The areas where LHFX offers a clear advantage over TickMill.
LHFX opens raw-spread accounts from $10. TickMill requires $100 to fund a Raw or Classic account, which is 10x higher for the same execution model.
LHFX accepts BTC, ETH and USDT for both deposits and withdrawals. TickMill removed its Bitcoin CFDs and does not support crypto funding, so traders who prefer crypto rails have no on-ramp.
LHFX processes most withdrawals automatically with a typical payout time of under 20 minutes. TickMill withdrawals are typically same business day but pass through manual review on first-time payouts.
LHFX is built around MT5 with full Expert Advisor, custom indicator and backtesting support. TickMill still leans heavily on MT4 across its onboarding and education, even though MT5 is available.
LHFX has one trading account: raw spreads from 0.0 pips with $3 per side. TickMill splits between Classic (no commission, 1.6 pip spread), Raw (commission, 0.0 spread) and VIP, which adds onboarding choices.
TickMill has genuine strengths. Here is where they come out ahead.
TickMill holds FCA (717270), CySEC (278/15), FSCA (49464), FSA Seychelles (SD008), and LFSA (Malaysia) licences. LHFX is licensed in Mauritius and South Africa, which is fit for purpose for global retail but a narrower regulator stack.
TickMill has operated since 2014/2015 and has built a strong reputation in the algo-trading and futures niche. LHFX has a shorter operating history under the LHFX brand.
TickMill supports MT4, MT5, CQG, Agena Trader, TT and WebTrader. LHFX runs MetaTrader 5 only, so heavy futures or specialist platform users get more options at TickMill.
TickMill lists 60+ currency pairs. LHFX offers 41 forex pairs focused on the most-traded majors, minors and key exotics.
