You may be new to forex, so a demo account is the ideal choice to test your trading potential. It allows you to trade with virtual money, without exposing you to any risk, as your gains and losses are simulated. Once you have tested your trading strategies, learned about market moves and how to place orders, you can take the next step to open a trading account with real money.

Who should choose MT4?

MT4 is the predecessor of the MT5 trading platform. At XM, the MT4 platform enables trading on currencies, cfds on stock indices, as well as cfds on gold and oil, but it does not offer trading on stock cfds. Our clients who do not wish to open an MT5 trading account can continue using their MT4 accounts and open an additional MT5 account at any time.

Demo trading

Now you know the basics, you have chosen your broker, and you are even ready to open a demo account.

Having a demo account means the following:

You will trade on the live market

It is for free, and you can use it as long as you want

It simulates real trading conditions, but does not expose you to risk

You trade with virtual currency – with no danger of losing real money

You can test all possible trading strategies as many times as you want

You can learn to use a trading platform at your own pace

You can learn to read charts, follow market trends, open and close orders.

Disadvantage

Demo trading only exposes you to virtual risk, so it does not really give you the feel of proper risk management. Dealing with your emotions is as important as dealing with your money. And a virtual world doesn’t involve real emotions to the full.

So how can you learn to keep emotions out of your trading decisions?

Solution

Open a demo account, use it to test the basics, and after a while open a real trading account fit for beginners with smallest minimum deposit and flexible leverage.

And now you may ask yourself: when is the best time to switch from demo to real? A reasonable question to which there is no definitive answer. Forex trading is a learning process the duration of which depends on the individual. Besides, it also depends on your investment needs, expectations, and the time you dedicate to it.

At XM, you can keep your demo account parallel to your trading account for an unlimited time. You have the freedom to use your demo account to test strategies, and then use the most effective ones on your real account.

7 REASONS TO TRADE AT XM. XM REVIEW 2021

Having tried out tons of different brokers over my years of trading, I find that none of them is even close to XM in terms of services and trading conditions. It’s actually quite surprising that not that much traders know how great XM services and trading conditions are. That is why today I will be writing this article to give you a throughout XM review – one of the best forex brokers of 2021.

Founded in 2009, XM now has over 1,500,000 clients from 196 countries which is an impressive enough number for us to trust. XM has also personally visited over 120 countries to meet with their clients and partners and hosted hundreds of seminars around the world to educate traders, enabling them to make better trading decisions. Below, I’m going to review XM based on many different criteria such as regulations, trading conditions and trading costs, trading platform , paying system and types of accounts.

Regulations of XM review

Regulation, commonly, is one of the most important things in forex market, which could indicate how reliable a broker is. Moreover, it is not easy to obtain a license of the regulation. Therefore, the brokers having the license are often trustworthy and reliable.

There are now still discussions on regulations between US&UK brokers and other brokers in the forex market. Most traders have chosen US&UK regulated brokers because they believe in US/UK financial management system. As a result, US and UK regulations are considered very good. Brokers which can acquire one of these regulations often have the best trading platforms, techniques, financial health and management systems… accordingly, XM broker is one of the best regulated brokers as it has a regulation from UK, which is FCA . It also obtains cysec from cyprus, ASIC from australia and FSB from south africa in order to serve the traders in these areas. With these regulations, XM is the most reliable broker which could protect traders in many countries from all over the world. Therefore, I can say that you can trust XM.

Trading costs and trading benefits of XM review

Trading cost

Cost of transactions is one of the most considerations of traders while joining into the forex market. Apparently, traders often prefer the brokers which have reasonable and low cost of transactions, especially scalpers who have many transactions at a time.

Accordingly, XM has the low spreads like FXCM and forex.Com, US and UK brokers. The spread is 1.7 pip for a EUR/USD for trading regular accounts. And 6$ commission for trading ECN account (other brokers charge around $7 for trading ECN account). Moreover, XM has the loyalty program. It will rebate an amount of money to your account automatically when you finish a lot/transaction. The rebated amount depends on your trading currencies, account types and trading time. This program is mostly preferred by the professional traders as it could minimize the transaction cost effectively.

