CMC Markets Launches Free Tools for MetaTrader 4

CMC Markets, the leading spread betting and contracts for difference provider, has partnered with FX Blue to provide an extensive range of free tools for those clients using the MetaTrader 4 trading platform in a move that complements the leading functionality of CMC Markets Next Generation platform.

Traders will be handed 12 add-ons and 15 indicators for free as they are now allowed to trade with Expert Advisors (EAs). A total of 27 additional applications will be available to any CMC Markets client actively trading across the online platform. Featured add-ons include a correlation matrix and sentiment trader, whilst indicators on offer range from simple order histories and pivot points through to Renko blocks and Keltner channels.

Ryan O’Doherty, Head of Product Development at CMC Markets, commented: “Our proprietary and flexible Next Generation platform remains incredibly popular with the vast majority of traders, but we know that some clients have worked for years on MT4. By providing them with a comprehensive range of add-on tools for this global platform, they get the comfort of a familiar trading environment with improved functionality, whilst being secure in the knowledge that they are dealing through one of the most respected names in the industry.”

The full list of add-ons for MT4 includes the Mini Terminal, where treades can place pending orders and modify them directly from a chart, and the Trade Terminal, where users can access quote panels and set up alerts. Tick chart trader and market manager are also in the list of new add-ons. In regard to MT4 indicators, CMC Markets included order history, pivot points, Renko, Donchian channel, Keltner channel, and candle countdown.

Most recently, CMC Markets has been launching proprietary indices, including three new indices for the energy, agricultural and precious metals sectors, as the broker offers commodity indices as a cost-effective way to diversify and cushion the volatility risk of individual commodities. The broker also introduced three new crypto indices to its trading offering, each made up of a different group of cryptocurrencies.

The Investment Trends 2019 UK Leverage Trading Report found the UK FCA-regulated broker to be the provider with the highest levels of customer satisfaction and awarded CMC Markets as the highest-rated mobile platform/app, email customer service, and telephone customer service, as well as the platform with highest-rated features and education materials. The report assessed client perceptions of the major spread betting, CFD and FX trading firms across 23 key categories including customer service, platform reliability, platform features, and education materials.
