I’ve found CMC Spread Bet to be a very robust trading platform which is easy to navigate. It has great charting facilities with many configuration options. It’s easy to place trades and adjust stop losses. Bid/ask spreads are competitive. A huge range of products are available. More recent features such as Trade Analytics are helpful although it lacks a feature keeping track of trade costs. I trust this platform to perform well.
Their charting tools are useless
x_F1r3F0x_x8e
The charting tools on this platform are a complete joke. As someone who relies on technical analysis, they are unusable. Trying to apply a simple indicator like a moving average requires navigating through three separate pop-up windows. Once you do, customizing its parameters (like the period length) is done via a tiny, unresponsive slider. Drawing trendlines is even worse; they don't snap to candles properly, and half the time, they disappear when you switch between timeframes. I can’t save my chart layouts, so I have to re-apply all my indicators and drawings every single time I log in. It’s an inefficient, buggy mess that makes proper analysis impossible. A chart is a trader's most important tool, and this app has provided its users with a broken one.
The order executed with an error
t3ch_Junk13QY
The push notifications are dangerously unreliable. I have alerts set for price movements on key stocks I am watching. Half the time, they don't come through at all. The other half, they are delayed by several minutes. A price alert that arrives five minutes late is completely useless for any trader. Today, I got an alert that a stock had crossed my target price. I opened the app to sell, only to see the price had already hit that target ten minutes ago and had since fallen significantly. I'm relying on these alerts to make timely decisions, and their failure means I am constantly missing my best exit points, which costs me a lot of money over time. Every update breaks everything, so annoing
Good from an execution standpoint
Brogliogty
Been with CMC for 84 trades now, so not buckets but enough to form an opinion. Of the other big platforms so far I’ve found them the most fair with incredibly low slippage and good execution. Tech analysis too basic on the app but it is across the board with IG and City Index as well, do your analysis elsewhere. App very occasionally freezes and requires a phone restart but this is once in a blue moon. On the whole, good, with a bit of work, could be great.
