I got one question and found nothing on google oder your site.
Do you have some negative balance protection like other Brokers (JFD) have it?
Yes, Negative balance protection is a very good advantage when it comes to choose a broker ...and a good sign that the broker is a reliable one. But I think if the brokers have it , they would put it on a visible place on the site, it is a positive feature after all ...

New EU regulations should mean that all brokers in the EU have negative balance protection

yeah. BaFin (Germany) regulated Brokers, like JFD have a negative balance protection for good. I want open another account on IC Markets. IC is just ASIC regulated and they still have no negative balance protection.
So what could happen to a EU citizen in the worst case with an australian ASIC regulated broker?

I think in order to determine in which country's legislation you'd fall, what matters also is where you live .... There 's surely a difference in both regulators ( sorry, I am not very familiar with ASIC's regulations) , however if you are a European citizen, you still have to comply with EU regulations for financial markets.

If the broker does not have a EU entity EU citizens can trade with that ASIC broker. Negative balance protection will not be too far away for ASIC brokers I believe. IC Markets is rock solid and as well reputed as EU brokers, just not as stringently regulated (yet).

IC is a very good broker. I used them for years
About IC Markets, I would like to know:
1) What are the advantages of opening an account directly with IC Markets versus an IB?
2) Has anyone here had any problems with withdrawing money from them?
3) I am based in Europe, and they charge a LOT for bank transfers...what '100% cost free' options do they offer to deposit and withdraw money?
Thanks

Life is like a box of trades, you never know what you are going to get.
1) No advantage whatsoever opening directly. If you open through a reputable IB you get exactly the same conditions but with a rebate or discounted commission rate.
2) I have been trading with IC Markets for 6 years. Never had an issue withdrawing direct to AU bank account and via Neteller. Have never had a client contact me regarding problems withdrawing.
3) Credit/Debit card, Neteller, Skrill etc.
