I have been trading with XM for about a year and a half. So, I can say that this is a really good broker. For starters, the account verification is very fast. The account profile is extremely straightforward. even if you have some problems during account creation or anything else, the customer support is very good and ready to help anytime you want. But do be careful, as far as I know, XM has two separate servers. Those are the xmglobal server and the xm server. This can be confusing, but again, you can always ask.
