Tickmill

Warning to all investors:

Warning to all investors: Tickmill platform data is unreliable, and the Malaysian team is extremely unprofessional! Believing their gold price breakout predictions, I invested all my savings, NT$300,000, only to have the system data completely corrupted the next day, with crucial historical records completely gone. The technical support, based in Malaysia, was slow to respond and evasive. After a full day of delays, they simply informed me that the data could not be restored and refused to take any responsibility. Worse still, the platform subsequently froze my account in an attempt to cover up the truth. Everyone, stay away from this scam platform that lacks technical expertise and integrity. Don't become its next victim!

As an old user who

As a long-time user who has traded in Thailand for over a year, I want to expose this garbage platform—Tickmill. They are like fraudsters hiding behind regulations. They manipulated prices to siphon off my hard-earned $230,000. All three hedging transactions had sufficient margin but were arbitrarily closed. When I requested a withdrawal, they first deducted a '$37 management fee.' Later, the so-called '$28 compensation' was pure deception, and my account was restricted from direct withdrawals. I emailed for 15 days but couldn’t reach the account manager, Promila. They deliberately acted on a Thursday morning and even tampered with the weekly swap calculations. How many Thai traders have had their money stolen like this? I advise everyone to flee this platform if they see it—unless they want to lose all their money.

Unable to Withdraw

They keep boasting that

They keep boasting that they're "data-based and secure," but it's all fake. Now I can't even withdraw my principal! Last month, I saw some earnings in my account and thought I'd withdraw the principal first, but after submitting my application, there was no further news. Customer service initially said it would take 3-5 business days to arrive, but after waiting a week, there was no response. Sometimes they said my "bank card information doesn't match my identity information," and sometimes they said my "withdrawal application format is incorrect and I need to fill it out again." It's clear they're deliberately delaying my withdrawal because they don't want me to be able to withdraw my funds! What's even worse is that when I logged into my account again today, it was locked! I contacted customer service to ask why, and they said, "The system detected a risk in the account and temporarily froze it." They couldn't specify what the risk was.

As a broker

As a Vietnamese broker, I had very high expectations for Tickmill, but my experience was utterly disappointing. The following section will detail the platform's issues based on actual data and personal experience. When trading gold against the US dollar (XAU/USD), the platform advertises spreads starting from 0.0 pips, but in reality, these spreads often spike abruptly. For example, during normal market liquidity periods (such as 10:00 AM Hong Kong time), the spread suddenly jumps from 0.6 pips to 3.2 pips without warning. We recorded five such abnormal fluctuations within a week, leading to an additional cost of approximately 15%. Avoid trading on this platform.

Tickmill's slippage only

Tickmill's slippage only hurts profitable trades. It's disgusting! In the past 30 days, I've made 32 USD/MYR trades, and 19 of them saw slippage exceeding 25 pips, while the slippage on losing trades never exceeded 5 pips. When I was making a profit of RM2,800, USD/MYR suddenly gapped down 30 pips, triggering my stop-loss, wiping out all my profits and leaving me with a RM1,200 loss. It's so blatant. I checked the BNM website, and Tickmill doesn't have any forex trading registrations, yet customer service insists it's "regulated in Malaysia." I once asked for the regulatory number in Malay, but they hemmed and hawed, unable to produce it, and hung up on me. Now, I'm down to RM28,000 of the RM75,000 I had with Tickmill. Be wary of brokers like this.

Tickmill, are you executing

Tickmill, are you executing orders on purpose? Slippage is always bad, never good! You're driving me crazy! The data speaks for itself: when the non-farm payroll data was released, my EURUSD stop-loss order, set at 50 pips, slipped by 70 pips! A 20-pip loss is equivalent to a 2% loss on my principal! And what about my take-profit orders? I've never seen them slip even a single bit! How is that possible? Is market liquidity one-way? This is clearly your execution desk messing around, deliberately magnifying your clients' losses! Do you have an AI behind the scenes watching my account operations? They're specifically trying to make me lose money! Tickmill, you're a fake ECN company you can't afford to play with. You claim to be fair, but you're doing the dirtiest things behind the scenes! Malaysian brothers, don't be fooled by their propaganda

