Frequently Asked Questions
Is Tickmill regulated?
Yes. Tickmill is authorised by FSA, issued to the entity Tickmill Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official FSA public register.
What is the minimum deposit for Tickmill in Philippines?
The cover charge is $100, the smallest amount Philippines traders need to open a live account with Tickmill under FSA rules.
What leverage does Tickmill offer in Philippines?
In Philippines, FSA rules cap Tickmill at 1:500 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is Tickmill safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: Tickmill cooks under FSA. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
