Commodity tools
CMC Markets offers a range of trading tools to help you with your commodities trading including:
Product factsheets
Everything you should need to know about a commodity can be obtained from within our product factsheets accessed directly through the platforms. The factsheets contain relevant information for each commodity you are trading in one location. View details on margin levels, spreads, trading hours, background information, influencing factors as well as Dow Jones news and live charting. Click here to learn more about factsheets.
Advanced charts
Our customisable charts come with a full range of technical studies and overlays, as well as drawing tools and so much more. Our inbuilt charting package is loaded with advanced features and tools but yet is simple to use. All of your popularly requested chart types are available including line, candle, OHLC, Haikin Ashi and spread charts. Using different chart types can help you to spot significant high and low share price levels, plus you can monitor the consistency of our spreads. You can even trade directly from the charts themselves to make placing trades against historical price action even easier. You should bear in mind that historical performance does not guarantee future performance. Click here to learn more about advanced charts.
