Our view of IC Markets
IC Markets stands out for an ASIC licence, 19 years of operating history, raw spreads from 0.0 pips and MetaTrader 4 and 5. Its suitability depends on the legal entity available in your country, the protection attached to that entity and whether its pricing and platform range match how you intend to trade.
No specific limitation has been recorded, but this does not remove the need to verify the account entity and terms.
