Tickmill ltd is a NDD broker, which means that we just clear our clients’ trades and retranslate quotes we get from our liquidity providers. Orders in the real market are always executed at current market prices, which is why a slippage may occur in the case of a sharp movement. Please note, that during market-moving news or high volatility, the risk of slippage is higher than during normal conditions. With us, you will get both positive and negative slippages.

Tickmill negative balance protection

We do offer cash cfds that allow you to trade with a continuous price that isn’t subject to an expiration date. The cash CFD price is derived from the underlying futures contracts.

What are your spreads?

We offer floating spreads for all account types – classic, pro, and VIP. The classic account offers variable spreads, starting from 1.6 pips with no commissions. Both pro and VIP accounts offer variable spreads, starting from 0.0 pips with low commissions.

You can check out our spreads by clicking here.

At market opening and closing times and prior to announcements, the market spreads may widen substantially. Consequently, you must ensure that you have sufficient funds on your account to cover this eventuality.

Do you offer MT4 multiterminal?

We do not offer MT4 multiterminal.

If you wish, you can install multiple MT4 platforms and place them in different folders. You can download the MT4 platform from our website by clicking here.

If you click ‘NEXT’ on the first screen, it will then install MT4 to the default folder without asking. On the first screen, you will see the options ‘NEXT’, ‘CANCEL’ and ‘SETTINGS’. You need to click on ‘SETTINGS’ to change the default folder. Then, the system will give you the option to change the default install patch.

How can I find/check historical data?

You can download historical data from the MT4 trading platform, by clicking on:

Tools > history centre – then choose a trading instrument and finally press the ‘download’ button.

History will then be available on your trading platform, so you can click on:

File > open offline > open offline chart.

Please note that the longer the time frame, the longer the available history will be. For example, M5 history is available for 1.5 weeks, M15 history for 1 month, etc.

What are the limits of setting SL, TP, and TS?

You can set stop loss and take profit orders with no limits on all account types. SL and TP orders will still be active, even if your computer is switched off. The minimum trailing stop level is 1.5 pips or 15 points. It is possible to set only 1 trailing stop per order. You need to have the MT4 platform open to keep the trailing stop active.

Do you provide tick data?

Currently, we do not provide tick data, as MT4 is not able to store all ticks. Therefore, the tick data would not be accurate. There is an option for the server to store tick data, but we do not use it, as it is not able to store 100% of the ticks. In addition, that would slow down the server considerably due to a large amount of data, as the ticks are not filtered.

Do you offer FIX API connection?

We offer FIX API connection to our large private clients and institutional clients. The minimum account balance required is 500,000 £$€ and the required minimum monthly commission fee generated should be 5,000 £$€. We are not offering a demo version. If a client generates 5,000 £$€ or more in monthly commissions, then we do not charge any fees for using this service. However, if the monthly commissions are less than 5,000 £$€, then a fee applies (5,000 £$€ – amount of commission generated).

Do you offer negative balance protection/cover negative balance?

Traders who use the maximum leverage available face the risk of a negative balance.

For example: let’s assume that you have 200 USD on your account and you open 1 lot on USDJPY on friday evening, with 1:500 leverage and 200 USD margin.*

On sunday night, the market opens 30 pips away from friday’s closing price in a direction against you, so your position will immediately have a loss of 30 pips x 10 USD = 300 USD loss, while you have only 200 USD on your account.

The position will be automatically closed and your account would have a negative balance of -100 USD. This situation is 100% impossible when a trader uses 1:1 leverage. The higher leverage a trader uses, the more risks they take. Please also note that a negative balance may occur due to a slippage during high volatility.

Tickmill grants negative balance protection to all clients. The company may chose not to grant negative balance protection if the negative balance has been incurred as a result of fraudulent purposes or market abuse.

Moreover, our risk department is constantly monitoring our clients’ risk-taking and if we see that a client trades irresponsibly, then we will notify the client via e-mail and ask them to reduce risk exposure. Also, we might reduce the leverage on the client’s account.

*this is an illustrative example.

What are the requirements of the myfxbook auto trade?

The minimum amount to start trading on the autotrade account is 1,000 $€£. Trading terms are the same as on the pro, except for a 0.6 pip markup per side (1.2 pips in total). For example, if you trade 1 lot on EURUSD, then your total cost is = a commission of 4 euros + 1.2 pip spread. EA and manual trading are allowed on myfxbook autotrade accounts.

What is tickmill’s trade execution model?

Tickmill ltd is an FSA SC regulated broker with a fully automated no dealing desk (NDD) execution model, providing liquidity from global, top-tier banks and hedge funds.

What is slippage?

Are hedging and scalping allowed?

Hedging is allowed. The required margin for hedging positions on classic, pro, and VIP accounts is 0. Scalping is also allowed. There are no time limitations for keeping the positions open.