Last week, your Thai "gold coin data analyst"

Last week, your Thai "gold coin data analyst" who claimed to be the owner of a company contacted me, boasting about an "internal central bank source" that could predict the direction of British pound interest rates. I foolishly believed your lies and followed your advice before the data was released, investing heavily in the market. But the market plummeted by 200 points, completely the opposite! Afterward, I cross-checked data from multiple platforms and found that the "historical volatility range analysis" you provided was entirely fabricated, with no key positions being accurate at all! Even more shocking was that during extreme market volatility, your platform experienced severe slippage, causing stop-loss orders to be ineffective and resulting in losses exceeding 50 points compared to normal market prices! After my position was liquidated, your Thai customer service representative even had the audacity to claim, "It’s your fault for not setting an appropriate stop-loss point." This is nothing but a sophisticated scam!

Terrible Experience

I've tried various brokers in Latam and Tickmill has been the worst. When I opened a position, the execution was several pips up and my operation started with negative $20 in a RAW account, which is unacceptable. I made a claim with evidence, and they responded 4 days later, telling me it was a demo account and to "learn how to use the platform", with a rude tone and zero professionalism. In that time, I had to close in negative to avoid burning the account. They don't have online support and they don't solve anything. I've seen other Latam traders report the same: sliding prices, misleading spreads, and a total lack of transparency. Terrible experience: I don't recommend Tickmill.

टिकमिल के दुर्भावनाप

टिकमिल के दुर्भावनापूर्ण स्प्रेड की वजह से मुझे 480,000 रुपये का नुकसान हुआ। जब भारतीय रिज़र्व बैंक ने अपनी ब्याज दर संबंधी घोषणा की, तो मैंने USD/INR पर 83.50 का स्टॉप-लॉस लगाया। बाज़ार अचानक पाँच सेकंड के लिए रुक गया, और जब वह संभला, तो उसने 83.80 पर एक ट्रेड दिखाया—30 अंकों की असामान्य गिरावट। इससे मुझे 60,000 रुपये का नुकसान हुआ, जो 2,000 मीटर सूती धागे की कीमत के बराबर है। मेरे 15 में से 11 ट्रेड 25 अंकों से ज़्यादा गिर गए, जिससे कुल 525,000 रुपये का नुकसान हुआ। हालाँकि, मैं ICICI बैंक के प्लेटफ़ॉर्म पर भी ट्रेडिंग कर रहा था, और स्प्रेड लगातार 5 अंकों के दायरे में रहा। सेबी की जाँच से पता चला कि टिकमिल भारत में पंजीकृत भी नहीं है; इसका तथाकथित "नियमन" केवल सेशेल्स FSA द्वारा किया जाता है—बिल्कुल दिल्ली की सड़कों पर नकली डिप्लोमा बेचने वालों की तरह। इस ब्रोकर पर मेरी तरह भरोसा मत करना।

The crappy Indonesian-operated

The crappy Indonesian-operated system, coupled with a hilariously fake "data foundation," is practically driving users into a fire pit! Yesterday, I traded based on the EUR/USD data your system pushed, and the real-time price was clearly stable. Just as I entered a large position, the market suddenly plummeted! When I tried to close my position and stop my loss, the crappy Indonesian system froze. When it finally recovered, my account was liquidated, with over $50,000 wiped out in an instant! I complained to Indonesian customer service, but they played dumb in their broken English, saying, "Data delays are normal!" You're using delayed data to trick users into placing orders, then system lags prevent stop-loss orders, and then you're blaming them when things go wrong. This Indonesian team isn't providing service; they're simply stealing money!

2025-08-30 18:58

These people are deceivers.

