My Experience with XC Market (XC / X CE) – Trader Beware
I want to share my experience with XC Market so other traders can make informed decisions.
I traded on XC Market’s vai MT5 platform, fully following their published rules. Their own Terms define scalping as trades held under 5 minutes, and I fully accept that such trades can be cancelled. However, a large portion of my profits came from trades held well beyond 5 minutes, which clearly comply with their policy.
Despite this:
All my trades were executed, accepted, and recorded by their system without any warning or restriction.
Only after my account reached ~USD 60,000 in profit and I submitted withdrawal requests did XC Market suddenly withhold my funds.
They later claimed this was to “protect my capital” or due to internal liquidity issues—neither of which is stated in their Terms.
This feels like profits are allowed to accumulate, but withdrawals are blocked once the amount becomes significant. Internal liquidity or operational issues should never be pushed onto clients after trades are completed.
After facing this issue, I researched further and found multiple similar complaints from other traders describing the same pattern. I was also concerned to learn that XC Market appears not to be licensed or regulated in the UAE, despite servicing UAE-based clients.
At this point, I am still seeking:
Release of profits from compliant trades, or
A transparent, trade-by-trade explanation supported by MT5 logs
Until this is resolved, I cannot recommend XC Market. Transparency, good faith, and honoring published terms are the bare minimum traders should expect from a broker.
If you’re considering trading with XC Market, do your due diligence and proceed with extreme caution.
