Information

The experts at the Traders Union analyzed the trading terms and tariff policy of the XTrend Speed broker and its Xtrend mobile division. The analyses noted a lack of transparency in the formation of the overall client commissions. In particular, the website of XTrend Speed has no clear information about spreads and withdrawal fees. Xtrend's website lists the commission for withdrawal and provides a tariff grid: from 0.04 USD for Forex; from 0.4 USD for Gold and Silver, etc. Based on the bid/ask prices at the XTrend Speed website, we can conclude that for the EUR/USD pair the spread is from 0.4-0.5 pips.

Based on the results of the analysis, Traders Union analysts have concluded that XTrend Speed does not have the best conditions for trading signals. The broker offers a limited choice of instruments, for which signals are provided, high fees and there are questions about signal profitability. Therefore, if you are planning to trade signals, it would be a good idea to consider another option.
