Real time news is a must have. I am using Oanda's feed that I still have access to. You get the number immediately and whenever price spikes you always know what caused it so you can make an informed choice whether or not to fade

As much as I love trading with IC, definetly the best broker I have known so far, commission costs are killing me as a scalper. The majority of my hard earned profit goes to the broker so I must do anything and everything I can to reduce costs. IC Markets is the result of a long search in an effort to do just that

I could trade with a larger stop and target, and I plan to add more of those trades to reduce the cost burden as I currently pay more to my broker than I make myself. I really dont think they are doing anything like the work or taking anything like the risk I am for their cut. Consequently I am still searching for something better.

Another false alarm this week when I saw Admiral Markets advertising $4usd/rtl. I had already packed my bags when I found there spread at 0.8! - I can get a fixed spread at that. Same old story, cheap commission equals higher spread

IC Markets still number one

I had a 5.50 direct deal with ICMarkets based on a 10k account balance. I drewdown more than I was happy with initially so I pulled out most of the funds leaving only 1k to trade with. I had not traded live for 12 months and I needed time to get used to it again. This meant I had to pay the full $7.00 again. I didnt worry about it cause the account was so small but I noticed I was turning over a fair volume for the account size and that the IB discount was really worth having. I signed up with Kyle Cancilla aka Layzars and I now pay just $5.50 again. Thats as good as it gets anywhere and combined with ICMarkets spread, makes them the cheapest around till you get upto a 50k account size. Its not the commision structure thats the problem - its my trading technique that costs so much, I dont think its fair but there is not much I can do about it except have a rant here to get it off my chest and keep searching for a better deal so I can keep trading the way that works best for me

Appreciate the shoutout Doug!

I am currently in talks with Angus to investigate the possibility of providing a real time news feed of IC Markets clients given the demand for this feature; hopefully something will materialize.

In addition to the already existing Deposit option, Neteller Withdrawals are now officially available with IC Markets, just checked the update in their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/icmarkets. Also confirmed the same with their support.

Hi traders,

I'm quite unhappy with my current broker because I often don't get filled and the platform is slow. Now I've read a bit about IC Markets and I like the fact that it's an ECN. Now my question:

With the True ECN Account I can only trade via MT4? Which means I have to let my computer run all the time?

And with the cTrader-Account I can place orders and don't have to let the computer run all the time?


I'm not a daytrader so I don't care that much about 0.5 pip spread differences between the two.

Yes you can use MT4 with True ECN. Both MT4 and cTrader need to be running if you have an EA working or if you have a trailing stop loss. With your current broker you don't get filled, with an ECN you will get slippage, so you need to work out which is worse for you (although you also get positive slippage with ICM).

PS> You can also limit your slippage by choosing your market range. So for example you can choose to only slip a maximum of 5 pips or don't get filled.

You can turn off your computer using MT4 because after you place the order it goes to the ic markets servers.

Unless you use a custom EA to place orders that hides the orders from your broker.

If you have doubts contact the ic markets support, you can chat with them in there site.

There is unfortunately a misconception regarding most ECN brokers using Metatrader and the slippage parameter. Using Metatrader with an ECN broker that uses a bridge to the LPs, once an order hits the bridge, regardless of whether it is a market, limit or stop order, it can theoretically get slipped any number of pips, depending on what bid/ask that are available from the LPs at that given moment. It does not matter what you set the slippage parameter to. You can test it for yourself by setting the slippage parameter to different numbers e.g. 0. I have also confirmed this with IC Markets support desk.

All that said, I like and use IC Markets as a broker. But like most Metatrader "ECNs", it is not a true ECN like MB Trading (personal experience) or FX Open (from what I have read).

IC Markets has the lowest spread I have ever seen in this industry. you can also apply over IB that will give you around %50 discount with commission.
Average Spreads in pips
EURUSD 0.11
USDJPY 0.25
GBPUSD 0.55

I can advise working with this broker.

trading with almost 6 months live, good execution speed. ( I do record everything so information here I post are real time logged data )
Slippage is the issue of all ECN brokers. NO REQUOTE means SLIPPAGE. Market order execution you can NOT limit that. suffer with what you got.
if you want to limit slippage you should move to Instant Order execution broker. not much of those but you can limit the max slippage with NO REQUOTE. its up to your setup.

Last word : Dont expect broker using ECN bridge for 0.01 lot trades. if you want to trade real ECN you should go bigger.

PS : I have no commercial relation with broker. decision is yours with your own risk.
