Broker essentials03
Shared operating essentials
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Retail margin closeout | 50% equity-to-margin threshold | Positions can close automatically; an ordinary stop does not guarantee its requested price.Source 37Source 38 |
| Overnight positions | Long and short financing differ | Ordinary FX rollover occurs at 00:00 platform time; Wednesday carries the triple charge.Source 17 |
| Money movement | Wallet-based; published withdrawal minimum 25 | 25 in USD, EUR, GBP, PLN or CHF. Arrival depends on the chosen payment network.Source 11 |
| UK protection | Segregated client money; retail negative-balance protection | Eligible investment-failure claims may receive up to £85,000 per person per firm under FSCS rules.Source 28Source 45 |

Additional account routes
Reference table04
Separate accounts and optional treatment
| Route | What changes | Entry or qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Futures and options | Exchange contracts through CQG / Trading Technologies | USD 1,000 starting deposit; product permissions and margin requirementsSource 18 |
| IBKR Multi-Asset | IBKR-held securities and derivatives | IBKR application and tariffSource 19 |
| Islamic treatment | Eligible Classic or Raw account receives conditional swap-free treatment | Approval required; instrument-specific holding charges may replace swapsSource 15 |
| Elective professional | Client classification changes protection and leverage | Evidence-based application; a large deposit alone does not qualifySource 31 |
Change plans by opening another account and transferring funds internally; the existing trading account does not convert.[1]
Products & platforms
Sections ↑Choose the product route before choosing the interface. Tickmill’s CFD range, exchange-traded derivatives and IBKR securities service use different contracts, permissions, funding arrangements and fee schedules.[7][18][19]
Reference table05
Product access and ownership
| Product family | Exposure | Platform / account distinction |
|---|---|---|
| 60+ currency pairs | Leveraged OTC FX CFDs | MT4 / MT5; currency exposure rather than deliverySource 7 |
| Gold, other commodities and indices | CFDs on the named underlying | Exact symbol determines units, margin and sessionSource 5Source 6Source 16 |
| Shares and ETFs | CFDs; no ownership of underlying securities | MT5; US instruments require W-8BEN or corporate W-8BEN-ESource 8 |
| Futures and options | Exchange-listed derivatives | Separate ETD account: CME, CBOT, NYMEX, COMEX, EUREXSource 18 |
| Shares, ETFs, bonds, funds and derivatives via IBKR | Actual securities or derivatives according to chosen instrument | IBKR-held account; permissions determine accessible productsSource 19 |
| Crypto CFDs | Leveraged derivatives | UK professional clients only; not a UK retail CFD entitlementSource 31 |
Reference table06
Order-size specifications for the five references
| Symbol | Minimum | Increment | Maximum per order | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 0.01 lot = EUR 1,000 | 0.01 lot | 100 lots | 100,000 base units per lotSource 2 |
| USDJPY | 0.01 lot = USD 1,000 | 0.01 lot | 100 lots | JPY is the quote currencySource 3 |
| GBPUSD | 0.01 lot = GBP 1,000 | 0.01 lot | 100 lots | GBP is the base currencySource 4 |
| XAUUSD | 0.01 lot | 0.01 lot | 100 lots | Website lists contract size 100; verify terminal unit before sizingSource 5 |
| XTIUSD | 1 lot | 1 lot | 10,000 lots | Website lists contract size 1; do not substitute a 1,000-unit FX-style lotSource 6 |
Reference table07
Platform selection by task
| Platform | Devices / access | Useful capability | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT4 | Desktop, browser, iOS / Android | MQL4 Expert Advisors, charts and strategy testing | Desktop automation requires a running terminal or suitable hosted setupSource 20 |
| MT5 | Desktop, browser, iOS / Android | MQL5, multi-threaded testing, stop-limit orders and calendar | MT5 is the stock/ETF CFD route; MT4 code is not automatically MQL5 codeSource 21Source 8 |
| CQG | Desktop and mobile packages | Exchange order entry, depth and options analytics | Platform and exchange-data subscriptions can add chargesSource 22 |
| Interactive Brokers TWS | IBKR infrastructure | Multi-asset dealing and account management | Separate IBKR permissions, balances and statementsSource 19 |
Exchange and securities mechanics
Reference table08
Holding mechanics depend on the instrument
| Route | Operating rule | Practical consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Spot XTIUSD CFD | Undated spot-price exposure | Overnight financing matters; it is not a deliverable NYMEX crude contractSource 6Source 41 |
| Stock / ETF CFD | Underlying exchange sessions and corporate actions | Financing and dividend-related cash adjustments affect holding costSource 8 |
| Exchange futures / options | Contract expiry and broker exercise instructions | Check last dealing, exercise and delivery deadlines; broker cutoffs may precede exchange deadlinesSource 40 |
Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑A trading-cost comparison needs the same product, size and holding period. A spread floor, a typical spread and a round-trip charge answer different questions. Tickmill’s Raw commission is quoted in USD per standard lot, while an FX lot is measured in the pair’s base currency.[17][2]
Reference table09
CFD charges and their billing basis
| Charge | Classic | Raw | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| Execution commission | None | USD 3 per lot per side; USD 6 for opening plus closing | FX and precious metalsSource 17 |
| Variable spread | Embedded dealing charge | Quoted spread remains payable | Actual bid/ask at execution; can widenSource 17 |
| Stock / ETF CFD dealing commission | Published as zero | Published as zero | MT5 stock/ETF offering; spread and financing still applySource 8 |
| Currency conversion | Quoted internal conversion rate or external provider rate | Same operational distinction | No verified universal fixed FX markup was published in the transfer FAQSource 12 |
| Dormant-client administration | GBP 10 equivalent per quarter | GBP 10 equivalent per quarter | After the full inactivity trigger in the UK termsSource 37 |

