Tickmill review

First and main problem is fake and imaginary WTI CFD price they offer in the moment. Their price currently is at 9.64$ for barrel, while true WTI CFD price is 26$ for barrel, it can be checked with any other broker, or simply by looking at CME futures prices for WTI, all contracts are above 25$ for barrel.

Tickmill have applied close only mode on WTI, and since I have 3 long positions I am not able to close my positions with significant profit of 26 000$, and trader can not open new long positions on that absurd, fake, low price they offer because it is only close only mode applied. I would have no problems with their close only mode if they offer true WTI CFD price, instrument I was trading with. Their excuse is that they follow movement of december 2020 futures price, which is also invalid since price for december futures is over 30$ for barrel, and also price movement is completely different. They refuse to pay my winnings after weeks of annoying conversations and invalid arguments they try to provide. I am experienced trader who has account with over 10 brokers, and what they say is completely absurd and not acceptable! Difference in their price from true price is almost 300%, no LP can justify that. There is only one true WTI CFD price and it is between 26$ and 27$ for barrel at the moment I am writing this review. I have been with tickmill over 5 years and they are my experience with them is excellent.
They provide direct market trading with minimal commission and almost no slippage.

Traders reviews

Length of use: over 1 year

I have been with tickmill over 5 years and they are my experience with them is excellent.
They provide direct market trading with minimal commission and almost no slippage.

Deposits and withdrawals are fast if using skrill or neteller even faster.

They do have a client outreach and communicate with you occasionally on promotions or events they hold.

I have had no qualms' with them at all.

Commendable and one of the best. Keep up the good work.

Length of use: over 1 year

Tickmill threatens with legal action against me because I expose truth on social media how they refuse to pay me my funds, $35 966! Funds are not paid for more then 6 months already, and they now even threaten with legal action against me. I fight this SCAM company hard with regulators and I am going also to bring my case on court. This unjustice and fraudulent behavior must be stopped!

I strongly advise everyone to stay away from tickmill. This is SCAM company and I kindly ask forexpeacearmy to mark this company with SCAM label and their ratings erased to 0.

Aug 17, 2020 - 1 star this is SCAM company and it should be put where it belongs, to SCAM brokers. Their ratings erased.

Their price at the moment is on 24.10 $. Also straight forward crippled price action. While at same time december futures 2020 contract price which they claim they follow is on 43.22 $ with very much visible dips during upside movement. Something which we do not see in tickmill's price action!

For situation to be even worse, they charge insane swap for long positions of more then 14 points! Total SCAM! This must be punished!

Tickmill continues their fraudulent activity by offering imaginary, fake, and wrong spot WTI price. Price which has nothing to do with reality, or with any futures contract price. Random number they transmit.

I am in close contact with FSA regulator which works on my case, and hopefully this week there will be some real progress regarding my case, and my funds paid in full.

Tickmill must pay me funds they owe me, $35 966 must be paid to my trading account # 3033967.

For more information about my case, you can follow it here: scam - scam alerts - tickmill SCAM! Offers invalid WTI price in close only mode, wrong price execution for all bigger trades.

May 11, 2020 - 1 star I am going to describe 2 problems I ran into with tickmill. My trading account # 3033967.

First and main problem is fake and imaginary WTI CFD price they offer in the moment. Their price currently is at 9.64$ for barrel, while true WTI CFD price is 26$ for barrel, it can be checked with any other broker, or simply by looking at CME futures prices for WTI, all contracts are above 25$ for barrel. Tickmill have applied close only mode on WTI, and since I have 3 long positions I am not able to close my positions with significant profit of 26 000$, and trader can not open new long positions on that absurd, fake, low price they offer because it is only close only mode applied. I would have no problems with their close only mode if they offer true WTI CFD price, instrument I was trading with. Their excuse is that they follow movement of december 2020 futures price, which is also invalid since price for december futures is over 30$ for barrel, and also price movement is completely different. They refuse to pay my winnings after weeks of annoying conversations and invalid arguments they try to provide. I am experienced trader who has account with over 10 brokers, and what they say is completely absurd and not acceptable! Difference in their price from true price is almost 300%, no LP can justify that. There is only one true WTI CFD price and it is between 26$ and 27$ for barrel at the moment I am writing this review.

