The Standard, Micro, and Ultra Low accounts charge higher spreads but there is no commission. The XM Zero account charges lower spreads, but there is a commission. The following calculations were made using the Standard account. We know it's hard to compare trading fees for CFD brokers. So how did we approach the problem of making their fees clear and comparable? We compared brokers by calculating all the fees of a typical trade for selected products. We chose popular instruments within each asset class: - Stock index CFDs: SPX and EUSTX50 - Stock CFDs: Apple and Vodafone - Forex: EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD, EURCHF and EURGBP A typical trade means buying a leveraged position, holding it for one week and then selling. For volume, we chose a $2,000 position for stock index and stock CFDs, and $20,000 for forex transactions. The leverage we used was: - 20:1 for stock index CFDs - 5:1 for stock CFDs - 30:1 for forex These catch-all benchmark fees include spreads, commissions and financing costs for all brokers. Let's see the verdict for XM fees. CFD fees XM has low stock CFD, while average stock index CFD fees.

Web trading platform
Trading platformScoreAvailableWeb2.8starsYesMobile3.8starsYesDesktop3.4starsYes XM does not have its own trading platform; instead, it uses third-party platforms: MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. These platforms are very similar to each other in functionality and design. One major difference is that you can't trade stock CFDs on MetaTrader 4, only on MetaTrader 5. We tested the MetaTrader 4 platform as it is more widely used. MetaTrader 4 is available in an exceptionally large number of languages. XM web trading platform languagesArabicBulgarianChineseCroatianCzechDanishDutchEnglishEstonianFinnishFrenchGermanGreekHebrewHindiHungarianIndonesianItalianJapaneseKoreanLatvianLithuanianMalayMongolianPersianPolishPortugueseRomanianRussianSerbianSlovakSlovenianSpanishSwedishTajikThaiTraditional ChineseTurkishUkrainianUzbekVietnamese  Look and feel The XM web trading platform has great customizability. It is easy to change the size and the position of the tabs. However, the platform feels outdated and some features are hard to find. For example, it took us a while to figure out how to add an asset to the watchlist.

Visit Broker74.89% of retail CFD accounts lose money XM review - Web trading platform Login and security XM requires two-step authentication for the account login on the website where you can deposit and withdraw. The trading platform itself, however, doesn't have two-step authentication. Search functions The search functions are OK. You can find assets grouped into various categories. However, we missed the usual search function where you can type in the name of an asset manually.

XM review - Web trading platform - Search Placing orders You can use all the basic order types. However, you won't find more sophisticated order types such as 'one-cancels-the-other'. The following order types are available: - Market - Limit - Stop - Trailing Stop Trailing Stop is available only in the MT4 desktop platform To get a better understanding of these terms, read this overview of order types. There are also order time limits you can use: - Good 'til canceled (GTC) - Good 'til time (GTT)
Tumblr media
XM review - Web trading platform - Order panel Alerts and notifications You cannot set alerts and notifications on the XM web trading platform. This feature is available only on the desktop trading platform. Portfolio and fee reports XM has clear portfolio and fee reports. You can easily see your profit-loss balance and the commissions you paid. These reports can be found under the 'History' tab. We couldn't find a way to download them.
Mobile trading platform
XM offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 mobile trading platforms. Similarly to the web trading platform, we tested the MetaTrader 4 platform on Android. Once you have downloaded the MT4 mobile trading platform, you should access the relevant XM server. Just like on the web trading platform, you can choose from many languages on the mobile trading platform as well. Changing the language is a bit tricky on Android devices, as you can do it only if you switch the default language of your mobile. XM mobile trading platform languagesArabicChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CzechEnglishFrenchGermanGreekHindiIndonesianItalianJapaneseKoreanPolishPortuguesePortuguese (Brazil)RussianSpanishThaiTurkishUkrainianVietnamese    Look and feel XM has a great mobile trading platform, we really liked its design and user-friendliness. It is easy to find all the features it provides.
Tumblr media
XM review - Mobile trading platform Login and security XM requires only one-step login for the platform, but provides two-step account login to access deposit and withdrawal functions. A two-step login procedure for the trading platform would be safer. You can't use fingerprint or Face ID authentication. Offering this feature would be more convenient. Search functions The search functions are good. You can search by typing the name of the product or by navigating the category folders.

