Share trading tools
CMC Markets offers a range of support trading tools to help you with your share CFD trading including:
Product factsheets
Everything you need to know about a product can be obtained from within our product factsheets accessed directly through the platforms. The Factsheets contain all relevant information for each product, in one location.

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, Heikin 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.

Compare the past performance of individual products and track the mix over multiple timeframes to see how it reacts to different market conditions. With the portfolio mixer you can create and save any number of new mixes. Click here to learn more about creating your own portfolio mixer.
