XTB provides access to a wide range of markets, such as foreign exchange, shares, metals, commodities, indices, and cryptocurrencies. Traders get to trade and invest in all of these financial instruments using this platform.
Currently, XTB allows trading of 48 currency pairs with micro lot–size contracts. There is no minimum initial deposit, and traders can avail spreads from 0.1 pips. Some of the major pairs include EUR/USD, AUD/CAD, EUR/CAD, CHF/JPY, and EUR/NZD.
XTB allows access to more than 20 indices across the world, including those from the United States, Germany, and China. Low transaction costs, financial leverage, and the ability to go long or short are some of the most significant features. Also, there is no cost to hold a position overnight. UK100, US30, JAP225, CHNcomp, MEXcomp, and AUS200 are some of the notable indices that can be traded in XTB.
Apart from currency pairs and indices, traders can explore and speculate essential commodities such as oil, gold, silver, natgas, sugar, copper, coffee, etc.
XTB also supports CDFs on more than 1,500 equities and 60 ETFs with leverage as high as 10×. Ultra-fast executions and low commissions are the notable pros of XTB compared to other brokers in the market.
One of the most significant tradable products that XTB offers is cryptocurrencies. Initially, the list of tradable cryptos was confined to BTC, ETH, XRP, LTC, and DASH. However, in 2018, this list expanded to more than 20 pairs, including Neo, Tron, Stellar, IOTA, etc. It is important to note that this broker also offers a limited trading session for crypto CFDs on the weekends. Many brokers do not offer weekend trading sessions as XTB does.
Types of Accounts
There are three types of accounts offered by the XTB broker. Let us discuss each one of them briefly and show their features.
Standard Account
This account includes about 1,500+ instruments for XTB trading. The available instruments include forex, commodities, indices, cryptos, stock CFDs, and ETF CDFs. These accounts have standard spreads, and there is no commission charged for trading stock indices, forex, and commodities. However, there is a commission of 0.08% (per lot) charged for trading stock CFDs and ETF CFDs. Moreover, it provides a feature of automated trading.