Desktop trading platform
For desktop trading too, you can use the MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms; we tested MetaTrader 4. It has the same design, is available in the same languages, offers the same order types, has the same search functions, and offers the same portfolio and fee reports as the web trading platform. The desktop trading platform doesn't have two-step authentication; however, XM provides a two-step account login procedure on the website where you can deposit and withdraw funds. The major difference is that you can set alerts and notifications on the desktop trading platform in the form of mobile push and email notifications. To set these, you have to add your email address and mobile MetaQuotes ID (you can find it in the MT4 app's settings). You can add them if you go to 'Tools' and then 'Options'.

Markets and products
XM is a CFD and forex broker with a great number of currency pairs available for trading. However, the CFD selection is lower compared to some XM alternatives. Disclaimer: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 74.89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.  XMFxProAdmirals (Admiral Markets)Currency pairs (#)557047Stock index CFDs (#)242943Stock CFDs (#)1,2611,7003,252ETF CFDs (#)--372Commodity CFDs (#)152528Bond CFDs (#)--2Cryptos (#)*-3042 Cryptos are available for customers onboarded under XM Global Limited entity.

ARMIN ORDODARY AND THE FSM SMART FRAUD
Media released a request for information about the broker fraud FSM Smart and its operator, Armin Ordodary, at the beginning of March 2017. We did, in fact, learn some important facts. After speaking with insiders, we were given the assurance that Armin Ordodary would merely serve as a front for a bigger organization. Not long after we requested it, FSM Smart modified its domain. The fact that the Scam Broker is still active online is another reality. We must reiterate our request for information because this is intolerable.
VERIFIED FSM INTELLIGENCE REGARDING ARMIN ORDODARY
Following the most recent call, we were informed that Armin Ordodary was the manager and founder of both the white-label broker platform provider NepCore and the SIAO Group. In the interim, both businesses have shut down their websites.
We have received confirmation that Armin Ordodary is a manager and shareholder of DOO, the upmarket Serbian company. This is purportedly a marketing firm that introduces fresh victims to broker scams, not a boiler room.
It has come to our attention that the Iranian-born resident of Cyprus and his businesses are merely a small component of a worldwide criminal network.
Information about the illicit broker scheme FSM Smart (www.fsmsmart.com) and its aggressive client acquisition strategy through Upmarket d.o.o., a Serbian boiler room, was provided to the media by whistleblowers. Benrich Holdings Ltd., a company based in Cyprus, is the sole shareholder in this boiler room. Armin Ordodary, a resident of Cyprus, is a director of both companies.
THE WARNINGS TO INVESTORS ABOUT ARMIN ORDODARY
Early in 2018, the illicit broker was introduced. Currently, investors are advised not to participate in the FSM Smart scheme (www.fsmsmart.com and http://www.fsmsmartscams.com).
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warned investors against the plan in March of 2019.
ASIC, an Australian agency, warned investors not to participate in the broker scheme in April 2019.
August 2018: A warning was released by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) of New Zealand.
October 2018: A warning was issued by FINMA, Switzerland’s financial market supervisory authority.
November 2018: The Manitoba-based Canadian watchdog, MSC, issued a warning to investors about FSM Smart.
According to reports, the FSM Smart contact address is Hertensteinstrasse 51, 6004 Luzern in Switzerland.
FSM SMART (ARMIN ORDODARY'S BRAINCHILD)
As one of the oldest and most innovative Forex brokers in the world, FSMSmart has elevated the entire industry to new heights. Both FSMSmart and its operations manager, FSM Smart Ltd., are well-known in the financial services industry.
Over 140 countries worldwide have benefited from the Company's noteworthy and well-founded financial services thanks to its brave service and steadfast dedication.
Because of the company's vast market expertise and experience, FSMSmart provides top-notch services. As we enhance our existing technology to enable the vast and volatile industry to establish a reliable and sound trading system, we continue to give the enormous value of the market to our clients.
The Company's founding members, who have been in the brokerage and forex industries for more than 50 years and who have been directing and instilling values in FSMSmart from its foundation, are financial professionals and adept financial service providers.
FSM Smart is constantly coming up with new ideas and methods to ensure that our clients have a luxurious and fulfilling experience. In addition, the company strives to offer the finest possible trading circumstances and top-notch client support while carefully selecting Account Managers to ensure success in forex trading.
FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY
The UK government has no control over the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), a financial regulator that is funded by fees collected from participants in the financial services sector. The FCA protects the integrity of the UK financial markets by regulating financial companies that offer services to consumers.
It focuses on how financial services companies, both retail and wholesale, are expected to behave. Similar to the FSA, which it replaced, the FCA is set up as a company limited by guarantee.
To establish regulatory standards for the financial industry, the Financial Policy Committee, the Prudential Regulation Authority, and the FCA collaborate. The FCA is responsible for the conduct of around 58,000 businesses which employ 2.2 million people and contribute around £65.6 billion in annual tax revenue to the economy in the United Kingdom.

