Ironclad Markets Review

About Ironclad Markets

Ironclad Markets, also referred to as IC Investing Ltd or Ironclad Investments, operates the domains ironcladmarkets.com and ironcladmarkets.co.uk and is not authorised by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA); the FCA issued a warning stating the firm may be providing financial services without permission and should be avoided .

The broker claims registration with the financial regulator in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG FSA), but this registration is listed as “Cancelled,” and SVG FSA does not regulate forex brokers. Therefore, Ironclad Markets lacks any valid regulatory licence .

Available information indicates trading platform access via MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and cTrader with offerings in forex, indices, metals, oil, commodities, CFDs, and crypto. Reported features include ECN/STP execution, institutional raw spreads, competitive spreads, and low commissions; however, these claims are unverified via regulatory filings , .

The company’s address is listed as Suite 305, Griffith Corporate Centre, Beachmont, Kingstown, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. According to third-party data, account types may include ECN, PRO, and STANDARD, with minimum deposit thresholds around £10,000 / $10,000 / €10,000, maximum leverage reportedly at 1:100, commission structures such as USD $6 / EUR €5 / GBP £4.5 per lot, and instrument availability including indices, metals, and oil .
