XMTrading offers 55 currency pairs, including those most popular among FX traders. These pairs are classified into three categories based on liquidity and trading volume: major, minor, and exotic.

For major, minor, and exotic currency pairs, certain pairs are subject to restrictions on maximum leverage and trading hours. In addition, trading conditions such as the minimum and maximum trade sizes for each account type apply to all FX transactions, and swaps specific to each currency pair are charged on positions held overnight.

XM offers seven precious metals CFDs, available in two types: spot trading and futures trading. Gold (GOLD), silver (SILVER), and gold/euro (XAUEUR), popular among Japanese traders, are classified as “spot metals” and can be traded as spot products. Palladium (XPDUSD) and platinum (XPTUSD), previously listed as futures products, are now also available for spot trading at XM. Palladium (PALL) and platinum (PLAT), categorized as “precious metals futures CFDs,” continue to be traded as futures products. Please note that different trading rules apply to spot and futures trading.

Spot Metal

Leverage and trading rules specific to each account type apply to spot metals such as gold (GOLD), silver (SILVER), gold/euro (XAUEUR), XPDUSD (palladium), and XPTUSD (platinum). The maximum leverage for silver is capped at 400×. Currently, for held positions in spot metal products, long positions incur negative swaps while short positions earn positive swaps.

XMTrading offers two types of stock index CFDs: spot and futures. There are 20 spot stock indexes and 11 futures stock indexes available. Stock indexes are composed of the stock prices of major companies listed on each country’s exchange, or representative stocks from specific industries, and serve as indicators of a country’s economic trends.

Stock index CFDs traded on XM are subject to the same trading rules across all products, regardless of account type or leverage setting. The required margin rate, trade size, and stock symbol for each product are consistent across all four account types. However, spot and futures stock index CFDs differ in terms of swaps, settlement dates, and spread widths, as outlined below:

The difference between XM Stock Index CFD Spot and Futures

Please note that the stock symbols for spot and futures stock indexes differ. For spot stock indexes (Cash), the expiration month is indicated at the end of the symbol, while for futures stock indexes, the expiration month is shown in the format (e.g., DEC21).

Stock Index CFDs (spot)

XM offers spot stock index CFDs for 20 indices. Spot trading of these CFDs has no settlement date and features relatively tight spreads, but swaps are applied to positions held overnight. Currently, swaps for futures stock index CFDs are negative for both long and short positions, so for medium- to long-term trades, it is recommended to account for carryover costs.

Spreads are subject to fluctuations, so please check the latest figures before trading.

Stock Index CFDs (Futures)

XM offers futures CFDs on 11 major stock indexes. All stock index futures have a designated settlement date, with holding periods ranging from 1 to 3 months. Please note that positions held until the settlement date will be forcibly closed and will not be automatically rolled over to the next contract month.

Stock index CFD futures trading features wider spreads compared to spot trading. However, because no swaps are charged on held positions, it is suitable for traders aiming for medium-term swing profits while monitoring the settlement date.

Spreads can fluctuate, so please verify the latest figures before trading.

XM offers two types of energy CFDs: spot and futures. There are three spot energy products and five futures energy products available. Crude oil trading, in particular, is known for its large price swings over short periods in response to market news, making it popular among traders seeking significant profits through leveraged trading.

Please note that energy futures products have a designated settlement date. Any positions held until the settlement date will be forcibly closed, and they are not automatically rolled over to the next contract month.

The difference between XM Energy CFD Spot and Futures

Please note that spot and futures energy products use different naming conventions. Spot energy products indicate the expiration month at the end of the name (e.g., “Cash”), while futures energy products include the expiration month in the format (e.g., “JUN23”).

XMTrading allows you to trade eight major commodity CFDs within the same account used for regular FX trading. Commodity trading is a form of futures trading that involves grains and metals and has long been known in Japan as “commodity futures trading.” Exchanges for commodity futures exist not only in Japan but around the world, where a wide range of agricultural products and industrial materials are actively traded.

The commodity CFDs offered by XM consist of seven agricultural products and one industrial material, all traded on US commodity futures exchanges, with prices quoted in US dollars. XM’s commodity CFDs require a margin rate of 2% (effective leverage of 50×) across all four account types, and no swaps are applied. Each commodity CFD has a designated settlement date, and any open positions held until that date will be forcibly closed. There is no automatic rollover to the next contract month, so traders should pay close attention to the settlement date for each product.