Second problem I encountered with wrong price execution for trades bigger then 1 lot size. This applies for all FX pairs and metals. Order is executed on price NOT SHOWN in MT4, but on price worse for client by 1-2 points. This happens every time, for manually opened positions and pending positions. They stole from me on over 500 trades these 1-2 point. It is not slippage, it is wrong price execution! I brought this issue also to them, and gave them chance to refund what they were stealing from me for years, but they refused with no true explanation provided, only fake arguments which has nothing to do with reality. Experienced trader like me can not be fooled or tricked like that.

I am going to continue to fight with them with these two problems and claim my funds via court if necessary if they continue to refuse to pay what they owe me.

Everyone can feel free to contact me directly here on FPA if further details about tickmill are wanted.

Commissions and fees

Tickmill offers three accounts. Bottom line, tickmill is best for active and VIP traders, who have access to pricing that competes among the lowest brokers in the industry.

Classic accounts: the classic account is commission-free, where traders only pay the bid/ask spread. However, the average spreads are higher relative to the other two account types, making the classic account unattractive.

Spreads: using typical spread data listed by tickmill for its pro account offering of 0.13 pips for the EUR/USD, the all-in cost equates to 0.53 pips when factoring in the RT commission equivalent of 0.4 pips. It is worth noting that tickmill records typical spread data during normal market conditions (when spreads are narrower).

Pro account: pro and VIP accounts both have a per-trade commission added to lower prevailing spreads and standout as competitive. With a low commission rate, the pro account will be ideal for most traders compared to the classic account, as spreads are inherently less expensive, and 75 instruments, including 62 currency pairs, can be accessed.

VIP versus pro accounts: while the VIP account requires a minimum balance of $50,000 for traders to access low commissions of $1 per standard lot (100k units) or $2 per round-turn (RT), the pro account has similar pricing with an RT commission of just $4 per round-turn standard lot. The pro account is available with as little as a $100 deposit.

Active trader discounts: tickmill offers three tiers for active traders, with rebates starting at $0.25 per standard for up to 1000 standard lots per month, to as much as $0.75 at tier-3 for those who trade more than 3001 standard lots monthly.

Platforms and tools

Tickmill is a metatrader-only broker offering the standard, out-of-the-box experience, for just MT4. Unfortunately, there are no notable add-ons, besides autochartist, to help tickmill stand out among the best metatrader brokers. Even metatrader 5 (MT5) is not offered. Finally, VPS hosting is available at tickmill and is useful for algorithmic traders using MT4.

Research

Tickmill is competitive in its offering of market research and continues to improve its research year over year. That said, tickmill still lags industry leaders IG and saxo bank in depth, personalization, and overall quality.

Trading tools: tickmill provides autochartist for automated technical analysis, myfxbook powers the broker's economic calendar, and forex news headlines stream from investing.Com.

Copy trading: in addition to the native MQL5 signals market available in MT4, tickmill also offers the autotrade feature of myfxbook for social copy-trading (note: this service is not available from the firm's UK branch).

Market insights: tickmill has a team of analysts that produce daily technical and fundamental analysis on the company's blog. I found that the broker does a good job covering the markets with a wide variety of research content for traders. Tickmill also offers archived webinars, technical and fundamental analysis videos, and news updates on its youtube page.

Education

Tickmill's education offering is better than the industry average but not quite good enough to make the cut as best in class (top 7).

Good stuff: highlights include live educational courses, a handful of ebooks, weekly webinars hosted in various languages, and archived webinars through youtube. Tickmill offers variety in both topic and type.

