4XC review

Risk warning: CFDs and leveraged trading can lead to rapid losses. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, and you may lose money.

4XC is aimed at international traders who want MT4 or MT5, social-trading options and a choice of account pricing, and who accept the limits of its offshore regulatory position. Standard has a $50 minimum deposit; Pro and VIP instead pair raw FX spreads with commissions. The decisive drawback is that 4xCube Ltd’s Cook Islands permission is described as a money-changing licence, not verified CFD authorisation, and no statutory compensation scheme covering every account is identified. Financing and non-trading charges also affect the cost of using the account.

How we reviewed it: This assessment considers the broker’s stated legal, account, fee, product and platform terms; it does not present broker claims as independently tested execution results. See our review methodology.

4XC operates through 4xCube Ltd, which the licensing record identifies as holding Cook Islands FSC permission MC03/2018 for money-changing. This is not verified as authorisation to provide leveraged forex, CFDs or securities dealing, so it does not establish investment-services oversight for those products.

Regulation and Client Protections

Segregation concerns how client money is held; negative balance protection concerns whether losses can exceed an account balance. 4XC's stated protection against negative balances is limited by client type and asset class, and segregation does not itself provide compensation if a firm fails.

Pricing depends on the account and instrument. Standard combines floating spreads with no standard forex dealing commission; Pro and VIP use raw FX spreads plus commissions. For frequent trading, compare the combined spread and commission per trade; for positions held overnight or accounts used infrequently, financing and non-trading fees may matter more.

Spreads, Commissions and Total Trading Costs

Standard spreads start at 1.0 pip, with no standard forex dealing commission. Pro lists raw FX spreads from 0.0 pips and a $5 commission per standard lot round trip; VIP lists $4 per standard lot round trip. Minimum spreads are not guaranteed trading costs: floating spreads can vary, and actual cost also depends on the trade and any applicable financing.

Other Trading and Non-Trading Fees

Swap-free terms are limited to the Standard account and the stated exemption lasts 30 days, after which the account converts to a standard interest-bearing account. That limit matters to traders holding positions beyond the exemption period.

Standard has the lowest entry threshold at $50 and no standard forex dealing commission, making it the straightforward choice for a smaller initial deposit or traders who prefer spread-only forex pricing. Pro requires $100 and pairs raw FX spreads from 0.0 pips with a $5 per standard lot round-trip commission; VIP requires $10,000 and lists a $4 round-trip commission. The lower commission on VIP comes with a substantially higher minimum, so the account only makes sense if that threshold and the spread-plus-commission structure suit your activity. Investment is linked to a PAMM strategy, with minimum deposit, leverage, spreads and performance fees depending on the manager. Forward Contracts are available on MT5, with quoted pricing and no overnight swaps or dealing commission. Islamic swap-free terms are limited to Standard accounts.

4XC offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 on desktop, web and mobile, but automation narrows the platform choice. MT4 Expert Advisors and custom scripts require desktop MT4; MT5 supports MQL5 strategies and more detailed testing than its basic web terminal. Traders needing automated execution should therefore plan around desktop or VPS use; the broker has no proprietary platform.

Desktop, Web and Trading Platforms

Web and mobile access suit trading away from a desktop, but they do not replace the desktop or VPS setup needed to run bots.

These markets provide derivative price exposure rather than ownership of the underlying asset; a crypto CFD, for example, does not create a coin holding in a wallet. UK retail clients are excluded from crypto CFDs, and leverage eligibility also varies by product and client.

4XC describes its execution as STP/NDD and permits scalping, hedging and news trading, but these are broker descriptions rather than independently measured execution results. Market orders can fill above or below the requested price as quotes change. For execution workflows, MT4 and MT5 support MQL-based Expert Advisors and automated strategies; VPS hosting is available subject to account activity or balance criteria. Copy and social trading are available through platforms and services including HokoCloud, while PAMM accounts let a selected manager trade pooled funds on strategy-dependent terms. For research and learning, the listed resources include trading signals, an economic calendar, market insights, and connections to Alpha FX Academy, T4F Academy and UK Trading Academy.

Complete account verification before funding or trading. The funding table shows that withdrawal availability and processing information is less complete for some routes than for deposits, so the route you intend to use can affect how easily you can move money back out.

Account Opening and Identity Verification

4XC requires KYC verification. Its stated documents are a valid passport, national ID card or driving licence, plus proof of address such as a recent utility bill, bank or card statement, or rental agreement. The identity document must be valid for at least three months and include the requested personal details; address evidence must be in the applicant's name and dated within the previous six months.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Customer Support

Support channels include live chat, email, phone and an account manager. Listed support languages include English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Russian, Romanian, Greek, Korean, Serbian, Latvian and Somali. The stated hours are Monday to Friday, 00:00–24:00 GMT+2; Saturday, 00:00–07:00 GMT+2; Sunday closed. Contact email: [email protected]; phone: +44 8000 488 033.

The practical account decision is between Standard’s lower $50 entry point and the raw-spread, commission-based Pro and VIP accounts; the latter require $100 and $10,000 respectively. PAMM investors face a different choice because minimum deposits and costs depend on the selected manager. For platform use, MT4/MT5 and copy-trading options are relevant only if the broker’s offshore regulatory position is acceptable; clients requiring verified CFD authorisation or a statutory compensation scheme covering every account are a poor fit.

Choose Standard for its lower deposit threshold; consider Pro or VIP only if their spread-and-commission pricing fits your trading activity and, for VIP, the $10,000 minimum is acceptable.
