IC Markets App checklist

Brokers may provide a proprietary mobile app, mobile versions of third-party platforms such as MetaTrader or cTrader, or a combination. Start by checking Ic Markets' official website for its current list of mobile options, then locate the matching listings in your device's app store and confirm the publisher name matches the broker or the official platform developer. Counterfeit trading apps exist, so never install an app from a link in an unsolicited message. Note which app corresponds to which account type, since a login for one platform generally does not work on another.

Mobile apps often carry a reduced feature set compared with desktop platforms, and the differences matter most during fast markets. Using a demo account, test the order types you actually rely on, including stop losses, take profits, and any pending order types, and check how position modification works on a small screen. Review charting capability, alert options, and whether the app keeps you logged in or requires frequent re-authentication. Also test behaviour on a weak connection, because order handling during interruptions is a practical risk for mobile-first traders.

A trading app is also an access point to your money, so review its security options before going live. Check what login protections are available, whether biometric or two-step verification can be enabled, and how the broker handles device changes or lost phones. Confirm whether deposits and withdrawals can be initiated from the app or require the web client area, and read the broker's current fee and margin documents rather than relying on summaries. Our full Ic Markets review and the broker comparison tool can help you place what you find alongside other reviewed brokers.
