FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which XM account type should I choose?

The right account type depends on your country, platform, instruments, trading cost preference and experience level. Always confirm current account details on the broker website.

Should beginners use a demo account first?

A demo account can help users test platform setup and order placement before live trading, but demo results do not guarantee live results.
