Company FAQ
General FAQ
What is the minimum deposit for a live account with CMCGLOBAL?
The minimum deposit is either 500 EUR (account in euro), 500 CHF (account in Swiss francs), 500 GBP (account in pound sterling), or 500 USD (account in US dollars). You can also make your initial payment into an account operated in euro in USD, for example. However, please note that you need the equivalent of 500 EUR in USD to be able to utilise the live account.
Does CMCGLOBAL offer different accounts for different investment volumes?
No. There is only one market and only one spread. Each trader is given the same market access with CMCGLOBAL. We believe that this is the most transparent option and that each trader deserves to get the best market access. Traders trading high volumes are able to get rebates on the commission payable. Rebates can be granted based on a proven volume traded.
Please send an email regarding this to support@cmcgm.org
Is there any commission due when trading via CMCGLOBAL and, if so, how much is it?
Yes, commission is charged when trading via CMCGLOBAL.We are completely transparent and do not hide any costs in the spread. You can see from our rates what spreads the market offers at the time (FX, stocks) or the spread we need for hedging ourselves in a particular reference market (CFDs on indices, commodities, bonds). If you execute a trade, we charge commission but we do not gain from your trade via the spread. We believe this approach is transparent and fair.
Does CMCGLOBAL permit scalping and automated trading?
Yes. We welcome you, no matter what your trading style and allow the use of any Expert Advisor (automated trading system). CMCGLOBAL doesn't have a dealing desk and never holds the counter position to the trader. We are therefore happy to welcome scalp traders.
What is the smallest order size?
The minimum order size in Forex trading is 0.01 lot or 1 microlot (1,000 units of base currency), and for CFDs on indices, bonds, and commodities 1 lot (= 1 CFD). The minimum order size for DMA equity CFDs is 1 lot (= 1 stock share). However, there is an exception on some instruments where the mini lot size (0.1 CFD) is enabled. For a complete overview of the lot sizes, please refer to our contract specifications.

What is an Expert Advisor (EA)?
Expert Advisors are automated trading systems based on the MQL programming language. EAs are used to automate analytical and/or trading processes. For example, EAs are able to execute entire trading strategies completely independently. Most EAs require that they are placed on the chart that correlates with the currency pair/s being traded, however it is possible for some EAs to work on a chart that does not correlate with the currency pair/s being traded. It is very important to note that an EA will only operate when the platform is open. If the platform is closed this will turn off the EA. If you want to ensure that your EAs are continuously running, independent of your computer and internet connection, we offer a VPS solution.
Note: EAs are automated trading systems that were developed by third parties. CMCGLOBAL does not assume any liability whatsoever for losses caused by employing these EAs.
How can I program EAs?
To create your own EAs (automatic trading systems) and indicators, you need to use the programming software included in the platform called MetaEditor. This can be started from Tools/MetaQuotes Language Editor or by pressing the F4 key. This software provides an appropriate integrated programming environment, from which you can develop your own EAs.
How can I have an EA trading on my live account?
If, after careful consideration, you have decided to let an EA trade on your CMCGLOBAL live account, you have to proceed as follows:
The EA must be saved in the correct folder. This folder is located by going to the top Left of the platform and clicking on
File, Open Data Folder, MQL4, Experts.
After any new EA or Indicator is added to the platform it will be required to close and restart the platform to make the new tool visible.
Open the Navigation
window and pull (drag and drop) the EA onto the chart.
Should the EA contain DLLs, you need to activate (by ticking) the box Enable import of DLLs
within the
Options
menu. Normally any included DLLs will need to be placed in the Libraries Folder that is also located in the MQL4 folder.
To turn on the EA please click the Expert Advisor
button which appears in the upper section of the platform. You should now be able to see a 'smiley' face in the top right-hand part of the chart which means that the EA is now running.
Note: EAs are automated trading systems developed by third parties. CMCGLOBAL does not assume any liability whatsoever for losses caused by using these EAs.
Can I use Add-Ons, Indicators and EAs on the MT4+ WebTrader or MT4+ Mobile App?
Our exclusive MT4+ Add-Ons and Indicators package is currently only available in our MT4+ Desktop version, however you can use the built-in indicators that are already pre-installed. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use custom indicators or Expert Advisors on MT4+ WebTrader or Mobile Apps.
What is a custom indicator?
A custom indicator can be any indicator that was developed and programmed for use with the MT4 platform using MetaEditor, and the MQL programming language. Indicators are used as informational tools for trading, and each indicator can be used for a different purpose.
