I’m thinking about opening a Tickmill account specifically for scalping and I want to hear real experiences from people actually trading there, not just marketing speak.
What are the actual pros and cons you’ve run into? I’m interested in everything: platform reliability, spread consistency, customer support responsiveness, and how the rebates have affected your bottom line.
I’m also curious whether you’ve compared Tickmill to other brokers for scalping and what made you stick with it (or leave it). The decision feels important and I’d rather learn from what others have already tested than waste time on my own.
Spreads okay platform stable rebates decent nothing special.
Used them two years execution reliable left for better rebates.
I’ve been using Tickmill for scalping since last year. Honestly, the biggest pro is that it just works. You don’t get surprises with execution or platform crashes.
The cons are minor things like the interface feels a bit dated and customer support takes time to respond. But for scalping those aren’t dealbreakers.
Rebates have been solid. I’m getting back enough that it justifies staying with them instead of switching around.
Used Tickmill for scalping. Pros: tight execution, doesn’t requote much, rebates are decent with GlobeGain. Cons: fewer trading pairs than bigger brokers, withdrawal takes 2-3 days sometimes.
Comparison wise, I tested FxPro and Tickmill side by side for a month. Tickmill had slightly better spreads, FxPro had faster withdrawals. For pure scalping though, Tickmill edges it out.
Rebates made the biggest difference for me. Without them I probably would’ve moved on. With them the total cost justifies staying.
The platform stability is underrated. I switched to Tickmill because my previous broker kept crashing during news events. That alone made scalping possible again.
Spreads are competitive and rebates stack up fast if you’re trading frequently. The downside is they’re stricter on account types and verification took longer than other brokers.
