Important Notification

Wednesday 12th of November 2014

XM would like to inform you that during the month of October their MT4 server experts had recorded several disconnections occurring for a number of clients residing in the Asia Pacific and in the European Continent, which has resulted in disconnections in their MT4 terminals.

During the weekend of the 8th and 9th November while the markets were closed their system experts made significant upgrades to their server infrastructure including:

Hardware upgrades to XM's main Trading Datacenter in London. These upgrades have now lifted the maximum number of simultaneously connected users limit to 1,000,000.

Addition of a state of the art Fiber Optic Connection Network infrastructure between all their Datacenters in Europe and Asia Pacific which will increase execution speed even more from current levels, making XM the only broker with a fiber optic trading infrastructure connection network of this class and quality.

XM would like to take this opportunity to firstly thank you for choosing XM and also thank you for your cooperation while this very important milestone in their history has been achieved.
