How to open an additional XM account
How to open an additional XM account
You can apply for an additional XM account through the member page or the XM mobile app. If you already have a verified real account, no further documents are required. Simply choose your preferred account settings, and your new account will be opened within minutes. By registering the account within 30 days, you’ll also receive an account opening bonus (trading bonus), allowing you to trade risk-free without making a deposit.
In addition to the account automatically opened during registration, XM allows you to open up to seven more accounts, for a total of eight. You can delete any unwanted accounts at any time from the member page and create new ones as needed. Since funds can be freely transferred between accounts under the same profile, you can distribute capital across multiple accounts and separate your trading strategies—for example, discretionary trading and EA (automated trading), or day trading and swing trading. You can also mix and match the four account types, trading platforms (MT4/MT5), and leverage options, giving you maximum flexibility to take advantage of XM’s features.
How to open an additional XM account
XM does not allow changes to the base currency, account type, trading platform, or other settings of an existing account. If you want to trade with a different account type or platform (MT4/MT5), you will need to open a new additional account. At XM, fund transfers between accounts under the same profile are processed instantly, 24/7, making it easy to manage and switch between multiple accounts. Accounts you no longer need can be quickly deleted (cancelled) through the member page or the XM mobile app, giving you the flexibility to fully utilize multiple accounts while enjoying XM’s stable, high-quality, and high-leverage trading environment.
Four account types available
XMTrading offers four account types: Standard Account, Micro Account, KIWAMI Goku Account, and Zero Account. You can open additional accounts for any of these types, each with its own trading conditions, allowing you to tailor your accounts to your trading style and market conditions. For example, if you currently use a Micro Account for small-volume trading, you can step up to more dynamic trades by opening an additional Standard Account. Similarly, if you engage in scalping, opening an additional KIWAMI Goku Account—with its lowest trading costs—allows you to trade under more favorable conditions.
Standard and Micro accounts are eligible for a deposit bonus, while all account types—including KIWAMI Goku and Zero accounts—qualify for the new account opening bonus (trading bonus). Additional accounts are also eligible for these bonuses, allowing you to benefit from deposit and account opening bonuses and trade with margin greater than your deposited amount. Each XM account type offers unique features and benefits, so by using multiple accounts, you can tailor your trading to your style and enjoy flexible trading within XM’s reliable and high-quality trading environment.
You can open an account with your desired settings.
With XM, you can open additional accounts with the account type that best suits your trading preferences. When you first register with XM, a Standard Account (MT5) is automatically created when you log in to the member page. From the second account onward, you are free to choose any account type other than the Standard Account. Open and use additional accounts tailored to your trading style. XM allows you to hold up to 8 accounts in total, including the automatically opened first account. Any MT4/MT5 account you no longer need can be deleted (cancelled) at any time, allowing you to open a new account that fits your current trading needs.

Two Available Trading Platforms: MT4 and MT5
XMTrading offers two trading platforms: the widely used MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and its successor, MetaTrader 5 (MT5). While MT4 and MT5 are not compatible, many traders continue to use MT4 for its extensive selection of indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs). In recent years, however, there has been a growing shift to MT5, a next-generation, high-speed platform with numerous new features. MT5 continues to evolve, replacing MT4, which no longer receives updates. By opening additional accounts, you can hold both MT4 and MT5 accounts to compare their features. You can run MT4 and MT5 simultaneously for real-time trading and chart analysis, group multiple charts with different time frames and indicators, and switch between displays instantly with a single touch. For automated trading, you can duplicate MT4/MT5 for multiple accounts, accessing each server simultaneously to run your EAs efficiently.
Managing Risk with Leverage and Diversified Capital
At XM, you can adjust your leverage at any time—even after opening an additional account—through the member page or the official XM app. Instead of repeatedly changing leverage on a single account, opening multiple accounts with different leverage settings allows you to manage risk on an account-by-account basis—for example, one account for high-leverage trading and another for long-term investments. When running multiple EAs simultaneously, assigning each to a dedicated account helps track performance more effectively and diversify risk. XM also enables fund transfers between accounts, allowing you to spread your capital and reduce the risk of losses due to a margin call or zero-cut scenario.

XM Points Can Be Transferred Between Accounts
XMTrading offers a loyalty program where you earn XM Points (XMP) with every trade, which can be exchanged for bonuses or cash. XM Points are shared across all accounts under the same profile. By opening additional accounts, you can trade according to your needs while accumulating XM Points that can later be converted into bonuses or cash. You can even open a dedicated account to trade exclusively with bonuses obtained from XM Points, allowing you to trade without risking your own funds.
You can participate in XM’s loyalty program and earn XM Points automatically—no special registration is required. Points are awarded based on your trading volume, allowing you to accumulate XM Points that can be exchanged for bonuses or cash simply by continuing to trade with XM. By opening additional accounts, you can earn XM Points more efficiently and convert them into bonuses or cash to boost your trading funds.
-
The KIWAMI Goku Account and Zero Account are not eligible to earn or redeem XM Points (XMP, loyalty points).
-
To earn XM Points (XMP, loyalty points), please use a Standard Account or Micro Account.

