How can I use some delay in the market execution? When market execution of order by clicking the mouse on the button buy/sell, I only send the order to the current market price. Then liquidity providers executed at the current market price and all Internet delays only worsen the exercise price.
It turns out that the company does not take the deal on the liquidity providers, and is engaged only in imitation of trade. And any profits are paid out of his own pocket. And therefore cancels profit under any pretext.
Dear traders looking for a Serious companies that do not deal with the abolition of profit clients.
I'll ask another question regulator. I wonder how it relates to the behavior of such a policy of the company.
My аccount XM no. 2209315
Sorry for my English.

I received an email telling me in no uncertain terms that I was exploiting their service by using latency trading! I have responded with a formal complaint and received another email repeating their previous accusations and offering no evidence or explanation whatsoever. I have worked really hard at getting my trading knowledge to this point and am disgusted that a broker like this can simply cancel profits on a whim, citing no evidence and expect clients to just walk away! Disgusting. absolutely disgusting. I've submitted a complaint to the OCA in Cyprus.

I opened a trade with 6.0 lots, when the trade was executed, it was 60.0 lots. I dont know how they did this, but it wiped out my account.
The last 3 trades were with 6.0 lots, and before that I used a 5.0 lot. Yet, the very last trade opens for 60.0 and wipes out my account, and no cooperation at all from the company.
All they keep saying is I opened the trade with that amount of lots, and of course I did not think to take a screen shot before executing the trade as this has never happened to me with any broker, and I have traded with over 10 brokers.
What is really disconcerting, is that the company does nothing to check to see if what I am saying is true, they just check their end and pretty much say "No, you are lying", which I am not. This is a bizzare and rare occurence, and before they say lets see how we can fix this, they just say NO. I am disappointed because I thought XM was a decent company with good values, now I completely disagree, because of the way the have handled this situation. Their rebuttal was that last year I used 30.0 and 50.0 lots, which is irrelevant to this year, and most importantly to the last 6 trades I've made.
Its not about me losing the money, as Ive lost money many times and can never blame anyone but myself. But, when mysterious my lot size multiplies by 10, without me doing it, something is wrong. Moreover, when a business refuses to at least investigate, I think, maybe they did this on purpose.
I will not be putting anymore money in this account, I will close this account down now.
I would not recommend XM to anyone, as they dont value their customers, have faulty software, and most importantly the lack of willingness to investigate issues further.

During high impact news events, prices move pretty quick and spreads widen due to high volatility but it seems to be selective not sure if its xm or just my luck.
So last weeks trading, I did some news trading and during the AUD unemployment release prices drop really fast and having a trade opened I noticed spreads were pretty stable at around 2ish pips during a pretty high volatility news release. Also during the surprise announcement by BOJ which caused yen pairs to drop almost 200 PIPs in just a couple of minutes, spreads were also pretty low at around 4ish for GBP/JPY.
Now I never had a position opened during the drop in yen pairs and during the AUD news I had a pretty small position that wouldn't really cause any considerable losses if price didn't go my way.
I opened a few bad positions on GBP/JPY and had to hedge my loosing positions at the time. All positions were opened during US news release (unemployment claims on thursday). Exactly 5 seconds before the news release spreads widen to exactly 20 pips causing all my positions to close due to stop out.
Have my doubts whether this was intentional as I've dug around and found a few customers complaining about possible stop hunting and widening spreads way above normal during specific selective new releases causing stop outs while hedging. I had few other terminals from other brokers opened using variable spreads and none had a 20 pip spread gap during that news release.
Talking to support didn't help and magically the chat was disconnected. They told me your account manager would give you a call, i requested the call to be made at a specific time but they called a minute later and there was no way I could answer the call as I wasn't free to do so.
I can't prove anything simply providing my experience and wasn't pleased.
Won't be trading with xm anymore. Disappointed that's that for sure.

Disadvantages : trading is poor, not recommended for scalpers, price moves and P/L is zero !!!!!!

Please note I have all the data to prove my point.
Regards,

Thank you in advance!

