There is so much information on their website about spreads, markets, regulations, but I couldn’t find anything about their execution model, either it’s a market maker broker or NDD. Seemed to be the second one, because of spreads and consistent order execution throughout my trading. I used to enter some sweet trades with tight stop and high 5-6 RR and xs just placed my orders as they’re without chart manipulations of any kind. I had similar positive feelings about withdrawals. No verification drama, straight to processing my requests.
Many don’t even know, but xs offers great educational content. Not only for beginners, but also for intermediate and experienced traders… learned lots new of strategies and approaches :)
Last 2 monthss I was heavyly trading oil, and no wonder I think because Middle East tension. Even though it's overall bad for ge for economy, actually it created good intraday breakouts with nice patterns. In total the situation contributed 4% positively to my account. However right now I think it's already exhausted and I'm in stock CFDs... but at the same time I lookg at indices S&P and Nasdaq I think they are going in the berish territory. I traded via XS mobile application and I use MT5 just for chart analysis with bigger screen
Idk why people don’t mention xs in discussion of top brokers. No significant drawbacks whatsoever: Regulated. Many accounts to choose, even cent accounts for beginners and raw spreads account for scalpers. Good CFD markets coverage. Metatrader (well they could do better on this matter, connecting with tradingview). Maybe not a flashy broker, but delivered what a typical trader like me needs.
I’m novice in trading, so as someone who is still learning, credibility was one of the main reasons I picked xs. Saw that the broker operates under multiple regulatory licenses, 8 to be exact, which made me feel more comfortable opening my first account.
Finally, their service ticked all the boxed. What it lacked was a mobile app where all transactions can be made and trades can be place. I’m not a fan of mobile trading, but sometime market presents opportunities outside my trading hours. I need to take them and good that I now have it… But of course the primary thing here has always been safety and reasonable trading costs
First they didn't have any edu resources, later they added but as trading courses. This is good for systematic learning, but if you want quick glimpse of one concept, it’s hard :/
I tested a few partial closes on xs mobile app. That’s something I use a lot once a trade starts working. Everything felt natural that I didn’t have to think about the mechanics. By the way, the su][pport team was quite informative when it came to the question about withdrawals. Thanks guys!
It’s great that xs has both MT4 and MT5 platforms to offer. Some may say they are outdated, but to be honest, MT4 is still the goat for most indicators and algos. So, I run one algo on an MT4 acc, and use MT5 for manual day trading. Everything working smooth so far, fees are also well balanced
XS web terminal is surprisingly good. Lots of different order types, a bunch of indicators, and fast order execution for scalping. When there’s some news is coming out, I usually use the web version to react quickly.
well, one of the most regulated broker out there with even Lloyds bank fund insurance - aint joke... I really like trading accounts selection - so many to choose from, whetehr it is for scalping or long term trading, any can be foudn suitable. Also, the XS broker has added their trading app - and its UI is waay better than MT series engines, more modern, better for charting too....yes, compared to mt5 it lacks some trading indicators, but overall fine
I checked a couple of brokers to open an account with… it’s my first real account and read a lot about how to choose a reliable broker. All advice says the same, check regulation, check reputation. Xs is doing great in both aspects, and not only that, i read reviews and you can hardly find any negative ones.
Not glazing them, but the broker is really trustworthy and offers tight conditions with a pro account. It’s essentially the best combination a broker can offer to traders… Of course they have cons such as limited variety when it comes to trading platforms (only MT4 and MT5). However, it doesn’t really affect the trading experience itself, platforms are pretty standard.
Holding 8 licenses? That’s not what I expected from the XS platform. Especially seeing: CySEC; ASIC; FSCA. Three of them are one of the strictest financial authorities in the world. Many brokers fail to complete their compliance checks. So the fact that XS has done this is not something casual. Also, having so many payment methods is what caught my attention. I usually use a bank card. While the withdrawal speed isn’t lightning-fast (usually taking about a day), the peace of mind knowing your funds are with a highly regulated, stable broker is worth the wait. So yeah, I’m glad I joined them.
The pro account here is best. I don’t even know why anyone would choose another account when the pro is quite affordable even for new traders… The other account worth considering is the elite but this is a raw spreads account type with commissions and it’s for a different trading style, not mine. In general, there is a solid offer of accounts on this platform.
is xs.com safe broker is the first question you need to ask when considering it. And this is actually a question for which the answer can be found pretty easy and quickly. It’s regulated, very well-regulated and has excellent reputation. Yes, it’s quite safe broker, but also it provides good trading platform in addition to that
I guess I’m annoying support with so many questions, but hey, they answers promptly :D
I think I found my place. Silent and simple broker with well-developed professional service and proven track record. I could see their support work. They reply like industry experts, not like bots…
I tested the broker under severe conditions. Like 2025 events, such as Otober crypto crush or February US stock market market, small, but still notable crush. The thing is that at any event, my stop losses were triggered and didn’t get liquidated, though I had positions in these days. Another good sign was even sinificant withdrawals like 1k, 5k that I made by bank wire transfers, were delivered.
XS isn’t scam, I was convinced of that after procedeing with depsoits and withdrawals a bunch of times. I used e-wallet, bank cards and even crypto wallets. They never asked weird questions about my operations like “are you sure you want to withdraw money from your account?”, ya know such questions were really strange when I was trading in other places. Also, they offer enough benefits, including their trading courses. They boosted my confidence. First, I started trading consistently, wihtout rushing into trades and after that confidence came in. So I'm definitely going to stay for a long time