-
Currently, the iOS version of the XMTrading app cannot be installed. If you have already installed it, however, you can continue to use it as usual.
Please note the following points when using an additional XMTrading account.
The number of additional accounts you can open is limited.
XM allows each person to hold a maximum of eight accounts—one automatically opened initial account and up to seven additional accounts. Any unnecessary additional accounts can be easily deleted (cancelled) from the “My Account Overview” on the member page. If you already have eight accounts and wish to open another with different settings, simply delete an unneeded account and create a new additional account with your desired conditions. Investor accounts and Strategy Manager accounts for copy trading are not counted toward the maximum of eight accounts.
Bonuses for Additional Accounts
XM offers a ¥15,000 New Account Opening Bonus (Trading Bonus) and a two-tiered Deposit Bonus of up to $10,500 ($500 + $10,000), depending on your deposit amount. Additional accounts at XM are also eligible for various bonuses, including the New Account Opening Bonus and Deposit Bonus. You can even receive the New Account Opening Bonus for a KIWAMI Goku Account or Zero Account within 30 days of registering your account..
In addition to the two-tier Deposit Bonus that is always available, XM also offers limited-time campaigns, such as the 100% Deposit Bonus Campaign and special bonus promotions for registered participants. Both new and additional accounts are eligible for these bonus campaigns.
Please note that the New Account Opening Bonus can only be received once per person. Even if you open an additional account, you will not be eligible for the bonus if you have already received it for another account. The bonus is only available to those opening a real XM account for the first time. If you previously canceled or froze an XM account and are now re-registering, this will be considered a second account opening and will not qualify for the New Account Opening Bonus.
Bonus Cancellation Rules for Fund Transfers
At XMTrading, if you transfer funds from a trading account that has a bonus to an account that is not eligible for the bonus, the bonus will be forfeited proportionally based on the withdrawal amount relative to the account balance (deposit + profit). For example, if you transfer all funds from a Standard Account with a bonus to a KIWAMI Account, all bonuses granted to the Standard Account will be lost. Accounts that are not eligible for bonuses include Zero Accounts, KIWAMI Accounts, accounts that have opted out of bonuses, and accounts linked to Cashback IB.
Warning: Account Freezing When Transferring to an Additional Account
At XM, if your account balance is less than ¥500 and remains inactive for over 90 days, the account will be frozen and become inoperable. If your account balance is more than ¥500, it will become dormant, after which a $10 monthly maintenance fee will be deducted. If the account balance then reaches zero and remains inactive for another 90 days, the account will be frozen. Please note that if an account becomes dormant or frozen, any bonuses (credits) and XM Points (XMP) associated with that account will be lost.
For example, if you transfer funds to an additional account and are actively trading, please note that leaving your previous account with a zero balance for more than 90 days will cause it to be frozen. In that case, any bonuses and XM Points (XMP) will be lost, and you will no longer be able to view or save your transaction history. To prevent your previous account from being frozen while using an additional account, ensure it has a balance of over ¥500 or make at least one trade, deposit, or withdrawal within 90 days.
-
No prior notice or email notification will be provided regarding account freezing or dormant accounts.
-
A frozen account cannot be reactivated, but a dormant account can be revived at any time by making a deposit, withdrawal, or trade.
Leverage Limits Apply Across All Accounts
XM uses a floating leverage system, where leverage fluctuates based on the available margin. The available margin, which determines leverage limits, is calculated across all accounts combined, not individually. Please note that if the total available margin across your XM accounts exceeds $40,000 (¥4 million), the maximum leverage will be reduced to 500x; if it exceeds $80,000 (¥8 million), it will be reduced to 200x; and if it exceeds $200,000 (¥20 million), it will be reduced to 100x.
If you have multiple accounts with XMTrading, you can delete (cancel) any unnecessary accounts from your member page. If you have reached the maximum number of additional accounts, you can delete unneeded accounts and open new ones. However, please note the following points when deleting (cancelling) additional accounts.
Important Points When Deleting (Cancelling) an Additional Account
All open positions on the account being deleted will be automatically closed.
Accounts with open positions cannot be deleted (cancelled). If the account you wish to delete has any open positions, please close all positions before proceeding with the deletion (cancellation) process.
Margin Can Be Transferred or Withdrawn
Accounts with a remaining margin (balance or funds) cannot be closed. Please transfer the funds to another account or withdraw them before proceeding with the deletion (cancellation) process. At XM, all transfers between accounts within the same member profile are free of charge and completed instantly in real time. However, the minimum transfer amount is ¥500. If your account balance is less than ¥500, please first deposit funds or transfer from another account to bring the balance to ¥500 or more, and then transfer the funds. There is no time restriction on fund transfers, and deposited or transferred funds can be immediately moved to another account.
24 hours have passed since all processing was completed
At XMTrading, you cannot delete (cancel) an additional account until 24 hours have passed since completing procedures such as position settlement, fund transfers, and withdrawals. If you wish to delete an unnecessary account, ensure that 24 hours have passed since all such procedures were completed before proceeding. However, if you wish to delete an additional account immediately after opening it, and the account is unused, it can be deleted right away. If you have performed any operations, such as deposits or fund transfers, please wait 24 hours after all procedures have been completed before deleting the account.
Save Your Transaction History Before Deleting an Account
At XMTrading, closing your account will delete all trading history. If you wish to keep a record of your trades, be sure to save your trading history before closing the account.