Drawbacks: tickmill continues to expand its scope of education material across written and video formats; however, educational content is mixed with market research, which makes it difficult to navigate and filter through. A dedicated educational portal would be a notable boost to tickmill’s educational offering.

Final thoughts

Tickmill caters best to high volume, high balance traders who trade only the most popular forex and CFD instruments. With a lack of platforms and a small range of markets, there is no question that there are better forex brokers for traders to consider in 2021 unless you can afford the VIP account at tickmill, which has highly-competitive pricing.

Is tickmill a regulated forex broker?

Regulations and licenses are important for traders and brokers so that a trusting relationship can be created. When a broker applies for a license, certain criteria and requirements must be met. A violation of the policy means in most cases a direct loss of the license.

Tickmill is even regulated several times. The broker has licenses from the FCA (UK), cysec (cyprus) and FSA (seychelles). It gives us a positive direct impression. European traders have to trade with the english license (FCA) or cysec license, which brings further benefits. On the other side, international traders have to choose the FSA license.

The safety of customer funds

The security of client funds should be given to a trusted broker. In online investments, trust in a broker is very important. Many smaller brokers with no license and experience sometimes handle money incorrectly. In order to avoid such a fraud, one should pay attention to certain criteria in broker selection.

Tickmill insures client funds separately from corporate funds to manage. For this purpose, the barclays bank is used, which operates internationally and is always liquid. In addition, client funds will be protected in the unlikely event of a bankruptcy or financial dilemma of tickmill with the financial services compensation scheme (FSCS) of up to £ 75,000. This is a very high value compared to other brokers, which usually have no deposit guarantee or a smaller one.

Regulation and safety:

• Regulated by FCA, cysec, and FSA


• Customer funds are managed by barclays bank


• High deposit guarantee of 75,000 GBP (FCA license)


• Safe website communication

Review of the tickmill conditions for traders

Tickmill is a true NDD broker (non-dealing desk) with well-known liquidity providers. It is traded herewith excluded conflict of interest between broker and customer. This is a big advantage as it is not a market maker.

There are more than 84 instruments available on the market. The broker is constantly trying to expand its offer and, for example, integrate new assets such as bitcoin. The offer is quite manageable and the tickmill tries to specialize with its offer on currencies (forex). Cfds (contracts for difference) are also available for commodities, government bonds or stock indices. Individual shares cannot be traded on this broker, so here’s a small smear in the rating that must be made.

Tickmill is characterized by its extremely tight spreads and low commission. We have compared many providers in recent years and tickmill is and remains the cheapest. The typical spread in the EUR/USD is only 0.00 – 0.01 pips small and the commission is a maximum of $ 2 per traded $ 100,000 (1 lot) in the pro account. Traders with higher deposits can even benefit from even smaller commissions ($ 1).

In addition, there are no requotes, as it is a true forex broker. This means you will always be able to open and close a position for the next best price in the market. The liquidity is always given by the various liquidity providers and the slippage is also very low on business news.

The best conditions:

• Very low spreads starting at 0.0 pips


• The extreme low commission in pro and VIP account is a huge advantage


• Pay only 2$ (pro) or 1$ (VIP) commission per 1 lot traded


• Fast execution and high liquidity


• More than 50 forex pairs


• Max. Leverage of 1:500

(note: get 5% spread rebate with the codes: IBU13836682 (EU) & IB60353132 (international))

Tickmill trading platform test

As a trading platform, the metatrader 4 is offered to you. This is a proven and worldwide trading platform for private and professional traders. The platform is available for the browser (web), desktop (download), android (app) and ios (app). With the metatrader, you can easily and flexibly access the markets of tickmill from anywhere in the world.

The metatrader is perfect for any trader who wants to earn sustainable money in the markets. Even with small capital can be traded, because there are micro lots available. In addition, there is always a guaranteed execution at tickmill and no partial execution.