Dear Mr. XXXXXXXX,
Following a thorough investigation of your trading account(s) by our Compliance Department, we hereby would like to inform you that, based on a detailed review of the trading activity in your account(s), we have concluded that the transactions carried out in your account(s) between 01.10.2014 and 15.12.2014 were aimed at exploiting price latency arbitrage opportunities on our Company’s trading platform and at taking advantage of the internet delays which do not reflect the market rates at the time your trades were executed.
Pursuant to Clauses 53.2 and 53.3 of the Company’s Terms and Conditions, to which you agreed when you opened your account(s) with our Company, we are, therefore, entitled, under these circumstances, to revoke the transactions initiated in your account(s), insofar as they relied on such price latency arbitrage opportunities and make the necessary and corresponding corrections and adjustments in your account(s) at our Company’s sole discretion. Accordingly, you will not be compensated for the profit of GBP 2505.53 resulting from the transactions in your account(s) that we have determined as resulting from the above-mentioned price latency arbitrage opportunities, since the transactions in your account(s) that gave rise to such profits are revoked/cancelled and any profits initially shown in your account(s) as a result of such transactions can, therefore, not be considered as legitimately made on your behalf.
Accordingly in line with the foregoing, we hereby regret to have to inform you:
- that your account(s) with our Company will be definitely closed with immediate effect;
- that, pursuant to Clauses 53.2 and 53.3 of the Company’s Terms and Conditions, transaction(s), which relied on price latency arbitrage opportunities are definitely revoked/cancelled; and
- that, as a result, we shall not be making any further payments and/or reimbursements to you.
This letter is official. It speaks for itself that it is sent to you without prejudice to any rights and/or remedies our Company may have in relation to this matter, now or in the future.
Sincerely,


2014-11-26 2Star WARNING:XM broker scam me today after realizing that i made 70% profit in three weeks with no even a single loss trade. I will advice my fellow traders to stay away from WWW.XM.COM because its total scam. They always want you to loose. scam...
Below is the chatting i had with their staff regarding why my account was disabled.
Our company representative will be with you in a moment.
20:58 Desimir has joined the chat.
Desimir | 20:58 Welcome to XM.com! How may I assist you?
Aminu Usman | 21:00 HI. i was unable to trade on the xm mt4 platform. Each time i make an attempt a message appears saying my trade is disabled.
Desimir | 21:01 May I have your account number please?
Aminu Usman | 21:01 my account number is 2211100
Desimir | 21:02 Please note your account was disabled for violation of the bonus terms and condition. You should receive an email shortly. Any deposits will be refunded back to the source
Aminu Usman | 21:03 what kind of violation is that
Desimir | 21:04 By opening multiply accounts
Aminu Usman | 21:05 no i only have one account with you
Desimir | 21:06 You should receive an email shortly sir by the relevant department, I cannot be more specific than that as I do not have further information on this matter
Aminu Usman | 21:06 ok. How can i withdraw my money
Desimir | 21:07 The deposit will be refunded sir no need to request a withdrawal
Aminu Usman | 21:07 when

Desimir | 21:10 I cannot be more specific than that as I told you have have no further information on this matter
Please wait for the email from the relvant department
Everything should be explained there
Aminu Usman | 21:12 Any way i am going to report this to all forex forums. And my conversation with you shall be posted there too.
They also provided me with an investment bonus which some of the other brokers do not do, and of they do it is usually far less than what XM offers.
Very importantly, the staff are helpful and friendly. My account manager at XM is Adam Kyriacou and if you are considering XM then ask for Adam to assist you. His knowledge of the services XM offers is outstanding and he is a friendly professional person to do business with. Adam gives me regular phone calls to find out of I'm still happy and if there is something he can do to assist should I have any queries or problems. What I also appreciate about Adam is that he communicates on many mediums such as Skype and Facebook which is handy when you can't phone or don't have the time to chat on the phone. If Adam left to go work at another broker I would probably want to move my account with him.
I asked Adam if XM.com will be offering managed accounts and he said it is something that he and XM are investigating which is another plus point.
Lastly, XM is trustworthy and your money is safe. You won't struggle to get your profits or money back from them.
My Trading Account suspended and I cannot use it again.
Their XM Team never give me a warning email or something kindly attitude!
They suspend my account and then give me an email said that my acccount suspended because of the high frequency of transactions/orders.

What is XM leverage?
XM offers flexible leverage from 1:1 to as high as 888:1 that can be instantly changed in your account members area.
Higher leverage allows to trade the borrowed capital which increases both the profit potential and the risk of loss.
Some trading strategies like automated scalping may require high leverage while many professional traders do not use much leverage.
Please trade responsibly selecting the leverage based on your risk appetite and loss tolerance level. Some regions may only offer lower leverage.
I have had many chats with support and they would not take my issue seriously, they simply shrugged it off as saying spreads are variable and can be increased at any time especially during periods of high volatility in the market (I noticed spread changes during both volatile periods and non-volatile).
This of course gives them option to increase the spread in their favor to close out positions / keep you out of profit. The XM.com platform also freezes when there is volatility giving you zero chance to pull out of a trade / take profit. I also mentioned this issue but as before and rather frustratingly they avoided the questions as best they could. It was like banging my head against a rather large brick wall (neither XM or doing this are not recommended).
