Frequently Asked Questions
As an IC Markets Pro account holder you are considered a wholesale client and not a retail client. This gives you access to different trading conditions. To become a IC Markets Pro client, you have to meet the "wholesale client" eligibility criteria under the Corporations Act and are expected to have a more sophisticated understanding of complex financial products.
If you’re not eligible for IC Markets Pro account, you can still access and trade thousands of financial instruments using a retail IC Markets account. You can continue to trade with the full retail client protection. You'll still benefit from our tight spreads, fast execution and industry-leading support.
Only clients that are new to IC Markets will need to first open a standard CFD trading account before applying for a IC Markets Pro account. If you already have a CFD account with us, you can apply for a IC Markets Pro account now, if you think you may be eligible.
If you are eligible and approved as a IC Markets Pro, retail trading restrictions according to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in Australia won't apply to you.
Please note that you will lose some retail-only protections if you become a wholesale client.
Yes, you can use your trading history from other accounts and even other brokers.