ARMIN ORDODARY, FSM SMART AND LAU GLOBAL SERVICES (2024)
In the era of CFDs and binary options, massive international forex scams arose, with the peak occurring in or around 2015, many of them began operating between 2010 and 2012. Legislators and regulators needed some time to recognize emerging trends and devise effective countermeasures. The beginning of 2014 saw regulators issue warnings about binary options, signaling the end of the FX gold rush. It took three more years for regulators to formally outlaw binary options. A few international forex scammers duped hundreds of thousands of retail investors between 2012 and 2017. One of the criminal groups that created a wave of illicit binary options, forex, and cryptocurrency trading methods is Lau Global Services Corp. Media has requested additional information to establish an EFRI funds recovery campaign.
The FSM Smart Broker Scheme by Armin Ordodary
The fraudulent broker scheme FSM Smart (www.fsmsmart.com) has been aggressively gaining clients through their Serbian boiler room Upmarket d.o.o., according to information provided to the media by whistleblowers. Benrich Holdings Ltd., a company based in Cyprus, is the only shareholder in this boiler room. Armin Ordodary, a resident of Cyprus, is a director of both companies. Upmarket is only one of the Lau Global Services Corp scheme's several boiler rooms. FinTelegram has information that indicates FSM Smart and Armin Ordodary are involved in the “Lau Scheme.”
The "Lau Scheme" has only a few minor branches, including the Serbian Upmarket d.o.o. Kiev, Ukraine, has served as something of an epicenter for additional boiler rooms that have already been discovered in other jurisdictions. For instance, call center addresses in Kiev were discovered by the Russian website Forex Scam (www.forex-scam.net). Apart from E&G Bulgaria, Lau Global Services Corp is unquestionably one of the biggest illicit broker enterprises on the planet. Even with so many offshore connections, this operation appears to be run out of Ukraine and the Balkans.
However, let's begin with FSM Smart and work our way up to the larger picture. Early in 2018, the illicit broker FSM Smart made its debut. Investor cautionary note regarding the current FSM Smart (www.fsmsmart.com) scheme:
August 2018: In the summer of 2018, the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) of New Zealand issued a warning on FSM Smart.
In November 2018, the Canadian watchdog in Manitoba (MSC) issued an investor warning against FSM Smart, while the financial market regulatory organization in Switzerland,
FINMA issued a warning against the company. FSM Smart's contact address is reportedly Hertensteinstrasse 51, 6004 Luzern in Switzerland.
The Global Services Network of Lau
It is clear that there are connections between the operators of the FSM Smart Scheme and other con artists, such as MTI Markets (www.mtimarkets.com). According to reports, Lau Global Services Corp., the company behind this unlawful broker, also ran the following other illicit broker schemes:
TradingMX (http://www.tradingmx.com)
(www.lgs-corp.com) LGS Corp.
(www.tradingbanks.com) TradingBanks
Trade12: https://www.trade12.com
mtimarkets.com, the website of MTI Markets
(www.grizzly-ltd.com) Grizzly
The following companies have been linked to the Lau Global Services Group by the Media team:
Belize’s Lau Global Services Corp.
Serbian Upmarket d.o.o.
Global Fin Services Ltd (UK), Exo Capital Markets Ltd (Marshall Islands), and MTI Investments LLC or MTI Markets Ltd (Marshall Islands)
Malta-based Grizzly Ltd.
Cyprus-based R Capital Solutions Ltd.
Cyprus-based Benrich Holdings Ltd.
SIO Ltd (Cyprus)
Eyar Financial Corp Limited (Vanuatu)
Most of the businesses don’t have a website or aren’t active on social media. Armin Ordodary, a resident of Cyprus, appears to be involved in the “Lau Scheme.” The last several months have seen the disappearance of all the websites and social media accounts he is directly related to going offline. Only to bring up his SIAO Ltd. The reason behind this is the question.
