@XM I have sent you an email, hopefully you can look into it and improve the overall quality of customer service For the rest, I will share my recent exp with XM. I am in the midst of exploring, and contacted their Support to request for prices of expired Futures CFDs at their expiration date for last 3 months, which are no longer in MT4. To be fair, they are very responsive to emails, but none of them provide any information related my request. Got a feeling it is being attended by different persons and overlooked the email trail. I would say common questions are okay, if you are asking something rare or too technical then you need to be prepared to explain the same things over and over, and pray hard that it would somehow and some day be answered. Escalated this to the so called Personal Client Relations Manager just now, not sure if it would make any difference. Attached the emails. {file}

And to update on the reply from Personal Client Relations Manager, it's basically as good as no reply, he just simply replied the calendar that was already mentioned by Support.

Dear Lamode,

I have investigated the issue and I can confirm that during the timeframe under question, you did not have any open orders related to the mentioned financial instruments.

Notwithstanding the above, I would like to inform you that the CME contracts for the instruments under question, expire two(2) days later from the day we stop offering the option to our clients to trade with the said instruments. Therefore, the prices on MT4/MT5 platforms represent the tradable prices that we offer when the instrument is available for trading.

In view of the latter, we are not in position to have the prices at the actual expiration day, since we do not offer the ability for the instruments to be traded. However, in case you still wish to know the requested prices, you may contact CME directly and they can provide you with the prices prior the expiration.

Thank you,

I have replied to you in FPA, the question remain unanswered.

Firstly, I have never said I ever had any position, in fact I already mentioned I did not have any position in the attached email in my previous post.

Dear Valued Client,
We thank you for choosing XM as your trusted broker.
Regarding your concern,
on expiration day the trade is closed automatically.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Wishing you a great day and successful trading!

On Apr 29, 2020 at 4:50 PM, your Support advice they would be closed automatically, not sure it means the expiration day in XM or in CME, but regardless, you should be able to provide the historical prices that XM would used to close positions in the mentioned instruments.

Hi,

I am a user of XM for more than 2 years and currently i am in net loss. However, recently i have improved my trading a lot and aim to be in net profit soon. Recently i have seen a user complaining on FPA about closure of his account by XM. His account no.s are 60905603, 60882405, 60905595. The reply by XM representative was very surprising and it goes like this

"Dear Dinu Palattil,

I have investigated the issue raised and I can confirm that our business relationship was correctly terminated due to the fact that you have violated our Terms and Conditions of business.

Particularly, following investigation of your trading account, I can confirm that the trading activity patterns used in your trading account raised serious concerns that you were solely aiming to benefit financially without being genuinely interested in trading in the markets. Please note that the latter constitutes violation of our Terms and Conditions and as such, the business relationship was correctly terminated.

I can also confirm that you were accurately informed of the latter (i.e., termination of business relationship), via email, by the relevant Department of our Company on 04/05/2020.

Now it clearly states:

1. There was not Arbitrage trading.
2. No bonus abuse.
3. No opening of opposite trades in different account.

It looks like the person was making constant profits and XM didn't liked it. So they decided to just throw him out. We all are here to make money in forex and benefit financially, so whats wrong in it ? So XM just like people to be losing money ? It brings about the conspiracy theory that one way or other, every broker throws out successful traders. Please enlighten us on this very important issue.

Dear Samirkhan,

Please note that although I am not in position to disclose any information in relation to any third parties, I would like to stress the fact that as XM, we have very favorable trading conditions which help our clients to trade fair and we always have our clients’ best interests as our priority.

Further to the above, as I mentioned in my response to the client under question, the trading activity identified in the client’s trading account raised serious concerns that the client was trading in an unfair manner, solely aiming to benefit financially by abusing our favorable conditions.

Kindly note that the latter constitutes violation of our terms and conditions of business as these conditions are offered to our clients in order for them to have the best possible trading experience.

I would like to assure you that we always abide by the Client - Company agreement which governs our business relationship.

Thank you,

As a user of xm, that's what I want to know the reason so that me or any other trader may not do that abuse of favorable conditions. Your answer is totally vague and doesn't make sense. I have invested thousands of $ and I don't wanna wake up some day and find that my account is blocked due to some abuse of favorable conditions. Hopefully you have got my point.

Now it got me interested as well... What abuse was it in particular? Was it abusing the latency/lag or what "trading activity patterns" exactly? I think it would help others to be aware of them in order not to violate them, tnx.
Can you afford to take that chance?

Hi,

IS it correct that XM demo account does not have news feed? I am using MT5 platform and there is not news feed like other brokers demo account. Is this a technical issue?

Thanks

XM rep, can you point me to opening a 888:1 leverage account. I always seem to get directed to the Cysec 30:1 website. I'm an Italian resident. As long as you offer MT5, hedging account and starting with a demo first.

Thank you.

XM, can you please explain to me further this: "XM applies a 3-day rollover charge on Wednesdays"

Does that mean you don’t charge 3 day swap on Fridays but you charge on Wednesdays for my position form last weekend?

Italy is in European Union now right? Seems self explanatory why you would get directed to Cysex 30:1 site.

Hello,
First of all, I write with translation. Sorry for the mistakes. What trading strategies does XM not accept? By opening a ticket, I aim for 20 pips or more.
Realization time will be maybe 10 minutes maybe 1 day. Is this okay?
I write my posts with translation. There may be spelling mistakes.

Wanted to open an account but I've been seeing a lot of shitty reviews, particular the ones about being blocked for no reason or due to illegal trading practices according to Xm.

Well I just can't imagine how someone will cheat or trade illegally in the first place,(double accounts not included) so is it the case where the consistent traders are kicked out?

If you've had any unreasonable problems with this broker please say. If they've also been good in your opinion, I'd like to hear it.
Thanks

I suggest you don't open account with them, there are many other better brokers to work with. I see many complains about XM that blocking accounts, everytime claiming "you did arbitrage on different accounts". Even one time, I see XM representative says in fpa forum to one customer "you did artbirage with 23 account", wtf?
So, it seems arbitrage condition is the "excuse" for XM to block accounts.

Most brokers don't charge swaps for weekends , instead they charge 3x spread on Wednesday ie Saturday , Sunday , Wednesday

And it doesn't matter when u opened the trade. But if u hold on wednesday it is 3x even if u hold for that 1 Wednesday alone
