CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 73% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

I've spent more than two decades trading forex and reviewing brokers, and the past few months I've put considerable time into testing Tickmill across its proprietary Tickmill Trader web and mobile apps, the full MetaTrader suite, and TradingView. I measured EUR/USD spreads on both account types, worked through the order ticket, and benchmarked the lineup against other competitors I reviewed this year.

In my view, Tickmill is best suited for cost-conscious forex and CFD traders, particularly those running algorithmic strategies. Pricing on its commission-based Raw account is among the more competitive I tested this cycle, and the MetaTrader suite gives algo traders the tooling they expect. Where it falls short is its range of assets. The 62-pair forex lineup and 637 tradeable symbols trail the multi-asset leaders, and its research tools feel scattered rather than cohesive.

Overall, active and algo-focused traders will find Tickmill well-equipped. If you want access to wide multi-asset markets or deeper research, I'd spend time looking into larger global brokers like Saxo or IG.

Is Tickmill safe?

Trust Score

Tickmill is considered Trusted, with an overall Trust Score of 85 out of 99. Tickmill is not publicly traded and does not operate a bank, but is authorised by two Tier-1 regulators (Highly Trusted), two Tier-2 regulators (Trusted), zero Tier-3 regulator (Average Risk), and one Tier-4 regulators (High Risk). Tickmill is authorised by the following Tier-1 regulators: Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), and regulated in the European Union via the MiFID passporting system. Platform, product, and leverage availability vary by entity, so it is worth confirming where each Tickmill entity is regulated before opening an account.

Range of investments

Across Tickmill's account offerings, I counted 62 forex pairs and 637 tradeable symbols in total, covering the major and minor currency pairs, index CFDs on benchmarks like the S&P 500 and DAX, commodity CFDs spanning gold, oil, silver, and agriculturals, and a set of thematic index CFDs. It is a practical range for a forex-first trader, but it trails the largest multi-asset brokers I review, several of which list well over 100 currency pairs alone.

Stocks and ETFs: Traditional stock and ETF investing is not part of the offering at Tickmill. You can trade U.S. share CFDs, with roughly 500 stock CFDs available on MetaTrader 5, but there is no physical share ownership and no ETF CFDs. For traders who want to hold equities directly, this is a real gap.

Cryptocurrency: There are 15 crypto CFDs, a small but growing lineup that mixes established coins with a few meme tokens. Crypto is offered as a CFD only, never as the underlying asset, and crypto CFDs are not available to retail traders from any broker's U.K. entity due to regulation.

Futures and options: Exchange-traded futures and options are available, but only through Tickmill's U.K. entity and its CQG and Agena Trader platforms, which provide access to CME Group products. If you are outside the U.K., this part of the catalog will not be available to you.

Leverage: Maximum leverage depends on your country of residence, the Tickmill entity that holds your account, and whether you are classified as a retail or professional trader. At the extreme, on its Seychelles entity, it can reach 1000:1 for certain forex pairs, which I would not recommend under any circumstances, since losses can mount quickly at that level.

Tickmill fees

Tickmill competes hard on price, and for cost-focused traders that is the main reason to put it on a shortlist. The structure is refreshingly simple: two retail accounts, the Classic and the Raw, each with a low $100 minimum deposit. The difference between them is entirely about how you pay to trade.

The Classic account is spread-only. It charges no commission, so your whole cost sits in the spread, which averaged 1.7 pips on EUR/USD during testing, higher than the tightest pricing I see elsewhere. The Raw account flips the model: spreads track far closer to the underlying market, and you pay a transparent $3 per side, or $6 per round turn, per standard lot. For anyone trading with any regularity, the Raw account works out cheaper once spread and commission are totaled together.

TradingView pricing: A dedicated TradingView Raw account is available for traders who prefer to work inside the TradingView platform. Its pricing mirrors the standard Raw account, with a slightly higher commission of $3.50 per side, or $7 per round turn, per standard lot.

The discontinued VIP tier: The VIP account is gone. It previously required a $50,000 deposit and brought commissions down to $1 per side. I was disappointed to see it retired. The broker remains competitively priced, but its very highest-volume traders have lost their best tier.

Non-trading costs: Non-trading fees are light. There is no inactivity fee and no charge on inbound international wires. Tickmill also offers an Islamic, swap-free account for traders who need a Sharia-compliant setup, and a professional account, which is more of a regulatory classification: it removes regional leverage caps in exchange for giving up retail trader protections.

Trading fees

In our live pricing analysis, we recorded an average EUR/USD spread of 1.7 pips on the commission-free Classic account, while the Raw account trades that wider spread for tighter pricing plus a $3-per-side commission.

Mobile trading apps

I spent considerable time in Tickmill Trader, the broker's proprietary mobile app powered by DXtrade, and came away with a generally positive read. One caveat up front: the app is offered through Tickmill's Seychelles entity, so availability depends on your country of residence. The MetaTrader 4 and 5 apps are the global alternatives.

Tickmill's MT5 mobile app charts with multi-time-frame charting and technical indicators.

