Yes of course! this is one of the main reasons to use MT5  . We allow all EAs .

Hello REsquare,

We work hard to confirm withdrawals as fast as possible, however the speeds is really dependent on staff hours and required movement.

This is our official policy: https://support.xbtfx.io/when-will-my-withdrawal-be-processed/

Hi XEsseKasper,

Currently as a secondary feature we have an exchange function tool for all clients, you must register an account with us to use it. This feature is for the convince to manage deposits and withdrawals of differing cryptos while having limited base currency options in our trading accounts.

We do plan to expand and offer a full exchange platform with fiat deposits in the future, following licensing .

XBTFX

Hello Extrago , yes we do, the lowest trade size is 0.01 lots. On forex pairs this is 1000 notional.

    Hi, I am trading with this broker three months now. Made only two small withdrawals up to now, without any issue. Both times I received funds within some 2 hours.

Is it possible to trade with ea with this broker?

Hey folks, I have heard that withdrawals with xbtfx are very fast. Some traders say that they received coins within hour, others say max 2 hours. Anyone here can confirm this? Thanx !

Hi team xbtfx! Is this broker working also as an exchanger, or only as a broker?  I have seen that there is exchange, but not sure if it is only for people with open account, or anybody can exchange coins here?

hi, does xbtfx allows trading micro lot on ecn account?

Hello Extrago,

Thank you for your patience. Yes there are commissions for cfd shares. USA shares are 10 cents per share . 1 lot = 100 shares. EU shares are 0.45% per lot, this is a notional charge for EU stocks similar to crypto fees. If you have more specific shares you wish to ask about and need more assistance please contact us [email protected].

Regards,

hello, would like to ask if there are commissions on trading share cfds? If yes, are there differences for eu and non-eu shares? thanks

Hello KontPont,

Exchange fees are approximately 2-4% depending on the crypto exchanged and market condition however we do not publish this or make a guarantee of this range because the market condition is always changing. Since we cannot have fixed rates, all fees are built into the amount received when using the conversion preview tool, at https://my.xbtfx.io/en/exchange ,  so there is no unexpected result when exchanging coins with us.

Regards,
XBTFX

What are exchange fees when depositing coins other than base account?

Hi
I want to register here, how long are withdrawals take? How can I deposit and withdraw? thanks

Hello Neconic,

This is correct and we have noted that we see crypto is becoming the new normal for international trading platforms. The big difference between XBTFX and other typical brokers that accept bitcoin is we offer tradable balances in MT5 where you to use the crypto as collateral to trade the global markets. For example, XBTFX has MT5 in base accounts for BTC, ETH, XRP , USDT, and DAI. A traditional broker with BTC deposit will normally require you to sell you btc to USD and trade with USD. Typically a fee is charged to do this when you deposit/exchange then exchange/withdraw making it very inconvenient. XBTFX supports exchange options as well but this is not a requirement as you can deposit and trade BTC directly.

Regards,
XBTFX

Ah, then I understand. Then explain, please, almost every broker offers cryptocurrencies nowadays. What can crypto brokers offer that is not available to regular brokers?

Crypto brokers are great because they provide features that traditional brokers don't. However, these functions are not clear to the majority. When they see that the deposit is in cryptocurrency, they simply do not want to keep money on the deposit, since long-term investments in cryptocurrencies are considered risky. DAI is designed to provide a complete guarantee against volatility. Its course is always stable.

I don't understand why these DAI accounts are so highlighted? This is one of the unclear why created cryptocurrencies. There is bitcoin, which is much more famous and generally number one in the cryptoindustry, by the way, it is growing. Why duplicate its functions or is the last post just a newsmaker?

Great News!

We are pleased to inform you that decentralized stablecoin DAI base currency MT5 trading accounts are now available as an account option. DAI usage is growing rapidly with the DeFi movement and DAI is a fantastic alternative to Tether or USD Coin because it's Decentralized. Now you can trade all our markets directly with DAI at XBTFX. Full DAI functionality of deposit and withdrawal is available at KYC level 1. To create a DAI account, visit the platform page https://my.xbtfx.io/trade/platform/MetaTrader5 select DAI as the currency when creating a new Live Account.

How we build a future for clients and partners

https://blog.xbtfx.io/how-we-build-the-future/

Dear current and future XBTFX traders and Partners,

XBTFX bridges cryptocurrencies and traditional trading technologies. We are currently operating under the jurisdiction of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines which allows broker businesses activity without the issuance of a forex broker license. The decision to incorporate there is a result of our desire to keep our product features high and license costs low while we build a magnificent product with each passing day of its existence. XBTFX does not hold a Forex broker license but is governed by the SVG Financial Services Authority under the Limited Liability Companies Act , Chapter 151 SVG. Holding a Forex broker license, or not, XBTFX operates in a manner that follows the guidelines of regulated brokers in order to build an untainted business foundation for future growth while protecting our clients and partners by maintaining a globally compliant standing .

