Trustworthiness & Regulation

IC Markets is a well-established broker, founded in 2007, and has grown to become one of the leading brokers in the industry. It is regulated by multiple authorities including ASIC in Australia, CYSEC in Cyprus, and FSA in Seychelles. IC Markets has received 675 user reviews, with 629 from verified real trading accounts, and boasts an impressive rating of 4.8 out of 5. It ranks first among 1103 forex brokers based on user ratings and expert analysis. Additionally, IC Markets receives significant web traffic, with 3,059,000 organic monthly visits, ranking it 13th out of 1103 forex brokers for organic traffic.

Despite its robust regulatory framework and high user ratings, it is essential to remember that even highly regulated and successful financial firms have failed in the past. Therefore, while IC Markets appears trustworthy and popular, investors should always exercise caution.

Deposit Insurance

IC Markets supports investor compensation programs as part of its regulatory frameworks. Under CYSEC regulation, clients are eligible for compensation of up to €20,000 in the event the firm fails. However, there is no deposit compensation scheme for clients under ASIC and FSA regulations. It is crucial for traders to understand the protection offered by their chosen regulatory jurisdiction.

Spreads and Costs

IC Markets offers competitive spreads across various asset classes. Compared to other market-leading brokers, IC Markets provides low spreads on forex and commodities, while its spreads on indices and cryptocurrencies are generally in line with industry averages.

Combined Spread/Commission Costs by Asset Class Compared to Market Leading Brokers

Crypto averages comprise (BTCUSD, ETHUSD), forex averages comprise (EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDNZD, CADCHF), indices averages comprise (US30, AUS200), and commodities average comprises (XAUUSD, XAGUSD). Data is sampled every 10 seconds for 24 hours to calculate the average. Forex is stated in pips, and the others are stated in base currency. All spreads including both spread and commission calculated in.

Our data comes from our sophisticated spread analyzer tool, which collects live account information and syncs with our performance analytics system. To compare all brokers and instruments with the latest live data, visit our spread analyzer tool. A spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an asset and can vary widely between brokers and account types. Some brokers charge higher spreads but no commission, while others charge both, making it crucial to assess the total cost, which includes both spread and commission. Our values reflect this all-in cost. Note that some brokers may set low costs on popular pairs like EURUSD but higher rates on other instruments. Many brokers also advertise "as low as" spreads that may not reflect the true average or include commissions. Comparing true all-in cost averages across various instruments and asset classes is vital for accurate assessment.

Swap Rates/Financing Fees

Swap fees, also known as financing fees, are the cost of holding a trading position overnight. Positive swap rates pay out money, while negative swap rates incur a cost. IC Markets has some of the most competitive swap rates in the industry. Its average swap rate is lower compared to most market-leading brokers, making it a cost-effective choice for traders who hold positions overnight.

Does IC Markets Offer Islamic/Swap-free Accounts?

Islamic accounts, also known as swap-free accounts, are designed for traders who cannot earn or pay interest due to religious reasons. IC Markets offers swap-free Islamic accounts to its clients. These accounts do not incur swap or rollover charges on overnight positions. To be eligible for an Islamic account, clients must adhere to Islamic law, and the broker may require proof of religious affiliation. Traders can request an Islamic account by contacting IC Markets' customer support.

Other Fees

In addition to spreads and swap rates, IC Markets charges other fees that traders should be aware of:

Comparison to other Brokers

IC Markets stands out among industry-leading brokers due to its high user ratings, competitive spreads, and extensive regulatory oversight. Compared to brokers like Axi, XM, FxPro, and Pepperstone, IC Markets offers lower average spreads and swap rates. Its well-established presence since 2007 and high organic web traffic further highlight its popularity and trustworthiness. However, it lacks the financial transparency of publicly traded companies and offers limited leverage under some regulatory jurisdictions.

What Can you Trade?

IC Markets offers a wide range of tradable instruments, including CFDs on forex, cryptocurrencies, stocks, stock indices, commodities, bonds, and futures. Traders can access detailed information on available instruments on IC Markets' trading products page.

Trading CFDs or derivatives means you do not own the underlying asset, but instead speculate on its price movement. This allows for leveraged trading, where you can control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. While leverage can amplify gains, it also increases the risk of significant losses.

Trading Platforms - Mobile, Desktop, Automated

IC Markets offers the popular MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms for desktop, mobile, and web trading. These platforms are known for their advanced charting tools, extensive range of indicators, and support for automated trading through Expert Advisors (EAs). MT4 and MT5 use the MQL programming language, which is relatively easy to learn and allows traders to create custom indicators and automated trading strategies.

Additionally, IC Markets supports automated trading, which enables traders to execute trades based on predefined criteria without manual intervention. This feature is particularly beneficial for those who use complex trading strategies and want to take advantage of market opportunities around the clock.

Available Leverage

IC Markets offers varying leverage levels depending on the regulatory jurisdiction and the type of instrument traded. Under ASIC and CYSEC regulations, the maximum leverage for retail clients is 30:1, while under FSA regulation in Seychelles, leverage can go up to 500:1. This flexibility allows traders to choose the leverage that best suits their risk tolerance and trading strategy.

Prohibited Countries

IC Markets cannot open client accounts for residents of the United States, Canada, Israel, Iran, and some other countries due to regulatory restrictions. For a full list of prohibited countries, traders should refer to the broker's website or contact customer support.
