All fees are charged as spreads, which happen to be fixed and range between 2-5 pips. We accessed its website during the weekend, and the spread on EUR/USD was showing 5 pips, which would be pretty high compared to its close competitors.

結論

Although that XTrade is an Australian-regulated broker and this broker was a pioneer in CFD trading and its extensive global reach made it one of the handfuls of top brokers around the world, last year they’ve gained a terrible reputation in the industry due to many client complaints about withdrawal issues, manipulation of prices, and huge spreads.
