Online broker CMC Markets has partnered with St Kilda Football Club to bring traders a new series – Analyst Mode.

Behind every goal or brilliant tackle are small moments of data analysis, communication and decision making that drive performance, CMC Markets explains. As AFL uses data to improve on player performance and game strategy, CMC Markets utilises data-driven trends and insights to inform its trading strategies.

The new series ‘Analyst Mode’ focuses on these key moments that lead to the memorable AFL plays the public gets to see every season. The broker invites traders to come along as CMC dissects these key stats and see how they feature in St Kilda’s game.
