Our notes

Strengths
  • 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
  • Low entry point, with a Standard account from $1 (most payment methods need at least $15)
  • Publishes margin call and stop-out levels and lists negative balance protection on every account
  • Choice of MetaTrader 5 and cTrader
Watch out for
  • 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)
  • Says it operates under FSC Mauritius; we could not find any Vittaverse company on the FSC Mauritius register on 2026-10-20, and the site gives no licence number
  • The client agreement is with Vittaverse Ltd, registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines (26879 BC 2022); that is a company registration, not a licence
  • No licence from any regulator that we could confirm
  • Leverage up to 1:2000 and deposit bonuses on the Standard account

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:

  • 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.
  • Vittaverse: Trading in financial products involves a high degree of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leveraged trading can amplify both gains and losses. You may lose some or all of your invested capital, and in certain circumstances, losses may exceed your initial deposit. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Please ensure you fully understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

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.
