FXSpreadMeter assessment
FXSpreadMeter score for Tickmill
6.1 / 10
Average of the category ratings below. It reflects our current research view and is revised whenever a broker's pricing, regulation or platform offering changes.
Tickmill is a solid choice for active traders who want platform choice, raw pricing and a dedicated TradingView Raw account. The multi-entity structure offers broad coverage, but the protections and leverage you receive depend heavily on which legal entity onboards your account.
Section 05

Editorial notes
Fees
Tickmill charges classic: none; raw: $3/lot/side; tradingview raw: $3.50/lot/side. Quoted pricing starts from 0.0 pips (raw/tradingview raw); from 1.6 pips (classic), so the true cost of a round turn depends on which account tier you open.
Non-trading costs matter as much as spread: check inactivity charges, withdrawal fees and currency-conversion margins on the broker's own fee schedule, since these differ by entity and funding method.
Editorial notes
Spreads
Headline pricing is from 0.0 pips (Raw/TradingView Raw); from 1.6 pips (Classic). Spreads widen around high-impact data releases and outside the London and New York overlap, so treat any advertised figure as a floor rather than an average.

Trading risks
Leveraged trading can cost you more than your deposit
CFDs and margin forex magnify both gains and losses. Position sizing matters more than the spread you pay.
Protections depend on your entity
Compensation schemes and negative-balance protection are not universal. Check which company appears on your own account agreement.
Pricing changes
Spreads widen around news and at rollover, and published figures are indicative averages rather than guarantees.
