My apologies then. That said, you have PAMMs currently in place? Like I said, I'm definitely interested in investing some money with a couple of them given their apparent longevity and low drawdown per your MyFXBook uploads.However, I strongly prefer to have the PAMM I'm invested with hosted at ICM if at all possible due to having the preponderance of my Forex capital at that broker and its superior trading environment (especially vis a vis FXCM).

Haha, yeah, you're definitely right about that, totally missed the 2 second average duration, good catch.

Very much interested in investing some money in this seemingly robust, long term system.I don't suppose you'd consider setting up a PAMM/MAM at IC Markets?

Hi Archie,Though I recognize there is a conflict of interest in my review of IC Market's trading conditions as an IB, I can likewise affirm that they have, thus far, the best retail space trading environment that I've yet encountered. Further, IC Markets has consistently been one of the consistently highest rated brokers across many review sites. That said however, I of course recommend that people do their own due diligence and homework with small real accounts. Definitely keep us posted on the performance of your test accounts, including any issues you may encounter. IC Markets is mo...

Excellent, keep me posted!

Sounds good dunk! Glad to know that my funds can be reliably and promptly withdrawn from ICM; easily one of the most if not the most important trait of any broker; the best trading conditions in the world will avail you nothing if you can't extract your profits after all, haha.By the way, those who still can't see the IC Markets website likely need to flush their DNS.If you are having this issue, close your browsers, then flush your DNS per these instructions: http://docs.cpanel.net/twiki/bin/view/AllDocumentation/ClearingBrowserCache

It is ultimately up to the IB to decide how much he or she wishes to rebate back, and further, how much he or she wishes to serve his clients. Sometimes there is actual value added on the IB's side; HFT Group offers some excellent customer support for example. Always keep in mind that the size of the discount isn't always the only consideration. Further it is ultimately up to the client to research the various offerings available (much like brokers!) and decide which appeals most to him.That said, I think everyone's made their peace and we can get back to the substance of this thre...

I sincerely hope that there's no hard feelings.I'm definitely interested in hearing more details Relaxtrader; if the greater performance was due to better trade conditions as opposed to differing feeds, I would be surprised.Further, how long did your Autotrade account run at ICM?

IC Markets på Allmänt Oct 28, 2013 at 02:38

Jon, per my PM to you, I agree I should have showed the courtesy of being explicit about ICM's no IB swapping policy sooner than I was, and I apologize to both you and steve for this. Furthermore, I entirely agree with you that clients should remain with their initial IBs regardless of broker policy out of a sense of propriety and fairness; it's only right.Above all, it is not my intent to knowingly promote my IB deal to the existing clients of other IBs.

IC Markets på Allmänt Oct 28, 2013 at 02:21

Please note the chronological/posting order of the posts you are referring to. I must insist on further discussions taking place via PM to avoid thread derailment.

IC Markets på Allmänt Oct 28, 2013 at 02:05

Hi Jon, welcome to the thread. Please note that this is not an invitation to swap IBs, and I do not condone this practice. Further, IC Markets does not permit any such swapping. I was not aware of steve's enrolment with an IB at the time he made his query about getting my discount. The intent was to communicate that I offered a higher than standard discount, not to 'poach'. Please PM me for any further discussion to be had on this matter.Getting the thread back on topic, Relaxtrader if I might ask, which autotrader system were you using at ICM? The difference in performance may wel...

I'm still around man. As for the rate change, you'd have to ask Support or Accounts.And thanks for the first hand comparison; seems like ICM really is the place to be so far as spreads go.

IC Markets på Allmänt Oct 22, 2013 at 21:59

Steve, it should be noted that this feed situation is actually not a big issue; IC Markets switched over to an auxiliary/back up Currenex feed as a precaution against Integral's (their main feed provider) ISP issues. By the market close today, this situation should be resolved upon Integral's confirmation. That said, the current feed is reliable, with the only material difference being a slightly higher spread until the main feed comes back online today.

Guys, please try to keep the posts on topic. This is a thread pertaining to feedback about IC Market's trade environment: what's good about it and how it can improve.

IC Markets på Allmänt Oct 17, 2013 at 06:25

I personally offer the $1.55 / RTL discount per that signature link. Yes, it is higher than the typical $1.50 / RTL for a final commission of $5.45 / RTL. That may not be a big difference but it does add up over time, especially if you're a high volume trader.As far as review manipulation goes, what I would be concerned about is competition trying to slander; I'm not saying that's the case necessarily, but when these sorts of accusations come up without proof, you can be sure there's a pretty good chance that this might be happening.Cheers,Kyle

IC Markets på Allmänt Oct 17, 2013 at 05:58

Good observations Steve, thanks for collating all that data and research; I very much look forward to your slippage report.With regards to the cost of trading at ICM, it can be further reduced by a discount of $1.55 USD or equivalent / RTL over the standard $1.50 USD / RTL per my signature. I definitely invite you to take advantage of this for your test accounts.As a client of ICM I can tell you first hand that the platform freezes when they were an issue were due to overcapacity; the broker's client base grew too large, too quickly, and the servers were getting overwhelmed. Since new serv...

Hey Vontogr, it is possible to get a substantial rebate on the standard commission cost per my signature. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.I appreciate all the feedback guys. I will definitely pass on the information you've thoughtfully provided DunkDenk; Angus, their head of business development, is always looking for things to improve on.
