FXCC versus XM

FXCC established itself as an ECN/STP broker, offering traders the core MT4 trading platform, including the MAM module for asset management services. It has one account type for all clients without minimum deposit requirements and maximum leverage of 1:500. Beginner traders get a basic introduction to trading and quality research and trading signals.

XM caters to 5M+ traders from 190 countries. It offers traders the MT4/MT5 trading platforms, high leverage, low minimum deposits, and a well-balanced asset selection. The educational and research portfolio remains at the top of its class, and the XM execution environment, with 2.4 billion trades executed without requotes or rejections, is ideal for demanding traders.

I have conducted an in-depth review of FXCC and XM to determine which one presents the better overall choice and which traders will benefit the most at either broker.
