Active traders often end up with more accounts than they ever intended to open. A forex account from several years ago, a separate venue for digital assets, a share dealing account somewhere else, and a spreadsheet holding the whole picture together. CGM NEO, the digital platform of Continental Global Markets, is built on the argument that this arrangement costs more than it appears to.

The cost is rarely a headline fee. It shows up as idle balances spread across venues, positions that cannot be viewed next to each other, and time lost moving funds between platforms at exactly the moment a market is moving.
