Comment by Reviewer
"After opening an account, I think Equiti is a pretty good option for experienced traders looking for ECN pricing with high leverage rates on the feature-rich MT5 platform. That said, the offshore regulation doesn't give me a great deal of confidence and the lack of educational tools is frustrating."	"XM is one of the best forex and CFD brokers we have tested. The flexible account types will suit a variety of short-term trading styles while the $5 minimum deposit and smooth sign-up process make it easy to start trading."
Pros
I'm pleased that there's a strong range of accessible payment methods, including bank wire, cards, e-wallets and cryptos The free demo with unlimited usage is a game-changer for those who want to continuously test their strategies DeFi enthusiasts can speculate on an impressive range of 80+ cryptocurrency CFD products I appreciate the 24/6 customer support available in 6 languages, via email and live chat High leverage rates of 1:2000 are on offer for experienced margin traders	XM continues to deliver diverse and multilingual educational materials and offers a useful live education schedule for its webinars and insights 1000+ instruments are available, including recently added thematic indices, providing exposure to emerging industries Transparent and low fees with spreads from 0.0 pips that will help protect day trading profit margins The broker offers premium research including market sentiment, fundamental insights and strategy builders Accessible trading accounts with a $5 minimum deposit and fast account opening Powerful MT4 and MT5 platforms are available with 60+ and 80+ technical charting tools XM is a hugely respected broker authorized by tier-one regulators
Cons
I think retail clients should look elsewhere for robust regulatory oversight since Equiti's main brokerage branch is regulated offshore Equiti falls short in terms of educational material and extra tools, with one of the most basic offerings I have seen I'm disappointed that bank transfer and e-wallet withdrawals are subject to a fee of 1% up to $30	There is weak regulatory oversight through the global entity There's $5 inactivity fee after only 3 months, though this won't affect active traders PayPal deposits are not supported

CFD Trading
The broker's CFD range encompasses all my favorites: forex, US, UK and European stocks, international ETFs, energy commodities, global stock indices and cryptos. They're all available with competitive ECN conditions from within the MT4 or MT5 trading platforms.	Day traders can speculate on leveraged CFDs with zero commissions, spanning popular markets including currencies, equities and commodities.

Forex Trading
During my testing, I uncovered nearly 70 foreign exchange CFDs - not a bad line-up compared to other brokers I review. The broker’s STP execution model means that execution times for me are generally quite low and spreads are competitive, starting from 0.0 pips.	XM offers ultra low spreads across a wide range of forex assets with no re-quotes or hidden charges. Over 50 currency pairs are available, which is above the market average and is in line with one of our top award-winners, AvaTrade.

Cryptocurrency
I’m pretty happy with Equiti’s 1:10 leverage and spreads from $5 on popular crypto pairs like BTCUSD. Savvy clients can also utilize the broker's signals and market news to get crypto trade ideas and keep abreast of industry developments.	XM offers a handful of cryptocurrencies against the USD via the South African entity only. These are tradable via CFDs with high leverage up to 1:500. You can explore major tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple with just a $30 deposit.