Professional charting and analysis

A trading platform should be user-friendly and flexible. This can offer the metatrader. Several chart settings for the technical analysis are adjustable. Use the well-known candlesticks for an even better analysis of the markets. Tickmill also provides educational tutorials for beginners.

In addition, use free indicators, which are adjustable for your personal strategy. The metatrader comes with a lot of tools after installation. If you do not have enough, you can add additional tools to metatrader 4. Use self-programmed indicators for every chart.

Trading tutorial: how do forex and CFD trading work?

Forex is the largest market worldwide. Daily several trillions of dollars are being transacted in this market. That is why it is also highly liquid and interesting for beginners and experienced traders. Tickmill offers over 60 different currency pairs. Including many currencies from emerging markets. This is a huge advantage for those who are looking for an exotic currency pair for trading. For currencies, you can bet on falling or rising prices. Buy one currency and sell the other currency from the currency pair. The difference in the price is well written as profit.

Cfds are also offered. They are leveraged derivatives that can be traded on a variety of values. For the opening of a CFD trade, you do not buy directly the underlying asset, but only the contract to that value. This has several advantages because you can act with a high level of leverage and very easily place short trades. The broker rounds off the offering with cfds on stock indices, commodities, precious metals, and bonds.

Invest in falling or rising prices and secure the position with a stop loss and take profit. These are limits that automatically close your position. Since the calculation is sometimes confusing, tickmill offers a forex calculator. With this calculator, you can determine your risk and the position size in just a few seconds.

Tickmill offers fast order execution and high liquidity

Tickmill has several data and data centers around the world. In metatrader 4 you can choose the best access (server) for you. The broker is also characterized by its low latency. With the connection to the live server in london I have a latency of under 30 ms. If that is still too slow, you can rent a VPS server.

Personally, we had no problems with the order execution. The website also emphasizes that there are no requotes. Even with large position sizes 30 lot + can be traded easily. You always get a direct and immediate execution at the best prices.

Tickmill is a non-dealing desk broker, which has a similarity to an ECN broker. The difference between NDD and ECN is that the broker still sits between the market and clients. An obligation to pay additional funds can be excluded.

Use a VPS-server for the best connection

The provider allows any strategies and automatic programs. Expert advisors (eas) can run 24 hours a day automatically through a VPS server at tickmill. The latency is very low and the price from $ 22 a month too.

• The best choice for automatic programs


• Low latency


• Cheap fees (22$ per month)

Tickmill automated trading is possible

Tickmill allows every strategy and also automated programs. As mentioned above you can rent a VPS server very cheap. In connection with the metatrader 4 it works without problems and the setup is very simple. Program automatic programs for your trading or use provided trading systems. Today, more than 50% of the order executions are made automatically in the forex market.

Here you can see again that tickmill is a serious NDD broker. Dubious brokers forbid strategies or automatic programs. In addition, tickmill has no limit for stop-loss and take-profit brands. So it can be traded very small movements. Due to the low fees, it is worthwhile to scalping and day trading.

VPS-server allows you trading 24/7 on tickmill.

How to open your free tickmill account:

Another plus point for tickmill is the simple depot opening. According to the website, you need a maximum of 3 minutes for this and we can confirm this personally. Fill in the form with your personal data. Then you get direct access to the customer portal of tickmill. In addition, your email must be confirmed.

After that, the account has to be verified. Thanks to the strong regulations, brokers are not allowed to pay out to unverified customers. Even after the first deposit, the account must be verified urgently. Since our account is a bit older, we can not tell you whether a deposit without verification is possible.

For verification, it is sufficient to upload your ID and proof of address. The broker confirms the documents within 24 hours (weekdays). For even faster verification, contact support and say that your documents have been uploaded. Then you have access to the full functions of the trading account.

Unlimited demo account for beginners at tickmill

The free demo account of tickmill is perfect for beginners or experienced traders. It is unlimited and without expiration time. Traders can trade the markets with virtual assets and simulate real trading. Experienced traders learn new strategies or test new markets. For the demo account, no deposit or verification is necessary.

