Broker accounts
CMC Markets account types
CMC Markets's official website names these accounts, each exactly as written on its source page: live account, Standard account, FX Active account, Standard Account, FX Active Account, CFD account, Corporate account, CMC CFD account, MT4 account. The same account can appear under two spellings on two pages; each row keeps the legal entity and jurisdiction its source names. An account name says nothing about how orders are executed.
The table below compares only conditions the sources state for a named account. Values stated for the brand as a whole are on the broker profile.
Content updated . Page revision 8, published ; page first published . Accountable editor: Anthony Wall.
Every value on this page was accepted against the cited page of the broker's official website and applies only to the account, legal entity, jurisdiction and instrument named beside it. It is not a review, reports no hands-on testing and does not say who may open an account.

How do these accounts differ?
Use the conditions in each row, not the account name, to identify documented differences. A Raw, ECN or Pro label alone does not establish execution method, fees or eligibility. Unknown entity or jurisdiction does not establish a compatible scope between two rows.
Names and capitalization remain as written on the sources. We do not combine similar labels without evidence that they identify the same account and scope. A demo or swap-exemption label may describe a feature rather than a separate live account; follow its evidence before treating it as an alternative.
Only compare costs when instrument, currency, volume and side basis agree. Missing deposit or commission evidence means unknown, not zero. The evidence gaps below explain which questions this page cannot answer.

One row per account and scope as named on the sources. Accounts with different names or scopes stay separate rows. Repeated answers share one line with links to every evidence record.
