Watch for
- Verification of self-measured performance claims
- Impact of tier 2 and tier 3 licenses
Tickmill Prime, operated by Tickmill UK Ltd, provides institutional prime-of-prime liquidity with FCA oversight. The firm holds multiple licenses across jurisdictions, including tier 1 in the UK. However, its self-measured claims of ultra-low latency and performance should be independently verified.