How to read the commission: calculated examples
Reference table11
Ordinary overnight financing
| Item | Published rule | What to inspect |
|---|---|---|
| Cutoff | 00:00 platform time on trading days | The platform timezone is the relevant clockSource 17 |
| Weekend accrual | Triple FX swap on Wednesday night | Holiday schedules and symbol specifications can alter accrualSource 17 |
| Direction | Separate long and short rates | A credit on one side is not a promise of free financingSource 17 |
| Current rate | Instrument properties and current swaps table | Rates are variable; no stale numeric long/short quote is frozen hereSource 41 |
Reference table12
Swap-free treatment: qualifications and replacement charges
| Rule | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Who applies | Eligible clients request Islamic status through the Client Area or support; published review target is one business daySource 15 |
| After a grace period | Selected instruments incur a daily USD-per-lot handling charge, converted to account currencySource 15 |
| Charge direction and time | Same published handling fee for long and short, applied at 00:00 server timeSource 15 |
| Classic extended grace | Listed gold/silver, JPY crosses and CHF pairs begin charges from day 41Source 15 |
| Exact schedule | Instrument-specific grace periods and rates govern; the general three-night illustration is not a universal exemptionSource 15 |
Exchange and platform subscriptions
Reference table13
Standalone futures/options: cost components
| Component | Published amount | Billing basis |
|---|---|---|
| Standard contract | USD 1.30 | Broker commission per contract per sideSource 18 |
| Micro contract | USD 0.85 | Broker commission per contract per sideSource 18 |
| Minimum ticket fee | USD 0 | Published minimumSource 18 |

