The spreads are 2 pips for Classic and 0.5 pips for Gold and Premium accounts. The tighter spreads on higher-tier accounts make sense for higher volume trading.
Since IMS Markets is regulated and has a verified physical office in Cyprus, I consider it a legitimate and relatively safe broker. However, as always, I keep in mind the inherent risks of trading fixed income securities and trade carefully.
IMS Markets focuses on fixed income products like Agency/GSE Bonds, Corporate Bonds, Fixed-Rate Capital Securities, Structured Products, and Asset-Backed Securities.
There are three account types—Classic, Gold, and Premium—with different minimum deposits, spreads, and commission fees. This tiered structure helped me choose according to my trading needs.
