Our overall Verdict on Tickmill
A trustworthy broker with MT4 and MT5 support and two of the lowest-cost trading accounts in the industry, Tickmill provides a perfect trading environment for serious beginners and more experienced traders. However, although Tickmill is regulated by the South African FSCA, South African traders will be onboarded through Tickmill’s Seychelles-based entity, which offers less protection.
Tickmill provides two commission-based accounts with low spreads (0.0 pips on the EUR/USD) and some of the lowest commissions in the industry. A standard account is also available, with no commission and spreads starting at 1.6 pips on the EUR/USD. Education and market analysis are both excellent and experienced traders will appreciate the wide range of currency pairs.
Overall, while Tickmill’s standard account is more expensive than other similar brokers, the two low-cost commission accounts make it an excellent choice of broker for Metatrader users looking for a new broker.
Our overall Verdict on Axiory
With a wide range of trading accounts available on three of the most popular trading platforms (MT4, MT5, and cTrader), Axiory appeals to beginner traders with its low minimum deposit requirements and strong educational support.
Axiory's educational and market analysis materials are well-organized, detailed, and in-depth, a real benefit to beginner traders. Webinars are run bi-weekly by industry experts, and Axiory's trading academy offers courses, articles, and tutorials, among other materials.
Axiory offers a wide range of tradable assets, including over 60 Forex pairs. All trading accounts have a minimum deposit of 10 USD, and trading costs that range between 8 USD and 18 USD per lot of EUR/USD traded, which is average compared to other brokers.
One drawback is that although Axiory is an international broker, it is only regulated by the IFSC in Belize – so regulatory oversight is weak compared to other similar brokers.