Regulators from many jurisdictions issued numerous warnings to the brands and businesses connected to Lau Global Services Corp.
August 2015: MXTrade and Lau Global Services were the targets of an investor alert by the Italian CONSOB;
September 2015: MXTrade and Lau Global Services were the targets of an investor alert from Cyprus agency CySec;
April 2016: The Belgian Financial Services Authority (FSMA) cautioned investors;
Nov. 2016 saw the Australian regulator ASIC issue a warning to investors about MXTrade; Nov. 2016 saw the New Zealand regulator FMA issue a warning to investors about EXO Capital Markets Ltd. trading as Trade12;
Nov. 2017 saw the Guernsey regulator issue a warning to investors about Exo Capital Markets Ltd. trading as Trade12;
numerous other warnings regarding the various trading styles (domains/brands)
R Capital Solution's Declaration About MXTrade
The Facebook page of Lau Global Service Corp is still accessible, even though the majority of the network’s illicit broker websites have since gone offline. It is purported that R Capital Solutions Limited, a financial services firm registered in Cyprus (HE39292) with licence number 246/14, approved and regulated by the Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission, was the previous owner and operator of the MXTrade brand. 2015 saw the alleged transfer of the MXTrade name and customer base to Lau Global Services. R Capital Solutions, however, disputes that it ever had any relationship with MXTrade in a corresponding statement:
Individuals Found in the Network
The individuals listed in the FSMSmart network include Mathew Bradley, Ali Mahmoudi, and Armin Ordodary, a resident of Cyprus who is purportedly a former Windsor Brokers employee. Born in January of 1991, Armin Ordodary has registered multiple forex trading domains during the years of 2013 and 2014. In addition, he serves as the director of Bythos Yachts Management OU in Estonia.
The Well-Established Ties that Armin Ordodary
We are unable to determine at this time if Armin Ordodary was a lieutenant in Cyprus or one of the scheme’s masterminds. In actuality, we have managed to determine his affiliation with businesses, endeavours, and undertakings within the illicit brokering landscape. He has ties to both the Neoproject and SIAO Ltd, a provider of FOREX services. Additionally, we are aware that he oversees the Upmarket boiler room in Serbia, which provided services for the FSM Smart. He offered marketing services for the “lau Scheme`s illicit trading styles through Nepcore.

ARMIN ORDODARY AND THE FSM SMART FRAUD (2024)
Media released a request for information about the broker fraud FSM Smart and its operator, Armin Ordodary, at the beginning of March 2017. We did, in fact, learn some important facts. After speaking with insiders, we were given the assurance that Armin Ordodary would merely serve as a front for a bigger organization. Not long after we requested it, FSM Smart modified its domain. The fact that the Scam Broker is still active online is another reality. We must reiterate our request for information because this is intolerable.
VERIFIED FSM INTELLIGENCE REGARDING ARMIN ORDODARY
Following the most recent call, we were informed that Armin Ordodary was the manager and founder of both the white-label broker platform provider NepCore and the SIAO Group. In the interim, both businesses have shut down their websites.
We have received confirmation that Armin Ordodary is a manager and shareholder of DOO, the upmarket Serbian company. This is purportedly a marketing firm that introduces fresh victims to broker scams, not a boiler room.
It has come to our attention that the Iranian-born resident of Cyprus and his businesses are merely a small component of a worldwide criminal network.
Information about the illicit broker scheme FSM Smart (www.fsmsmart.com) and its aggressive client acquisition strategy through Upmarkt d.o.o., a Serbian boiler room, was provided to the media by whistleblowers.
