If you are new to XM, standard account
If you are new to XM Trading, or if you are new to trading in the first place, we recommend the Standard account. There is a reason for this, and the bonuses are very substantial. If you are a beginner, you will not be able to win the first trade. However, by replenishing the bonus, there is a feature that it is difficult to lose the full amount. Therefore, it is an account type that has a very strong meaning as a trial account. And the Standard account is the most opened account type at XM.
Maximum leverage 1000 times
The standard account has a maximum leverage of 1000 times. With a small amount of capital, you can manage a large amount of money. However, although it is easy to accumulate profits by saying that leverage is large, the speed of losing money will also be faster. Let’s trade with proper lot. It is good to keep 1% to 2% of the total capital as a loss cut amount.
wide spread
Standard accounts tend to have wider spreads. This is clearly wider than other account types. KIWAMI account is recommended because it is not suitable for those who mainly use scalping.
| KIWAMI | Standard | Zero | |
| USD/JPY | 0.85 | 1.60 | 1.10 |
| EUR/JPY | 1.41 | 2.35 | 1.45 |
| GBP/JPY | 2.31 | 3.73 | 2.33 |

Standard account notes
The standard account is an account type suitable for beginners and has a very high usage rate. However, please note the following points.
Not suitable for scalping
As explained above, standard accounts are not suitable for scalping due to their wide spreads. It is suitable for methods that settle in a few hours like day trading, or in a few days to weeks like swing trading. Not suitable for short-term matches.
