A global broker that’s built trust with over 5 million traders

Over the years, XM has built a solid reputation as a trustworthy and transparent online broker, living up to its company motto of ‘Big. Fair. Human.’ The markets can be unpredictable, and a solid foundation is key to success. That’s where education comes in.

A multi-award-winning broker with millions of clients, XM prides itself on its educational focus, which is reflected in the comprehensive Learning Center on the company’s website. The resources available include free tutorials, videos, and daily live education sessions. XM has designed its educational offering to act as a journey for traders, starting from the very basics for beginners, all the way to more complex strategies for professionals. So, no matter your level, there’ll be something there for you.

Probably the most unique innovation XM has made in the trading education space is its Live Education offering.

Through daily live sessions with market experts, traders can go beyond the standard evergreen educational content most brokers provide.

The live nature of the sessions means topics can cover current market events, helping traders know how to react in changing conditions. For example, a recent session covered trading strategies during a recession – topical in the current environment.

With over 800 professionals and more than 85 educational instructors, XM offers enhanced global coverage, including daily market commentary and research, and 24/7 support in over 30 languages.

XM Africa business development manager Marios Christodoulou comments: “This year we opened our first educational centre in SA, providing free offline trading classes, in addition to the existing resources on our website that are freely available to the public. We want to demystify the technicalities of trading and offer traders the opportunity to invest in thousands of financial instruments from a single online account. We are also committed to helping all our clients continuously develop their skills and knowledge, which is why we offer daily live education and webinars, hosted by over 85 market experts, in 19 languages.”

Through opening an account with XM, traders can start trading derivatives on over 1 000 instruments including forex, stocks, commodities, indices, metals, cryptocurrencies, and energies.

The best way to start your investment journey

When it comes to online trading, one of the first barriers prospective traders often come to is how best to get started.

“Really, the best way to get started is by opening a free Demo account, as this allows you to test various market strategies in a simulated, risk-free environment, with virtual funds. Then, with all the free educational resources we offer at XM, you can learn about different markets, approaches, and then actually test them out in Demo, to see which are right for you. Once you’ve built up the confidence, and feel you’re ready to enter the markets, you can open a real account and start trading with real money,” Christodoulou says.

“And the best part? You don’t lose access to your Demo account, so, you can always go back to test out new strategies as your individual trading style develops.”

To celebrate the company’s expanding presence in South Africa, and as a ‘thank you’ to its clients and partners, XM recently hosted an exclusive Black Tie Gala in the country, with performances from top local artists, and a lucky draw.

“In a country like SA, opportunities are scarce. At XM, we are expanding our operations in the country to rectify this and create more opportunities for all, while providing free access to comprehensive trading education,” added Christodoulou.

The company’s dedication to free education and the fact that it provides all clients with an account manager allows traders to explore the markets at their own pace, while getting the support they need. This, coupled with the low pricing and transparent trading conditions XM offers, is what sets it apart.
