Tickmill Review

Thinking about trading with Tickmill in 2025? Let's see what real traders are saying. Here, we'll dig into user feedback, check out their pricing (spreads, commissions and swaps), and take a look at how Tickmill is regulated.

Live Spreads: the ECN PRO Account Shines

When you trade, the spread, or the difference between the buy and sell price, is a primary cost. Some accounts might also charge an additional commission fee per trade. Tickmill is widely recognised for offering tight spreads, especially on popular markets like major forex pairs and gold. We verify this by analysing the total transaction cost (spread combined with commission) using data pulled directly from live accounts over time.

Our findings consistently show that Tickmill is very competitive on pricing compared to its peers. If you want to compare Tickmill directly with other brokers or look at specific instruments not shown, use the orange "Edit" button. Remember, minimising these trading costs directly impacts your bottom line and potential profitability.

Tickmill demonstrates a strong commitment to regulatory compliance by operating under licenses from multiple authorities across the globe. This includes major financial centres like the United Kingdom (FCA) and Cyprus (CySEC), as well as South Africa (FSCA), the United Arab Emirates (DFSA), and Seychelles (FSA). This multi-jurisdictional approach ensures adherence to various international standards.

Prospective clients should also note that the maximum leverage available differs substantially based on the regulatory entity, ranging from 30:1 in the UK/Cyprus up to 1000:1 in Seychelles. Always verify which entity and regulation governs your specific account.

Available Assets: Several ETFs and Bonds Available for Trading

Tickmill provides traders with access to a comprehensive selection of markets. Naturally, this includes a solid lineup of forex pairs along with CFDs covering global indices, metals, energies such as oil, government bonds, a selection of ETFs and company stocks, and several major cryptos.

You can explore the full, up-to-date list using the live symbol search tool above, which pulls its information directly from active trading accounts. It's worth noting that these instruments are traded as CFDs (Contracts for Difference). This means you're speculating on price changes rather than taking ownership of the actual asset. CFDs offer the potential advantage of leverage, allowing you to control a larger position with less capital, but this also significantly magnifies the potential risks involved.

Live Swap Rates: Attractive Overnight Swap Fees

The data for the table above is taken from live accounts using our swap rate analyser tool. To compare the swap rates of other brokers and/or symbols than the ones shown, click the orange edit button. Swap rates, also known as rollover fees, are charged by brokers for holding positions overnight.

These fees can either be positive or negative. Positive swap rates pay out to the trader, while negative swap rates incur a cost to the trader. Tickmill charges triple on Wednesdays to cover weekend swap fees.

Trading Platforms: MT4 and MT5 Available

Selecting the right trading software is vital. Tickmill provides access to the globally recognised MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms, available for desktop and mobile. The table above outlines the key advantages and disadvantages of each to help you choose.

Deposits/Withdrawals: Multiple Methods, Crypto Available

Tickmill offers a variety of ways to fund your account and make withdrawals, including traditional bank wires, major credit/debit cards, popular e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, and even cryptocurrencies depending on your region and the Tickmill entity. The table above provides a general guide to processing times (typically for deposits), available base account currencies, and fees.

Tickmill generally doesn't charge deposit or withdrawal fees, but it's crucial to remember that intermediary banks or your payment provider might impose their own charges. Always check Tickmill's official site for the most current methods and details specific to your location.
