I was trading with them for many months. And any problems here never happened except for my own internet connection problem. The only complain is the time they transfer my withdrawal, it is too much time for the funds to be visible in my bank account. Except of that, a nice experience. And good trading platform.Thumbs up!
Overall
their demo is the same as the live. and they dont deny payments either, try reading the rules, u can only wd to the same source you deposited from.

Have been with them for almost 7 months and have faced several issues. Recently when the peg of HKD was close to upper bound I received an phone call and an email saying that "they are about to change the leverage and it will be implemented within an hour" and in the email it said that "some deposits are not instant". So I ask what was the point of the phone call? So that legal bases could be covered instead of actually providing a genuine service to your customers.
I get that its not a charity but a business; However not an ethical one. Its a crooked business in a crooked industry and they will try to take your money by any means possible. So do yourselves a favor and don't listen to the fake reviews and steer clear of this broker.

A good broker, but I have had a few trades that took too long to go through. 4 seconds is too much!

Good broker. Been using them for a1.5 year. They were the best live performers together with Oanda trading the same portfolio traded on 4 diffrent brokers for comparison. However i just had a friend that was denied sending money to a newly opend account thrue wire transfer since IC markets is blacklisted by the swedish finance inspection authorities. This gives me bad vibes until i find out the reason for ending up on a blacklist.

that's a good one ;)

I have been with IC for almost a year now, I am with their Ctrader platform. So far, fast withdrawals and reliable customer support. If you're a newbie and reading this review. Disregard the slippages error, 1 thing that could contribute to it is your own personal internet connection.
Overall
Just got a warning from ICMarkets that my EA generated too many server messages .. I have since modified the EA (to handle blocks of data) however didnt have the same from Axitrader - same bots on both brokers. The positive is that ICMarkets are pro-active in keeping the use of MT4 within their guidelines, the negative is that my EA can be configured to 10 times the recommended guideline of 2000 server messages per day - which this might limit my attempt at medium to high freq retail trading.
Also Go Markets doesnt have this problem either ;-)
Finally the spreads seem good for IC Markets .. just keeping an eye on the slippage - nothing yet though ..

This doesn't make sense at all. You should contact their support. I never had any issues with this broker and have had excellent customer service. Definitely have them look into this trade. Your activation price is 10+ pips higher than the price at that time. The spread on the USDCAD is usually 1 pip.
Now if you look at the 1 min candle that day at 15:30 broker time (8:30 am est time), it was an obvious news announcement and you would have got triggered at the 1st availbable price with any broker on a stop order. That available price at that time was right there at 1.273. Your time says 21:29:58 and if that time in your time zone is 8:29:58 NY time, you got triggered based on the available price at that time. Not trying to sound like a broker but it is true that when news takes place, the spreads widen and slippage is massive. This is true for any broker.

excellent broker we have group of friends and make more than 200K profit and withdraw it without any problem

I'm trading with them, and so far I'm extremely happy. Not a single problem whatsoever, and the customer support is the best I've had so far. The only complaint I have is that the spreads are somewhat crazy on some currency pairs around midnight. For example the EURCHF has around 10-15 points spread, and I've witnessed it to reach 300 from midnight (GMT+3) to 00:15, then started to lower. This can put at stake some of your trades. That's annoying. The rest is pefect, at least to my taste.

the best in town

Stay away from IC Markets.
I read plenty of reviews and still decided to go with them. Big mistake.
I put straddle trade on GBP/NZD for interest rate announcement.
I had
1. Buy stop at 1.7885 and
2. Sell stop at 1.7840
with both stops at 1.7860.
at the announcement price plunged although my long order was triggered and closed at 1.7860 even though price went no where near the entry order price.
The short order was also triggered as you would expect but with 14 pips slippage at 1.782620
and CLOSED OUT at 1.7873 even though price was still falling.
The times on the order tickets were about 1 sec apart so they basically just closed my orders and took my money.
It is impossible that the short order could be stopped out 50 pips above the entry price in a falling market.
Now maybe this wasn't the wisest trade decision but they just outright robbed me.
Whatever excuse they have, it's not good enough.
I believe the term IC Bucket Shop will become well known in the Forex world.
I know that most all brokers are there to take your money but this is straight up robbery.
Stay away from IC Markets. They are super shady and their so called super tight spreadfs aren't tight at all because the trade can go 2 to 5 pips in your favour and still be negative.
They run a slippery algorithm on their MT5 platform anyway.
So. I have an account with OANDA and am now going to trade with them and close my account with IC Bucket Shop.
I suggest that anyone who has an account with them do the same before they rob you blind.

What a trading environment! The best broker in the industry! Delighted to have live accounts with ICM! Thank you!