These people are clearly scammers! Friends in Thailand, if you have any money left, please withdraw it immediately and don't get involved with them. Tickmill's spreads can spike to shocking levels on nights when non-farm payroll numbers are announced. I was trading USD/MYR, where the spread is normally around 10, but suddenly it jumped to 45 points that day. I lost money after placing an order. The customer service team said, 'Non-farm payroll numbers are highly volatile, and the spread is normal.' But I asked my friends about three platforms they operate, and the spreads during non-farm payroll announcements were as high as 20 points. Withdrawals are also delayed. I requested a withdrawal of $10,000 on June 5. Customer service said, 'The funds will arrive within 5 business days,' but I didn't receive the $9,000 until July 10, and they deducted a 10% 'fund management fee.' I asked why the deduction was made and why they couldn't provide any clear terms—they just said 'platform regulations.' Don't believe Tickmill's propaganda!

Slippage and spread traps

Slippage and spread traps lead to huge losses. On the night of the non-farm payroll data release on March 7, 2025, I traded the GBP/USD currency pair on Tickmill and set a take-profit point of 1.2600. When the market hit 1.2605, the platform showed a slippage to 1.2520, forcing a liquidation. The original profit of RM12,000 instantly turned into a loss of RM9,800. What's even more outrageous is that the normal spread suddenly soared from 2.3 points to 18.7 points during the transaction, and immediately returned to normal after the position was closed. This is clearly malicious manipulation by the platform. This is completely contrary to the promise of "ECN low spread, zero slippage" in their advertisements. Scammer

2025-08-31 17:38

Everyone, stay away from

Everyone, stay away from this scammer. Tickmill launched a "Deposit RM10,000, Get RM5,000 Bonus" promotion. I deposited RM20,000 and received a RM10,000 bonus. The promotional rules stated, "Unlock the bonus after completing 200x trading volume." I assumed I could gradually earn the bonus by trading at my normal pace. But in December, after making a profit, when I applied to withdraw my RM15,000 principal, I was told, "The principal is tied to the bonus; you must complete 300x trading volume before you can withdraw any funds." They closed my account and took the $3,718 USD in it, claiming I violated Rule 8. But I didn't violate anything; I didn't do anything. I contacted them multiple times, but they said it was a company decision. Why would they scam me? I hope they return the money and warn me.

I export coffee beans,

I export coffee beans, and to mitigate exchange rate risk, I opened an account on your platform to trade USD/IDR. However, the data provided by your Indonesian team is severely delayed! While it performs normally when the international market is stable, your quotes lag by 3-5 minutes when important data is released, causing all my hedging orders to be executed at the worst possible prices! Even worse, you deliberately widen the spreads in the backend, increasing the normal 5-point spread to 25 points during critical periods! I contacted customer service, but your Indonesian manager brazenly claimed, "This is normal market behavior!" We export agricultural products, and our profits are already slim. This deception has resulted in a direct loss of 350 million rupiah! Now that harvest season has arrived, I don't even have the funds to pay farmers their advances. My entire supply chain is on the verge of collapse!

Tickmill · Company summary

I work in international trade.

I work in foreign trade in Bangkok, Thailand, and I need to put my spare money on Tickmill to do Forex, and this broken platform makes me want to smash my computer! Let's say yesterday, I was staring at the movement of EUR/USD and was ready to close the market at 0.9825 at 10.15 pm after analyzing a lot of data the night before. And waited for this point to lock in profits. But as I pressed down, the platform just froze. The K line on the screen didn't move, like it was dead. I frantically refreshed, restarted the software, and even changed two computers at home and at the company. It was stuck for 47 minutes! And when it was time to recover, the price dropped to 0.9718. I lost 123,000 baht straight away. I complained to customer service. The woman would only say "temporary system maintenance". I asked why they didn't notify me in advance. She replied "emergency". I flipped through my trading records for half a month, and I only lost 3 times because of the platform.Caton, the total delay is nearly 300,000 baht! I'm doing foreign trade alone, is it easy to make money? Tickmill, you're a thief!

These details can easily give the impression of security and reliability. Yet, a deeper look through WikiFX and the Securities Commission Malaysia’s Investor Alert List tells a different story which Malaysian traders must not ignore.
