Tickmill Review

Overview

Among the reputable forex brokers operating in Vietnam today, Tickmill is the most surprising and surprising broker. Because in terms of years of operation, Tickmill is really a very young broker when it has only been launched since 2015. But what Tickmill has built in just 5 years, may make many brokers Other forex must be jealous. Even in Vietnam, although there are not many Marketing programs to promote the image of the floor, Tickmill is still known and traded by many traders.

Tickmill Regulation

Tickmill is regulated by 3 reputable financial authorities including: FSA , FCA and CySEC .

This is also one of the points that makes us highly recommend Tickmill. Because the 3 licenses that Tickmill owns all belong to the world’s leading prestigious organizations, especially from a broker that has only been operating for 5 years in the forex market.

As you know, the more reputable the agency, the more stringent their licensing requirements will be. Even, FBS is one of the famous floating exchanges in Vietnam, but it also took a long time to be licensed by CySEC.

Therefore, with a new exchange that has been in operation for 5 years and can achieve all 3 of these licenses, it shows that Tickmill is strong in both aspects including finance as well as prestige and professionalism.

Of the 3 licenses Tickmill owns, FCA is arguably the most difficult to obtain. Because this is the UK’s leading prestigious financial agency, in order for FCA to accept not only Tickmill but other forex brokers.

It must ensure some of the following specific requirements:

Funding: FCA requires brokers to maintain a minimum of £750,000. Compared to NFA (a prestigious financial regulatory agency in the United States), this capital is still modest, but still much higher than some other regulatory agencies. You should also note, the more reputable the agency, the more demanding this money will be, as ASIC also requires exchanges to have a minimum capital of 1 million Australian dollars before applying for a grant. permission.

Compensation for customers : In addition to the minimum capital required to maintain above, FCA also requires compensation for customers in case of bankruptcy up to 50,000 pounds (more than 1 billion dong).

Maintain a segregated account : ie the forex broker’s account , as here is Tickmill, must be completely separate from the client’s deposit, to ensure that the broker does not use the client’s money for other things, even There are even exchanges that use this money to kill traders’ orders. In addition, having a separate account also shows financial strength, whether they have enough liquidity to provide services to customers.

Member of UK Compensation Scheme: Tickmill participates in the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) with a maximum value of £85,000.

Another Infomation

Not only that, FCA also allows if there is a dispute between the trader and the exchange, the trader can use financial inspection services to resolve the dispute. And there will be 3rd parties to mediate these disputes for traders.

These are the minimum requirements any broker should have. However, that is not all as brokers will have to go through a rigorous application process, before they are granted a license to operate in the UK. After being granted an operating license, FCA will monitor all activities from the exchange, if there is any fraud, even being denounced by the trader itself, it can lead to the highest penalty that no broker wants to be. floor license revoked.

In addition, since Tickmill is also licensed with CySEC, Tickmill will be required to comply with the Financial Instruments Directive 2014/65/EU or MiFID II, as well as the 5th EU Anti-Money Laundering Directive, together with the Investor Compensation Fund (CIF), according to EU Directive 2014/49/EU, which protects deposits up to €20,000.

Trading Asset

Tickmill offers trading products that are not as diverse as other brokers, but most of them are popular products and are of interest to many investors today.

However, this exchange still has some limitations in providing products such as stocks, ETFs and agricultural commodities (coffee, sugar, wheat, corn, etc.)

Below is a list of typical trading products that Tickmill offers:

Trading accounts at Tickmill

Tickmill offers 3 account types: Classic, Pro and VIP. All accounts have the same execution speed.

Basically, these 3 account types do not have much difference from leverage, minimum trading lots to trading products. The only highlight of the 3 main account types lies in the minimum deposit, spread and commission fees.

Account Spreads and Commission

Spreads: Classic accounts will have the highest spreads of 1.6 pips or more, while Pro and VIP accounts have the lowest from 0 pips or more.

Commission Fees: Classic accounts will not charge commissions. The other two account types, Pro, will charge about 0.002%, equivalent to 2 currencies, or 2 USD/lot/1 way. With a VIP account, the commission fee will be less than 1 currency unit per party for a trading lot (at the rate of 0.0010% ) ie 1 USD/lot/1 way.

If you are a professional trader who often trades large amounts of money, the Tickmill VIP account is well worth your while. In particular, this account is currently being favored by Tickmill with a minimum deposit of only $25,000 or more instead of $50,000 as before.

The reason for saying that is because, the commission fee for this account is extremely low, only 2 USD/lot/2 way, while this commission fee in other exchanges is maintained at 7 USD/lot/2 way. , the same spread is only on par with Tickmill. This shows that the trading costs that Tickmill offers to traders are really low and attractive!

In addition, the maximum leverage for the 1:500 VIP account is also very impressive. Even Exness is very famous for its leverage of 1: infinity. But in fact, the more you deposit, the more your leverage will decrease. Accordingly, if you deposit from 50,000 USD or more, the maximum leverage, the trader will enjoy only 1:200 according to the regulations of Exness . Meanwhile, with Tickmill, traders can still enjoy a leverage of 1:500.

Leverage, Tickmill floor commissions

The maximum leverage that Tickmill offers to traders is 1:500. However, in each different product, there will be specific leverage levels such as:

• Forex currency pairs (62 pairs) maximum leverage Tickmill offers: 1:500
• Stock and Oil Indices (16 products) maximum leverage Tickmill offers: 1:100
• Metal: with gold it will be 1:500, silver will be 1:125
