Using MarketPro signals with an XM account

Using MarketPro signals with XM

The workflow does not change from broker to broker:

1. Read the signal in MarketPro. Instrument, direction, entry, stop, three targets, setup type and timeframe.
2. Verify the level on your XM chart before entering, since quotes differ slightly between feeds.
3. Size it with the position size calculator, using the contract size for your XM account type.
4. Place the order in MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5.
5. Let MarketPro track it and notify you as each level is reached.

What differs between brokers

The same signal produces slightly different results at different brokers, for four reasons worth understanding.

• Quotes differ. Every broker builds its own feed from its own liquidity providers. A level of 1.0842 at one broker may print as 1.0841 or 1.0843 at another. On a 40-pip trade this is noise; on a 5-pip scalp it is the whole trade.
• Spread differs. Raw-spread accounts charge a commission and quote near-zero spreads; standard accounts fold the cost into a wider spread. The total cost is what matters, not either component.
• Swap differs. Overnight financing on the same pair varies materially between brokers. On a trade held for a week this can exceed the spread several times over.
• Execution differs. How a broker fills a stop during a fast move decides whether your loss matches the level or overshoots it.

Always verify a signal's level against your own chart before entering. If a level has already been passed on your feed, the trade is not the same trade.

XM specifics

Three XM specifics worth knowing before you place a signal:

• Micro and Standard accounts use different contract sizes. An XM Micro lot is not the same quantity as a Standard lot, which changes the pip value and therefore the position size. Confirm which account you hold before sizing anything.
• Leverage depends on the entity and your residence, as with every multi-entity broker. Check your own account rather than the advertised maximum.
• Partner attribution cannot be changed on an existing account. XM has no change-of-partner process, so joining a cashback programme with an existing XM account means opening a new sub-account rather than moving the one you have. This is an XM policy, not a MarketPro one, and the app's request form makes the distinction explicit.

For account linking and cashback detail, see XM and MarketPro.

What MarketPro does not do

Worth being explicit, because "signals for XM" is a phrase used by services that do something quite different.

MarketPro never connects to your trading account. It has no API key, no investor password, no read access and no write access. It cannot place, modify or close a trade, and it cannot see your balance. Every order is one you place yourself in your own platform.

MarketPro is also not affiliated with XM, is not endorsed by them, and does not act as their agent. Where a cashback programme exists it is described explicitly on the cashback page, and it is opt-in.
