Registered in both Malaysia and the British Virgin Islands, IFC Markets is a CFD & forex broker with an unusually large selection of trading instruments, several trading platforms to choose from, and leverage that in some cases can go as high as 1:400. Further, being established all the way back in 2006, IFC is by now a broker that has gained a certain track record in the industry, and done so without any major mishaps along the way.
Perhaps most noteworthy about IFC Markets is the very wide range of assets it offers for trading. This includes not only the usual forex pairs and stock indices, but also CFDs on a whole range of commodities (both spot and futures), stocks of more than 500 publicly traded companies from Australia, North America, Europe, Russia and Asia, as well as a bitcoin futures CFD.
In addition to the instruments mentioned above, IFC Markets also offers four exchange traded funds (ETFs), which at the time of writing includes the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), iShares US Real Estate ETF (IYR), SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), and the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT).
Further, IFC Markets also has an interesting offering when it comes to trading platforms, with its own platform called NetTradeX offered in addition to the well-known MetaTrader 4 & 5 (MT4/5) platforms. And while NetTradeX is certainly less known than MetaTrader, the platform does offer a fairly advanced order management system, as well as sophisticated technical analysis tools.
Developed all the way back in 2006, however, the platform is now starting to get old, although it’s still one year younger than MT4. The relatively old age can also be seen in the platform design, which certainly has a less modern feel to it than many of the web-based platforms in use today.
Like MT4 and MT5, NetTradeX is available in a downloadable version for Windows PCs, as well as in mobile versions for most types of smartphones. Unlike MetaTrader, however, there is no web-based version for NetTradeX, which means that Mac users will have to look for other alternatives.
In terms of account types, IFC Markets offers a few different options depending on the trading platform chosen:
For the NetTradeX platform, traders can choose between the Standard-Fixed & Floating account with a USD/EUR 1,000 minimum deposit, or a Beginner-Fixed & Floating account with a USD/EUR 1 minimum deposit. Both account types on this platform have a minimum floating spread from 0.4 pips and a minimum fixed spread from 1.8 pips, allowing the trader to choose the type of spread model that best suits his or her needs.
Further, the MT4 platform offers the two account types Standard-Fixed and Micro-Fixed, which essentially are the same as the two accounts offered on NetTradeX, but with only fixed spreads available. Similarly, traders on MT5 are also offered two similar account types called Standard-Floating and Micro-Floating. As the name implies, however, these have only floating spreads available.
Trading accounts with IFC Markets can easily be funded either directly with bitcoin, via the third party solution BitWallet, or via regular bank transfer, Visa, MasterCard, and a range of popular e-wallets. However, it’s worth keeping in mind that the deposit fees vary quite a bit between the different methods, with some being processed free of charge and others with a fee of up to 2%.
Lastly, another strong selling point for this forex broker is the customer service it offers. This includes not only phone numbers, but also options like Skype, WhatsApp, Viber, and a live chat function on the broker’s website. We also appreciate that the support options are tailored for 12 different languages, including English, Russian, Spanish, Vietnamese, French, Farsi, Arabic, Hindi, Turkish, Chinese, Portugese, and Japanese.
All in all, we are of the impression that IFC Markets is an interesting player in the forex & CFD brokerage industry for traders to keep an eye on. The broker has a particularly strong offering for stock and ETF traders, and offers relatively high leverage for its clients, especially by European standards.
Customer service could be more proactive in reaching out to clients
Satisfied with the variety of assets offered and the tight spreads. Execution speed is excellent.
Have been trading with IFC Markets for 2 years, mainly focusing on EURGBP and USDJPY, I find their fixed spreads to be satisfactory. As a newbie, I've learned to avoid trading during important events to protect my funds and sanity.
Overall, I am satisfied with the faster liquidity, high leverage, quick support, and the various types of accounts offered by IFC Markets.
My overall experience has been positive thus far. The trading platform is simple to comprehend and operate. I had an issue recently and contacted customer support, and they were able to provide swift assistance and resolve my concern. I am very pleased.
They have wide choice of currency pairs, the ability to short stocks, 400x leverage, low fees, and many other features. The disadvantage for me is not enough order types, for example, there is no guaranteed stop loss.
I am satisfied with my experience with ifc markets. Payment processes are fast and reliable, and the support is always very helpful and professional.
The range of assets available on ifc markets is all you need. They have forex, stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, and precious metals futures.
I'm sure there are online brokers with better conditions, but I already got used to ifc markets: their platform, webpage and all the materials they publish. Stable and reliable.
Good scalping broker, tight spreads on EUR/USD with a commission of about 0.8 pips.
I am happy with the services they provide but wish they would fix some minor problems that happen to their terminal, maybe not very often but still.
Hi, this is my first broker, I found a lot of positive reviews on them before I open an account, I hope I can make some money in the markets.
At the moment, I invest most of my savings with the IFC Markets company. I've been investing this way for about a year now and I've already made about $1500 of extra income as a part time job, I think that's not bad as I don't actually spend much time trading.
No lagging issues and the execution is rather fast, spread is okay, so far I can recommend this broker.
I found this broker through Instagram, very strange but I am quite satisfied here, I like their promo programs.
Been using NetTradeX with IFC Markets for a few years now. The platform is great in many ways, very flexible and complete.
I have an experience dealing with ifc markets, it's an average broker type, though have some good perks, like islamic accounts, contests with bonuses.
A very good and reliable broker, account registration and verification takes only a few minutes. The support team responds well and in time, solving whatever issue you have with so much ease.
Reliable service, low trading costs, no hidden commissions.
The platform is fine. No requotes and fair commissions.
I like your app, it's fast, info is spot on, design - eye pleasing. Happy.
IFC Markets became my broker around 4 years ago, that was the best decision made! The broker is regulated, provides great service, support team always helps when I have any questions. Withdrawal is easy and fast, spreads are competitive, they arrange webinars for free, and also provide free analytics and trading ideas. A good partner, to be short.
3 years of trading and everything is still satisfying and good. Broker improves month by month, bringing something new and useful. Analytics can be helpful often, I use their nettradex platform, it is a nice one. Stable and trusted, to be short.
My fav broker, withdrawals are proceeded fast and without delays, many deposit methods, fixed spread for currencies I trade is acceptable. I'm an ifc markets customer for almost 2 years.
A reliable broker, everything works fast and smoothly, after requesting withdrawal it takes just a few days to get the money, not long. I used to trade with them for almost a year by now on a live acc, and for a month on a demo acc. Recommend trying their nettradex platform. I wish they had more bonuses.
IFC Markets is a reliable broker, they provide the most convenient ways to deposit and withdraw funds. Trading conditions are more than just suitable, but quite profitable. I hold a live account with them for 3 years, trading is not the main source of earning for me, but even in this case the profit is notable.
