How to choose an XS account by purpose
- Your first overseas forex account: Standard. It has no stated minimum deposit and works on MT4 or MT5. The bonus-eligible accounts are on MT5, so open it on MT5 if you also want the bonuses.
- Trying small trade sizes: Cent. It trades in cent units and has no stated minimum deposit. It is MT5 only and limited to currency pairs and metals.
- Tighter spreads with no commission: Pro. 0.7 pips average, no trading commission, $500 minimum deposit.
- Comparing cost including commission: Elite. 0.1 pips average plus a $6 round-turn commission. $500 minimum deposit, MT4 and MT5.
- Large funds and individually confirmed terms: VIP. $100,000 minimum deposit and customised commission. MT5 only.
- If you are unsure: open just one Standard account, and add accounts later as you get used to trading. The conditions for additional accounts are shown in the client area.
The XS bonuses assume an MT5 account
The account opening bonus (KYC welcome bonus) of ¥5,000 applies to MT5 accounts in JPY, and the first deposit bonus of ¥10,000 applies to MT5 Standard accounts (checked 19 September 2026). Both bonuses are for clients resident in Japan. An MT4 account is not eligible, so check the platform together with the account type if you plan to use a bonus. The conditions are covered on the bonus page.
After you choose an XS account type
- Check the registration details and the process in the account opening steps.
- Prepare your ID documents first (for example, a proof of address issued within the last 3 months).
- Check the MT4 and MT5 login details on the login page.
The rating criteria and comparisons with other brokers are on the XS broker page on the main site.
Conditions change by account, country of residence and time, so the official information shown during registration takes priority.
