How we ranked fees
We ranked tickmill's fee levels as low, average or high based on how they compare to those of all reviewed brokers.
To get things rolling, let's go over some lingo related to broker fees. What you need to keep an eye on are trading fees, and non-trading fees.
- Trading fees occur when you trade. These can be commissions, spreads, financing rates and conversion fees.
- Non-trading fees include charges not directly related to trading, like withdrawal fees or inactivity fees.
Below you will find the most relevant fees of tickmill for each asset class. For example, in the case of forex and stock index trading the most important fees are spreads, commissions and financing rates.
We also compared tickmill's fees with those of two similar brokers we selected, axitrader and FXCM. This selection is based on objective factors such as products offered, client profile, fee structure, etc. See a more detailed rundown of tickmill alternatives.
To have a clear overview of tickmill, let's start with the trading fees.
Tickmill trading fees
Tickmill's trading fees are low. There are different cost structures for different account types. We tested the pro account, which charges a commission but offers tight spreads.
We know it's hard to compare trading fees for forex brokers. So how did we approach the problem of making their fees clear and comparable? We compare brokers by calculating all the fees of a typical trade for selected products.
We have chosen popular instruments in each asset class usually provided by the forex brokers:
- Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP
- Stock index cfds: SPX and EUSTX50
A typical trade means buying a leveraged product, holding it for one week and then selling. For the volume, we chose a $20,000 position for forex and a $2,000 position for stock index and stock CFD transactions. The leverage we used was:
- 30:1 for forex
- 20:1 for stock index cfds
These catch-all benchmark fees include spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers. Let's see the verdict for tickmill fees.
Forex fees
Tickmill has low forex fees. The forex fees are one of the lowest among the brokers we have reviewed.
tickmill | axitrader | FXCM | |
---|---|---|---|
EURUSD benchmark fee | $6.8 | $5.1 | $12.5 |
GBPUSD benchmark fee | $5.0 | $4.3 | $5.6 |
AUDUSD benchmark fee | $5.0 | $3.4 | $8.8 |
EURCHF benchmark fee | $4.7 | $2.9 | $3.3 |
EURGBP benchmark fee | $7.8 | $5.2 | $16.4 |
The low forex fees are mainly due to the low commission tickmill charges. The commission is 2 base currency units (first currency pair) per lot per trade. For example, it's €2 per lot per trade for EURUSD, while £2 per lot per trade for GBPUSD.
CFD fees
CFD fees are average.
tickmill | axitrader | FXCM | |
---|---|---|---|
S&P 500 index CFD fee | $1.5 | $1.3 | $1.5 |
europe 50 index CFD fee | $1.2 | $2.3 | $1.6 |
Non-trading fees
Tickmill has low non-trading fees. There is no fee for deposit, withdrawal, or inactivity.
tickmill | axitrader | FXCM | |
---|---|---|---|
account fee | no | no | no |
inactivity fee | no | no | yes |
deposit fee | $0 | $0 | $0 |
withdrawal fee | $0 | $0 | $0 |

Traders reviews
Length of use: over 1 year
I have been with tickmill over 5 years and they are my experience with them is excellent.
They provide direct market trading with minimal commission and almost no slippage.
Deposits and withdrawals are fast if using skrill or neteller even faster.
They do have a client outreach and communicate with you occasionally on promotions or events they hold.
I have had no qualms' with them at all.
Commendable and one of the best. Keep up the good work.
Length of use: over 1 year
Tickmill threatens with legal action against me because I expose truth on social media how they refuse to pay me my funds, $35 966! Funds are not paid for more then 6 months already, and they now even threaten with legal action against me. I fight this SCAM company hard with regulators and I am going also to bring my case on court. This unjustice and fraudulent behavior must be stopped!
I strongly advise everyone to stay away from tickmill. This is SCAM company and I kindly ask forexpeacearmy to mark this company with SCAM label and their ratings erased to 0.
Aug 17, 2020 - 1 star this is SCAM company and it should be put where it belongs, to SCAM brokers. Their ratings erased.
Their price at the moment is on 24.10 $. Also straight forward crippled price action. While at same time december futures 2020 contract price which they claim they follow is on 43.22 $ with very much visible dips during upside movement. Something which we do not see in tickmill's price action!
For situation to be even worse, they charge insane swap for long positions of more then 14 points! Total SCAM! This must be punished!
Tickmill continues their fraudulent activity by offering imaginary, fake, and wrong spot WTI price. Price which has nothing to do with reality, or with any futures contract price. Random number they transmit.
I am in close contact with FSA regulator which works on my case, and hopefully this week there will be some real progress regarding my case, and my funds paid in full.
