Our verdict
Tickmill combines several regulated entities with Classic and Raw account structures. It also promotes TradingView and Tickmill Trader alongside MT4/MT5, with a separate TradingView Raw cost schedule.
The public catalogue now includes stock and crypto CFDs as well as forex, indices and commodities. Availability, platform access and costs vary by entity; check your exact onboarding route before assuming every advertised market is available.
It suits CFD traders who value a clear Classic-versus-Raw account choice and want to check entity-specific market access. Confirm your region's entity and check that the markets you trade are actually covered.
Current Classic and Raw accounts (plus a separate TradingView Raw variant): Classic advertises spreads from 1.6 pips without commission; Raw from 0.0 pips plus $3 per lot per side on the general site. TradingView Raw has a different commission. Deposits and terms vary by entity.
Strong multi-regulation — FCA (Tickmill UK Ltd), CySEC (Tickmill Europe Ltd, serving EU/EEA clients including Germany), Seychelles FSA and FSCA South Africa; applicable protections depend on your onboarding entity.
MT4, MT5, TradingView and Tickmill Trader are promoted on the general site, with MetaTrader EA support. Stocks and crypto CFDs are also listed, subject to entity and platform availability; cTrader is absent.
Multiple deposit and withdrawal methods marketed with no internal fees; availability and timelines still depend on your region and entity.
Established multi-channel support; straightforward onboarding for a focused forex/CFD broker.

Account structure and costs
Tickmill's Classic and Raw accounts are easy to compare, but TradingView Raw uses a different commission schedule. Check costs under your actual entity and platform. For traders who treat broker selection as risk management rather than feature shopping, this reduces both the decision time and the chance of picking a mismatched account.
Platforms and focus
MT4 and MT5 carry manual and automated CFD workflows, with TradingView and Tickmill Trader also advertised. The public catalogue includes stocks and crypto CFDs, though availability depends on entity and platform; cTrader is the notable absence. Whether that matters depends on your workflow — an MT5-native EA operation loses nothing here, and a TradingView-first chartist is now covered too.
Regulation and regional terms
The multi-regulated setup is central to Tickmill's positioning, but the operative protections are still entity-specific. Confirm which entity serves your country and what that means for leverage, products and recourse before depositing.
