5 star IC Markets review by Giu, Switzerland

IC Markets is in my opinion the best broker you can find on the market at the moment. Their support is always online and really always superfast and helpful. Also, the spreads and order execution works flawlessly. Deposit and withdrawal also go smoothly. Weaknesses I see in the limits of the number of accounts that can be created. Unfortunately, even created accounts (demo) can no longer be deleted, so that you eventually get to the limit. All in all very recommendable!

Arrogant & Unprofessional

Reluctant to answer your questions if you are from Asia, especially from China, while you are requesting Live Support by using English.

Open live chat contacted support and they are very helpful

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
My account had some old bank account details, not sure how to remove it. Connected live chat support turn out just need to email account team.

Very helpful and quick response.

Also, price feed for IC Market are very good. I do have account with other broker, where some trades got spike out in other broker, in IC Market price was not showing those spike. So I compare other big broker like from fund account IC Market are the same with them.

Highly recommanded IC Market if you are concern about price manipulations!!
