The only account type that uses a commission structure is the Shares account, which charges a per-share commission based on the underlying exchange. Zero accounts are available only under the CySEC (EU) entity and charge a commission of $3.50 per lot per side.\"\r\n }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"What is XM's EUR\/USD spread on Standard and Ultra Low accounts?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n \"text\": \"XM's published minimum spread for EUR\/USD is 1.6 pips on Standard accounts and 0.6 pips on Ultra Low accounts. However, these are minimums \u2014 actual live spreads are higher on average. Independent live testing over 90 days found EUR\/USD average spreads of approximately 1.67 pips on Standard accounts and 0.82 pips on Ultra Low accounts. Spreads widen significantly during major economic data releases (NFP, CPI, FOMC decisions) and at market open\/close.\"\r\n }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"What are XM's overnight swap charges?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n \"text\": \"XM charges overnight swap fees (also called rollover fees) on positions held open past the daily rollover time (typically 22:00 GMT server time). The swap rate varies by currency pair, direction (long or short), and current interbank interest rates. Swap rates are visible in MT4\/MT5 under each instrument's specification. On Wednesdays, triple swap is charged to account for the weekend rollover. Islamic (swap-free) accounts are exempt from all overnight swap charges.\"\r\n }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"Are XM deposit and withdrawal fees free?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n \"text\": \"Yes. XM charges no deposit or withdrawal fees for e-wallets (Skrill, Neteller), credit\/debit cards, and bank wire transfers above $200. For bank wires below $200, a processing fee may apply. XM covers all standard transaction costs on its end.

XM charges a $10\/month inactivity fee on live accounts that have had no trading activity for 90 consecutive days. The fee continues monthly until the account is reactivated by placing any trade, or until the balance reaches zero. The fee applies to live accounts with positive balances only \u2014 demo accounts are not affected.\"\r\n }\r\n },\r\n {\r\n \"@type\": \"Question\",\r\n \"name\": \"How do XM's spreads compare to other brokers?\",\r\n \"acceptedAnswer\": {\r\n \"@type\": \"Answer\",\r\n \"text\": \"XM's Standard account spreads (averaging ~1.67 pips on EUR\/USD) are higher than ECN-style brokers like Pepperstone or IC Markets that offer raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus commission. However, XM Ultra Low spreads (averaging ~0.82 pips with zero commission) are competitive with many commission-based ECN accounts once the commission is factored into the total cost. For traders preferring a simple no-commission structure, XM Ultra Low offers a good balance of spread and simplicity.\"\r\n }\r\n }\r\n ]\r\n}\r\n<\/script>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n :root{\r\n
