Tickmill Review 2026: Spreads, Commission, Platforms & Entities

Tickmill spreads and commission by account

Tickmill offers two account types. The Classic account is commission-free with variable spreads that Tickmill publishes as starting from 1.6 pips; the cost is entirely in the spread. The Raw account has floating spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission that Tickmill publishes as USD 3 (or the equivalent in your account currency) per side per lot, i.e. USD 6 round turn. Our dataset records the same figures for both accounts.

Tickmill's deposit and withdrawal page is titled 'Zero Fees' and Tickmill states it does not charge for deposits or withdrawals on its side, though payment providers and banks can. The inactivity rule is worth knowing: Tickmill states that a trading account is classed as inactive after 60 calendar days with no trading, open positions, deposits, withdrawals or logins and a balance at or below 50 USD/EUR/GBP (or equivalent), and that dormant client areas are charged 10 USD/EUR/GBP/CHF or 40 PLN per quarter. Swaps apply on non-Islamic accounts.

Tickmill trading platforms

Tickmill states that it offers four platforms: MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, Tickmill Trader (its own app on iOS and Android) and TradingView, plus MT4/MT5 WebTrader in the browser. Our dataset records MT4 and MT5; Tickmill Trader and TradingView were added by the broker more recently and are shown on tickmill.com. Tickmill publishes spreads from 0.0 pips and leverage up to 1:1000 for both Tickmill Trader and the TradingView connection, which implies those apply to the offshore entity.

cTrader is not offered. Tickmill does supplement MetaTrader with an Advanced Trading Toolkit (an add-on package for MT4/MT5), VPS options and its own research feed. If cTrader is a hard requirement, FP Markets is the closest alternative in our directory.

Tickmill entities: UK, CySEC, Seychelles, Labuan and South Africa compared

Tickmill publishes five operating entities plus a Dubai representative office. We confirmed the Cyprus entity directly on the CySEC register (Tickmill Europe Ltd, licence 278/15, granted 2015). The remaining licence numbers below are as published on tickmill.com. Which entity you get is determined by your country of residence at registration: UK residents go to Tickmill UK Ltd, EU residents to Tickmill Europe Ltd, South Africans to Tickmill South Africa, and most other clients to Tickmill Ltd in Seychelles or Tickmill Asia in Labuan.

The practical differences are leverage and compensation. Retail clients of the UK and Cyprus entities are capped at 1:30 on major forex pairs under FCA and ESMA rules and are covered by the FSCS (UK) or the ICF (Cyprus); our dataset records FSCS as the investor protection on file. Clients of the Seychelles and Labuan entities can access leverage up to 1:1000 but have no statutory compensation scheme. Tickmill states that client money is segregated at all entities and that negative balance protection applies to retail clients.

Tickmill account types and minimum deposit

Tickmill keeps it to Classic and Raw, both with a $100 minimum deposit that Tickmill notes can vary by base currency (our dataset records USD, EUR, GBP and PLN as base currencies). Both accounts trade the same CFD range: Tickmill states 62 currency pairs plus stock, index, oil, metal, bond and crypto CFDs. Islamic (swap-free) versions are available on request. Tickmill also runs a $30 Welcome Account promotion for eligible new clients on certain entities; check the promotion terms for your country.

Tickmill deposits and withdrawals

Our dataset records bank wire, credit and debit cards, Skrill, Neteller, China UnionPay and Bitcoin as deposit methods; Tickmill's funding page lists methods by entity and country. Tickmill states that it does not charge deposit or withdrawal fees and that most withdrawals are processed within one working day, after which timing depends on the provider. Wire withdrawals may carry bank charges at either end.

Who does Tickmill suit?

Tickmill suits traders who want the lowest reliable commission structure they can get, either under FCA/CySEC protection at 1:30 leverage or offshore at higher leverage, and who are happy on MetaTrader, TradingView or Tickmill's own app. It is less suitable if you want cent accounts, cTrader or a $5 entry point.