(note: get 5% spread rebate with the codes: IBU13836682 (EU) & IB60353132 (international))

3 different account types – which one you should choose?

Tickmill offers 3 types of accounts for traders. Interesting for us is only the pro and VIP account. From our experience, it is not worth the classic account to open, because the fees are accordingly higher than in the pro account. In the following text, we will inform you about the terms of each account.

As described above, the fees are sensationally low. Read the table below for more details. The pro accounts commission is only $2. So you pay only a fee of $4 per completed trade. When you open a VIP account, you save another 50%, because you only pay $2 for each completed trade. Even with our code (under the registration button) can save another 5%.

Tickmill gives you the exact interbank spreads from 0.0 pips. Trading is smooth and fast processing is provided by european servers. Upon request, an islamic account without swaps (interest) can be created.

Classic	pro	VIP
min. Deposit:	100$	100$	50.000$
spreads:	1.6 pips	0.0 pips	0.0 pips
leverage:	max. 1:500	max. 1:500	max. 1:500
commission:	0$	2$ per 1 lot traded	1$ per 1 lot traded

Info: tickmill also offers its european customers to sign up as a professional trader and keep the high leverage of 1: 500.

The VIP account is the best choice for high volume forex traders

High-volume traders or companies can open a VIP account. From a deposit of 50,000$, you have even cheaper fees. You then only pay $ 1 per traded lot. This makes $ 2 per completed trader. These low costs can generate an increased profit. In addition, stop orders and limit orders are allowed close to market prices. This is a very good offer in comparison.

In summary, tickmill account types offer a great opportunity for every trader. The terms are very good and much better than other forex brokers. No matter if you want to trade the markets with small or big capital, tickmill is the right decision for beginners or advanced traders.

Compare the terms between tickmill and other brokers yourself. Tickmill is always the cheapest and has, therefore, made the first place in my forex broker comparison. With no other broker, you get so cheap trading fees without conflict of interest.

Review of the deposit and withdrawal of tickmill

At tickmill you can deposit and withdraw using the same methods. Bank transfer, credit card, skrill and neteller are available. On the payment and deposit, there are no fees.

My tests and experiences have shown that the payouts are very fast and the money is sent on the journey within 24 hours. You will receive a confirmation email after payment when the payout has been made.

How high is the minimum deposit? – trading with a small amount of money

The minimum deposit is regularly 100$/€. You can trade in the trading platform as low as 0.01 lot. This is a very small position size and the risk is in most cases only a few cents high. The provider is thus broadly positioned because even larger investors can trade without problems at this broker.

Tickmill deposit and withdrawal methods

Questions and tips for your transactions:

1. Open your free account at tickmill. Complete your data and verify the account. After verification, all functions of the broker are available to you.


2. How much money should you deposit? – this is entirely up to the goals and ideals of the trader. Some trading strategies, for example, are not feasible with a small sum of € 100. Be sure to test the demo account before making your first deposit.


3. Are my transactions with tickmill safe? – yes, tickmill works only with the best banks and verified payment providers. You can check all transactions in the customer portal.


4. Also, open several trading accounts in the customer portal. Thus it is possible to use different accounts for different strategies. An internal transfer takes only a few minutes.

New: now use sofortüberweisung (klarna) or paysafecard to capitalize your account even faster.

Is there negative balance protection?

The negative balance of an account is very feared by many traders. And this is also very justified. For some brokers, traders in the past have been able to build up debt or negative balance through extreme market conditions, which had to be balanced.

At tickmill there is no additional funding and you are thus protected against a negative balance.

One of the last important points in this review is trader support and service. Tickmill offers support in more than 10 different languages (also africa, asia, india, thai clients). From our experience, the broker employs international employees who exclusively look after every customer.

Support is available to customers 24 hours a week, 7 days a week. The support is provided by chat, phone or email. A trader should not lack anything here. My tests showed that the support is always fast and reliable!

