Reply by Chris Zacharia submitted Nov 17, 2016 Dear Kandeel,
XM is offering 30 USD non deposit bonus for specific regions.
Please kindly note, that this bonus is given to the clients to start trading without even depositing money.In addition, the profits, which are made with a help of 30 USD non deposit bonus can be withdrawn.

Zero cost ECN = 10usd per lot round turn, slippage, bad execution and dcs.
Ff you also trade 5 lots+ on a trade. Its a guarantee you will have slippage. Go to support they will say market execution blabla trading at lower hours blabla or news blabla occurs slippage. Set .1 and no slippage and setting 5 lots slippage.. ofc XM very fair.
Two start for high promotions to attract people and offering back brokerage service.
Disappointing XM.

so far so good
Best regards
Very good broker
Best broker for serious traders. thanks XM thanks
overview
Average company
BUT
- execution is really slow, market freezes for seconds! I encountered freezing with 14secs.
- it's not a problem for me it a company is MM but I personally hate it when I can clearly seen the modification of things
- spreads are wide but it's okay if you're a long term trader
All in all, I consider them as a average company which has the space to grow.
Good & Honest
xm.com free 30 USD accout shows that xm.com is actually a scam broker, very dodgy situation with trades hijacked
https://s9.postimg.org/5osarpo5r/Immagine_xm_scam.png
As you can see the trade is in profit, the trailing stop is working but the trade does not show profit, just show 0.00.
So basically xm.com says to the traders, join me and I give you 20 GBP for free to trade but you cannot actually trade. What game are they playing at? After this experience I have decided to stay away from them. This thing that happened to me makes me think that they can seriously manipulate clients orders. Trust me, stay away.

Please kindly note, that you have opened a MICRO account and you have been trading the minimum lot size, which is 0.01 lot.
If you are trading 0.01 lot in MICRO account, then for every pip of market you gain or lose 0.001 USD, which is not even 1 cent.
To gain or lose at least 1 cent, you need to have 10 pips of market change and then your profit or loss of 1 cent will be displayed on your MT4 account.
In the screenshot you provided, we can see that the difference is 3 pips and the value of this is 0.003, so that is the reason why it was not shown on MT4 platform, because MT4 only shows 2 decimal numbers.

Account for cut off during EUR/USD spike?
Scamers
They do not scam only the high capital people coz scared to be cout by regulators!

They will find reasons to make profitable traders leave
I had invited my best friend of to their company, and after they noticed that he had 3-4 good trades in this year, they decided to make him go away, lowering his leverage 9 times and cancelling any available bonus that the company is offering in every deposit.
The ''reason '' was that he was trading news announcements, abusing their NBP (?).
But the fact is that he traded only the nonfarm payrolls in the last five months (1 time a month is abusing????) and he had been simply profitable.
My self has traded much more times news in the same period of time but everything is OK (obviously because my deposits are much higher than my withdrawals!!).
The most hypocritical of all was that the very same person who was speaking with the most delicate way to my friend (I had been in front of my best friend when this manager had been calling him at his first months in the company and hear them speaking), now he was cold as ice, giving as de facto the decision of the company, based on the known ''explanations'' of abuse during news trading...
So XM is not so serious after all...
I now know that what will happen to me too, and to everyone, when we will make some money.
The company wants only the loosers as customers.
Aug 9, 2016 - 5 Stars True Negative balance protection.
Mostly tight spreads and many leverage options
No restrictions on trading strategies
Fast withdrawals
Excellent bonus system
I really cannot find anything bad on XM.
(Maybe they could offer higher leverage in some indices!)

Good overall, just not good spreads.
The payment process went smoothly and withdrawal was also done within an hour or two using Skrill/Neteller.
I was able to trade during NFP news as well as interest rate news. The platform will freeze on you if you have TOO MANY charts open during such events, even during non-news but highly active market. This should be kept in mind. Keep minimum charts open for such high events.
The pings to their servers are amazing for me. 150-190 ms, since some are located in London and perhaps other locations too.
Withdrawal is very fast, take only few minutes.
Time goes... though i am still trade with them in small capital occasionally, but now i prefer to trade ECN. Such a pity the don't offer it.
Of course i would recommended XM to anybody. To avoid future problem - and also with another brokers - make sure you fill anything with the right documents during register process, and you will be fine.
I have suffered a loss in its early stages.
For me there are some weaknesses in this company but I still recommend this company can be trusted.
No one in this world is perfect.
My recommendation to anyone who wants to negative comments that include evidence as an example chat with customer assistance so no confusion to those who want to get information.
I do not support these companies, but I want another investor the right to information so they can make informed decisions.
For the new investor, believe that forex trading is very risky, easier to make a profit and also easy to lose.
BAD like all others Forex company's!
They hang the market (WHAT I #BUY/SELL# when the price going (Up or Down) to do not late us won anything!
The hanging time is more than 3 MIN & I already have print screen about this.
Other thing, they do not have any Live Supporting in Arabic Language...
I am trying to speak with some one in this company more than 3 weeks and until now, NO ANSWERS!
MY REAL ACCOUNT IN (XM): 14115844

so racist

Really Great and trusted
I don't have any problem with them at all !!
Deposit is fast, Withdrawing without any problem and quick. No fee at all when deposit or withdrawing !!
Also they have great rewarding system

Bad experience!! It's purely a market maker broker. in the website they said they allow news trader. there is once i place a pending order before news, they keep removing all my pending orders and doesnt allow me to place before news. When i complaint they said they dont allow us to place pending orders before news!
TODAY, i wanted to trade RBA rate cut too. I have entered a sell trade and my trade was profiting. the moment i close the trade, my trade was around 130+ profits, but after closed it, i check back the history the trade was closed with negative. at the moment i close the trade the market is not moving very fast anymore!!!!!!!!
so means they dont allow me to trade news!

It genuinely surprises that my experience with XM has been generally excellent apart from the occasional customer service gaff.
The spreads aren't the best in the world but after factoring in XM's consistency of execution, low slippages etc then XM are actually cheaper to trade with than many other brokers especially after XMP (see below). What I like most is the peace of mind I get, I am able to leave my experts running in the confidence nothing untoward will occur in my absence.
The cent account functions exactly the same as a standard account and is an excellent tool for testing systems.
Additionally, XM offers a real-time XMP lot based bonus system so I receive rebates daily which is nice. I still have an ECN account with another broker but I will continue to use XM for as long as their service remains so robust.
Please note: I have traded close to 10000 trades with this broker over the past few years.
2015-12-24 2 Stars XM is an excellent broker for traders who haven't learnt how to make money trading the markets. As soon as a trader graduates from being a loser to being a consistent winner, XM will cause you many many problems with the usual bucket shop tactics.
The micro accounts are useful and a low-cost way to forward test strategies, I prefer to forward test on a live account vs demo account so using a micro means the losses and profits are in the pence/cents. Beyond this, if you can afford it use an ECN broker all the time.
Rebuttal: Added by Chris A. Zacharia on 2015-12-31
Content: Dear Max,
I am glad to hear that you have found our micro accounts to be useful but at the same time I was surprised to read your comment about the "bucket shop tactics". Can you please elaborate on that?
XM is a reputable financial institution and we value every single client. If you have experienced any issues, I kindly ask to share your MT4 ID and post any specific concerns that you might have.
Kind regards,
Andrey - Official Representative of XM (Trading Point of Financial Instruments Ltd.)
