Then chances are Cmembers can't say sh*t, keep it here.

Does anyone know if the ICM live servers have a better latency than the demo servers? I've been on a demo server for a while now and average about 250ms as it's based in New York, I'm in Australia.

Thanks

Well even if u get low latency VPS for Icmarkets your execution speed will be bad the time of any news they make the server lag or something so most of the times u cant open trades or close trade and it get very bad execution today i Shorted NZDUSD since the big new was going to come and what happened is i was not able to close my trades and my account went on Minus for the stupid reason because icmarkets was freeze and this is normal to them
so becareful dealing with Icmarkets

Generally speaking, You get average 100ms- to 250ms connectivity time which is enough for normal trading and can be improved by using a good VPS Service.
Your account went to minus because you were gambling not trading.

Damn.
Was considering to join this broker due to low spreads,ctrader and 500 leverage to test a strategy but couldn't find a single decent review.

All the good bs is from the interducing brokers and members with very few posts

This is the best you can get on the market mate , trust me

lol, sure, few guys using it

Whether icmarkets protect balance what's happened 7 october with gbp crash, somebody have a negative balance?

There are many ways to control RISK yourself in Forex Market.

1) Set low leverage 1:100
2) Use STOP Loss
3) Trade with small lots (0.5% to 1% risk per trade)

Best so far.....

The US election is set to begin tomorrow, Tuesday the 8th November. This is the most important market event since Brexit and the potential impact on markets is significant.

The consensus

A Clinton win means certainty and generally a risk on attitude in markets, equities higher, USD stronger and a rate rise in December, i.e. the status quo continues..

A Trump win will mean uncertainty and a risk off attitude in markets, higher volatility, equities lower, USD weaker and a temporary hold on future rate rises in the US.

Voting and results schedule (platform time GMT +2)

Tuesday 8th November

1. 07:00 Voting begins

How to prepare

Clients are advised to use extreme caution for the duration of the US election. The election has the potential for high volatility as the market prices in the results throughout the day.

Increase capitalisation Top up your funds in case margins are increased on products that you are trading and to prepare for the higher volatility.

Decrease exposure Periods of heightened volatility demand lower exposure. Lower exposure will allow positions to move more out of the money without exceeding your defined risk limits. Also consider further limiting exposure to or ceasing trading on products that will be most affected by the election.

Use stop losses and wider stops Using stops in the markets has never been more crucial. Unexpected moves are likely during the election, so make sure to protect positions with fixed stop losses.

Hedged accounts Traders who have hedged positions (long and short the same product) should be wary that wide spreads may result in a margin call and or stop out.

Has your broker reduced your leverage and widened spread for the US Election? Not good. Try IC Markets

May I ask, why are IBs the only one supporting and commenting on this thread? Shouldn't one of ICM's representatives do their jobs here or am I wrong?

I don't think I can trust IBs because all they do is just try and make me deposit in this broker under their name.

AFAIK ICMarkets has no rep on this forum...not sure why not.
IBs are generally useless, all "offer" the same discount for this broker basicly, and non has much to offer beyond their link for your benefit.

As for ICMarkets, it works just fine for me generally.

New Product Releases, PDS and Account Terms

Dear Trader,

IC Markets is pleased to announce the release of new Precious Metals, Soft Commodities and Energies products to its MT4 platform. The new products increase our range and give you a total of 92 different markets to trade.

IC Markets is committed to adding new markets that you want to trade and continuing to meet your needs as a trader. The new additions include:

 

1. WTI Crude Oil (XTIUSD), Brent Crude Oil (XBRUSD) and Natural Gas (XNGUSD)

Were very excited about the XTI and XBR Energy products since they behave like our WTI and BRENT CFDs, however, they dont expire! This means trades in these products can be open indefinitely, the same as with our FX and Indices CFDs products. Were sure many clients will appreciate this feature of them.

Precious Metals:

1. Platinum (XPTUSD) and Palladium (XDPUSD)

XPT and XPD have the same trading conditions as XAU and round off our precious metals offering. XPD has been trending higher in 2016 and is up almost 60%. Its also continued to move higher over the last week while XAU has been falling.

Soft Commodities:

1. Sugar, Coffee, Corn, Wheat and Soybean

By popular demand, were happy to offer the soft commodities for traders. These products can really trend and will complement any trend/swing traders suite of products.