Tickmill presented itself in different countries, for example at the world of trading in frankfurt. The broker had his own stand there and sought direct contact with his clients. Service is one of the most important things for traders and tickmill shows confidence and seriousness.

To further improve its service, well-known and professional traders are invited to hold webinars or other information sessions. Well-known names are giovanni cicivelli or mike seidel. The saying “by traders for traders” also applies here. Tickmill tries to give its customers the best performance combined with good service.

In summary, the support from tickmill is very good and professional. Our personal concerns were always resolved very quickly and we can make a clear recommendation here. Overall, the overall package is rounded off with a great service.

How we ranked fees

We ranked tickmill's fee levels as low, average or high based on how they compare to those of all reviewed brokers.

To get things rolling, let's go over some lingo related to broker fees. What you need to keep an eye on are trading fees, and non-trading fees.

• Trading fees occur when you trade. These can be commissions, spreads, financing rates and conversion fees.


• Non-trading fees include charges not directly related to trading, like withdrawal fees or inactivity fees.

Below you will find the most relevant fees of tickmill for each asset class. For example, in the case of forex and stock index trading the most important fees are spreads, commissions and financing rates.

We also compared tickmill's fees with those of two similar brokers we selected, axitrader and FXCM. This selection is based on objective factors such as products offered, client profile, fee structure, etc. See a more detailed rundown of tickmill alternatives.

To have a clear overview of tickmill, let's start with the trading fees.

Tickmill trading fees

Tickmill's trading fees are low. There are different cost structures for different account types. We tested the pro account, which charges a commission but offers tight spreads.

We know it's hard to compare trading fees for forex brokers. So how did we approach the problem of making their fees clear and comparable? We compare brokers by calculating all the fees of a typical trade for selected products.

We have chosen popular instruments in each asset class usually provided by the forex brokers:

• Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP


• Stock index cfds: SPX and EUSTX50

A typical trade means buying a leveraged product, holding it for one week and then selling. For the volume, we chose a $20,000 position for forex and a $2,000 position for stock index and stock CFD transactions. The leverage we used was:

• 30:1 for forex


• 20:1 for stock index cfds

These catch-all benchmark fees include spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers. Let's see the verdict for tickmill fees.

Forex fees

Tickmill has low forex fees. The forex fees are one of the lowest among the brokers we have reviewed.

Tickmill forex benchmark fees of a $20,000 30:1 long position held for one week

tickmill	axitrader	FXCM
EURUSD benchmark fee	$6.8	$5.1	$12.5
GBPUSD benchmark fee	$5.0	$4.3	$5.6
AUDUSD benchmark fee	$5.0	$3.4	$8.8
EURCHF benchmark fee	$4.7	$2.9	$3.3
EURGBP benchmark fee	$7.8	$5.2	$16.4

The low forex fees are mainly due to the low commission tickmill charges. The commission is 2 base currency units (first currency pair) per lot per trade. For example, it's €2 per lot per trade for EURUSD, while £2 per lot per trade for GBPUSD.

CFD fees

CFD fees are average.

Tickmill CFD fees for a $2,000 long position held for one week

tickmill	axitrader	FXCM
S&P 500 index CFD fee	$1.5	$1.3	$1.5
europe 50 index CFD fee	$1.2	$2.3	$1.6

Non-trading fees

Tickmill has low non-trading fees. There is no fee for deposit, withdrawal, or inactivity.

Tickmill reviews and comments 2021

Tickmill is scam broker they don't give your money back. Be careful & don't waste your time.

K. Sudesh ranga 16 april, 2020 reply

I chose tickmill through a referal from a forex education centre and it totally disappointed me. The online team is not 24 hours and they can barely do anything when you talk to them. Even after they arrange for a call back, it does not happen on many occasions. On top of them, they do not exercise margin calls like most brokers. My positions got wiped out just like that. And even after they liquidated some of my positions, my margin continues to be negative though my positions are in positive. Till date, this had not been resolved as they are always slow in replies. Recommend all to avoid this broker at all cost!

