Comment by Reviewer
"FXTM is a good pick for day traders seeking low forex commissions on the MetaTrader 4 platform. That said, the range of other assets is not extensive for those looking to diversify, especially stocks and cryptocurrencies."	"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."

Cons
It’s a shame that ETFs and bond products are not available, and the selection of stocks is not extensive compared to competitors like AvaTrade Spreads are mediocre in the commission-free accounts, with typical EUR/USD spreads around 1.9 pips - the industry average is around 1.2 pips Withdrawal fees apply, including a 30 EUR fee on bank wire withdrawals There are limited e-wallet payment options compared to alternatives	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
