Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about forex trading with XM
What is forex trading?
Forex trading (foreign exchange trading) is the process of buying and selling currencies on the global market. It's the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with over $7.5 trillion traded daily. Traders profit from fluctuations in exchange rates between currency pairs.
What are the trading hours for forex?
The forex market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, from Sunday 10:00 PM GMT to Friday 10:00 PM GMT. This allows traders to trade at any time during the week, making it highly flexible for different time zones and schedules.
What is the minimum deposit to start forex trading with XM?
You can start trading forex with XM with a minimum deposit of just $5. We offer Micro, Standard, and Ultra Low accounts to suit different trading styles and capital levels. All account types provide access to the same trading conditions and platforms.
What leverage does XM offer for forex trading?
XM offers flexible leverage up to 1:1000 for major currency pairs, depending on your account type and regulatory jurisdiction. Leverage allows you to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital, but it also increases risk. We recommend using leverage responsibly.
What are spreads and how low are XM's forex spreads?
Spreads are the difference between the buy and sell price of a currency pair. XM offers ultra-competitive spreads starting from 0.6 pips on major pairs like EUR/USD. Our Ultra Low account offers spreads as low as 0.6 pips with no re-quotes and fast execution.
Can I trade forex on mobile?
Yes! XM supports mobile trading through MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) apps, available for both iOS and Android devices. You can monitor markets, execute trades, and manage your account from anywhere in the world.
What is the difference between major, minor, and exotic currency pairs?
Major pairs include the most traded currencies (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY) and typically have the tightest spreads. Minor pairs don't include USD but involve major currencies (EUR/GBP, GBP/JPY). Exotic pairs include one major currency and one from an emerging economy (USD/TRY, USD/ZAR) and usually have wider spreads.
Does XM charge commissions on forex trades?
XM offers commission-free trading on Micro and Standard accounts. Our Ultra Low account charges a small commission per lot but offers the tightest spreads in the industry. Choose the account type that best fits your trading strategy.