Trading benefits

In forex system, XM lots back $3 (0.3 pip) to 10$ (1 pip) for each completed transaction and the rebated amount will increase by time for each trading lot. After the lot-back bonus, cost of transactions is now lower than FXCM and forex.Com brokers and spreads are decreased down to only 1 to 1.4 pips.

Moreover, XM also has the deposit bonus, which allows you to get money depending on how much you deposit it. This deposit bonus program can reduce your trading costs even more. You can get up to $5000 from their deposit bonus program, with the maximum deposit rate being 100%.

In short, it can be said that the original spread and commission are similar with other brokers. However, in fact, the actual cost is much lower after many completed transactions thanks to the lot-back bonuses and the deposit bonus. And there you have it, a broker with high-quality regulation (UK) yet has low transaction cost.

XM markets is one of the best in europe

According to finance magnates, brokers now have to compete with each other to build a good percentage of customers with good profit/loss ratio to support marketing and advertisement. To do this, brokers must provide many good resources for customers, while improving customer training. Brokers who use tricks to market, attract new customers, ignorant customers . Are currently having difficulty operating in europe because of the new ESMA law. Based on a survey conducted by finance magnates, XM markets is currently in the top 5 brokers with most profited customers in europe. Clients of XM markets lose money less than hundreds of other brokers in the world and they certainly make more profits.

Trading platforms of XM review

XM has the best up-to-date trading platform with automatic transfer system. Their trading platform can be used either on PC, smartphone or tablet and still doesn’t lose it performance. Personally, I find XM trading platform to be generally great with nothing to be complaining about. XM simply offers you all the tools that you’d need in order to make profits.

Payment system of XM review

In common, traders are usually not concerned about the payment system. This is a rookie mistake but understandable. They can only realize the importance of the payment system when they start depositing or withdrawing their win money. Most trusted forex brokers are overseas so when they transfer money, it can cost you some money to transfer. Some countries are very strict in order to transfer money over sea. It's even illegal to transfer money to forex brokers. Some payment methods are costly. In asia, if you make payment over sea by credit card, they will charge you around 1.7 - 4% in total. So, that why traders must choose brokers which have local payment methods to save deposit/withdrawal cost.

A good payment system will be really helpful for traders and it should be fast, free, and unlimited. These standards below are also the most common of the good payment systems:

Fast deposit and withdrawal

Local payment supported

Low or even free-of-charge fee for deposit or withdrawal

High minimum withdrawal limitations

It could be said in person that XM broker has the best payment system in asian countries such as china, thailand, indonesia. They allow traders to deposit through many free different international payment methods like: credit/debit cards, neteller, skrill, webmoney, perfectmoney, bitcoin, alipay, nganluong wallet. They have local banks such as: bank central asia, bank mandiri, bank negara indonesia, bank CIMB NIAGA, bank rakyat (indonesia), bangkok bank, bank of ayudhya, kasikorn bank, krung thai bank, siam commercial bank, kbank mobile banking (thailand).

Customer support of XM review

BRKV - needless to say, customer support is among one of the most important criteria for choosing a broker. It is obvious that the field of forex is very complicated, so traders will need as much help as possible. From my experience, there is nothing to complain about XM’s customer services since it’s been a smooth journey for me with no technical errors or any discomfort. If your native language isn’t english, it shouldn’t really be a problem for you as XM offers supports for well over 30 languages. Languages such as thai, chinese, indonesian, vietnamese, etc. Are always supported 24/7 and those countries also have local banking supports as well.

Account types of XM review

There are currently 3 account types offered by XM: micro, standard and zero, each designed to different trading needs. Micro account is always popular among new traders and beginners. Standard account is more suitable for regular uses and zero account is specifically for experts only.

XM micro account

The micro account is suitable for beginners with commission-free and the low spread . The minimum deposit is just $5, but the leverage is up to 1:888, which is relatively high. All accounts allow 200 orders at a time, and pending positions are included, with the negative balance protection from XM.

Check XM micro account here.