1) We perform our business operations in a way "as if" we are licensed in a class A jurisdiction. Namely We:

Provide all the required High-Risk Disclosures for the products offered on XBTFX.
Limit access to our services to the best of our ability for clients where our offer will be contrary to local law.
Clearly state our policy with regards to client funds & AML procedures.
Have taken additional steps of developing legal notifications upon the entry of our website for multiple jurisdictions.
Don't directly market to individuals who are not existing clients. The only form of communication permitted in XBTFX is via e-mail for already existing clients.
Don't solicit clients from any jurisdiction nor do we target any country. XBTFX will never call you to deposit funds with the company.
2) 90% of our client orders are dealt in a zero-conflict environment with Direct Market Access to real liquidity.

3) We improve our services with each passing day by introducing new features to our back-end. A recent example is the integration of our help-desk service straight into our Client Area.

To further improve safety and build trust we are additionally :

1) Partnering with a professional AML compliance service as well as employing a KYT solution for crypto transactions*. XBTFX is committed to keeping illicit activity/tainted coins off of its platform, this protects us and our clients.

2) Developing our insurance fund that will back client balances in event of default and be used to cover negative balances. We are allocating 10% of our profit each month to the fund. We are also exploring several custody services to understand our options for keeping such a fund with a licensed custodian or have external oversight.

3) Working on introducing a second trading platform that is one of the top market leaders in terms of features and capabilities. We believe it will be a game-changer for clients that do manual trading.

4) Exploring several jurisdictions for obtaining a forex broker license and future expansion. This is a lengthy process that also has significant costs behind it and it is ultimately up to the regulator to decide if a license is granted, thus we can't provide a time frame on it.

XBTFX is committed to success, growth and protecting clients and partners for years to come.

Should you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to us.

Regards,
XBTFX Team

Dear XBTFX traders,

Please be informed that high volatility across the markets is leading to sharp moves in indices and currencies. As a result, spreads in the spot market have widened dramatically.

Specific to XAUUSD, trading conditions are notably worse in the past 24 hours. Kindly remain aware and vigilant of the increased risk and spread on XAUUSD trades because pricing may be erratic and intermittent in the coming days.

One of the key drivers of the XAUUSD dislocation seems to be arising from the exchange for physical ‘basis’ – aka the cost to swap Futures into OTC (spot) XAU - is essentially closed.

Many eFX LPs simply quote retail venues a spot price in XAU and then hedge into the Futures market. Essentially, LPs are taking a risk on the implied ‘basis’, skewing prices to try to attract flow that will reduce their risk. The USD funding squeeze has put significant pressure on LPs who are all generally short ‘basis’.

Refineries in Switzerland have also shut down and physical delivery of Comex Gold has been made nearly impossible because of flight restrictions, making it harder to physically deliver bullion to cover shorts.

We are not expecting pricing/liquidity to resume to more normal levels for a number of days but will do everything to work with our LPs to ensure the best possible pricing and execution for our clients.

We're here to help, If you have any questions about this or need assistance with your account please contact [email protected] .

An update on COVID-19 and Crypto

How the pandemic affects our business operations

We hope you and your loved ones are safe during this unprecedented time. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread, we want to reassure everyone that you can expect business as usual at XBTFX. With the surge of global market volatility, we’ve had record volume, client signups and deposits whilst, XBTFX departments operate from remote office centers in several countries and employees can work remotely from home. Our operational capability remains unaffected by the pandemic and increased business.

Crypto Volatility

In light of recent crypto volatility, we advise and remind traders to remain vigilant of leverage and the impacts of using crypto as collateral to trade when crypto prices are changing dramatically. When using BTC as a base account to trade forex while the price of BTC decreases, open positions that have a floating loss in BTC will see the loss amount in BTC increase as the price of BTC falls because the loss of an open position is converting from fiat to BTC in real-time. This dynamic is important to monitor in conjunction with account margin levels at all times.

We offer Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) MT5 accounts should you wish to avoid crypto base account currency volatility. To enable USDC or USDT you must verify your account with an ID and proof of address.  Users can exchange crypto at any time to USDT or USDC for use in Metatrader 5 within the XBTFX interface.

We're here to help, If you have any questions about this or need assistance with your account please contact [email protected] .

Sincerely,

XBTFX Team

Hi Everyone  ,

We have deployed Multi-collateral DAI for Deposit, Exchange & Withdrawals. Please see our blog post for details https://blog.xbtfx.io/dai-metatrader-5-xbtfx/

We are planning to offer MT5 accounts with a DAI base currency in the future. Since DAI is decentralized,  MT5 accounts with DAI base currency will allow traders to have a 'USD valued' based trading account without the requirement of KYC Level 2 that we normally require for stablecoins such as Tether and USDC.

XBTFX
