Frequently asked questions
Does XS offer support in English?
XS's official English pages list English support. Check the latest official notice for hours and contact methods.
Can I use EAs (expert advisors) at XS?
EAs can be used on MT4 and MT5. Check the account type, instrument specifications and trading conditions beforehand.
What is the maximum leverage at XS?
A maximum of 1:2000 is listed, but account-specific, balance-specific and instrument-specific conditions apply.
How do I open an XS.com account?
Follow the four steps below. Register with an email address through the link on this site, complete identity verification, choose an account type (Standard first, or Cent for smaller sizes), then set up MT4 or MT5. No additional-account code is used.
Does XS offer an account opening bonus (no deposit) or a deposit bonus?
An account opening bonus (KYC welcome bonus) of ¥5,000, given when identity verification is complete, and a deposit bonus of ¥10,000 for a first deposit of ¥20,000 or more are listed. Both are credit. Check the official terms for withdrawal conditions and expiry.
What is XS's reputation? How does this site rate it?
Reviews cannot be verified, so this guide does not cover them. This site scores brokers on common criteria drawn from official primary sources. See the XS broker page on the main site for how the scoring works and its basis.
Is XS safe? What about licences and fund handling?
Check the entity name on the registration screen for the applicable entity and licence, and the relevant clause of the terms for how client funds are held. XS offers zero cut (negative balance protection), but the conditions and exceptions in the terms take priority. This site does not use unverified execution quality, withdrawal speed or reviews in its safety score.
How do I withdraw from XS? What if I cannot withdraw?
Apply from the client area using a method in your own name; requests are usually processed within 24 hours. If a withdrawal fails, check verification, the name, your deposit route and free margin in that order, then contact support. Bonus credit cannot be withdrawn.
How do I log in to XS?
After opening an account, log in to the XS client area with your registered email address and password. Then enter the trading account ID, password and server name issued there into MT4 or MT5. The client area login and the trading account login are separate.
What are the risks of trading with XS? What should beginners watch for?
FX and CFD trading carries a high level of risk, and you may lose your invested funds. Leverage of up to 1:2000 is listed, but account, balance and instrument conditions apply, and higher leverage magnifies losses. Start small on a Standard or Cent account and check the instrument specifications first.
Who is this guide for?
It covers the conditions XS publishes for clients resident in Japan, checked against official pages with dates. The operating entity, account types and bonuses can differ by country, so check what the registration screen shows for yours.
