Comment by Reviewer
"XTB stands out as a top choice for new day traders with the terrific xStation platform, commission-free pricing, no minimum deposit, and excellent educational tools, many of which are seamlessly integrated into the platform. "	"PrimeXBT is good for beginners looking to trade crypto derivatives among traditional assets like forex and indices. There's also a proprietary copy trading solution for novices looking to learn from more experienced investors. With that said, the lack of regulation means traders will receive limited safeguards."
Pros
With over 5,600 instruments across forex, stocks, indices, ETFs, commodities, and cryptocurrencies, including CFDs, share dealing and more recently Investment Plans, XTB caters to both short-term traders and longer-term investors. The xStation platform continues to impress with its user-friendly interface and intuitive features, including customizable news feeds, sentiment heatmaps, and trader calculator, reducing the learning curve for newer traders. With an excellent range of educational materials, including training videos and articles integrated into the platform, XTB supports traders at all levels. XTB has started offering interest on uninvested balances (up to 5% on $30K+) with lower requirements than brokers like eToro (up to 5% on $50K+). Opening an XTB account is a hassle-free, entirely online process that takes just a few minutes, making the entry into day trading smooth for new traders. First-class 24/5 customer support is available, including a friendly live chat with response times of under two minutes during testing. XTB offers fast withdrawals with same-day payments if requested before 1 pm, ensuring day traders have quick access to their funds.	The broker’s platform and app offer advanced charting features, including 50+ technical indicators, a customizable layout and multiple order types including OCO PrimeXBT offers low maker and taker fees coming in at 0.01% and 0.02%, respectively, for crypto futures contracts There’s a range of additional trading opportunities on offer, including demo contests and a copy trading solution The broker delivers ultra-fast trade execution speeds, averaging <7.12 ms - ideal for active day traders Beginners can access a crypto trading Academy with bite-size resources and YouTube videos The broker offers 24/7 customer support via live chat, as well as an extensive help centre
Cons
XTB does not offer a raw spread account, which is becoming increasingly common among competitors like Pepperstone, and may disappoint day traders looking for the tightest spreads. The demo account expires after just four weeks, a serious limitation for traders who wish to thoroughly test the xStation platform and practice short-term strategies before committing real funds. XTB discontinued support for MT4, limiting traders to its proprietary platform, xStation, potentially deterring advanced day traders familiar with the MetaTrader suite. Trading fees are competitive with average spreads of around 1 pip on the EUR/USD but still trail the cheapest brokers like IC Markets, plus there's an inactivity fee after 12 months. The research tools at XTB are good but could be great if they went beyond in-house features with access to leading third-party tools such as Autochartist, Trading Central and TipRanks. Not being able to adjust the default leverage level of XTB products is frustrating, as manual adjustment can significantly mitigate trade risk, especially in forex and CFD trading.	The lack of reputable regulatory oversight is a security concern, though this is common in the crypto trading industry The total selection of 110+ assets is far fewer than top competitors, including OKX with 400+ It’s a shame that there are no popular third-party platforms on offer such as MT4

App Review
Year after year XTB’s app stands out for its slick design and uncluttered interface that we love. It’s quick, responsive and packed with useful features, notably integrated sentiment data, market news, economic calendars and education. The user-friendly order panel underneath the trading chart also makes placing trades, including adding take profit and stop loss levels, really straightforward.