Vincent lim 15 april, 2020 reply

I chose tickmill accidentally, when I didn't understand anything in forex, but I was lucky that I didn't run into a rogue, but got into a good company, although all the chances were against me. First I opened there a demo account, then a real one, and soon decided to withdraw some money - on trial, would they not deceive you. Brought out. Then I began to quietly trade, and since then two more times I have withdrawn relatively small amounts - two times $ 300 each. There were no obstacles, only at the very first withdrawal it was a little long, scans of documents were required, but the next time they were no longer required.

Malcolm 25 july, 2019 reply

I usually do not write reviews, but here the situation is different, tickmill is a relatively young broker. I've been trading here for a month, and managed to withdraw, and I could bargain with the manager, I can confirm that I had a good deal of trying to make my debut. For a couple of weeks you will not make an objective conclusion about the company, but judging by what has already happened, and if there is something that will force me to stop working with the company, then it’s logical that I will not be silent, like everyone here, but as long as the stones do not fly towards the broker, then there are few newcomers here, they usually choose monopolists in the market, and this is a young broker, only those who are looking for it will find it, and the reason why there is not enough negative for you broker to maintain the level of service, after all, they are interesting for now.

Antony 18 july, 2019 reply

I work with three forex brokers companies simultaneously, including tickmill. I use different trading strategies with different brokers, so I can't guarantee 100% comparison accuracy, but it feels more comfortable with tickmill. First of all, I speak about situations when the price is going up and down and does not catch your stop, although the candle crossed it. But it can be a matter of strategy and selected tools, I can't vouch for it. But in principle I can advise with a clear conscience, a good broker, only maybe not for beginners.

I do not like to praise people or companies for nothing. But I am going over the facts on the experience of working with tickmill. This is quite a powerful STP broker from experienced major companies. The interbank market access is an highly important moment for me since there is no conflict of interest with the broker. This is seen immediately both in execution and real spreads that you observe in the terminal. As to spread without additional commissions, it is very adequate for them, the broker does not pull three skins from the client. With this, the spreads in their specifications correspond to those in real trading. They are not moving apart too much, even with extra volatility, as a pound has been observed recently. Just recently, the week on dollar/yena started with a gap and I was standing up for sale. The price opened at 40 points with a gap and immediately closed the deal. I planned to take 50 pips off the taka and took more than 90 off. Fact! I appreciate them for their honesty towards their clients.

Not bad broker, but kridex offers better spread, lower commissions, higher leverage nad faster execution

I love tickimil and they the best broker, but I am not sure why the withdrawals comes in half half. This is a good broker ever

Very good. Problem is leverage. Too small!

I have a serious problem with the bonus you provide us with.You're saying that "we can withdraw any profit we make"but why is it difficult to withdraw our profit.Even the log in details doesn't go through. What's wrong.I need help

Sharl 31 january, 2019 reply

Are serious about what you saying cos I was also asked to do the same but I haven't. Not sure if I should go ahead or just drop everything.

David 28 august, 2019

Tickmill trading bonus is a scum. Made 700usd and after they told mi to fund account so that I can withdraw then I did so nd since that day I'm still waiting to receive my profit so be careful guys

Thabo 12 november, 2018 reply

I've been trading for a couple of years now and have tried out many brokers, but tickmill has really made a difference for me. Really reliable broker, with great execution. Plus, I've never had any issues with withdrawals.

Fraud company. One of their representative name - sumit lakeshri in india took 12,000 INR from me to deposit funds in tickmill & now since last 20 days his number is switch off. Fraud company & fraud executive. Don't attend call from tickmill.

Have you tried any methods to recover your investment? I hired a refund solution professonial to retrieve my funds.

Christie 2 august, 2017

Compared platform trading conditions with other brokers, it's just better.

