Overview
IC Markets trades under Raw Trading Ltd, a Seychelles securities dealer, on the international site. It is known for raw-spread pricing and for supporting more platforms than most brokers: MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, TradingView, a web terminal and its own IC Social copy-trading app.
Pros
- One of the few brokers offering cTrader, TradingView and both MetaTrader versions side by side
- A dedicated swap-free account rather than a swap-free flag bolted onto another type
- The regulator and licence number are printed on every page
Cons
- The international site is the Seychelles entity; other IC Markets entities serve Australia and Europe with different terms
- Minimum deposit, spreads and commission were not on the pages we could reach; the account comparison sits behind the client area
- Not available to residents of the US, Canada, New Zealand, Iran or North Korea
Our review
What stands out about IC Markets is breadth of platform choice. A trader who prefers cTrader or wants to place orders from TradingView charts does not have to leave for another broker, and the Raw Spread account exists in both a MetaTrader and a cTrader version. The product list runs beyond forex into bonds, futures CFDs and stock CFDs that trade around the clock.
The caution is about which entity you are dealing with. The pages we read belong to Raw Trading Ltd, regulated in Seychelles. That is a real licence, printed with its number on every page, but it is not the same protection an Australian or European client gets from the group's other entities. Their risk warning also says leverage is dynamic and may change at any time, which matters if you size positions near the limit.
The account minimums, spreads and commissions are not on the public pages we could load, so compare those inside the client area before funding. IC Markets is a strong fit for a trader who has a platform preference and wants raw pricing; check the entity and the current commission first.
