Tickmill

Company Overview

Tickmill (the trading name of the Tickmill Group) is a global forex and CFD broker founded in 2014 and headquartered in London, UK. The broker offers trading in 60+ forex pairs, 15+ stock indices, 500+ stocks & ETFs, bonds, commodities (precious metals & energy), cryptocurrencies, plus futures & options. Clients can choose among three account types — Classic, Raw, and Tickmill Trader Raw — and trade on MetaTrader 4/5 or Tickmill Trader.

What kind of broker is Tickmill?

Tickmill operates an NDD (No Dealing Desk) model, routing client orders to liquidity providers rather than taking the opposite side. It serves both retail and institutional clients, with multiple platforms and account structures tailored to different trading styles.

Credibility & Availability

Tickmill is generally regarded as a reputable broker thanks to competitive pricing, low spreads/fees, multiple account options, robust platform coverage, and extensive education tools. Note that services are not available in all countries, and customer support follows defined business hours (Mon–Fri 07:00–16:00 GMT during daylight saving). Prospective clients should verify availability and hours before opening an account.

Is Tickmill safe?

Tickmill entities hold licenses from recognized regulators, including:

• FCA (UK) – No. 717270

• CySEC (Cyprus) – No. 278/15

• FSCA (South Africa) – No. 49464

• LFSA (Labuan) – No. MB/18/0028

Client safeguards include segregated client money, advanced security/encryption, negative balance protection, and access to an applicable compensation scheme for eligible clients.

Our take on reliability

Given its regulatory footprint, years in operation, and broad market offering, Tickmill appears reliable. As with all trading, risks remain — traders should conduct their own due diligence and apply prudent risk management.
