Tried to do scalping with XM, very quickly realised its not the way. Like Mandalorian, man.
Had to find diff strategy, and its swing trading. I can hold orders for weeks here, till they turn a profit.

I recently finished a trading course, which was not provided by a broker. It was an independent platform and I think it was the best decision I made. They gave us useful tips on how to choose a proper broker at the beginning of our trading journey.
One of them was to try to find a broker that fosters low trading costs. Before I registered an account with XM I thoroughly explored all the trading fees associated with the account I chose. The trading costs on this platform are by far lower than any other broker that I was considering.

those profound courses and live sessions provided by this broker play in the hand of even... me, the one who has already obtained skills in trading.
i imagine how rookies benefit from it, lol.

Hmm, it seems that this broker is loyal to novice traders. Because bonuses are more interested by beginners than experienced traders. Although I may be wrong.
By the way, to receive this bonus, there is no need to deposit your account. Although it seems to me that this bonus can be considered as compensation for those percentages that, for example, bank can charge for such transaction.

I just looked up this promotion on the website and it is not available anymore... maybe it is a seasonal type of bonus. Another explanation is that it is not being offered in my jurisdiction.
But there are many more promos on the website that I think are more beneficial to traders than the no deposit bonus, which I believe is not practical. Not many traders will even bother trading an account that little, and those that can make the account into something, do not really care about it.
XM offers other bonuses such as deposit bonuses and even competitions and a free VPS service. I prefer the free VPS service and the competitions rather than a bonus I cannot withdraw.

Well, it is an interesting approach to get attention from beginners but not for me. Anyway, I’m sure it is a pleasure to get such bonuses but I would like to add that XM also offers many ways to make deposits and withdrawals through various payment methods. Personally I transfer money through cryptos and it is indeed convenient.

$30 no deposit bonus sounds captivating.
Basically, I like that no-deposit bonuses because by making simple actions you can get additional money that can be traded and then profits made out of oyur trading can be withdrawn.
It's not surprising that XM broker offers such type of bonus since the company just confirms it commitment to being a user-friendly brokerage. That's why I am working with it =)
