Cutting-edge charts

Trade execution
City Index's execution technology has been designed to give traders a competitive edge.
Trade using unrealised profits
City Index allows you to use any unrealised profits from open positions as margin for any new positions that you may wish to open. Allowing you to maximise your trading resources
Futures roll-over discount
If you wish to automatically roll over your futures trade at expiry, you will only pay half the spread. Your position will be closed at the mid-price and re-opened in the next contract at the bid/offer
Go long and short simultaneously
If you wish to hedge an existing position, you can by selecting the hedging button in the order ticket which allows you to go long and short simultaneously on the same instrument
Scale in and out of trades
Scale in and out of trades easily by adding to or closing out your trade in increments. When closing out, you can select which order to close out on a first in first out (FIFO) or non-FIFO basis
Close out level
City Index will aim to close out trades if your funds fall below 50% of your margin requirement to protect clients against negative balances. This should not be used as a stop loss
Price improvement
If the price moves in your favour while your order is being processed, City Index will execute your order at the better price, increasing your opportunity to make a profit
Customise your trade settings
Personalise your trade settings to suit your trading style.
One-click trading mode
Increase the speed with which you trade by selecting 'One-Click Trading' mode, to make sure you don’t miss out on trading opportunities in fast moving markets. Toggle easily between one-click and two click-settings.


Adjust your price tolerance
Adjust price tolerance on a per instrument basis to increase or decrease the amount of slippage you are prepared to accept if the execution price moves away from your order level.
