XTB, a traditional trading reference that integrates cryptocurrencies
Launched in 2002, X-Trade Brokers (XTB) is a Polish broker offering to invest in a variety of assets across different international markets. The company has over 20 years of experience in the industry and is known for being the first to specialise in OTC markets.
XTB is a global listed group with a presence in more than 15 countries. In 2010, XTB set up its offices in Paris in order to offer its services in France, and has a French-speaking branch that is authorised and supervised by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), but also by the Banque de France via the Autorité de contrôle prudentiel et de résolution (ACPR). Like its parent company, XTB’s French branch operates under the Market in Financial Instrument Directive (MiFID) II to ensure the security of its users.
XTB continues to grow in France with a staff of 15. In addition, it should be noted that XTB’s French clients’ funds are stored and segregated at BNP Paribas. This means that XTB’s own funds are not mixed with those of its clients, guaranteeing their availability in the event of an extreme situation such as bankruptcy.
Through its online platform and mobile application xStation 5, XTB offers a wide range of investment choices, including CFDs, indices, commodities, crypto-currencies, but also equities and ETFs in Ordinary Securities Accounts.
Note that the purchase of shares and ETFs is done at XTB with 0% commission below 100,000 euros per month invested in the form of a dedicated securities account.
XTB’s particularly efficient sales service is worth mentioning, with an adviser available at all times, whether to help you create your account or to take your first steps on XTB with complete peace of mind. This service, which is totally free, is accessible by email, by telephone or via the live chat available on the XTB website.
With over 20 years of experience in the trading industry, XTB has developed tools that are recognised for their ease of use, which has notably enabled the platform to be ranked among the top 5 brokers in the world and to receive an award from Bloomberg in 2020.
Its mobile app, xStation, has also been named the best investment platform in 2019 and the best trading app in 2021. To date, 580,000 customers in more than 15 countries around the world trust XTB and its 5,400 trading instruments.

xStation, XTB’s in-house platform
XTB has its own dedicated trading platform: xStation5. It’s a true all-in-one platform, where you can find the different markets, news and the calendar of important financial events of the day, as well as trading tools, all in one click.
XTB’s trading instruments include, among others, 48 Forex currency pairs, CFDs on more than 20 indices from around the world with leverage option, CFDs on commodities (gold, silver, oil, etc.), more than 3,000 stocks with only a €10 minimum investment, or ETFs with 0% commission charged below €100,000 per month invested.

On the pure trading side, xStation allows you to navigate from one market to another thanks to the tab on the left of the interface, which offers you the possibility to juggle between stocks, indices, commodities, crypto-currencies, etc. This is also where you can monitor your open positions and pending orders.
The xStation platform has an extensive suite of analysis tools (to be found in the “Market Analysis” tab), including a stock scanner to quickly sort stocks through various filters of your choice and through fundamental data.

The news section contains all the important news of the day, whether it’s about stocks, indices, commodities or currencies. But you can also find real in-depth technical analysis by professionals, notably from Réda Aboutika, XTB France’s chief analyst, who shares his market analysis every week on television, which is a considerable time saver when it comes to evaluating the market.
You will find the most important news of the day in a condensed form, as well as the expected impact on the market and on the corresponding stock(s). In addition, the news is accompanied by captioned technical analysis to help you better understand the situations in question.
In the top “calendar” tab, you can also view important upcoming events for the day, their degree of impact on the market, and even the corresponding forecasts for that effect.
xStation mobile, XTB’s dedicated mobile application, is also particularly easy to use thanks to its extremely streamlined interface. Overall, you will find the same tools and information as on the desktop version.

How to invest? What is fundamental analysis? How to trade Bitcoin (BTC) or how to diversify your investment portfolio? These are all questions that we ask ourselves when we take our first steps into the world of trading. XTB’s training section offers comprehensive and enriching content for both novice and experienced traders.
These short guides, which usually only take a few minutes to read, will provide you with the knowledge you need to understand the markets and trading tools
Our conclusion on XTB’s trading services
With 20 years of experience in the trading world, XTB has undoubtedly succeeded in making its mark among the best brokers available today. We will appreciate, among other things, its very accessible interface both in desktop and mobile versions, but also the diversity of assets and tools offered.
Indeed, XTB will satisfy both traders and investors, professional or individual, and cryptocurrencies thanks to its Forex market, its index and commodities trading, its shares and ETFs, but also its CFD service on cryptocurrencies.
We remind you that CFDs are tools to be handled with care as the possible gains are proportional to the risks generated by the leverage effect. Therefore, only invest what you are prepared to lose and get the right information before investing.
Apart from the pure trading tools, XTB allows you to find all the main information you need for your trading sessions in one place, from daily financial news, to timetables of important events in the international markets, to training videos that are just a click away. Of course, all of these features are available on the PC and Mac versions as well as on the xStation mobile application.
Once again, we would like to emphasise the availability of XTB’s French team, who can be contacted from 8.30am to 8pm, free of charge, whether you have a problem with the platform or simply want to benefit from quality support to help you take your first steps in trading.
Finally, as a new XTB client, don’t forget that you can benefit from a free share for any deposit you make today, with no minimum threshold.
