Plataformas de trading

Con qué operar en IC Markets — y para qué sirve cada terminal.

MetaTrader 4 (MT4)

The industry-standard terminal: supports Expert Advisors (EA automated trading), thousands of custom indicators, one-click trading and hedging. Suited to forex-focused traders who want to run strategies.

Your platform choice directly affects how you implement strategies (automated trading, indicators, mobile experience). Before committing, test order speed and stability on a demo account.

Tipos de cuenta

Elige la estructura de cuenta que encaje con tu estrategia y capital inicial.

Standard account

Classic account: the spread is built into the quote, with no separate commission. The default choice for most retail traders.

ECN / Raw spread account

Direct interbank liquidity, spreads from ~0.0 plus a small per-lot commission. Lower all-in cost for active traders.

Raw Spread

Specific terms for this account type are per the broker's latest official description.

Islamic / Swap-free account

A Sharia-compliant account that charges no overnight rollover (swap) fee. Suited to traders who cannot receive or pay interest.

Demo account

A zero-risk practice account using virtual funds and mirroring real market prices, for testing strategies and getting familiar with the platform.

Different account types from the same broker can differ greatly in spread/commission structure — cost-sensitive strategies must calculate the combined "spread + commission" cost before opening an account.

Comisiones y costos

Las cargas que definen tu costo real total de operar.

Minimum deposit$200
Typical spread0.1 pips
CommissionDepends on the account: Standard-type accounts have no separate commission; ECN/Raw-type accounts charge a small commission per lot.
Max leverage1:1000
Overnight financingHolding a position past 17:00 ET incurs an overnight rollover (swap) fee; Islamic / swap-free accounts are exempt.
Inactivity feeMost brokers charge an inactivity fee on long-dormant accounts (typically after a 3–12 month lapse); specifics are per the broker's terms.
Deposit / withdrawalBank Wire, VISA, MasterCard, Bitcoin, BPAY, ePayments, FasaPay, Klarna, Local Bank Transfers, Neteller, PayPal, Poli, Rapid Pay, Skrill, Transfer from Existing Broker, UnionPay

"Low spread" does not equal "low cost" — if the account stacks commission, or inactivity/overnight fees are high, the true cost must be calculated holistically.

Regulación y seguridad

Quién supervisa a IC Markets y qué significa para tu dinero.

Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) Tier-1 strong regulation

Strong Australian regulation: client fund segregation, retail leverage cap 1:30, strict enforcement and disclosure requirements.

Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) Tier-1 strong regulation

Regulated under the EU MiFID II framework, with an Investor Compensation Fund up to €20,000 and a retail leverage cap of 1:30.

Financial Services Authority (varies by jurisdiction) Offshore / weak regulation

Offshore entities (e.g. Seychelles, SVG) offer flexible leverage with limited investor protection.

Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB) Offshore / weak regulation

Offshore but increasingly used by reputable brokers to serve international (non-EU/UK) clients.

Our verdict:This broker holds multiple tier-1 strong-regulation licences, with solid client fund segregation and investor protection.

The same brand often has multiple entities across regions, with different regulatory strength and leverage caps. Be sure to confirm the entity you actually open an account with.

Processing times and fees vary by method and entity — cards and e-wallets are usually instant, while bank wires can take 1–5 business days. Confirm the exact schedule on the broker's site before funding.

What a trade really costs

A worked example of all-in spread cost for IC Markets, using its published typical spread.

Trading 1 standard lot (100,000 units) of EUR/USD with a spread of 0.1 pips costs ≈ $1.0 per side in spread — roughly that amount to open and the same to close. With maximum leverage up to 1:1000, a 1% adverse move can erase a large share of a small account, so position sizing matters as much as the headline spread.

This is an illustrative all-in spread cost only. Commission-based (ECN/Raw) accounts add a per-lot fee, and holding overnight adds swap. Size positions to risk ≤1–2% of equity.

Mobile trading

This broker supports mobile trading: MetaTrader and cTrader offer full-featured iOS and Android apps for charting, one-tap execution and push alerts, so you can manage positions on the go.
