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!

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.

As a regular Malaysian trader, I chose Tickmill for its advertised advantages of "FCA regulation and low spreads." However, my actual experience has been mixed. The platform does hold a Labuan FSA license, and funds are segregated in a Malayan bank account, which initially reassured me. However, during my trading from March to May 2025, a series of hidden issues gradually emerged. While these didn't result in significant losses, they severely impacted my trading experience. The official website boasts "spreads on major currency pairs as low as 0.1 pips," but in actual trading, the EUR/USD spread remained stable at 1.2-1.5 pips during off-peak hours. This selective execution repeatedly caused my strategy to fail.

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!

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

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!

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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।

Tickmill's spreads can spike when Bank Indonesia (BI) announces interest rates. On the 15th, I traded USD/IDR. The spread, which is usually 10 pips, suddenly jumped to 55 pips after the central bank data was released. I immediately lost 6.6 million rupiah after placing the order. Withdrawals were even worse. I requested an 80 million rupiah withdrawal in March but only received 68 million rupiah by mid-April. They deducted a 'fund custody fee' of 15%. I asked to see the fee documentation, but they couldn't provide it, citing 'platform regulations.' BAPPEBTI's announcement stated that 'Tickmill operates without a license,' but I initially ignored it.

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!

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 has always had a good reputation in the Indonesian forex community, which attracted me to open an account. Their so-called "low spreads" are conditional, but their real killer feature is slippage! On the night of the non-farm payroll report, I placed a short position in gold with a stop-loss at 2640.5. After the release of the non-farm payroll data, gold prices skyrocketed. Normally, my stop-loss should have been triggered between 2641 and 2642, but the platform's transaction price was directly at 2645, a 4-point slip. My account was completely liquidated, with a loss of nearly $1,500! I took screenshots of the Reuters market data and the platform's transaction records at the time, and the two completely mismatched. I also placed the same position on other platforms (such as IC Markets and Pepperstone), and they executed at almost the same stop-loss price, while Tickmill's slipped by 4 points.

During my time trading with Tickmill, slippage has become incredibly frequent. Market fluctuations are relatively stable, and trading should normally proceed smoothly. However, when I placed a buy order, the price I set was $1,850 per ounce, but the actual transaction price was $1,855 per ounce, resulting in a $5 slippage. Instead of making a profit, I actually suffered a loss. I initially thought it was just a fluke, but subsequent trades left me completely devastated. In one crude oil trade, I set a stop-loss price of $55 per barrel and a take-profit price of $60 per barrel. But when the market price quickly rose to $59 per barrel, I suddenly experienced abnormal slippage. Over the past month, at least 15 of my 20 trades have experienced varying degrees of slippage, with each trade resulting in an average loss of over $200. In total, I've lost over $3,000 due to slippage.

I'm extremely disappointed with Tickmill. They constantly boast about "ultra-fast execution" and "no requotes," which is the most ironic advertising slogan I've ever heard! In reality, their order execution issues are numerous! In volatile markets, submitting a market order often results in the platform "hanging," meaning the order remains stuck for several seconds, neither executed nor rejected. Furthermore, I experienced severe slippage. Every trade was executed at a significantly different price from my set price, and this deviation was always against me, leading to frequent unnecessary losses. My trading experience with Tickmill was extremely negative, and I strongly recommend that everyone carefully consider choosing a trading platform and avoid platforms with such numerous issues as Tickmill.

Slippage and margin calls on the Tickmill Forex platform are a double whammy of despair. I'm incredibly angry about your actions! During my time trading on this platform, I've been plagued by both slippage and margin calls, sinking into despair. Slippage haunts every trade like a ghost. In one GBP/JPY trade, the market was stable, but my order slipped by over 30 pips, resulting in significant losses from the outset. And when the market moved against me, the platform's malicious manipulation made me even more miserable. I reported the issue to the platform, but not only did they refuse to acknowledge their mistakes, they also verbally abused me. Tickmill, your treatment of investors has seriously disrupted the order of the forex market. I hope regulators will intervene swiftly and severely investigate you, so that victims like me can receive the compensation and justice they deserve.

The Tickmill forex platform is a complete black hole of fraud! Trading on this platform, I've experienced extremely severe slippage. It's like a dark hand, ruthlessly plundering my wealth. A few days ago, I traded the EUR/USD. During normal market fluctuations, I followed my established strategy and placed an order at a suitable price. However, the moment the trade was executed, the slippage was shocking. The price was far from my expected price, slipping by over 20 pips. This instantly turned a potentially profitable trade into a loss. When the market moved against me, the slippage became even worse, further exacerbating my losses. I've repeatedly reported this to the platform's customer service, but they've consistently offered various excuses, either blaming market fluctuations or simply refusing to respond. This frequent and severe slippage is no accident; it's malicious manipulation, allowing investors to profit at their own peril. Tickmill will undoubtedly be condemned by the mar

Just two weeks after I deposited funds, they maliciously froze my account. The reason was as ridiculous as "suspected unusual trading." But I'd strictly followed the rules every time I traded. It was clear they were deliberately setting me up because I was making a profit! I submitted multiple requests for unfreezing, but customer service either read them but didn't respond or delayed with "under review." Over two weeks later, I still can't move a cent from my account. It's pure robbery! Even more disgusting is the slippage scam during trading. During the non-farm payroll data market, slippage can vary by dozens of points, making my stop-loss orders useless. I watched my principal disappear. When I asked the platform for an explanation, they turned the tables, accusing me of "lack of risk tolerance"! The promise of "low fees and no slippage" was completely deceptive. The screen was full of false advertising designed to lure investors into depositing funds.
