Trends in Standard Account Spreads
Honestly, Spreads Alone Are Not Impressive
Even for Dollar Straight pairs, the spread is basically 2 pips or more, which is a fairly harsh condition.
Bitcoin's spread is $60, twice that of the KIWAMI Extreme Account, but not bad when considering the entire overseas FX market.
As for the Nikkei 225 (JP225), the spread is 7 yen/7 pips, which is one of the lowest levels,
so honestly, the Standard Account is better suited for trading virtual currencies and stock indices than for forex trading.
Merits of the Standard Account
Deposit Bonus
XM's Deposit Bonus can only be received with accounts that are Standard or lower (Standard/Micro).
Basically, a 100% bonus is granted for the first deposit, giving you extra margin.
The spread is too wide to be used for short-term trading (scalping),
but being able to have extra margin when aiming for price movements in day trading to swing trading might be an attraction.
XMP / XM Points (Loyalty Points) Are Generated
When you trade on XM's Standard Account, you earn unique points called XM Points (XMP).
The only condition is "holding a position for 10 minutes or more".
You earn the following points per lot for XMP.
| Status | Trading Days | XMP per Lot | Credit Value (USD) | Cash Value (USD) |
| EXECUTIVE | - | 10 | 3.3 | 0.3 |
| GOLD | 30+ Days | 13 | 4.3 | 0.3 |
| DIAMOND | 60+ Days | 16 | 5.3 | 0.4 |
| ELITE | 100+ Days | 20 | 6.7 | 0.5 |
If your status is ELITE, you can exchange points for cash, but the return rate is quite low.
Exchanging them for credit usable for trading on XM is the most reasonable option with the highest return rate,
but even with the condition of exchanging for credit at ELITE status,
- The Standard Account generally has spreads 1 pip or more wider than the KIWAMI Extreme Account.
- Even including XMP, the effective spread is wider than the KIWAMI Extreme Account.
This is the unfortunate part.
However, since you have to use a Standard Account to receive the Deposit Bonus,
it might be good to raise your status to cover some of the spread, which is the weak point of the Standard Account.
Since XMP status increases as long as you hold a position,
for example, you can achieve the Elite rank even with a small account balance by holding both long and short positions (hedging) of just 0.1 lot on JP225 and leaving them alone.
