Competitive fees, with the costs in plain sight
ForexBrokers.com places IC Markets among the low-spread brokers it tracks. IC publishes the following international Forex pricing:
| Account | Spreads from | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Raw Spread · MT4/MT5 | 0.0 pips | $3.50 per lot, per side |
| cTrader / TradingView Raw | 0.0 pips | $3 per $100,000 traded, per side |
| Standard · MT4/MT5 | 0.8 pips | No Forex commission |
Spreads are advertised minima and can vary. Raw MT4/MT5 is $7 per round-turn lot for a USD account. cTrader commission is based on traded value, not a fixed Forex-lot charge. Total costs may also include swap.
