Anyone unable to connect to ICM? Currently 81 people in the support queue - shan't be holding for that one!
Yeah ICMarkets got problems right now I can't connect either. Good thing my live account with them is just for monitoring other charts. I don't trade with them anymore.

I have doubt on your statement about ICM and i believe you have just made a new forum ID to troll this board.
People those who trades with IC Markets better knows that they never ReQuote the Price.

See ahmerkhan, that's my point about the reviews of any broker, including this one.

Illuminati says 'bad' whereas you say 'good'.

If anyone reads the whole thread there are countless other examples of good versus bad posts making it impossible to actually work out whether this broker (or any other broker on a different thread) is actually any good.

Therefore the only way to review a broker these days is basically to open an account and do the work yourself. And if you think about it, that's actually not a bad way to go.

I appreciate your comments but opening a Live account with multiple brokers will cost you money, Thats why people look into forums for the right broker.
You will see both positive and negative comments for each and every broker.

Most traders are beginners those who blame broker for their own mistakes.

What about opening a demo account then?

I opened one with IC Markets, spreads were excellent but their order entry procedure was messy in my opinion so I worked out they weren't for me. Plus, the ability not to be able to work stop limit orders didn't go down well. How any proper broker cannot offer them I do not know.

Whatever the case I still maintain that threads like this aren't that useful because if you read it you'll see some people bashing them, some praising them, so who to believe? I read the thread in full and was no wiser about the broker than before so I did the review myself.

PS. I'm not saying IC Markets isn't a good broker, it looks it to me but it's just not cup of tea.

BearBull here from DF. I use IC Markets and have never seen what you are referring to. They offer EURUSD at 0 / Zero Spreads most of the time. StopLevel of 0 / Zero Pips, which means you can place orders INSIDE the Spread. Fastest trade to trade order execution time I can find of around 0.3 to 0.4 sec from a net based laptop. VPS is faster again. This is not Ping time, which basically is only a small part of the overall Trade Execution time. Australian Regulated. Excellent support. Good Liquidity. Have discussed this with IC Markets people, who...
Ok I understand that they can make money from commissions by passing your orders to the market etc. But, lets say that you made good trades and a decent profit and wanted to make a withdrawl....the broker has made 10 dollars on commissions for your trades....say 100 dollars for ten trades....you have made 1000 dollars profit in your account from these trades.

Since they have "not been dealing against you" they have not hedged their risk...just passed orders on to market....so......the next step.....

You withdraw 1000 from IC markets....where is your money coming from....out of IC markets pocket....or has it come from the market into IC markets account. Guess that makes sense if it works like that. IC Markets actually wins by having this money come into their account as I am sure it sits somewhere getting interest, till people withdraw anyway.

Sort of a bit confusing....always wondered about it....if anyone could enlighten the fact?

{quote} out of IC markets pocket....or has it come from the market into IC markets account.
It will have come from the market into IC's account then into your sub account, then paid out to your bank (if you withdraw).

IC are just a broker they will look to make their money off commissions so the more clients they have and business they do the more IC will make less expenses.
