XM was the first broker where I opened a trading account, back in 2016. I considered it good, but I didn't have anything to compare to anyway. After opening accounts with a couple other brokers I realized that XM swaps and spreads are not very good, the worst among the brokers I use now.
Mar 20, 2020 - 2 Stars XM was the first broker where I opened a trading account, back in 2016. I didn't have problems with them, but I didn't have anything to compare to either. After opening accounts with a couple other brokers I realized that XM swaps and spreads were just regular, but I didn't care much, XM was still working for me, and they were processing my withdrawals. My problem with them started this month, when I requested a withdrawal which was approved and, according to them, sent on March 3, but today March 20 it's still not arrived. For the last week they've only provided general answers saying they are investigating.

I have investigated your account.
From what I see in the communication your withdrawal was reversed by the payment provider and you have been informed about this through the following email dated 27th of March.
The email :
Dear Valued Client,

As a result, we have credited your trading account with the whole amount, exceptionally covering the fees occurred.

Dear Ronaldv,
Following investigation in your trading account, it is my understanding that you have successfully withdraw the funds related to your previous review.
Regarding your claims in relation to the spreads offered by our Company, please note that in XM we offer variable spreads and in order to keep spreads as narrow as possible, we aim to get optimal prices from all our liquidity providers.
However, due to the fact that spreads depend on market conditions, the unprecedented event which has been declared as a global pandemic (COVID-19), has led to extreme market volatility and abnormal market conditions such as thin market liquidity, abnormal spreads, etc.
Although we try our best to keep spreads as low as possible, the latter has affected the spreads provided by our Company and unfortunately, such conditions fall beyond our Company's reasonable control.

Spread manipulation on profit and fake prices
Service use: Live
Length of use: 3-6 Months
Xm this days it's like it's only interested on chowing our money and there's no fair trading as when you start being in profit they widen spread so that you can make little profit but when on a loss everything goes to normal and you lose fast in such a way that if you have a small account you blew it . Their prices are weirdly fake as I place orders on GBPUSD EURUSD AND AUDUSD ALL ON A BUY it went on negative for a longer period that when I placed this trades on another broker ten minutes later it instant went on a profit while the trades I made with xm where still running on a negative my account is 52002350
Dear Blessin Theo,
In order for me to be able to fully investigate your claims, please provide me with the order numbers you are referring to in your review.
Notwithstanding the above, please note that due to the recent market conditions affected by the global pandemic (COVID-19), abnormal spreads conditions may have arisen.

Hi,
I’m expediting some technical difficulty in logging into my account and when I tried to contact the customer support via email, it wouldn’t sent out and When I tried to contact live support, it says that my MT5 user ID is non existent even though I’ve been logging in and out of it for the past few days. I’ve only experienced problem with it just today.
I am starting to get worried and I do not want to accuse this company of something which may not be true. Please do get back to me as soon as possible and I would give a better review.
Thank you.

Dear Jumbo,
Following investigation, I can confirm that the price for the contract of OIL-May20 reached the price of USD 18 during the timeframe under question, however, please note that on 17/04/2020 the only OIL contract available for trading in our platform was OIL-Jun20, since the OIL-May20 had expired.
In this respect, correctly you were able to see a different price for the OIL contract since it was for a different one.
In case though you were able to see something else beside the above mentioned, please let me know in order to proceed with a more thorough investigation.

Good stable broker with high spreads and smooth withdrawals
Service use: Live
Length of use: over 1 Year
XM is my first broker where I opened an account almost 3 years ago. First was demo, after real.
In general i'm happy with them, as found here everything I need for trading. I like their educational materials and free daily signals, really zero fees and fast withdrawals. One time also got a bonus.
From the other side, their spreads could be much lower. This forces to trade with higher leverage that increases risks.
If you want to open account with XM, read carefully their Terms before, don't breach them and everything will be fine.
4 stars from me because of high spreads.

so i sent them official customer support mail which should be processed in 24 hours asking them to send me that email to know what on earth did i do wrong and clarify the picture (they never responded) i logged into my account after the 24 hours passed to find that 80 % of my remaining deposit are GONE!!!!
i contacted the customer support again and they told me that they don't know poop and i should what for that poopy email!! I HONESTLY THINK THAT THEY ARE STALLING TO STEAL MY MONEY IF I DID NOTHING!

Dear Hussein Magdy,
Following investigation of your trading accounts and trading activity, I regret to inform you that your trading accounts were terminated due to the fact that you were placing opposite orders within your trading accounts.
This cannot be deemed as an acceptable strategy as you create an environment which does not follow the fair rules of trading and makes the strategy in a way risk free and therefore not permitted. It should be also noted that the latter constitutes a violation of our terms and conditions of business. In addition to the previously-mentioned, I can confirm that the remaining balance in your trading account can be withdrawn using an alternative method of withdrawing as your initial source of deposit has been fully refunded.
Regarding the issue raised in relation to your withdrawal request dated 23/04/2020, I can confirm that it was correctly and successfully processed by our Back Office Department. Particularly and as you were accurately informed via email, the funds were sent back to the initial source of deposit within the relevant processing hours (i.e., within 24 business hours of the withdrawal receipt) by our Company; however, Cards settlements take approximately 2-5 working days to be completed and funds to be reflected into your records. As the timeframe under question has not passed yet, please allow some time in order for your funds to be reflected.
In case you do not receive the funds under question within the mentioned timeframe, please note that following the 10th working day of the finalization of the withdrawal, you may contact our Customer Care personnel in order to further assist you with the issue (i.e., provide you with the ARN in order for you to be able to locate the funds with the assistance of your Bank).

Back Office
I have investigated the issue and I can confirm that your withdrawal request for the amount of USD 5,00 was correctly and successfully processed by our Back Office Department. Particularly and as you were accurately informed via email, the funds were sent back to the initial source of deposit within the relevant processing hours (i.e., within 24 business hours of the withdrawal receipt).
Following your claims that you had not received the funds under question, the ARN was provided to you in order to liaise with your Bank and locate the funds. At this point, it should be noted that the ARN is a proof that the said transactions were successfully executed from our Company’s side.
You were also informed that in case you were still not able to locate the funds with the assistance of your Bank, further investigation from our end would be processed if you provided us with an official letter from your Bank of non-receipt of funds stating that the said ARN number is either not recognized or holds no funds.
Please note that the above (i.e., that we need an official document from your bank), was also communicated to you in your follow up emails with our Back Office personnel dated 04/03/2016 and 07/09/2017.
Due to the fact that for almost five(5) years, you never provided us with the said documentation, no further investigation could be processed by our side.
Thank you,