| CQG Mobile | USD 25 standalone; included with another package | Monthly subscription termsSource 22 |
| Market data | Exchange-specific subscription | Level 1 top of book versus Level 2 depth; professional status changes entitlementsSource 22 |
Reference table14
Account activity and other charges
| Situation | Actual condition |
|---|---|
| Dormant client relationship | At least one year with no trades, open positions, deposits, withdrawals or KYC updates triggers the GBP 10-equivalent quarterly feeSource 37 |
| Small inactive Wallet balance | Terms permit writing off the remaining balance where it is no more than the applicable GBP 10-equivalent amountSource 37 |
| Platform-account archiving | MT4/MT5 accounts can archive after 60 days under the separate low-balance and no-activity criteria; this is not the annual fee triggerSource 13 |
| Funding costs | Tickmill publishes no routine deposit/withdrawal charge; banks or e-wallet providers may impose their own feesSource 10 |
| IBKR route | Tickmill says it adds no markup to IBKR’s standard pricing and may receive remuneration from IBKRSource 19 |
Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Tickmill’s UK execution policy describes matched-principal brokerage and names Tickmill as the execution venue for its OTC client transactions. STP and liquidity-provider language does not turn those CFDs into exchange trades. Exchange derivatives follow their separate venue and clearing arrangements.[38]
Reference table15
Orders, pricing and automation
| Topic | Documented treatment | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Market execution | Available market liquidity determines the fill | Positive or negative slippage is possibleSource 38 |
| Stop orders | Execution after triggering, at the available price | Gaps can create a fill beyond the stop levelSource 38 |
| Limit / stop-limit orders | MT5 supports additional stop-limit order types | A price condition may prevent executionSource 21 |
| Scalping, hedging and EAs | Published as permitted strategies | Terms, margin and abnormal-price rules continue to applySource 35 |
| Published speed | Around 0.15 seconds average on the FX page | Broker statistic with no displayed sampling window; no independent latency testSource 7 |
Reference table16
Retail margin for the reference markets
| Instrument | Maximum leverage | Initial margin at that ceiling | Illustration |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 30:1 | 3.333…% | EUR 1,000 exposure requires EUR 33.33 before conversionSource 2 |
| USD/JPY | 30:1 | 3.333…% | USD 1,000 exposure requires USD 33.33Source 3 |
| GBP/USD | 30:1 | 3.333…% | GBP 1,000 exposure requires GBP 33.33 before conversionSource 4 |
| XAUUSD | 20:1 | 5% | Notional value divided by 20Source 5 |
| XTIUSD | 10:1 | 10% | Notional value divided by 10Source 6 |
Reference table17
Closeout, margin changes and urgent instructions
| Situation | Rule / available route |
|---|---|
| Margin deterioration | UK terms permit automatic liquidation below 50%; the greatest losing position is closed first and the process can continue until the margin ratio reaches 100%Source 37 |
| Hedged positions | The terms permit margin on both long and short legsSource 37 |
| Announcements and earnings | Instrument leverage may be reduced around major events; existing exposure can require more marginSource 16Source 8 |
| Order acceptance uncertain | Contact the broker promptly by telephone; email and voicemail are not accepted as order instructions under the CFD termsSource 37 |
| Exchange contracts | Exchange/broker initial and maintenance margins, expiry and exercise rules applySource 40 |
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑The CFD Client Area separates a Wallet from trading accounts. Deposit receipt, broker processing and payment-network arrival are different stages. The following public schedule is for UK CFD funding; the standalone futures service and IBKR account require their own instructions.[10][18][19]
Reference table18
Deposit routes: public UK schedule

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bank wire | USD/EUR/GBP/PLN/CHF | 100 | 0 | Processing within 1 working day; bank transit 2–7 working daysSource 9 |

| Card refund | 25 in the supported Wallet currency | 1 working day | Up to 8 working daysSource 11 |
| Other supported methods | 25 in the supported Wallet currency | 1 working day | Usually 1 working day; route-dependentSource 11 |
Reference table20
Conditions that affect access to cash
| Condition | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Account ownership | Deposits and withdrawals must be in the client’s own name; source-of-funds evidence may be requiredSource 10Source 37 |
| Refund priority | Return deposited money to the same source, including card refunds; profit withdrawals can use another verified own-name method where permittedSource 11 |
| Transfer from trading account | Free margin must exceed the requested transfer; open positions can restrict the amount availableSource 12 |
| Conversion | Review the quoted rate before moving money between differently denominated accountsSource 12 |
| Broker-to-broker cash transfer | Not supported through Tickmill’s published transfer procedureSource 12 |
| Bank-charge reimbursement | Single wire deposit of at least USD 5,000: qualifying bank fees reimbursed up to USD 100 against proof, requested within one monthSource 9 |
Reference table21

