XM broker offers its customers fractional pip pricing. This means that instead of quoting prices with four(4) digits, XM allows you to benefit from the smallest price movements by adding a fifth digit (fraction). Fractional pip pricing allows for tighter spreads and the most accurate quoting possible. This pricing is the result of our efforts to get the best prices from our multiple liquidity providers.
