I keep seeing warnings online about brokers closing scalper accounts or putting restrictions on rapid trading. I’ve been wondering if Tickmill actually has clear policies around scalping, or if there’s some gray area where accounts get flagged and closed quietly.
Like, are there official limits on how many trades you can make per day or per session? Does Tickmill explicitly say scalping is allowed, or do they tolerate it but don’t encourage it? And if they do restrict or close an account, what’s the actual process and do you have any recourse?
I’ve also heard some people mention that certain account types have different restrictions. Is that true? And does using rebates through GlobeGain change anything about how Tickmill treats your account?
Before I commit to scalping on Tickmill, I want to understand what I’m actually getting into policy-wise. What’s been the actual experience from people who have scalped on Tickmill for a while without issues?
Has anyone actually run into problems with Tickmill flagging or restricting their account for scalping, or does the broker generally let you do what you want as long as you’re trading?
Tickmill allows scalping. No trade limits or restrictions.
Been scalping here 18 months. Never had account issues.
Tickmill explicitly permits scalping without trade limits or minimum hold times. Their official stance is that scalping is a legitimate strategy. No account types have scalping restrictions. That said, they reserve the right to close accounts that use arbitrage strategies or manipulate price feeds, but normal scalping never triggers this. I’ve not heard credible reports of Tickmill closing scalper accounts. The rebates don’t change the policy. What matters is you’re trading legitimately. Test with a small account first if you’re worried, but the evidence from the community suggests Tickmill is scalper-friendly.
I’ve been scalping on Tickmill for over a year and haven’t had any issues. No restrictions, no warnings, nothing. They seem genuinely okay with scalping as a strategy.
I checked their terms before I started, and they don’t mention trade limits or minimum hold times. They just ask that you trade legitimately and don’t use exploits or manipulation tactics.
I think some of the confusion comes from other brokers that do restrict scalping. Tickmill just isn’t one of them. You should be fine.
Tickmill allows scalping officially. No problems reported here.
Scalp as much as you want on Tickmill. It’s fine.
I’ve been scalping Tickmill consistently for almost 2 years, sometimes 100+ trades a day, and I’ve never had a single issue with account restrictions or warnings.
Tickmill’s policy is straightforward: scalping is allowed. No trade limits, no minimum hold times, no hidden restrictions. The account types don’t differ in this regard either.
I actually read their terms carefully before I started specifically because I wanted to avoid problems. They make it clear that scalping is a legitimate trading strategy. The only things they restrict are things like arbitrage exploitation or price feed manipulation, which are different entirely.
The rebates don’t change anything. I use GlobeGain and my account operates exactly the same.
I think a lot of the paranoia comes from traders who’ve had bad experiences with other brokers. Tickmill just operates differently. Just trade legitimately and you’ll be fine.
