How to set up TradersProxy for XM

This page covers the XM-specific setup notes, the platform steps, and the server labels you are most likely to see. TradersProxy is broker-agnostic, so the connection logic is the same across brokers.

Use the broker portal for the exact server name. Use this page for the setup path and the routing notes.

Quick answer

Open your MT4, MT5 platform, find the proxy settings, and paste the host, port, username, and password from the portal. Select SOCKS5 where the platform offers it. Use HTTP only when SOCKS5 is not available.

If XM publishes server names, use the one from your account portal or welcome email. If the list below is empty, the broker has not made a public list easy to confirm.

Setup normally takes under five minutes. The exact menu path depends on the platform, not the broker.

Broker notes

What matters before you connect

XM is a broker note page, not a payment page. Use it as a routing reference. The platform steps are the same across brokers. The server labels and datacenter notes are what change.

Regulation, founding date, and platform lineup are listed above for context. They do not change proxy configuration.

The broker is commonly associated with London + New York (New York). Treat that as a routing hint, not a guarantee. Brokers move infrastructure. When the account portal and the public note disagree, trust the account portal.

If you trade on more than one platform, configure each platform separately. The relay is the same. The menu path changes.

Setup steps

How to configure the platform

The goal is simple: copy the portal values into the platform's proxy settings, save, restart if needed, then confirm the connection.

  1. Sign in to the TradersProxy portal and copy the host, port, username, and password exactly as shown.
  2. Open the proxy or connection settings in your platform.
  3. Select the protocol the platform supports. Use SOCKS5 where possible. Use HTTP only where SOCKS5 is not available.
  4. Paste the portal values. Do not type them by hand.
  5. Save the settings, restart the platform if required, and test the connection.

Platform notes

MT4 and MT5 usually expose the proxy settings under Tools, then Options, then Server.

cTrader usually exposes it under Settings, then Advanced, then Connection.

If the broker uses a different front end, follow the same idea: find the connection settings, choose a proxy type, and paste the portal values.

Server names

Server names and routing notes for XM

These are the server labels currently listed in the broker data file. Use the one that matches your account type. If the broker portal shows a newer label, trust the portal.

  • XMGlobal-Real
  • XMGlobal-Real2
  • XMGlobal-Real3
  • XMGlobal-Real4
  • XMGlobal-Demo
  • XMGlobal-Demo2

Practical note

If the broker uses multiple live or demo endpoints, pick the server that matches your account type first. If you are unsure, start with the label shown in the portal and only change it if the broker tells you to.

Common mistakes

What usually goes wrong

  • Wrong protocol. Use SOCKS5 where available. Use HTTP only if the platform does not offer SOCKS5.
  • Typed credentials. Paste the values from the portal so the host, port, and password stay exact.
  • Wrong server label. Match the broker portal or welcome email, not an old screenshot.
  • No restart. Some platforms do not apply proxy changes until you quit and reopen them.
Questions

FAQ for XM traders

  • Your XM server is assigned at account opening and shown in your welcome email and in the XM Members Area. Log in to the XM portal and check your account details. Common live servers are XMGlobal-Real through Real4 — your specific account determines which is correct.

  • Account type affects spread and margin structure, not server assignment. All XM account types connect to the same underlying MT4/MT5 infrastructure. Proxy configuration is identical across account types.

  • No. Leverage is a broker-side configuration on your account. TradersProxy has no interaction with leverage, margin, or account settings. It only affects the network path your order packets travel.
