5 star XM broker review by Kiran, India
... I have an Ultra Low account and the spreads are almost tight (0.8 pips on EUR/USD). Execution time is good. But the best thing I like about XM is that they are providing local bank INR deposits and withdrawals for India, in a seamless manner. I deposited and made a withdrawal too without any hassle from my bank account. The withdrawal amount was transferred into my local Indian bank account on the 2nd working day of placing the request. It's awesome. I would surely recommend this XM broker for any Indian client.

Scam broker, do not deposit in such a broker
I tried that broker,,,,it is very bad from the first day, my trading account number 45404545.
After recieving the email of verification, i decided that i will not deposit now , and i asked for the 30 usd free bonus to try the broker.....
I opened a trade that was with profit....
After opening the second one with its tp and sl,,,,,i found that bonus disappeared suddenly with no any apparent reason and trading became disabled.
I made a live chat with the supporting team, they did nothing , and they do not know the reason of what happened.
MY ADVICE TO ALL TRADERS ((((DO NOT DEPOSIT IN XM)))

Dear Dr ayman fathy,
Following investigation of your trading accounts and trading activity, I can confirm that our business relationship was correctly terminated due to the fact that you were placing opposite orders with another client in order to exploit arbitrage opportunities.
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 view of the above, I regret to inform you that unfortunately, due to the above violation, we are not in position to accept you as a client again.
Thank you

Not reliable wouldn't recommend depositing in thus broker
Service use: Live
Length of use: 0-3 Months
I have opened a trading account with xm global almost 2 to 3 weeks ago and got my account verified then I began my trading journey with them, so I made a significant amount of trading profits with them during the NFP last Friday and so now when I place a withdrawal they replied to me after 5 hours telling me that my account has been terminated and I have breached their terms and conditions before and therefore my account has been terminated before I reopened it recently, I've asked them to provide evidence to me where my account had been terminated with them before where they communicated with me that they are terminating business relations with me in relation to my account and they said they cannot provide that information, so basically now I have had all my profits revoked without substantial evidence as to why as apparently they are not allowed to provide the evidence of how true their allegations may hold

Dear Florance,
I have investigated the issue and I can confirm that our business relationship has been correctly terminated due to the fact that you violated our Terms and Conditions of business.
Particularly, your trading information, including but not limited to the IP address, was the same with other clients of the Company who had also violated the Company's Terms and Conditions.
In view of the above violation, it was correctly decided to nullify all transactions and terminate the business relationship with immediate effect. I can confirm though that you have successfully withdrawn all the funds previously deposited.
In conclusion, I would like to stress the fact that any actions taken by our Company in relation to your trading accounts were fully in line with our Terms and Conditions of business.
Thank you,

Fast Withdrawal, Good Customer Service, and Honest Broker
Service use: Live
Length of use: 6-12 Months
Wowww, XM withdrawal process is very fast within 1 hour with online bank transfer in Indonesia. I'm amaze how they can do this so quick for the withdrawal. Overall, my review is 5 star for this perfect broker. I'm a user, not a paid person to write a good review. Soo, this review is came out from user.
The customer service is so helpful and there is no price manipulation. I hope XM could improve more by applying a fix rate deposit such as $1 = Rp.10.000 so trader could trade with more balance and espescially there is no spread from the local depositor.
PLEASEEE. IF YOU ARE A SERIOUS TRADER, DON'T TAKE THE BONUS ACCOUNT. Because there is a lot of rules that you need to obey in order to trade at XM. Most problem is came out from the bonus account user who against the rule.
XM is a honest and trusted broker, i recommended this broker for you all -BR141
