XTB review and test<\/u><\/strong><\/h1>

XTB is an emerging broker for CFDs, Forex, stocks and ETFS. The CFD broker from Poland offers a wide range of tradable markets and its own trading platform xStation 5.

What does the XTB platform offer?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>

The first impression of the xStation 5 platform from XTB is very good. The platform is very clear and yet offers many functions. All functions are clearly structured and new customers quickly find their way around.<\/p>

On the left side you will find the trading terminal. Here you can find all tradable markets and CFDs that XTB offers. The search is very intuitive and you can quickly find the underlying assets you want to trade. If you click on an underlying, the trading window opens. Here you can find more information about the underlying or open its chart or save it in the watchlist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We especially like the possibility to open multiple charts in the main window. This is very convenient for people who do day trading or generally want to watch different markets at the same time. There is no limit to the number of visible charts. You can open as many charts as you want. Of course, as the number increases, each chart becomes smaller. This feature is a plus point in our XTB test.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the lower area of the xStation 5 platform, there is an overview of all open positions and currently pending orders that have not yet been executed. The lowest bar contains an overview of the available capital on the XTB account. Overall, we find this layout very successful. It is simple, yet functional and professional. If you are not satisfied with the size of the individual areas, you can change them at any time.<\/p>

Apart from the charts, the main window contains the other functions of the xStation 5 platform. Among them there is a window for news, an economic calendar, an informative market analysis, the training area and the account history.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Tools and indicators for chart analysis:<\/strong><\/h3>

Firmly integrated in the xStation 5 platform are a large selection of tools and indicators for chart analysis. Since chart analysis is very important for CFD trading and for a good trading strategy, XTB performs very well here in our test. In addition to the classic chart tools, important indicators such as moving averages, RSI, Fibonacci and many more are also included. The chart analysis tools offered by XTB are sufficient for the majority of applications and are more than adequate for CFD trading.<\/p>

An individual visual design of the chart analysis tools lets the charts remain clear. It is also practical that the settings can only be made for one chart. If you want to apply the settings to all other charts, you can confirm and apply them with a check mark in the settings.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Market analysis with heatmap, stock and ETF scanner:<\/strong><\/h3>

The heatmap offered by XTB is very practical. With the heatmap, you can quickly and easily get a rough overview of the development of the overall market. Some people may know this feature from other services, such as Bloomberg. Here, the heatmap is integrated free of charge into the xStation 5 platform of XTB.<\/p>

The interactive heatmap is arranged according to the categories Forex and shares from the USA and Europe. The development can be displayed for one day, one week or one month. Within the individual categories, the shares are sorted by industry. By clicking on the sector, you can view the individual stocks contained therein and their performance. Forex is displayed clearly and interactively for each currency pair offered.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The heatmap distinguishes XTB in our test and we made good experiences with it. Hardly any CFD broker offers this function and especially professional traders will appreciate it.<\/p>

Another highlight in our XTB test are the integrated stock scanner and ETF scanner. With the stock scanner, stocks can be filtered according to specific criteria. You can also search for individual sectors and countries.<\/p>

Shares can be searched according to the following criteria:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>
