Automated trading on XM
- Expert Advisors (EAs) automate your strategy on MetaTrader 4 (MQL4) and MetaTrader 5 (MQL5).
- XM runs EAs on 1,400+ instruments with up to 1:1000 leverage and $0 commission on the Standard account.
- Back-test on historical data in the MetaTrader Strategy Tester, then run on a free demo before going live from a $5 minimum deposit.
- EAs run on the desktop terminal (Windows, macOS); a VPS keeps them running 24/5 even when your PC is off.
- Start, pause or remove an EA at any time; a margin call at 50% and a stop-out at 20% help limit losses.
- EAs do not guarantee results, and past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
