Why IC Markets

Key features for US30 traders.

Raw Spreads

IC Markets' Raw Spread account offers institutional-grade pricing on US30, averaging $0.05โ€“$0.10 during peak liquidity. The commission is a flat $3.50 per lot per side ($7 round trip). During US market hours, spreads regularly tighten further โ€” making IC Markets one of the cheapest brokers for US30 in most conditions.

Fast Execution

Orders are executed from Equinix NY4, LD5, and TY3 data centers with average execution speed under 40ms. For US30 scalpers who need to enter and exit quickly around news events, this speed difference translates directly into better fills and less slippage compared to slower brokers.

cTrader + MT4/MT5

cTrader offers Level II pricing, advanced order types, and the fastest execution of the three platforms โ€” ideal for scalping US30. MT5 is best for EAs and automated strategies. MT4 remains the most popular choice with the largest indicator library. All three are available on desktop, web, and mobile.

ASIC Regulated

IC Markets holds an Australian Financial Services License (AFSL 335692) from ASIC โ€” one of the world's strictest regulators. Client funds are segregated at Westpac and National Australia Bank. This provides genuine protection: if IC Markets were to become insolvent, your funds would be held separately from company assets.

Deep Liquidity

IC Markets aggregates pricing from 25+ liquidity providers including banks and non-bank market makers. This deep liquidity pool means tighter spreads, larger order sizes without market impact, and minimal slippage even during volatile events like FOMC or NFP. Institutional traders choose IC Markets for this reason.

ECN Pricing Model

As a true ECN broker, IC Markets doesn't trade against you. Your orders are matched against the liquidity pool at the best available price. There's no dealing desk intervention, no requotes, and no conflict of interest. This transparency is particularly important for US30 traders who need to trust that their fills are genuine.

Setup guide

Set up US30 on IC Markets.

01

Open a Raw Spread account

Go to icmarkets.com and select "Raw Spread" as your account type. Choose MT4, MT5, or cTrader as your platform. For US30 trading, we recommend cTrader for scalping or MT5 for swing trading. Complete the identity verification (usually approved within 24 hours).

02

Fund your account

IC Markets accepts bank transfer, credit/debit card, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, and crypto deposits. There's no minimum deposit, but we recommend starting with at least $500 for US30 trading โ€” this gives enough margin for proper position sizing with reasonable stop-losses.

03

Add US30 to your watchlist

Open your platform, navigate to Market Watch (MT4/MT5) or Finder (cTrader). Search for "US30" or look under Indices. Right-click and add to your watchlist. Open a chart, set your preferred timeframe (H1 or M15 for day trading), and add your indicators.

04

Configure your risk settings

Set your default lot size based on your account balance. For a $1,000 account trading US30, 0.01 lots ($0.10/point) is appropriate. Set one-click trading for fast execution. Add economic calendar alerts in MT5 or use ForexFactory to track FOMC, CPI, and NFP dates.
