XM has become one of the top Forex companies in the world and has many users all over the world. For that reason, it has become a highly rated Forex company, and GMO Click Securities is also a Japanese Forex company, and it is very popular with Japanese traders. Which one is better for actually using a Forex company?
XM company profile
XM actually has three companies. If you search online, you should find three hits: XM.com, XMtrading.com, and XMGlobal. The parent company of these three is the same “Trading Point Holdings Ltd”, but they use different domains (company) depending on the country they provide.
XM account type
XM has four types of accounts: “Standard account”, “Micro account”, “KIWAMI pole account” and “Zero account”.
User reviews, reputation
Japanese users are the main users of XM. We have collected reviews from Japanese users who have actually used the product, so please refer to it.
Distribution of XM registered users by country and region
I quoted from TradersUnion, a global trade review site. The country distribution of XM users is shown below. TradersUnion is a review site for forex companies and cryptocurrency exchanges. There are many reviews posted by users all over the world, so it is helpful, but it is better to keep it as a reference because there is fake information.
In the case of XM, there are a lot of Thai users. Overall, you can see that there are a lot of users in Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, and Central and South America. I have the impression that XM has succeeded in attracting customers because it will become one of the top Forex companies in the world.

On the other hand, in the case of XM Trading, Japanese users account for nearly 99%. In addition, it is clear that Thais, Koreans, and Americans are using this XM.