Navigation: The layout is modern and quick to learn. Five tabs sit along the bottom, Home, Watchlists, Portfolio, Search, and a menu, and moving between them is fast. One-tap trading is not available. Placing an order takes two taps from a chart or three from a watchlist. There is little to personalize beyond a short settings menu covering password, history, and statements.

Charting via TradingView: Charts are powered by TradingView, with 97 indicators and dozens of drawing tools, including five Elliott wave patterns, channels, pitchforks, and Fibonacci levels. The catch is timeframes. Only 10 are available, with intervals like the 10-minute and sub-minute options greyed out. Chart drawings and trendlines do not sync across devices, though custom watchlists do.

Order management: The order ticket is clean and not overloaded. I liked being able to toggle stop-loss and take-profit levels on with a single tap and switch order types in two. OCO orders are supported, but trailing stops are not, and the app shows no risk-reward ratio. Price alerts are also missing, which is a drawbackx for anyone managing positions on the move.

Discovery: This is where the app feels thin. There are no built-in screeners and no volatility tools, and the search bar is basic, with no smart matching for common symbols, though it does keep recent searches. Public watchlists are available, but copying one into your own list is clumsy. For instance, I copied the Top 50 list and the app renamed it Top 51.

Special tools: There are no AI features, and performance analytics are web-only. You cannot switch between demo and live accounts inside the app, but each needs separate credentials from the client portal. Copy trading runs through Tickmill Social, which is mobile-responsive on the web but has no dedicated app.

Available mobile platforms and tools

In our hands-on testing, we found 97 built-in charting indicators in the Tickmill Trader app alongside TradingView-powered charts, though price alerts and in-app performance analytics are absent.

Trading platforms

Tickmill gives you a real choice of platforms. The proprietary Tickmill Trader runs in the browser, powered by DXtrade. The full MetaTrader suite, MT4 and MT5, is available globally, and TradingView is offered as a standalone platform in select regions. U.K. traders also get specialty futures and options platforms, including CQG, Agena Trader, and Trading Technologies' TT. There is no proprietary desktop app, and cTrader is not offered.

Tickmill Trader: I was impressed by how modular this platform is. You can build custom workspaces, pick the widgets for each, resize them, and detach windows for a multi-monitor setup, then save the layout. The feature I was most pleased to find is module linking. I was able to connect a watchlist widget to a chart, and the chart updated every time I clicked a different symbol. It takes time to learn, but the payoff is worth it.

Proprietary trading platform, Tickmill Trader

A trade ticket in the proprietary Tickmill Trader platform, with stop loss and take profit both enabled.

Charting and order management: The charts carry 97 indicators and over a dozen drawing tools, with clean Fibonacci defaults. Trading from the chart is supported. It takes one extra click to attach a stop-loss or take-profit, after which you can drag each to a price level. Timeframes are limited, with just 9 granularities and only two intraday hourly options. OCO orders are available in the trade ticket, but trailing stops are not. I also ran into a bug where indicators would not render on the chart despite correct settings.

Drag-to-modify on charts in Tickmill Trader.

The broker's web platform, Tickmill Trader, supports drag-to-modify trading functionality on its charts.

Tools for advanced traders: Tickmill leans toward serious traders. Algo trading is supported through MetaTrader, FX Blue powers an Advanced Trading Toolkit of plugins, and the broker partners with BeeksFX for VPS hosting at a 20% discount. There is no public API, though Tickmill integrates with nine specialty providers such as MultiCharts, MotiveWave, and Sierra Chart. Backtesting and a manual trading journal are absent from Tickmill Trader, but its Trading Dashboard reports performance metrics like holding times and overall return.

Steven's take

Tickmill has done a nice job building out its copy trading offering, inching closer to the leaders in this category. While it bridges both MT4 and MT5, MT4 followers are essentially locked out if a provider starts trading CFD stocks, since those positions execute only on MT5.

Steven Hatzakis
Director of Online Broker Research

MetaTrader: The MetaTrader build is the standard release, branded with Tickmill's logo on the installer. MT5 carries the wider market range, including around 500 stock CFDs, while MT4 is more limited. Both run on the Classic and Raw accounts, and the FX Blue and Acuity plugins add a useful layer over the default experience.

Available trading platforms and features

Research

Research at Tickmill is a story of strong tools paired with thin in-house content. The proprietary Tickmill Trader platform carries no news headlines, which puts it behind the MetaTrader and TradingView options, but the broker makes up ground with a solid set of third-party tools and calendars.

Calendars and data: The economic calendar, powered by Acuity, is one of the better ones I have used, with impact severity, forecast-versus-actual figures, country flags, and filtering. The same engine drives a corporate calendar covering earnings, dividends, stock splits, IPOs, and M&A, complete with earnings history and surprise data. Macro reports and financial statement data, however, are not available.

