Our notes

Strengths
  • UK company authorised by the FCA and EU company licensed by CySEC, both strict regulators
  • Client money held in segregated accounts, with negative balance protection for all clients
  • Raw+ account costs about $9.60 per lot on EUR/USD, against about $14.90 on Standard
  • UK and EU companies licensed by the FCA (717270) and CySEC (278/15), with FSCS and ICF cover for eligible clients
  • Raw account with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $3 commission per lot per side
  • No withdrawal fees from Tickmill and a $100 minimum deposit on Classic and Raw
Watch out for
  • Clients outside the UK and EU usually join the Bahamas company, with lighter rules and no FSCS or ICF cover
  • Leverage at the Bahamas company is dynamic with no fixed cap on major pairs, which magnifies losses
  • Live accounts are disabled after 3 months of inactivity
  • Clients of the global site join Tickmill Ltd, which holds only an offshore licence from the FSA Seychelles
  • The global site's risk warning says losses can exceed the initial investment; negative balance protection is a rule for UK and EU retail clients, not stated for the Seychelles company
  • The FCA has warned about clone firms using Tickmill UK's details (FX Profit Broker / FXPB / Armada Markets UK LTD and FxoptionTrade Limited)

Risk warnings

The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:

  • FxPro: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Please ensure you fully understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
  • Tickmill: Risk Warning: Trading financial products on margin carries a high degree of risk and is not suitable for all investors. Losses can exceed the initial investment. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take appropriate care to manage your risk.

Other head-to-head pages

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