Tickmill must pay me funds they owe me, $35 966 must be paid to my trading account # 3033967.
For more information about my case, you can follow it here: scam - scam alerts - tickmill SCAM! Offers invalid WTI price in close only mode, wrong price execution for all bigger trades.
May 11, 2020 - 1 star I am going to describe 2 problems I ran into with tickmill. My trading account # 3033967.
First and main problem is fake and imaginary WTI CFD price they offer in the moment. Their price currently is at 9.64$ for barrel, while true WTI CFD price is 26$ for barrel, it can be checked with any other broker, or simply by looking at CME futures prices for WTI, all contracts are above 25$ for barrel. Tickmill have applied close only mode on WTI, and since I have 3 long positions I am not able to close my positions with significant profit of 26 000$, and trader can not open new long positions on that absurd, fake, low price they offer because it is only close only mode applied. I would have no problems with their close only mode if they offer true WTI CFD price, instrument I was trading with. Their excuse is that they follow movement of december 2020 futures price, which is also invalid since price for december futures is over 30$ for barrel, and also price movement is completely different. They refuse to pay my winnings after weeks of annoying conversations and invalid arguments they try to provide. I am experienced trader who has account with over 10 brokers, and what they say is completely absurd and not acceptable! Difference in their price from true price is almost 300%, no LP can justify that. There is only one true WTI CFD price and it is between 26$ and 27$ for barrel at the moment I am writing this review.
Second problem I encountered with wrong price execution for trades bigger then 1 lot size. This applies for all FX pairs and metals. Order is executed on price NOT SHOWN in MT4, but on price worse for client by 1-2 points. This happens every time, for manually opened positions and pending positions. They stole from me on over 500 trades these 1-2 point. It is not slippage, it is wrong price execution! I brought this issue also to them, and gave them chance to refund what they were stealing from me for years, but they refused with no true explanation provided, only fake arguments which has nothing to do with reality. Experienced trader like me can not be fooled or tricked like that.
I am going to continue to fight with them with these two problems and claim my funds via court if necessary if they continue to refuse to pay what they owe me.
Everyone can feel free to contact me directly here on FPA if further details about tickmill are wanted.

To have a clear overview of tickmill, let's start with the trading fees.
Tickmill trading fees
Tickmill's trading fees are low. There are different cost structures for different account types. We tested the pro account, which charges a commission but offers tight spreads.
We know it's hard to compare trading fees for forex brokers. So how did we approach the problem of making their fees clear and comparable? We compare brokers by calculating all the fees of a typical trade for selected products.
We have chosen popular instruments in each asset class usually provided by the forex brokers:
- Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP
- Stock index cfds: SPX and EUSTX50
A typical trade means buying a leveraged product, holding it for one week and then selling. For the volume, we chose a $20,000 position for forex and a $2,000 position for stock index and stock CFD transactions. The leverage we used was:
- 30:1 for forex
- 20:1 for stock index cfds
These catch-all benchmark fees include spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers. Let's see the verdict for tickmill fees.
Forex fees
Tickmill has low forex fees. The forex fees are one of the lowest among the brokers we have reviewed.
tickmill | axitrader | FXCM | |
---|---|---|---|
EURUSD benchmark fee | $6.8 | $5.1 | $12.5 |
GBPUSD benchmark fee | $5.0 | $4.3 | $5.6 |

EURCHF benchmark fee | $4.7 | $2.9 | $3.3 |
EURGBP benchmark fee | $7.8 | $5.2 | $16.4 |
The low forex fees are mainly due to the low commission tickmill charges. The commission is 2 base currency units (first currency pair) per lot per trade. For example, it's €2 per lot per trade for EURUSD, while £2 per lot per trade for GBPUSD.
CFD fees

Introduction
Tickmill is a relatively new broker which was founded in 2015. There are two entities with a UK company complying with new CFD and forex regulations and the seychelles registered company offering greater levels of leverage.
Tickmill is regulated by the FCA in the UK and the FSA in the seychelles. They are also authorised by cysec in cyprus.
Tickmill is managing to establish a name for themselves and were awarded the best forex execution broker at the UK forex awards in 2018.
The easy to navigate website is available in 15 languages.
Trading conditions
Tickmill charges floating spreads for all accounts, though the spreads for pro and VIP are zero on some instruments. Stop loss and take profit orders can be entered with no limitations. Trailing stops are only active while MT4 is open.
Leverage for accounts held with tickmill UK complies with ESMA regulations. Maximum leverage for major FX pairs is 1:30, for other currencies, major indices and gold it is 1:20, for silver, oil and other indices 1:10 and for bonds it is 1:5. UK accounts are stopped out at 50% of margin.
