ICE Markets welcomes rookie investors!
We have created this section of the site specially for you. In this section, the process of investing in our company has been explained in a concise and understandable manner. Investing is a complex and time-consuming process, which will inevitably have to be constantly studied. However, information contained in this section is enough to start work.

We know how difficult it is to come to grips with the investment process from the very beginning, and how our site might see too much loaded with information for a rookie investor.
That is why from the very beginning, we've developed an investment system that is simultaneously targeted on two different categories of investors: rookies and experienced investors.
Functional | For beginners | Skilled | Additional Information |
---|---|---|---|
Indices and manager selection | Ready-made investment portfolios (indices) made up of managers who have been selected by ICE Markets specialists. Rookies do not need to create a portfolio by themselves. They only need to invest in one of the indices. |
The investor can compile a portfolio independently from a large number of accounts and families of multi-copies of one account. |
Section of the site |
Segregation of managed account ratings | Ratings are divided by the level of professionalism of managers ("A", "B", "C"). Rookies do not need to analyze managed accounts by themselves and study all the ratings. They only need to choose among suitable A-rated managers (managers that have been selected) or portfolio manages. |
The investor can choose from among a large number of managers with different characteristics and trading systems, without being limited to a narrow range of selected A-rated managers. |
|
Rating customization | By default, a rating contains minimum parameters required for a managed account. Rookies do not need to understand the configurations and complex statistical parameters: the most necessary things are displayed by default. |
The investor can customize the rating for own needs. So many statistical parameters is available. |
|
Managed account / Portfolio page | Subsections "Main" and "Statistics (basic)" on the managed account page contain 99% of account information required by a rookie. The subsections do not contain complex statistical or trading parameters. Rookies do not need to browse through all the other subsections of the managed account page. |
Subsections "Extended statistics", "Charts", "Tools and deals", as well as options for customizing charts and statistics provide unlimited tools for analyzing managed accounts. |
|
Risk Management | The compulsory part of risk management is set up by the manager and works without additional actions by the investor. For beginners, it is easy enough to invest in a managed account without additional settings. Their losses will be limited at the level indicated on the managed account page. |
For an MAM investor, additional risk management parameters are available. An MAM investor can also change limit levels set by the manager. You can set up risk management at your own discretion. |
Section of the site |
Multiplication and standardization | All A-rated accounts have the same multi-copies, standardized by risk: any managed account with a single multiplier value (*1, *2, etc.) will be risky alike. And MA*2 will afways have two times more profit and loss than MA*1, and two times less than MA*4. |
Due to the presence of a family of a managed account multi-copies, a virtually unlimited set of portfolio combinations is available, which is ideal for a professional portfolio manager. |
Section of the site |
We have tried to simplify and automate the investment process as much as possible for those who need turnkey solutions, while at the same time giving maximum freedom of action and functionality to those who need them.
Focus on both categories of investors has been reflected in the following:
Sequence of investor's actions
Choose a method of investing: passive (indices) or active (creating a portfolio yourself)
Indecies
Rating of Indecies
Study each Index
1. "Main" and "Statistics" – yield and drawdown indicators
2. The "maximum weekly loss" indicator – your possible losses for the week
ICE Markets strongly recommends investing in the iComposite Portfolio as the most diversified and balanced.
Choose a suitable Portfolio
1. Family (iPro, iMain, iComposite)
2. Multiplier (*1, *2, ... *6)
For rookie investors, ICE Markets strongly recommends investing in the iComposite Portfolio with a multiplier value of no higher than "*4".
Risk managment is already configured
Invest funds
Up to 100% of your funds in ICE Markets can be invested in any index because each Portfolio is a full-fledged investment portfolio.
Your portfolio
A rating
For rookies who want to create portfolios themselves, ICE Markets strongly recommends investing only in A-rated managed accounts.
Study the managed accounts in question
1. "Main" and "Statistics" – yield and drawdown indicators
2. The "maximum weekly loss" indicator – your possible losses for the week
Note! Compare managed account indicators only with identical multiplier value (that is, compare "*2" account with another "*2" account, "*3" account with another "*3" account, and so on).
Choose suitable managed accounts
1. MA (Solandr, Polar, Frame, etc.)
2. Multiplier (*1, *2, ... *6)
For rookie investors, ICE Markets strongly recommends investing in managed accounts with a multiplier value of no higher than "*4".
Create portfolio from selected managed accounts
by the following rules:
1. There must be at least five managed accounts
2. All the managed accounts must have the same multiplier value (must be all "*1", or all "*2", etc.)
3. Funds must be distributed between the managed accounts in equal share
For rookie investors, ICE Markets strongly recommends investing in managed accounts with a multiplier value of no higher than "*4".
