XM
Watch out for
- Ultra Low is the account built for lower spreads; Standard and Micro spreads are wider.
- Which XM company you sign up with depends on where you live, and so do the rules and protections.
- Bonuses and promotions come with conditions: read them before you accept one.
Suits: Traders starting small, and anyone who wants a familiar MetaTrader set-up with small lot sizes.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is Baroq a broker?
No. Baroq makes trading software and is an independent partner of the brokers named here. You open, deposit and trade on the broker's own site, under its terms.
Do you earn money when I sign up?
Yes. If you open an account through our link, the broker may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra and does not change your prices.
Can I lose money?
Yes. CFDs on gold and currencies are leveraged: you can lose money quickly, and most retail accounts lose money. Trade only money you can afford to lose, and try a demo first.
I live in the United States.
These brokers do not accept US residents, so these pages are not for you.
I live in the EU or the UK.
Brokers serve the EU and the UK through separate companies with their own rules. Use the EU and UK button and we help you find the right sign-up for your country.
Which one should I pick?
Open a free demo on both, place the same trades for a week, and compare what each one really costs you. Then decide.
Before you click
Partner notice. Baroq is an independent partner (introducing broker) of the brokers on this page and may be paid a commission when you open an account through its links, at no extra cost to you. Baroq is not a broker, is not part of any broker and does not hold your money. XM and its logos are trademarks of their owners; this page is not its official site.
Risk warning. CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. Consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. Nothing here is investment advice or a promise of any result.
Not for US residents. These brokers do not accept residents of the United States. Some products are not available in every country; the broker decides who it accepts.
Facts are what the brokers publish. A source link is that fact's page. They change and depend on where you live: check the broker's own site before you deposit.