Accounts held in the seychelles can increase their leverage to 1:500 and the stop out level falls to 30%.
A new client bonus of $30 is currently offered.
Tickmill offers 4 different types of accounts, including demo accounts.
Classic accounts require a minimum deposit of $100 and offer spreads starting at 1.6 pips with no commission.
Pro accounts require a minimum deposit of $100 and spreads starting at 0, but charge commission.
VIP accounts require a minimum deposit of $50,000 and spreads starting at 0 and charge lower commissions.
All of these accounts can be converted to islamic swap free accounts. They can also all be funded in USD, EUR, GBP and PLN.
Demo accounts allow newbie clients to practice their trading with all the available platforms, instruments and with real time pricing.
Tickmill also offers bespoke solutions for money managers and institutions.
Newbie traders should start with the classic account in the UK which offers competitive spreads, a relatively low deposit requirement and modest leverage.
Products
Tickmill offers more than 60 currency pairs and cfds on 14 stock indexes, oil, precious metals, bonds and cryptocurrencies.
The currency pairs include all major pairs and all the minor and exotic pairs that are favoured by forex traders. Indices include the dow 30, S&P500, FTSE 100 and most other major global indices. These cfds are based on the index futures contracts.
Clients can also trade west texas oil, gold, silver, german government bonds and cfds on bitcoin.
Cfds on individual stocks are not available from this broker.
Regulation
Tickmill UK is based at 1 fore street, london, EC2Y 9DT. This entity is regulated by the financial conduct authority (register number: 717270). UK accounts also benefit from deposit protection.
Tickmill seychelles is based at 3, F28-F29 eden plaza, eden island, mahe, seychelles and regulated by the financial services authority (with licence no. SD 008).
Platforms
Tickmill offers clients a choice of two platforms, metatrader 4 and web trader, which is a browser-based version of the same platform. Tickmill doesn’t seem to have any proprietary platforms on offer.
Metatrader 4 is an award-winning trading platform widely recognised as the gold standard for forex trading. It offers 9 time frames and more than 85 indicators. Users can access and share eas (expert advisors) and automated trading systems, and back test their own trading strategies.
MT4 can be installed on windows and OS X pcs, as well as mobile devices.
Mobile trading
As far as mobile accessibility goes, tickmill’s offering is fairly standard.
The website is reasonably easy to access and navigate using mobile devices. MT4 can be installed as an app on ios and android devices. This allows traders to access their accounts while on the go, with nearly all the functionality of the desktop platforms.
The browser-based version of MT4 is also mobile friendly.
Pricing
Tickmill’s pricing is competitive when compared to other brokers. The spreads charged on the classic accounts are higher, but about average for small accounts.
Both the pro and VIP accounts are ECN accounts and offer lower spreads but charge commission. The low commission on the VIP account is especially attractive, but a $50,000 deposit is required. The higher commission on the pro account is about average for similar accounts, though spreads can add an unknown factor.
The typical spreads for ECN accounts on the EUR/USD pairs seems to be 0.2 pips which is toward the lower end of the range when compared to other brokers.
We didn’t find complaints about the spreads, though some people commenting in online forums complained about slippage.
Deposits & withdrawals
Tickmill offers the usual range of deposit and withdrawal options, including credit and debit cards, wire transfers, neteller, skrill, and a few other ewallet solutions. Minimum deposits are generally $100, and minimum withdraws $10. No fees are charged for any deposits or withdrawals apart from wire deposits below $5,000.
The broker claims deposits are all processed instantly and withdrawals within 1 working day. We did find some complaints online about withdrawals taking longer which tickmill said was due to service providers.
Customer support
Customer support is available via email, phone, call back and live chat. The broker can also be reached on social media channels. Support is advertised as being available 24 hours a day on business days.
Support is available in english, indonesian, italian, chinese, russian, spanish, and polish.
We did find a few complaints regarding the level of professionalism and knowledge of the support staff.
Research & education
Tickmill’s education section consists of an extensive glossary, video tutorials and educational articles. For the most part these are fairly basic and cover the fundamentals clients will need to get started.
Regular webinars are also hosted to discuss the market, though these all appeared to be in portuguese and german when we checked.
The educational resources are sufficient for newbies to get started, but to become a competent trader more material will be needed. That’s not necessarily a problem as there are plenty of educational resources available around the web for free.
Noteworthy points
For the most part tickmill’s offering is very standard, but there are a few unique features. The broker runs a trader of the month competition with a prize of $1,000. The prize is based not only on profits but on risk management as well.
Another unique competition is the NFP machine competition in which clients predict the price of a specific instrument 30 minutes after US non-farm payrolls are released. The prize is $500 for an exact match or $200 for the closest guess.
