The difference between a trading platform and a complete brokerage experience is often found in the details that clients encounter before, during and after placing a trade. CGM NEO, the digital platform from Continental Global Markets, brings these elements together through a combination of market access, account flexibility, digital onboarding, trading platforms and ongoing client support.
For the CGM brokerage, the objective is not simply to provide another place to access financial markets. CGM NEO has been structured around the different stages of the client relationship, from opening an account to accessing instruments and managing a trading environment.
One of the clearest examples is the onboarding process. Biometric KYC can be completed in under three minutes, while a virtual IBAN is available on day one. These are practical features that address two of the earliest interactions a prospective client has with a brokerage. Instead of treating onboarding as an administrative step separate from the platform, CGM has incorporated it into the broader digital experience.
Account flexibility is another part of the proposition. CGM NEO provides Standard accounts from $50, Pro accounts from $200 and ECN accounts from $2,500. An Islamic account is also available on a swap-free basis. This gives clients different account structures within the same CGM broker environment.
Once inside the platform, clients have access to more than 2,000 instruments across six asset classes. These include forex, metals, shares, indices, commodities and digital assets. The forex offering includes 55+ currency pairs, allowing the platform to serve clients interested in currencies while also providing access to other market categories.
The technology behind that access is equally important. MetaTrader 5 is available across desktop, web and mobile, alongside the Continental Neo App and Continental AI Terminal. This gives clients multiple ways to interact with the CGM trading platform depending on their preferred device and workflow.
CGM also provides sub-1ms order routing through an STP/ECN hybrid model with tier-1 aggregated liquidity. The infrastructure gives the platform a clearly defined technical foundation rather than relying solely on broad descriptions of speed or innovation.
The service layer extends beyond the platform itself. Continental Global Markets supports clients in 10+ languages through a 24/7 follow-the-sun model, reflecting the company’s international client base.
For a business operating since 2006, CGM NEO represents the latest stage in a much longer evolution. The platform combines the company’s established brokerage experience with a digital environment built around specific client touchpoints.
Clients can explore the wider proposition through CGM NEO.
What makes CGM NEO distinctive is therefore not one individual feature. It is the way onboarding, account choice, market access, platform technology and client support are brought together within one brokerage relationship. For Continental Global Markets, that is the foundation of a digital experience designed for the next stage of its business.
Trading forex, CFDs and digital assets carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors.
