I think that they charge $20 for international wire transfers outside Australia. I'm in Australia so all withdrawals are free for me.
Thanks johnrambofx

Do you know if they charge for moneybookers deposits?, I deal with another broker also and they charge 2.8%.

I have no idea what moneybookers costs, I have never used this funding method. You need to ask IC Markets this.

They said it was 2.8% for deposits and free for withdrawals. I think credit card is a cheaper option.

I've gone away from ICMarkets because, their promisses about spreads are absolutly fantaisists, GBP/CHF untils 5, 7 even 9 pips during asian sessions. They also have curious spikes.

When I 've created my trading account , they lost my time during 1 month before I can access finally to my MT4. I was furious again their service, they beleived that I tell them false deposit.

Now, I 've left them to go to RVDMarkets. All is OK and quickly by them.

All comes from my own personal experience.

Ah yes they must have some CLOWN working in their accounts dept because
my deposit was mixed up with someone else's and it took them about a week to figure it out.
I guess the other customer was looking for his money in that period....

Curious spikes? I know their demo charts are not reliable but I haven't seen anything strange in the live system.
There are times where the spread is higher but during those times it is similar to the other 2 brokers I use.

Look, no broker is perfect and this applies to ICM so if they suit you that's fine, if they don't you try someone else.
In general ICM have low spreads and your money is relatively safe (kept in Australia)
and they have the mini trading terminal which I like (good for breakouts and pending trades).
Have a nice day

IC Markets have the best spreads in the market at the moment I have been with them for some time now and I did my spread research on myfxbook and fxintel before joining. They are also ASIC regulated unlike the broker you mention. They are by far the best broker for EA trading. No problems with deposits or withdrawals either.

I should add that the HFT discount gives me commission if $5.50 per lot r/t on MT4 and $35 per mill on ctrader. Not a bad deal.
How did you find them? Do they have a website?

I found a thread in the commercial forum but it does not have any information on how I can sign up to their service.

They don't have their own anymore but you can use the standard metatrader app.
I use the same app for 2 brokers but it will work with most brokers.
I haven't received a Margin call but in my early days I think I was getting a margin call when the margin fell to 80%
ICM state in their PDS that they will close out a position at 50%

They don't have a website but send an email to John with your ICM account details and he'll add you to the group.

Hi everyone

I've just changed to IC markets. Mainly because their spreads are great. Especially on GBPNZD which is my favourite trading pair (can move 100 pips in a hour!)

I use Moneybookers for depositing and withdrawing

Had no problem - very quick and easy.

Sorry but this broker does not have a website? Come on, this has to be the first time I have come across a broker who does not have a website..
That and the fact they do end up mixing account funds is making me think of a "broker moonlighting as a legit broker"

They do have a website, its www.icmarkets.com. I know in other forums the are just referred to as ICM hence the confusion.

forexnuts read the posts carefully and use google as your search engine.
We didn't write that ICMarkets doesn't have a website, we were talking about the HFT group
