Types of accounts at IC Markets
We can distinguish 3 different types of accounts in ICM – Raw Spread, Raw Spread (cTrader) and Standard. It is worth adding that the leverage depends on the jurisdiction in which we create our account. While in Seychelles it can be even 1:500, in the Cyprus branch of IC Markets it will be compliant with ESMA restrictions, i.e. it will be 1:30 for non-professional clients and 1:200 for professional clients.
Standard account
It is a standard account comparable to accounts with most FX / CFD brokers. Namely, the only transaction fee in this case is the spread, which starts at 1 pips. There is no additional commission present on Raw Spread accounts. The minimum lot size is 0.01.
Available platforms: Meta Trader 4 and 5.
Raw Spread Account
It is an account with very low spreads (the average spread on EUR / USD according to the broker is 0.1 pips), but with an additional commission on concluded orders (3.50 USD per 1 lot of transaction, both when opening and closing positions).
Available platforms: Meta Trader 4 and 5.
Raw Spread Account (cTrader)
Equivalent to a Raw Spread account, but with a different trading platform – cTrader. In this case, the additional commission on the transaction is slightly lower, amounting to USD 3 per 1 lot (also charged at opening and closing).
It is worth adding that the range of available instruments may differ between the Meta Trader and cTrader platforms.