| Account | Where money is administered | Separate requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Tickmill CFDs | Tickmill Client Area / Wallet | Move sufficient free cash from the trading account before withdrawalSource 12 |
| Standalone futures/options | Dedicated futures account instructions | Bank funding; USD 1,000 starting deposit and subscriptionsSource 18 |
| IBKR Multi-Asset | IBKR Client Portal | IBKR handles deposits, withdrawals and position transfersSource 19 |
Protection & regulation
Sections ↑The contracting company determines the applicable rules. Tickmill UK’s client-money and retail CFD protections do not automatically extend to another group company or to a separately held IBKR account. Segregation, negative-balance protection and compensation address different risks.[28][29][19]
Protections & eligibility22
UK retail CFD protection boundaries
| Protection | Scope | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Client-money segregation | Broker says client funds are separated from operating funds at regulated banks | Segregation does not protect market value against trading lossesSource 28 |
| Negative-balance protection | UK retail CFD account treatment | Does not guarantee an individual stop price or preserve the deposited balanceSource 28 |
| FSCS investment protection | Eligible claim against a failed authorised investment firm | Up to £85,000 per eligible person per firm; qualifying activity and claim requiredSource 45 |
| Multiple accounts | Scheme limit aggregates by the relevant firm | Opening additional pricing accounts does not multiply the limitSource 45 |
| Professional status | Retail protection changes | Any professional negative-balance treatment is discretionary under Tickmill’s published policySource 28Source 31 |
Tickmill’s safety page states £120,000 for broker failure. FSCS’s own current investment page states £85,000; its £120,000 figure concerns eligible bank-deposit failures. This profile uses the scheme’s investment limit and does not substitute a bank limit for brokerage protection.[28][45][46]
Entities & regulation23
Selected regulatory identities and verification
| Company | Reference | Independent evidence | Scope of check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tickmill UK Ltd | FCA 717270 | FCA genuine-firm notice confirms the authorised company | Live firm page failed to load its full permissionsSource 43Source 42 |
| Tickmill Europe Ltd | CySEC 278/15 | Current investment-firm directory lists the company | Cyprus entity; UK tariff and FSCS are not assigned to itSource 44 |
| Tickmill UK Dubai office | DFSA F007663 | Broker’s group disclosure identifies a representative office | Office role, not an additional UK retail pricing accountSource 29 |
Reference table24
Complaints and escalation
| Stage | Published route | Timing / condition |
|---|---|---|
| Service enquiry | UK support | Supply account and transaction details through the appropriate secure routeSource 30 |
| Formal complaint | Compliance department | Acknowledgment target within 24 hours; aims to resolve within 4 weeksSource 39 |
| Final response | Written outcome | Normally within 8 weeksSource 39 |
| External escalation | Financial Ombudsman Service for eligible complainants | Normally within 6 months of the final responseSource 39 |
Opening an account & support
Sections ↑Opening a trading account requires identification and an appropriateness assessment, with extra evidence for companies and professional classification. The published times below are broker estimates; this review did not open an account or test the contact channels.[13][31]
Reference table25
Eligibility and application documents
| Applicant / task | What is required | Practical detail |
|---|---|---|
| Individual account | Identity and address verification | Residence and product permissions determine available account currenciesSource 13 |
| Corporate account | Incorporation documents, constitutional documents, company address and authorised-person identification | Additional ownership or good-standing evidence can be requestedSource 13 |
| US stock / ETF CFDs | W-8BEN; W-8BEN-E for companies | Complete the applicable form before the relevant instrument permissionSource 8 |
| Additional accounts | Published maximum 7 live MT4 / MT5 / ETD accounts | Each has its own settings and platform historySource 13 |
| Demo | Simulated trading environment | Live slippage, liquidity and price updates may differSource 14 |

Additional services
Sections ↑Tickmill’s additional services include research plugins, discounted VPS hosting, exchange connectivity and conditional interest on unused Wallet cash. These services have different suppliers and access rules; they are not all included in an ordinary spread.[25][24][27]
Reference table28
Research and automation services
| Service | Supplier / access | Useful function | Cost or boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Signal Centre | Acuity Research; MT4 / MT5 plugin | Trade ideas with target and stop levels | Research support, not a guaranteed outcome or automatic mandateSource 25 |
| Acuity Trading | MT4 / MT5 integration | News sentiment, research terminal, alerts and calendar | Analysis must be interpreted by the account holderSource 26 |
| VPS | BeeksFX service | Host a supported terminal and automation continuously | Published 20% package discount; vendor subscription still appliesSource 24 |
| Futures integrations | CQG-connected third-party software | MultiCharts, Sierra Chart, Bookmap, ATAS and other supported interfaces | Own software subscriptions and connection setup may be requiredSource 23 |
Reference table29
Unused Wallet interest: variable rates checked 11 October 2026
The full terms require enabled interest, combined Wallet balances exceeding USD 100 equivalent, and a trading account active within 30 days or holding an open position. Swap-free accounts are excluded. Trading-account cash is outside this Wallet offer. For example, USD 5,000 gives a 0.175% annual rate under the stated formula, not the headline 1.75%.[27]
