XS offers leveraged FX and other CFDs through several regional companies. This profile separates the global XS.com offer, whose reviewed legal documents name XS Ltd in Seychelles, from the Cyprus XS Markets offer. Account names, leverage, funding and protection change with the actual contracting company.[3]
Checked 11 October 2026. Three material distinctions affect the global offer: its published insurance certificate has passed its stated end date; the agreement and help centre describe different inactivity rules; and a VIP trading account is separate from the volume-based VIP rewards programme.[9][58][33]

| Withdrawal of benefit | The broker can change or withdraw eligibility and recover charges/profits for alleged abusive use, including specified hedging.Source 25 |
Pricing & charges16
Inactivity charges, restricted access and account closure
| Rule | Trigger and consequence |
|---|---|
| Contractual fee reservation | June 2026 agreement: one year without funding/trading activity permits an annual USD 50-equivalent charge; a smaller balance may be taken in full and the account archived.Source 5 |
| Help-centre operational rule | FAQ says no inactivity fees; one inactive month with balance below USD 1 moves the account to read-only mode.Source 58 |
| Conflict retained | The public sources do not explain when the fee reservation overrides the FAQ or how a read-only account is reactivated.Source 58 |
| Voluntary closure | Request closure using the registered email address; withdraw all funds first. Closure is separate from an inactivity charge.Source 59Source 60 |
| Programme inactivity | Trading Miles tier demotion after 20 inactive days affects loyalty benefits, not the account’s deactivation timer.Source 32 |
Trading rules & execution
Sections ↑Reference table17
Margin, position size and leverage models
| Item | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Core Standard / Pro / Elite minimum | 0.01 standard lot. Margin call 40%; stop-out 20%.Source 12Source 15Source 16 |
| Contractual liquidation | Agreement §9.5 permits discretionary closure below 100%; automatic thresholds: ≤50% certain VIP, 10% Cent, 20% others. Micro’s advertised 10% differs.Source 5 |
| Equity-based accounts | MT5 account names ending EQ; leverage depends on account equity and instrument group.Source 26 |
| Lot-based accounts | MT4 / MT5, excluding specified Cent/Micro variants; the instrument’s net open volume determines progressive tiers.Source 27 |
| Headline ceilings | The lot-based summary lists FX majors/gold up to 1:2000, oil/major indices up to 1:500, FX exotics up to 1:200. These are ceilings, not every position’s rate.Source 27 |
| Hedged margin | Core account cards advertise zero hedged margin. Releasing one side can create a new margin requirement.Source 12Source 26 |

Higher-margin periods and exit mechanics
| Situation | Published consequence |
|---|---|
| Major economic news | EQ page: 15 minutes before until 5 minutes after the relevant release.Source 26 |
| Weekend reopening / closing | EQ page: two hours before Friday close and one hour after the instrument’s Monday open; holiday changes can apply.Source 26 |
| Which trades change | New trades during the window face the higher margin; previously opened positions retain their earlier requirement. Closing one hedged leg may fail if the residual position lacks margin.Source 26 |
Reference table20
Execution and order behaviour
| Area | Documented treatment |
|---|---|
| Counterparty | Execution policy describes XS Ltd as principal. Do not translate an account label into a universal agency-only execution promise.Source 6 |
| Orders | Market orders; buy/sell limits and stops; stop-loss and take-profit. Execution can slip and large/unusual orders can require manual handling.Source 6 |
| Stop triggers | Long stop-loss/take-profit use Bid; short positions use Ask. A chart may show a different quote side.Source 6 |
| Trailing stop | Runs in the client terminal and stops updating when that terminal is offline; ordinary stop-loss/take-profit are server-side.Source 6 |
Reference table21
Platform outage: the published dealing procedure
| Step | XS Ltd agreement instruction |
|---|---|
| Send the instruction | Email [email protected] from the registered email address.Source 5 |
| Know when it is accepted | Sending alone is not execution: it becomes binding only when recorded as executed and confirmed. Trading hours apply.Source 5 |
| Identity / delay / dispute | Unclear or unauthenticated instructions may be refused; first-come processing can delay execution. Raise a wrong or missing confirmation within ten business days.Source 5 |
| Connection troubleshooting | Check the correct account, password and server; restart/update the terminal as directed by the help centre.Source 73 |
Reference table22
Trading hours and server-time conventions
| Market | Illustrative regular schedule |
|---|---|
| FX | Monday 00:05 to Friday 23:55, server time; exceptional closures can supersede this.Source 46 |
| Gold / silver | Monday 01:05 to Friday 23:55; daily midnight maintenance break.Source 47 |
| US30 / US100 / US500 | 01:00–23:59 with the midnight break; other indices have different sessions.Source 49 |
| Crypto | Generally 24/7 subject to server maintenance and instrument availability.Source 51 |