In 2016 tickmill won the chinese forex expo awards for “the most trusted forex broker” and “the best ECN/STP broker.”
In 2017 they won the “most trusted broker 2017” award from the UK global brands magazine.
IN 2017 tickmill was awarded the ‘best forex trading conditions’ prize at the UK forex awards, and in 2018 they won “best forex execution broker” at the same event.
In general, the broker seems to have a good reputation and most complaints we found seemed to be relatively trivial. They don’t appear to be the subject of any major investigations or disputes
Conclusion
Tickmill is a very standard broker in many respects. For newbie traders the range of instruments is good, and the pricing is fair for small account sizes. The UK entity’s low leverage is ideal for those still learning the ropes. The educational resources are enough to get started. Another advantage for new traders is that the offering is simple without an endless range of platforms and instruments which can be confusing.
More advanced traders may also find the pro account feasible depending on the frequency of their trades. The spreads are very low and the commission reasonable.

Length of use: over 1 year
I have been with tickmill over 5 years and they are my experience with them is excellent.
They provide direct market trading with minimal commission and almost no slippage.
Deposits and withdrawals are fast if using skrill or neteller even faster.
They do have a client outreach and communicate with you occasionally on promotions or events they hold.
I have had no qualms' with them at all.
Commendable and one of the best. Keep up the good work.
Length of use: over 1 year
Tickmill threatens with legal action against me because I expose truth on social media how they refuse to pay me my funds, $35 966! Funds are not paid for more then 6 months already, and they now even threaten with legal action against me. I fight this SCAM company hard with regulators and I am going also to bring my case on court. This unjustice and fraudulent behavior must be stopped!
I strongly advise everyone to stay away from tickmill. This is SCAM company and I kindly ask forexpeacearmy to mark this company with SCAM label and their ratings erased to 0.
Aug 17, 2020 - 1 star this is SCAM company and it should be put where it belongs, to SCAM brokers. Their ratings erased.
Their price at the moment is on 24.10 $. Also straight forward crippled price action. While at same time december futures 2020 contract price which they claim they follow is on 43.22 $ with very much visible dips during upside movement. Something which we do not see in tickmill's price action!
For situation to be even worse, they charge insane swap for long positions of more then 14 points! Total SCAM! This must be punished!
Tickmill continues their fraudulent activity by offering imaginary, fake, and wrong spot WTI price. Price which has nothing to do with reality, or with any futures contract price. Random number they transmit.
I am in close contact with FSA regulator which works on my case, and hopefully this week there will be some real progress regarding my case, and my funds paid in full.
Tickmill must pay me funds they owe me, $35 966 must be paid to my trading account # 3033967.
For more information about my case, you can follow it here: scam - scam alerts - tickmill SCAM! Offers invalid WTI price in close only mode, wrong price execution for all bigger trades.
May 11, 2020 - 1 star I am going to describe 2 problems I ran into with tickmill. My trading account # 3033967.
First and main problem is fake and imaginary WTI CFD price they offer in the moment. Their price currently is at 9.64$ for barrel, while true WTI CFD price is 26$ for barrel, it can be checked with any other broker, or simply by looking at CME futures prices for WTI, all contracts are above 25$ for barrel. Tickmill have applied close only mode on WTI, and since I have 3 long positions I am not able to close my positions with significant profit of 26 000$, and trader can not open new long positions on that absurd, fake, low price they offer because it is only close only mode applied. I would have no problems with their close only mode if they offer true WTI CFD price, instrument I was trading with. Their excuse is that they follow movement of december 2020 futures price, which is also invalid since price for december futures is over 30$ for barrel, and also price movement is completely different. They refuse to pay my winnings after weeks of annoying conversations and invalid arguments they try to provide. I am experienced trader who has account with over 10 brokers, and what they say is completely absurd and not acceptable! Difference in their price from true price is almost 300%, no LP can justify that. There is only one true WTI CFD price and it is between 26$ and 27$ for barrel at the moment I am writing this review.
Second problem I encountered with wrong price execution for trades bigger then 1 lot size. This applies for all FX pairs and metals. Order is executed on price NOT SHOWN in MT4, but on price worse for client by 1-2 points. This happens every time, for manually opened positions and pending positions. They stole from me on over 500 trades these 1-2 point. It is not slippage, it is wrong price execution! I brought this issue also to them, and gave them chance to refund what they were stealing from me for years, but they refused with no true explanation provided, only fake arguments which has nothing to do with reality. Experienced trader like me can not be fooled or tricked like that.
I am going to continue to fight with them with these two problems and claim my funds via court if necessary if they continue to refuse to pay what they owe me.
Everyone can feel free to contact me directly here on FPA if further details about tickmill are wanted.