What are the minimum and maximum account leverage you offer?

The minimum leverage is 1:1. The maximum and default leverage is 1:500.

Metals: the leverage for gold is equal to the account leverage, while the leverage for silver is 4 times lower than the account leverage. If the trading account has a leverage of 1:500, then the leverage for gold will be 1:500 and the leverage for silver will be 1:125.

For more information about our leverage and margin requirements, click here.

What are your margin call/stop out levels?

Our margin call / stop out levels are 100% / 30%

Your account may be subject to a margin call if your account equity falls to a level that is equal to the margin of your existing positions. For example, you have an open position of 1 lot on EURUSD. The margin to hold that position is 200.

When you opened the account, you had a 400 EUR equity on your account. When the position starts to move against you and your account equity falls to 200 EUR, you will have a margin call. But your position will not be closed yet. When your account equity falls to 30% of the required margin, then the system starts to close your positions immediately.

Taking the above example, if you open a position with 200 EUR of margin and your account equity falls to 60 EUR, then the system starts to close your position. If you have several positions opened, then the system closes them starting from the one with the biggest loss.

If, while closing the positions, your account equity reaches a level of more than 50% of the required margin, all other positions will remain open.

What is your order execution speed?

Our average execution speed is around 0.20 seconds.

What are the minimum and maximum position sizes?

The minimum trade size is 0.01 lot and the maximum trade size is 100 lots. The maximum amount of orders you can open on an MT4 account is 200.

What is the commission on the VIP account?

On the VIP account, there is a commission of 1 currency unit per side per lot (0.0010% notional) in the base currency of the trading instrument.

For example, if you open 1 lot on EURUSD (1 lot = 100,000 EUR), then the commission is 1 EUR per side and 2 EUR per round turn.

For 1 lot on GBPUSD, the commission is 1 GBP per side and 2 GBP per round turn.

For 1 lot on AUDUSD, the commission is 1 AUD per side and 2 AUD per round turn.

If you have a USD account, then 2 EUR, 2 GBP and 2 AUD will be automatically converted to USD.

What is the commission on the pro account?

The pro account has a commission of 2 currency units per side per lot (0.0020% notional) in the base currency of the trading instrument.

For example, if you open 1 lot on EURUSD (1 lot = 100,000 EUR), then the commission is 2 EUR per side and 4 EUR per round turn.

For 1 lot on GBPUSD, the commission is 2 GBP per side and 4 GBP per round turn.

For 1 lot on AUDUSD, the commission is 2 AUD per side and 4 AUD per round turn.

If you have a USD account, then 4 EUR, 4 GBP and 4 AUD will be automatically converted to USD.

Is your platform compatible with mac?

Yes, tickmill provides you with a metatrader 4 platform for your mac that is almost identical to a regular windows application. Download it from our MT4 page by clicking here.

What is the margin call procedure for MT4?

Negative price movement can potentially lead to a margin call and the subsequent triggering of an automated margin close-out of positions. In the event that market conditions are unfavorable to you, we will set a stop-out level to reduce your maximum loss. This means that we will set a threshold of margin value, below which positions are automatically closed. This stop out is set at 30% of the margin

For example, based on a margin of 100, the position would be automatically closed if the net equity* reaches 30 or lower.

In a nutshell, once your account net equity drops below 100% of the initial margin required to establish the open position(s), the MT4 changes colour, to red, to indicate that you are close to or, on margin call. Once your account net equity drops below 30% of the margin requirements (depending on entity and client classification), it will close your trades one by one, starting with the trade with the biggest loss.

*net equity: defined as the sum of the client’s net profit and loss on an open position(s) and client’s deposited funds.

Do you offer swap-free accounts?

Yes, we offer muslim traders all our accounts with a swap-free option.

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.

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:

Customer funds are managed by barclays bank

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

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))

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.

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.

Questions and tips for your transactions:

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

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.

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.

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.

With tickmill you cannot lose more money than your deposit.

Tickmill service and support for traders

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.

Pepperstone offers two main account types designed for forex and CFD trading. A no-commission standard account and an ECN-style razor account.

Both standard and razor accounts are available as a live account or a risk-free demo account. Although pepperstone recommends a minimum deposit of $200 for both account types, no initial minimum deposit is enforced by the broker.

Standard account

With tight, commission-free spreads starting from 1.0 pip, pepperstone’s standard account is ideal for beginner traders wanting a simple pricing structure. While spreads are higher than the broker’s razor account, you do not need to perform complex fee calculations to work out commission costs, making it a great option if you are new to trading forex and cfds.

Razor account

The razor account is the broker’s ECN-like account type, designed for experienced traders, scalpers, day traders and automated trading strategies.