Jozefntou1 14 march, 2017 reply

**wanted to add 5 stars!! But website put 1 star?

Jozefntou1 14 march, 2017

For sure this broker can be recommended. Trading is profitable here. The orders are executed instantly. I prefer forex trading with advantage on its ECN pro account with minimum deposit $ 25. ECN spreads are fluctuating but great widening is not observed. I like to trade chinese yuan against USA dollar. The environment allows the yuan to trade freely and forecast the movements of it taking advantage of the exchange rate fluctuation. The broker even credits positive slippage to my account… sometimes there is a negative one during news release – get used to it trading with other brokers. Do not think it is possible to avoid it completely.

Ingmar 21 june, 2016 reply

Excellent broker. One of the best. Good prices. Competitive.

Timay10 13 august, 2016

Don’t like it at all. Though, I heard many good things about tickmill. But I lost my money several times here because of slippage. In reviews they say that there is no slippage (I’ve read). “you got me all misty-eyed,” - as my favorite character says. The price moves up and down regardless of what is requested. The connection with the platform is often interrupted. I faced the problems with closing of positions and execution of the orders. Moreover, usually fast withdrawals suddenly just stopped. I could not get my money immediately already twice waiting for withdrawals during a week. Wouldn’t recommend this broker. I’m leaving.

I have been trading with tickmill nearly around 7 months with their clas sic account. I have gone through some profits and losess in my trading account. I can say they are really have good spreads start from 1.2pips for EURUSD in their clas sic account. I think their trading platform for offshore broker are really awesome, and I noticed in 7months I trade with tickmill, I never has disconnecting problem, or freezing chart problem. Customer services are polite. Wide range payment methods, including famous e-payment methods in my country. I hope in near future they will have more regulations and offer swap free account.

Arsen 2 february, 2016 reply

Opened an ECN account with them and deposit small amount , $100 to test their executions. My plan was do news trade with this broker,because they claimed as ECN. To be honest, my news trade was executed perfectly. Their spreads when news were litlle bit high , around 1.2-2 pips when news, but no problem,. As long as my trade executed fairly. Made some profits and some losses, got 40% profits, and decide to withdraw my profits, and recieved it fast in my skrill account. Good broker with good services. They are fair and not mess with your account with you made some profits.

Mahesaroni 26 january, 2016 reply

I have a ECN account with them. The execution is fast and the spread is very good, never had an issue with trading , like delayed trades, freezing chart , or any other problems that usually happen with another brokers, if you are a news trader, you need to adjust your stoploss with their widening spreads. Depositing money in any brokers are always smooth ,however tickmill withdrawing process is fast. A good forex broker with good attitude so far.

Ardian 15 january, 2016 reply

I've trading with tickmill for 4 months and what i can say, they are honest broker. Trade with their no commisions account and satisfied with their spreads, 1.2 pips for EURUSD is perfect spreads for trading either scalping or intraday. However it is variable spreads, so sometimes i got 2.0 pips. But it is normal if we trade with variable spreads broker. Their customer service is good, professional and polite when answering my questions. But i will love them more if they are add more trading platform like ctrader. Overall as a happy clients , so far, they are doing a great job and i hope they can maintain and stick with their quality in future. Sorry if i have error in grammar since english is not my mother language

Verry2114 8 january, 2016 reply

Move to tickmill from my old broker. And i am satisfied with tickmill trading conditions. My old broker compare with tickmill ?My old brokers charge 5 pips spread and $50 commisions, so i am very satisfied with tickmill
and different with my old broker, their platform never freeze in high impact news. Fast withdrawal. What i can expect more?

Malenchelon 24 december, 2015

My trading style is to put all of my balance in one trading. That is why i only deposit as low as possible and take profit as much as possible. And market only need move 50.0-100.0 pips against my open trade before i got stop out
other broker ban my trading style. I do not know why. And some of other let me do my style and delete my profit after that. Which is unfair. In my tickmill ECN account, i can trading using my style without any problem. They accept my style.And have no problem withdrawing my profit