Market analysis: Tickmill's analysts publish daily commentary on the blog, and there is a weekly market video hosted by Patrick Munnelly. The Institutional Insights series, which draws on outlooks from banks like Goldman Sachs, adds a perspective I rarely see from a broker, though some articles rendered as raw markdown rather than clean text. The video analysis is competent but plain, and is mostly a screen-share with no presenter overlay.

Homepage of the Tickmill research portal.

The "Expert Blog" section of the Tickmill website contains daily articles with expert analysis.

Signals and sentiment: Trading signals are a highlight. Tickmill includes the Signal Centre module from Acuity in its client portal. The underlying provider, PIA First, is an established, FCA-regulated signals firm. Sentiment data is available through TradingView's native platform and an Acuity widget, although Tickmill does not publish its own percentage of clients long or short an asset, which the best brokers often do.

What is missing: Autochartist, Trading Central, and TipRanks are all absent. Several content series have also gone quiet. Livestreams have not resumed in more than 10 months, and the Bright Minds and T-Show podcasts seem to be discontinued, with the more recent Trader's Clinic not updated in seven months.

Education

Tickmill's education has a solid foundation, but it is scattered across the broker's websites, and which pieces you can see may depend on your region.

Structured courses: The clearest highlight is a set of three courses run with the London Stock Exchange and Knightsbridge Trading Academy. There is a beginner introduction, an intermediate master trader program, and an advanced track, amounting to 28 hours in total with quizzes built in. They are CPD-accredited and free with an active live account, and I found them well-built. Beyond these, structured courses are thin, which leaves Tickmill behind peers that offer multi-asset curricula with progress tracking.

Videos and the Education Hub: The Education Hub centers on futures and options, with CME Group content organized into video playlists. Short explainer videos on the main website are basic and are closer to a quick cartoon overview than a deep dive. The YouTube channel is where the real depth sits with a large archive of quality videos going back more than a decade, spread across regional and language-specific channels.

Tickmill education videos YouTube The T Show playlist.

In-platform guidance: Contextual education is light. There are no tooltips in the trade ticket, though clear error messages will nudge you to correct an invalid stop-loss or an oversized order, and every watchlist row carries a short description of the instrument. For example, you learn that the US30 tracks the Dow Jones Industrial Average by reading the symbol description.

Where it falls short: The biggest gap is written education. Tickmill's in-house analysts, including Patrick Munnelly, James Harte, and Desmond Leong, write extensively, but their work sits in market analysis rather than teaching material. Platform tutorials exist for MetaTrader and Tickmill Trader across iOS, Android, and web, yet they are short and scattered across the site rather than collected in one place. There is also no education section in the mobile app.

Available educational offerings

We found weekly webinars, a deep YouTube video archive, and three CPD-accredited courses produced with the London Stock Exchange; a structured, in-app learning path remains missing.

Final thoughts

Tickmill makes the most sense for one kind of trader: the cost-focused, active forex and CFD trader who lives in MetaTrader. If that is you, the Raw account's low all-in pricing, the full MT4 and MT5 toolkit, FX Blue add-ons, and discounted VPS hosting add up to a strong package. For these reasons, Tickmill placed among our top brokers for MetaTrader and algorithmic trading in our 2026 Annual Awards.

What keeps it out of the top tier is reach. The range of investments is modest, with no real way to own stocks or ETFs. Additionally, research leans on third-party tools while its own content has thinned. Education, though improving, is scattered. If low costs and a serious algo setup are your priorities, Tickmill earns a close look. But if you want a broad multi-asset menu, polished research, or a structured learning path, I would compare its offering to our list of the best brokers before committing.

FAQs

What is the difference between Tickmill's Raw and Classic accounts?

The main difference between Tickmill’s Raw and Classic accounts lies in pricing structure and spreads. The Raw account is ideal for traders seeking lower spreads and is structured with a commission. Traders pay $6 per standard lot ($3 per side) and benefit from highly competitive spreads, such as 0.10 pips on EUR/USD based on August 2025 average spread data. After factoring in the commission, the all-in cost for EUR/USD is about 0.70 pips, which is still quite low compared to industry standards.

In contrast, the Classic account is commission-free, but traders face much higher spreads, averaging 1.70 pips. This makes the Classic account more suitable for traders who prefer simplicity, without needing to factor in commissions. However, active traders will find the Raw account’s lower total trading cost a much better deal.

A separate TradingView Raw account carries a slightly higher $3.50-per-side commission for use on the TradingView platform.

Does Tickmill offer copy trading?

Yes. Tickmill offers copy trading through Tickmill Social, its in-house platform, which is available to live account holders in select regions. It lets you filter strategy providers by metrics such as total profit, number of followers, and one-year return, and review a provider's full track record before copying. Tickmill Social is web-based and mobile-responsive, but there is no dedicated copy trading app.

How do you withdraw money from Tickmill?

Tickmill supports withdrawals through bank wire, debit and credit cards, and e-wallets including PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller, as well as cryptocurrency transfers. It does not charge a fee on inbound international wires, and there is no inactivity fee. Withdrawal methods and processing times can vary by region and by the Tickmill entity that holds your account.
