The service is powered by leading providers Beeks FX VPS, and features the following benefits:

  • Online 24/7
  • Eliminates outages due to computer failure and power cuts
  • Top spec hardware
  • Accessible from anywhere


Clients can request the service via the XM Members Area and is offered as an entirely free service to all clients who maintain a minimum balance of 5,000 USD and trade at least 5 standard round turn lots per month. Any other clients who do not meet these requirements but still wish to receive the service can do so for a monthly fee of just 28 USD.
