Marketmaker Web can be accessed by any computer, overcoming the earlier option of downloading only onto a desktop or mobile phone. Marketmaker features real-time streaming quotes, one click trading, advanced order types and real-time account management. It also provides one user ID and password for accounts accessing both the software and web access version for online trading.

CMC Markets has also introduced a new education zone for clients with trader health check, a series of questions related to the trader’s experience and interests, which then yields customized training suggestions drawing on CMC Market’s education materials.

Clients can also have access to education on demand, a series of online video training modules, divided into beginner, intermediate and advanced trader levels. Other educational tools include video walk-throughs for maximizing use of the Marketmaker trading platform, a trading library, and trading IQ, and an educational program for new traders.

Bruce Seago, CEO of CMC Markets Canada, said: “Our growing clientele consists of active traders and serious investors who demand powerful and reliable trading platforms to execute their trades. Having established ourselves as a global leader in online trading, we take great pride in being leading-edge and client-focused. With the launch of these new initiatives today, we are moving our clients forward with the latest technologies, resources and customer support.

“Since we started offering our products to retail investors, ongoing customer education is more important than ever. Our recently expanded training and education resources ensure that we have provided our clients with a valuable depth and breadth of trading knowledge.”
