The welcome account is available in the USD currency.

The welcome account is created automatically after the client completes the registration form on the web page and the application has been approved.

The initial deposit cannot be withdrawn or transferred from the welcome account.

A minimum of 30 USD and a maximum of 100 USD of profit can be transferred from the welcome account to a live MT4 trading account (classic, pro or VIP account type).

Each client can make only one request to transfer profit from the welcome account to a live MT4 trading account.

The profit of the welcome account will be added to the balance of the live trading account and can be withdrawn immediately by using any of the available withdrawal options available in the client area.

All profits earned and transferred from the welcome account campaign are deemed to be null and void, if the welcome account or live MT4 account holder has provided incorrect, false or misleading information during the registration process.

Tickmill reserves the right to disqualify any user, if there is a suspicion of misuse or abuse of fair rules.

Hedging trading positions internally (using other trading accounts held with tickmill) or externally (using other trading accounts held with other brokers) and thus avoiding market risk, is considered to be an abuse.

Using the failures in the quote flow for getting guaranteed profit or any other form of fraudulent activities are considered to be an abuse.

Tickmill reserves the right to change the terms of the campaign or cancel it at any time.

Any disputes or likely misunderstandings that may occur as a result of the campaign terms will be resolved by the tickmill management in a way that presents the fairest solution to all parties involved. Once such a decision has been made, it shall be regarded as final and/or binding for all parties.

Clients agree that information provided during the registration process may be used by the company both within the context of the welcome account campaign and for any other marketing purposes.

Tickmill VPS for eas (exert advisers) users

Tickmill takes into account the growing need for automated trading systems for the retail market, and its lag behind more mainstream development (operating systems, personal media, etc).

Tickmill VPS hosting package give clients real-time access to their individual accounts.

This gives you the ability to view, manage and trade in real-time through tickmill and host live expert advisors.

On windows based VPS servers, if a user attempts to use too many resources, the VPS could crash and the user would be forced to upgrade to a more expensive package.

In addition, problems inherent in the windows server operating system can cause crashes and have limitations of its own.

Specifically spyware, malware and viruses can be major issues.

Tickmill goes many steps further and currently provides the only VPS of its kind that is completely built on unix/linux and is 100% web based.

As a result, there are no limitations on the operating system.

In fact, the user can log in directly to his or her account from any browser anywhere in the world.

The tickmill VPS also uses special state-of-the-art technology whereby there are no limitations on RAM and disk space when compared to all of the other providers.

Most importantly, up time is nearly 100% — a claim that most other hosting services cannot make.

In sum, a VPS is a necessity for those traders who want to protect their account from dropped connections and power outages.

Spreads & swaps

Knowing the transaction costs associated with your trading

Trading costs
with ultimate transparency

Check out our typical spreads and swaps below.

What are forex spreads?

When you begin trading, you’ll notice that you’re given a ‘bid’ (or ‘sell’) price and an ‘ask’ (or ‘buy’) price. The ‘bid’ is the price at which you sell the base currency, and the ‘ask’ is the price at which you buy the base currency. The difference between these two prices is what we call the spread.

When a trade is opened, there are always third parties who facilitate the opening and closing of that trade, like a bank or a liquidity provider. These third parties must make sure that there is an orderly flow of buy and sell orders, which means that they have to find a buyer for every seller and vice versa.

The third party is accepting the risk of a loss while facilitating the trade, thus the reason the third party will retain a part of each trade – that retained part is called the spread!

How do you
calculate the spread?

How do you calculate your transaction cost?

To work out the cost of a trade itself (not including swaps, commissions etc.), you take the spread and pip value and multiply it by the number of lots that you’re trading:
trade cost = spread X trade size X pip value

For example:
A trade you have opened has 1.2 pips spread. In this example, you’re trading with mini lots which are 10,000 base units.
The pip value is at $1, so the transaction cost is $1.20

As you’ve probably gathered, the bigger the trade, the larger your transaction costs will be!

Comprehensive review

Tickmill is a broker established in 2015, operating out of its offices in the UK, cyprus, south africa, malaysia, and the seychelles. The broker is regulated by, among others, the financial regulator cysec in cyprus and the uks financial conduct authority (FCA), which means that at least those branches of the broker are overseen by some of the most reputable regulators in the world.

Tickmill’s website immediately gives the impression that it is a serious, transparent, and modern forex and CFD broker, with an easy-to-use interface and information about all aspects related to trading.

The trading platforms offered by tickmill includes the standard metatrader 4 (MT4) downloadable trading platform, as well as the web-based version of the same platform – ideal for mac users and others who cannot use the desktop version of the trading platform.

When it comes to trading accounts, tickmill offers its clients the choice between a long range of accounts, including:
– classic account with commission-free trading (STP-style account)
– pro account with tighter spreads and commission-based trading (ECN-style account)
– VIP account with ultra-low commissions and minimum balance of USD 50,000
– islamic account compliant with sharia law
– demo accounts with virtual money for practice

Further, tickmill doesn’t disappoint when it comes to its selection of trading instruments either, with choices ranging from forex to cfds based on stock indices, oil, gold & silver, and german government bonds. The broker also used to offer trading in bitcoin cfds, but this is unfortunately no longer available.

Spreads and other trading costs are generally low across account types and assets with tickmill, with the “typical spread” listed as 0.1 pips on the popular EUR/USD, AUD/USD, and USD/JPY currency pairs. In addition, leverage offered by tickmill is generally very good with up to 1:500 leverage oon the most liquid assets, although EU-based clients as usual are subject to a maximum leverage of 1:30 in accordance with EU rules.

As would be expected, the competitive offering has also paid off for the broker over the years, pushing through a trading volume of USD 145.53 billion in the month of october 2018 alone.

As an added benefit, tickmill regularly offers promotions such as trading contests and welcome bonuses for new traders. Among these regular offers is also a $30 welcome bonus, where new clients can receive $30 to trade with even without making a deposit. Profits made on the amount can also be withdrawn, meaning this is the closest a trader may get to risk-free trading.

Another promotion by the broker is its “trader of the month” contest, where the broker each month selects one trader based on profitability and his risk management record, and rewards him with a $1,000 prize. Each winner is featured on the website’s own “wall of fame” with an interesting interview that reveals the general strategy used by the trader and tips for beginners who wish to replicate the winner’s success.

The broker also offers access to popular tools such as the autochartist package completely free of charge, as well as its own VPS server with a guaranteed 100% uptime to let traders keep their trading signals and algorithms active on the MT4 platform even when they are offline.

Lastly, customer support is available from several of the broker’s locations, depending on which branch a client is assigned to. This includes local phone and live chat support in the UK, malaysia, the seychelles, and cyprus.

So, let's see, what we have: conditions of trading, fund withdrawal and other rules of tickmill's 30 USD no deposit bonus. At tickmill terms and conditions
