FOREX

Access the world’s largest market and trade more than 60 currency pairs.

What is forex?

Foreign exchange, or forex for short, is quite simply a market where you’re able to exchange one currency for another. When you ‘sell’ a currency, there is a buyer for that currency somewhere else. Now, the exchange rate between those two currencies is what’s important when trading forex. The exchange rate is constantly fluctuating, and it’s these fluctuations that allow market speculators to earn from trading.

With a daily trade volume of $6.5 trillion dollars, the forex market itself is huge! It eclipses the likes of the new york stock exchange (NYSE) which, by comparison, has a trading volume of only $22.4 billion per day.

The forex market’s sheer size attracts a wide range of different participants, including central banks, investment managers, hedge funds, corporations, brokers and retail traders – with 90% of those market participants being currency speculators!

HOW-TO
trade forex

The value of each currency depends on the supply and demand for it, thus determining the ‘exchange rate’ between the two currencies, which is continually fluctuating. The exchange rate itself is basically the difference between the value of one currency against another.

It's this exchange rate that determines how much of one currency you get in exchange for another, e.G. How many pounds you get for your euros.

Now, when you’re trading forex, you’ll be trading currency pairs. So, two different currencies will be involved, and you’ll be speculating about their value in relation to each other.

Exclusive: tickmill launches futures trading on CQG platform

According to tickmill co-founder, illimar mattus, the product has been in the works for over 18 months.

London-based brokerage firm, tickmill is expanding its product portfolio with the launch of futures trading to capitalize on the growing popularity for such instruments outside their traditional users.

“after partnering with CME, the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, we’re giving to our clients access to globally regulated futures exchanges, including NYMEX, COMEX, CBOT and EUREX. This will provide you with direct market access, giving you fast and reliable execution on our new CQG platform,” the UK broker told finance magnates.

According to duncan anderson, CEO of tickmill UK ltd, the product has been in the works for over 18 months and the company “intends to bring strong competition into futures and options space with competitive pricing, access to a wide range of markets and excellent customer service.”

As part of its plans, tickmill has partnered with top-tier regulated exchanges in order to lower trading costs and let them tap into their range of futures aimed at smaller investors.

The broker broadens its product line as clients’ desire to garner exposure to regulated markets has been increasing. The moves are a sign that more retail traders are looking to diversify their trading options and further marks how such regulated products are starting to appeal beyond a relatively small group of institutional investors.

Still not sure?

2) executing trades

Tickmill allows you to execute a minimum trade of 0.01 lot. This may vary depending on the account you open. The maximum trade requirements vary depending on the trader and the instrument. As tickmill offer ECN and STP execution, you can expect very tight spreads with more transparency over the price you’re paying to execute your trades.

As a market maker, tickmill may have lower entry requirements compared to an ECN broker who benefits from a higher volume of trades and typically has larger capital and minimum trade requirements. Market makers typically have a lower minimum deposit, smaller minimum trade requirements and no commission on trades.

As a nice bonus, tickmill are one of very few brokers that claim to have no requotes, so you don’t have to worry about slippage (your trades being ordered at a different price to what you executed them at).

As with most brokers, margin requirements do vary depending on the trader, accounts and instruments. You can see the latest margin requirements on their website.

Tickmill has a brokernotes double AA support rating because tickmill offer over three languages email and phone support.

4) what you’ll need to open an account with tickmill

As tickmill is regulated by financial conduct authority , every new client must pass a few basic compliance checks to ensure that you understand the risks of trading and are allowed to trade. When you open an account, you’ll likely be asked for the following, so it’s good to have these handy:

A scanned colour copy of your passport, driving license or national ID

A utility bill or bank statement from the past three months showing your address

You’ll also need to answer a few basic compliance questions to confirm how much trading experience you have, so it’s best to put aside at least 10 minutes or so to complete the account opening process.

While you might be able to explore tickmill’s platform straight away, it’s important to note that you won’t be able to make any trades until you pass compliance, which can take up to several days, depending on your situation.

How we ranked fees

We ranked tickmill's fee levels as low, average or high based on how they compare to those of all reviewed brokers.

To get things rolling, let's go over some lingo related to broker fees. What you need to keep an eye on are trading fees, and non-trading fees.

Trading fees occur when you trade. These can be commissions, spreads, financing rates and conversion fees.

Non-trading fees include charges not directly related to trading, like withdrawal fees or inactivity fees.

Below you will find the most relevant fees of tickmill for each asset class. For example, in the case of forex and stock index trading the most important fees are spreads, commissions and financing rates.

We also compared tickmill's fees with those of two similar brokers we selected, axitrader and FXCM. This selection is based on objective factors such as products offered, client profile, fee structure, etc. See a more detailed rundown of tickmill alternatives.

To have a clear overview of tickmill, let's start with the trading fees.

Tickmill trading fees

Tickmill's trading fees are low. There are different cost structures for different account types. We tested the pro account, which charges a commission but offers tight spreads.

We know it's hard to compare trading fees for forex brokers. So how did we approach the problem of making their fees clear and comparable? We compare brokers by calculating all the fees of a typical trade for selected products.

We have chosen popular instruments in each asset class usually provided by the forex brokers:

Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP

Stock index cfds: SPX and EUSTX50

A typical trade means buying a leveraged product, holding it for one week and then selling. For the volume, we chose a $20,000 position for forex and a $2,000 position for stock index and stock CFD transactions. The leverage we used was:

30:1 for forex

20:1 for stock index cfds

These catch-all benchmark fees include spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers. Let's see the verdict for tickmill fees.

Forex fees

Tickmill has low forex fees. The forex fees are one of the lowest among the brokers we have reviewed.

Tickmill forex benchmark fees of a $20,000 30:1 long position held for one week

tickmill	axitrader	FXCM
EURUSD benchmark fee	$6.8	$5.1	$12.5
GBPUSD benchmark fee	$5.0	$4.3	$5.6
AUDUSD benchmark fee	$5.0	$3.4	$8.8
EURCHF benchmark fee	$4.7	$2.9	$3.3
EURGBP benchmark fee	$7.8	$5.2	$16.4

The low forex fees are mainly due to the low commission tickmill charges. The commission is 2 base currency units (first currency pair) per lot per trade. For example, it's €2 per lot per trade for EURUSD, while £2 per lot per trade for GBPUSD.

CFD fees

CFD fees are average.

tickmill	axitrader	FXCM
S&P 500 index CFD fee	$1.5	$1.3	$1.5
