Final Verdict

[P_REVIEW post_id=792 visual=’rating-options’ template=’style1′]

I personally do recommend XM broker.

My experience with this platform just confirmed a rock solid XM reputation among the forex traders from all across the world!

Verification process was fast and smooth. I must emphasize the fact that the webtrader XM platform did not freeze a single time during the testing, all orders were executed very fast. Spreads and fees were just fine, exactly as stated on the website.

I was able to withdraw my money back almost immediately, and there has never any issue with price re-quotes.

Full regulation of XM broker under Australian ASIC is a big plus in my opinion.

As far as XM Webtrader’s user experience is concerned, I think it is one of the world’s best trading platforms. I can say that the overall XM trading experience was fantastic and that is important! Unfortunately, I was unable to test the mobile app, but maybe next time.