XM standard account

The standard account is for the experienced traders. The condition is similar to the micro account, but there are still notable differences: the offered contract size is a hundred time bigger - 100,000 for 1 lot. The minimum trading lots are equal for both MT platforms, and the lot restriction per ticket is 50 - a half compared to the micro account.

Check XM standard account here.

XM ultra low account

XM’s newest account, the ultra low account, is the total game changer. It offers trader the lowest spreads ever in XM (which is 0.7 pip) and even no commission. The base currency options are EUR, USD, GBP, AUD, ZAR, and SGD. You can choose the contract size as both micro and standard account. The highest leverage is 1:888.

There is also the XM islamic account for clients who follow the muslim faith. They are the free-swap type of account for islam traders.

XM trading assets

Sometimes, people don't just trade currency pairs. When the market is too volatile because of big news or important events, you shouldn't trade forex. As a result, traders will look for other trading assets. A good forex broker must be able to provide a wide range of trading products for their clients. Let's take a look at all trading assets of XM:

50+ currency pairs

Stock cfds

Commodities such as cocoa, coffee, soy beans, or wheat.

Equity indices

Precious metals: gold and silver

Energies

XM trading advices

All in all, it’s in my opinion that XM is a great broker that should be recognized more. At first, their trading conditions seem to be just as good as the other US/UK brokers. But they also offer many different and beneficial bonus programs to help you reduce your trading costs. Together with other great features, they are surely one of the top best forex brokers . Moreover, XM has been around the forex market since 2009 and still, they haven’t got caught up in any shady business rumors. Their customers are always satisfied with their services and trading conditions and have no reason to ever leave their service. I myself am a long-time customer of XM as well so I can safely say that you can’t really go wrong trading with XM. In case any of you are still confused, I have a little advice below that are based on my experiences and time with XM broker:

Micro account is a great trading environment if you want to learn more about the forex market.

Cryptocurrency trading conditions are the best. Take advantage of it.

XM should support payments via your local bank so if your local bank is supported, you should always utilize it since it doesn’t cost any fee.

Day time spread in XM is always lower than night time’s spread. Thus, trading in daytime seems like a more sensible decision.

XM trading experience

Having traded forex for 5 years now and 2 years of that with XM, I think I would like to share my XM trading experience. XM is a great broker. It is certainly reliable, just as I mentioned before. What I find most wonderful about XM is that they have really low prices. With the ultra low account, you can easily cut down your trading cost and keep your trades cheap. Moreover, XM hostes great educational seminars. I attended some, actually. They can help you so much in forex trading.

How we ranked fees

We ranked XM's fee levels as low, average or high based on how they compare to those of all reviewed brokers.

First, let's go over some basic terms related to broker fees. What you need to keep an eye on are trading fees and non-trading fees.

Trading fees occur when you trade. These can be commissions, spreads, financing rates and conversion fees.

Non-trading fees include charges not directly related to trading, like withdrawal fees or inactivity fees.

In the sections below, you will find the most relevant fees of XM for each asset class. For example, in the case of forex and stock index trading, spreads, commissions and financing rates are the most important fees.

We also compared XM's fees with those of two similar brokers we selected, XTB and etoro. This selection is based on objective factors such as products offered, client profile, fee structure, etc. See a more detailed rundown of XM alternatives.

To have a clear overview of XM, let's start with the trading fees.

XM trading fees

XM trading fees are average. XM has many account types, which all differ in pricing. The standard, micro, and ultra low accounts charge higher spreads but there is no commission. The XM zero account charges lower spreads, but there is a commission. The following calculations were made using the standard account.

We know it's hard to compare trading fees for CFD brokers. So how did we approach the problem of making their fees clear and comparable? We compared brokers by calculating all the fees of a typical trade for selected products.

We chose popular instruments within each asset class:

Stock index cfds: SPX and EUSTX50

Stock cfds: apple and vodafone

Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP

A typical trade means buying a leveraged position, holding it for one week and then selling. For volume, we chose a $2,000 position for stock index and stock cfds, and $20,000 for forex transactions. The leverage we used was:

20:1 for stock index cfds

5:1 for stock cfds

30:1 for forex

These catch-all benchmark fees include spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers. Let's see the verdict for XM fees.