Funding fees and practical withdrawal controls
| Issue | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Ordinary broker fee | Normal deposits/withdrawals are advertised without an internal fee; banks, conversion and other third parties can still charge.Source 23 |
| No-trading withdrawals | Funding page reserves up to 3%. Agreement clause 19.9 specifies 3% of deposited funds where cash moves without, or below its discretionary threshold of, trading.Source 5 |
| Chargebacks | Agreement §19.10: USD 50-equivalent administration, plus unsuccessful-chargeback amounts and provider charges.Source 5 |
| Deposit ownership / return route | Third-party deposits are prohibited; withdrawals must return through the original method.Source 63Source 62 |
| Open positions | Withdrawal is possible only with sufficient free margin. A positive balance is not the same as withdrawable free cash.Source 61 |
| Processing versus receipt | FAQ quotes normal processing within 24 hours and says weekend requests are processed; the method’s settlement timetable remains separate.Source 64Source 65 |
| Cancel before completion | Pending requests can be cancelled through Funds → Transaction History.Source 66 |

| Review / conversion | Published review target: five working days. A universal cash conversion ratio and minimum redemption were not established.Source 31 |
| Expiry / termination consequence | Programme termination can occur on five working days’ notice, with unredeemed points forfeited.Source 32 |

| Deposit distinction | The rewards programme has no deposit qualification; the VIP trading account separately lists USD 100,000 minimum funding.Source 33 |
| Counting / reassessment | Programme terms count opening and/or closing volume within the quarter and reassess quarterly.Source 34 |

Regulation & client protection
Sections ↑Reference table29
Regional permissions and their practical scope
| Route | What the evidence establishes |
|---|---|
| Global Seychelles | The main global legal-document route names XS Ltd in Seychelles. Retain that entity’s accepted account terms.Source 3 |
| Cyprus | Current CySEC firm entry identifies XS Markets and its approved xsmarkets.com domain.Source 11 |
| Australia, Labuan, South Africa, Mauritius | Group-disclosed authorisations; current individual register permission extracts were not recovered in this review.Source 2 |
| UAE | The current group regulation page names XS COM Financial Consultation L.L.C. This company-published financial-consultation identity does not establish that it issues the global CFD account.Source 2 |
Reference table30
Client money and balance protection
| Protection | Scope and practical limit |
|---|---|
| Segregation | The group describes client funds held apart from company funds. It does not establish a universal deposit-insurance entitlement.Source 44 |
| Negative balance protection | XS Ltd’s June 2026 agreement protects against losses beyond invested capital, subject to its abuse provisions.Source 5 |
| Cyprus ICF | The Cyprus FAQ describes eligible compensation as the lower of 90% of cumulative covered claims or EUR 20,000. Eligibility conditions apply to XS Markets clients.Source 41 |
| Regional boundary | CySEC compensation and EU retail leverage limits are not extended to a Seychelles, Mauritius or other group account merely because the brand is shared.Source 39 |
Reference table31
Insurance: limit structure and current evidence
| Question | Certificate finding |
|---|---|
| Who is named? | XS Ltd; cover is shared with other affiliated entities.Source 9 |
| Per client or aggregate? | USD 5m for any one claim AND the aggregate, including defence costs/expenses; not USD 5m independently available to every client.Source 9 |
| Published policy period | 10 October 2025–9 October 2026 inclusive. It had ended at the original 11 October check and at the targeted recheck on 15 October 2026.Source 9 |
| Current cover established? | The official insurance page still linked that certificate on 15 October. No renewal certificate was established; this does not prove that insurance was not renewed.Source 9Source 8 |
| Document status | Insurance-broker confirmation names certain Lloyd’s underwriters; evidence of insurance confers no rights and is subject to the full policy.Source 9 |
| Landing-page scope | Civil-liability claims from error, omission, negligence, fraud or service failure; advertised above USD 10,000, up to USD 5m. Ordinary trading losses are not established as covered.Source 8 |
Reference table32
Account access and records
| Facility | Documented control |
|---|---|
| Two-factor authentication | Client portal → Profile → Two-Factor Authentication → enable Google Authenticator and confirm its code.Source 72 |
| Security scope | Website statements describe account/data safeguards; they are company claims, not an independent penetration test or custody audit.Source 45 |
| Preserve the agreed terms | Save the contracting entity, fee schedule and transaction confirmations associated with the opened account. Public brand pages can describe other regional companies.Source 3 |

| Positions already copied | The cancellation FAQ does not establish automatic closure, ownership of later stop amendments, pending-order handling or who manages residual exposure after disconnection.Source 69 |
| Fees | The fee FAQ links general pricing; it does not establish a universal provider-performance fee or the settlement fee when leaving.Source 71 |
| Outcome risk | Following a provider can lose money; its historical results do not guarantee a follower’s execution or returns.Source 70 |

Company, entities & brand history
Sections ↑Reference table37
Identity and routing
| Item | Documented distinction |
|---|---|
| History | XS describes Australian origins in 2010. This is group history, not the incorporation date of each current subsidiary.Source 4 |
| Cyprus former name | CySEC identifies XS Markets Ltd as formerly RockFrost Ltd. A former name is not evidence of a new client-account transfer.Source 11 |
| Other global companies | Footer also names Saint Lucia and St Vincent entities, a technology company and a payment agent. Incorporation and payment processing are different from brokerage authorisation.Source 1 |
| Global restrictions | XS.com states the global material is not directed at the US, EU, Australia or Japan; other restricted-country language also applies. Local group sites have separate eligibility.Source 3 |
| Cyprus geographic scope | EEA-focused offer excludes France/Belgium; the site also excludes US, Canada and UK residents and retail residents of Italy.Source 39 |
Reference table38
Entity or brand migration: what is established
| Issue | Current evidence |
|---|---|
| Account replacement | Changing type/currency requires a new account; the FAQ does not say balances and positions automatically migrate.Source 56 |
| Cyprus legal-name history | The regulator confirms the former company name, but the current account page/homepage differ over RAW/Premium naming.Source 11Source 38 |

|---|---|
| Which account specification applies? | Account-card averages and dated grid averages differ; use the contracted type, suffix and server specification.Source 75 |
