<![CDATA[cmc markets uk, premium broker or just expensive]]>cmc markets is one of the oldest established uk brokers. lse listed, FCA regulated, has been around since the 80s. their pricing is on the higher end compared to offshore-leaning brokers, but you get institutional grade everything.

for those whove traded with cmc: is the premium pricing justified by quality, or are you paying brand tax for the listed-company assurance?
