IC Markets

I've traded with IC Markets on the Raw Spread setup and it's been a clean experience for cost and execution. Spreads are usually tight during liquid sessions, and the pricing is easy to understand. Platform options are solid, so you can stick with what you already know. I'm process focused, so I like anything that stays straightforward and predictable.

The IC Markets Global platform supports scalping and trading advisors. I opened a Raw Spread account, with a $7 commission per lot and truly minimal spreads. With a $1,000 deposit, I earned $165 in a month trading currencies and metals. I used the free VPS — robots worked steadily, and I didn't notice any critical drawdowns. Analytics and risk calculators are available for all instruments.

What impressed me about IC Markets Global is their protection system: there is negative balance protection, major liquidity providers, and regulation by ASIC, CySEC, and FSA. I traded with $600 on a Standard account, mainly using currency pairs and bonds, and earned $139 in a month. The loyalty program works reliably, with bonuses for referrals. I opened my account in dollars, but there's a choice of eight currencies.

A major advantage of IC Markets Global is the ability to trade with leverage of up to 1:500, which allows flexible risk management and testing of different strategies. With a $250 account, I traded NASDAQ and silver CFDs, earning $51 in two weeks. Deposits and withdrawals are processed without broker fees, and all transactions were completed within 24 hours. Market execution is provided, with almost no slippage.

IC Markets Global offers several platforms — MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and even integration with TradingView. I chose MT5 for trading, focusing on gold and oil, with a $500 deposit, and earned a profit of $98 over the month. Order execution is fast, and delays are rare even during major news events. I also appreciated that support always responds quickly, and the mobile app interface is just as good as the desktop version.

IC Marketsを利用して3ヶ月になります。Raw Spread口座でEUR/USDのスプレッドが0.0〜0.1ピップスと非常に狭く、スキャルピングに最適です。MT5とcTraderの両方を試しましたが、cTraderのインターフェースが使いやすいです。$300から始めて、最初の月に$85の利益を出しました。出金は24時間以内に処理され、手数料も無料。レバレッジ1:500まで使えるのも魅力的です。唯一の欠点は日本語サポートがないことですが、英語でも丁寧に対応してくれます。

Working with IC Markets Global proved convenient right from the start — registration took no more than five minutes, and the minimum deposit is just $200. I traded currency pairs and indices through the MT5 platform, with EUR/USD spreads from 0.1 pips, which are really low. In the first week, I managed to earn $36 on short-term trades with a $400 deposit on DAX and GBP/USD. Orders are executed quickly, and market orders opened without requotes. I also appreciated the wide selection of instruments — more than 2,200 assets.

I chose IC Markets after studying reviews and ratings. I made a deposit by card, I was verified in 1 day. I use 1:100 leverage, I trade stocks and indices. During the quarter I managed to earn 6% of the deposit, but often lack fresh promotions or bonus offers for clients. In general, the broker is average on the market.

I tested IC Markets Global on a demo account and immediately gained access to MT4, MT5, and cTrader platforms with the same conditions as on real accounts (spreads, liquidity). On the demo, I made a turnover of $100,000 and refined my strategy. Then I switched to a real account with a $300 deposit and earned +$400 with a $30,000 turnover. The ability to trade on a demo with real-market conditions is a big advantage of IC Markets Global for learning without risk.

I liked that IC Markets Global offers zero commissions for deposits and withdrawals (for most methods). I funded my account with $200, traded for a week, earned +$100, and then withdrew part of the funds—no hidden fees from IC Markets Global. It's reassuring to know the broker won't "eat up" part of your profit on transactions.
