Well that's the thing, you only fund a couple hundred or grand at most when you're testing out a broker before you take the plunge, so you don't have a lot of your money on the line.

Personally my experience has been an inversion of what you report with regards to slippage, and I did give Pepperstone months to prove itself. Granted, this was a little more than a year ago and things may have changed since, but during that time I was definitely not impressed. Further, if reviews about Pepperstone on the Forex Peace Army site are any indicator, my findings were apparently accurate.

Well, we have completely different experiences, you're happy with IC, I'm happy with Pepperstone so all is good. Horses for courses.

I'm with both brokers, with pepperstone since 2010 (yes I know their up and down), also with IC since 2013 and now I'm happy with both brokers. 😁
The only thing that I don't like is the wire transfer fee from aussie to my country. 😭

Yeah, wiring fees are never pleasant, but as long as my withdrawals are fast and reliable as opposed to being an Instaforex-level nightmare of delays and excuses, I'm a happy trader.

That all said, a lot can happen in a year as broker quality goes, so if Pepperstone has indeed improved since my testing, it wouldn't surprise me! Glad to hear it's working out for you two.

Between the new server/hardware and MT4 Build 625, I've noticed execution times have been reduced to less than 40 ms.

Wow!........thats awesome :)

HFT Group have been doing that for like 2 years now........... and others have followed ;)

Just a friendly word............ there is a warning below regarding 'Commercial use' that might be worth reading ;)

You might reconsider your forum avatar also...........not sure IC Markets would be thrilled about the misrepresentation.

This thread is specifically for IC Markets Discussion.

We are not multi broker rebates provider like many other groups. We are just providing real time commission discount for IC Markets only. All of our activities are with the permission of IC Markets officials. Further, We are looking to scale up as a Regional Partners of IC Markets.

People can search google for ' IC Markets Rebates' to see where we stands. 😉

Absolutely true..........discussion, not blatant commercial advertising.
Quote: 'Commercial use and spam will not be tolerated, and may result in account termination.' End quote.

So IC Markets gave you permission to use their logo also? Then why have you changed it since your original post?

Did a search for IC Markets rebates and found your website........along with HFT Group and another IC Markets IB who actually CONTRIBUTES to this thread, as I do...........might be a good example to follow ;)

ICM...well their customer service is atrocious, We have an account with them but I am not happy about it(moving asap). I wanted to teleport through the screen to other side and beat the living s*it out of the customer service guy..they don't give a crap plain and simple. There is a pro trader I want to open with but he only deals with ICM so I am hesitating because I strongly dislike ICM.

Hey VIP, welcome to the thread.

What was the issue exactly, both with your account and the CSR?

It is your choice. No one can force you to stay if you have decided to leave ICM. Instead of screaming can you specify the actual problem? Can you post that discussion here?

Once my balance reaches target, moving my money don't worry.
Not screaming, maybe I will refrain from commenting here but my ICM experience was not pleasant.

You have every right to voice your comments and opinions here. Hopefully you will receive a response that is actually helpful.
Sadly, the actions of one support person can leave a bad impression. We have seen this recently with another popular broker.
I am personally sorry to hear of your bad experience but can reassure you that IC Markets are a solid and reputable broker.

Hey at least he replied..the other two at the customer service desk just plain ignored me after the initial 'hello how can I help you today' convo starter when I had problem funding the account. As for the first guy at the desk(before opening account) he took ten mins per reply..maybe he was checking on his bbq by some Aussie beach I don't know 😁

It's not your fault, its mine for opening the account, its a joint account my partner put more money than me hence my say was zero.

Must have been a few months ago mate......Winter is here and certainly not bbq or beach weather 😞

You will always find support in this thread from myself or Surrealistik regarding IC Markets. I hope that you and your partner found the trading conditions favourable despite your negative experience with support.

your avatar, website and domain name is very misleading. I will report you. Even if it's agreed with ICM, it's keeping them busy and one day or another, they won't allow you this anymore.

Cheers

Hi Cyberryder.

We are dedicated Introducing Broker Partner's of IC Markets and we do not promote any other broker. Our website domain name and design is approved by IC Markets officials. IB Partner is mentioned on Avatar so it is not misleading. Even if you read our profile we never claim our self as IC Markets representative.

I have to admit, I held my judgement on this, but after seeing your website when it was pointed out to me, I kind of agree with cyberryder and Jon; there certainly seems to be an attempt to distinguish yourself from other IBs with a false veneer of exceptionality/exclusivity and official endorsement. It's not that you're trying to impersonate an employee of IC Markets, it's the misleading way you are representing your association with this broker.


Also did you get permission from Nick and Jeff to advertise their MAM, and associate your affiliate ID with it?

EDIT: Apparently you did not: https://www.donnaforex.com/forum/index.php?topic=10883.msg313905#msg313905

I strongly recommend you delete that page at once. I will also be speaking to Angus about any clients you illegitimately enrolled in this way.

I genuinly thought he was an official ICmarkets representative..wow. You can't be too careful. The entire universe is a big scam 😄
