Margin Call and Stop Out levels were not specified on the pages checked. The FAQ says Expert Advisors are supported on Classic and Raw (MT4/MT5); the Raw page says "all strategies allowed". A Tickmill VPS exists; its terms are not disclosed.

Strengths

  • Low Raw commission ($3 per side).
  • Explicit permission for all strategies and Expert Advisors on MT4/MT5.
  • Entities supervised by the FCA, CySEC and FSCA.

Limitations

  • Not stated which entity offers 1:1000 leverage (probably the offshore one — not specified on the site).
  • Margin Call/Stop Out levels not published on the account pages.

FOX conclusion

A low Raw commission and explicit permission for EAs on MT4/MT5. The weakness of the public conditions: it is not stated which entity offers the published leverage, and Stop Out levels are not published.

Evaluation criteria

  • regulation of the legal entity that serves the client
  • full trade cost (spread + commission) on EUR/USD and gold
  • MT4/MT5 and Expert Advisor support
  • Margin Call / Stop Out levels
  • transparency of the published conditions
