Best Thread CMC Markets owner answers your questions

[PC at CMC Markets]

hi gle101,

Forums have in the past been used too much for letting off steam. They are supposed to be balanced view on the broker you are using at the time an arena for clients or potential clients to express their views (good or bad) about their broker and other aspects of the markets.

In the past forums, especially in the early days were used as a ranting forum. Also many companies would use forums to promote their companies so the original message gets lost.

I have genuinely tried to answer all questions without promoting CMC Markets. I have genuinely not used this forum as a gimmick or platform to push the company. At times it seems I am and in the early days I was probably too pro CMC Markets but I have learnt from that and I have tried always to get a fair and balanced view. I suppose I will always be bias but I try not to be.

anyway thanks for your postings, enjoy your ABBA cds and hopefully you will be able to become a client soon.

regards Peter

If I ask a question on let say Capitalspreads thread I generally do get some answers. Here not so, but I agree, traders should post their experience when things is going well trading with a SB company (I do that frequently). This is just as important (at least for me) as the complaints we read all the time.

Ha ha, thanks a lot. Sweden is more than ABBA these days when it comes to the music industry. But I agree ABBA were ahead of their time when it came to studio production excellence.

Yes the old classics still holds, I am myself a country music lover, so we are quite apart from each other, ha ha.

I myself got an Android tablet, not a fancy tablet like ipad, never could stand the Mac operating system.

Imagine having a trading setup with Mac products, one would just be ruined, rather spare that money trading with CMC. You could be right, being a Dos guy initially, one probably have some preconception about the Apple stuff.

Hi gle101,

Well we have had some responses to live trading, there has not been complete silence. I suppose the easy answer is that our next gen clients are happy. I honestly do not know why they do not post the good news. Maybe the perception of a forum is that you only complain on it (in general). If that is the case then you only have yourselves to blame.

tks pc

I agree we had some reviews here from live clients i wouldn't say it was a complete silence .

 

[BigInTheCity]

But where are the live clients Peter? Not on this forum anyway, they simply will not post. I have been asking a simple question about getting much needed feedback on a highly traded instrument like the Dow (US30). I have been meet by complete silent. With a narrow spread of 0.90 there should be more interest in letting traders know how you guys are executing. Trade2win is an important forum for spread betting (that is why you are here), but it beats me why there is not more interest in contributing their findings about trading with CMC next-gen, and you being here patiently answering almost every question, should also add to the interest in getting traders to post their experience.

Hi gle101

I traded the Dow during the extremely volatile days the other week, instant execution getting in and out of trades, no problem what so ever.

 

[PC at CMC Markets]

Thank you Mr Big.
and the Dow spreads are fixed as well so did we maintain the 0.9 spreads throughout ?
tks for taking the time to post your views.

Thanks a lot, sounds good, this kind of market is really a tough test for any SB. Please continue to post how it goes.

 

[BigInTheCity]

Yeah I'm pretty sure you guys did, which considering the volatility was fantastic!!

 

[BigInTheCity]

Will do gle101, I have to say, so far I'm really impressed and as I've said before, I actually feel like I can trust CMC. Which in the past is hard to say about a SB company in my opinion!!

So count me in for the one after!!

Cheers

Big.

Thanks, a little bit early yet, but a good start if some more traders would post and confirm. I agree the volatility is incredible, many SB companies is not to happy about that, doesn't hurt CMC next-gen, what do you say Peter?

 

[Truth Seeker]

hi gle101,
no orders are never rejected just some times we do not receive them due to
latency in the internet. if we received an order we execute it.

many thanks for your numerous postings.

regards peter

Hi Peter

So the only reason some orders would be through latency issues? Can you share the CMC IP address so we can ping it to see what the latency reading is then?
