My experience with IC Market is probably a little bit different than most of my peers. A few years ago, I started trading and was super confident I was gonna make a fortune. But apparently, I was too careless and ended up losing a bunch of money. I was scared to go into trading again, but my friend told me to learn more about it if I want to start again. I stumbled upon IC Markets a few months later, and I found out they have a great educational program for new traders. I joined their webinars, and their podcast, and study everything I can about trading. Soon, I gained my confidence back. I'm still a beginner for now, but I'm better and wiser.

So I keep having problems trying to withdraw from my account, I use bank transfer by the way. This is a recent issue with ICMarkets, in the beginning, it is always very smooth. The problems have occurred several times during the last 4 months. But, this time is very bad because the amount of money I am withdrawing is a lot, I'm not going to disclose the amount tho. So, I decided to contact customer service this time. It took a while until they finally reached back. However, I am glad that they took the matter very seriously and fix the problem within a day. Glad I decided to do that. Still, I really wish they would take precautions and not let this happen again considering I often withdraw my money.

Basically, Blueberry Market has everything you ever need in a broker. Remember, this is just based on my experience trading with this broker for about a year. Execution speed is one of the best all over the market, really great if you are a short-term trader like myself. There are a lot of trading instruments to choose from and most of them offer tight spreads. I'd say it is such a great deal in one package. Deposit is super quick but the withdrawal can be a little slow sometimes. But I don't mind as long I still get my money in a timely manner.

IC Market has been making me frustrated lately! For some reason, I keep having trouble withdrawing. It's as if they don't want me to get my money at all. The fact that it has been happening more than once got me considering moving to another broker. They keep telling me that they 'lost my fund', whatever that means. They are trying to frame it as if it's my problem when it's supposed to be THEIR responsibility. They should be able to locate my money, after all, they are the ones that keep it. It's been two months and I am losing all hopes.

There are some server errors when I'm using a demo account. The good news is, I haven't experienced it during the two months I'm using a live account, which is a good thing. Although I've read that a lot of people experienced server errors during news releases, we'll just have to see. Despite that, there are several things that I don't really like. The commissions are too high, 20% of the profit when the trade is in earnings, but also when they are at a loss. I think it should be only at 10%. But the order executions are good, so there is that. Right now I'm still undecided whether to like IC Markets or not, so I gues for now I'll give it 3 stars.

I have tested IC Markets for a while, I used their MT4/MT5 account to be exact. What I can conclude is everything goes very smoothly and seems pretty legit. For a side note, I've only tested them a short while with a small account.

IC Markets suddenly told me that I couldn't withdraw my money from 1 week prior. I don't know if it is real or a scam? As long as I know, there are no problems regarding this before. Everything seems to be going smoothly, although I have to say that my last transactions took a really long time. But it still arrived in my account safely despite it taking longer than usual. I did try to contact customer support, but it took too long to answer. I wonder if anyone has experienced this lately? So far I think IC Markets is an honest broker.

Okay, when I first traded with IC Markets I was pretty happy. They offer me the best price on everything, such a good deal for a great service. However, this has changed now. These days, they will do all they can to get your money. That's not the only thing I hate, now they also have ridiculous spreads, slippage, and even moving money within their platform. Another bad thing I notice is, that whenever I put a buy stop in, or sell stop the trade always starts early and ends early. This is really bad.

I have been trading with Pepperstone for a while now, and I think they are great. For example, they didn't lie when they said they have great order executions. The low latency they provide is actually really good, really recommended. Have only had to speak with customer service a few times and they've always been great. They have a great response time and the way they handle the issue is really professional. They also have a lot of good features (like trading tools, etc) for traders. Also the instruments they offers is plenty, so you'll have a lot of choices here.

It's a good thing IC Markets has live chat features, so I can quickly send a chat whenever I found something wrong happening with my traders. However, I do hope the team can replay sooner since it's really necessary sometimes. I mean, what is the point of having live chat features if they didn't replay quickly?
