Fixed Risk Account

Account overview

The CMC Markets Fixed Risk CFD Account is ideal for investors who want to take advantage of the tax, leverage, and short-selling benefits of CFDs without the unlimited potential downside. The two key advantages of the Fixed Risk Account are that your account cannot go overdrawn and that stop orders you place will benefit from our unique ‘No-Slip’ Guarantee, protecting you from unforeseen market slippage.

Benefit from our unique 'No-Slip' Guarantee on all Stop Orders

CMC Markets guarantees that the stop orders placed on a Fixed Risk Account will be protected from market slippage. That means that even if the market gaps above or below your chosen level, we will close your position at the level you specified. This provides a powerful tool to limit the risk usually associate with trading orders.
