XM MT4 Account Registration Process in Malaysia
Our company offers Malaysian traders seamless entry to forex and CFD markets using the MetaTrader 4 platform. The registration process is tailored to fit Malaysia’s regulatory environment while delivering global trading standards. Start by visiting the official XM registration page, entering your full name, Malaysian phone number, and a valid email address. The system auto-detects your Malaysian IP and sets regional preferences accordingly. After form submission, you will receive a verification email within minutes to activate your account securely.

We provide three main live account types suitable for Malaysian traders: Micro, Standard, and Ultra-Low, each integrated fully with MT4.

Document Verification Requirements for Malaysian Traders
Identity Documentation Standards
To comply with Malaysian and international regulations, identity verification is mandatory. Acceptable documents include MyKad, Malaysian passports, or driving licences. Ensure documents are clear, valid, and scanned in JPEG or PDF format at a minimum 300 DPI resolution. Upload your documents via the “Start Verification” option in your XM dashboard. Our system typically verifies valid Malaysian documents within one business day.
Address Verification Process
Proof of residence must confirm your Malaysian address. Accepted proofs include utility bills, bank statements, or government letters issued within six months. Documents must match your identity records exactly, showing full address details including postal codes. Our verification team reviews these manually, usually completing the process within 48 hours.
Verification Submission Steps
Log in to your XM account, navigate to “Verification” under account settings. Upload identity and address documents separately. Confirm upload success messages and await email notification for approval. Keep files ready in compatible formats (JPEG, PDF) and size under 5MB each.

Executing Trades on XM MT4

We support market orders executing at current prices in under 1 second on average. Pending orders allow conditional entry with Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop, and Sell Stop types. Use these to automate trade entries when price reaches specified levels. Stop Loss and Take Profit orders protect capital and lock profits automatically.
Position Management Features
The Terminal panel shows all open trades with floating profit/loss and margin details. Modify positions by right-clicking to adjust stop loss, take profit, or close partially. Partial closes let you reduce exposure without exiting the entire position. Margin requirements update dynamically based on leverage and lot size.
Leverage and Margin Specifications
Malaysian clients can access leverage up to 1:888, subject to account types and regulatory limits. Margin calls trigger at 50% margin level while stop out occurs at 20%. Monitor margin usage in real time to avoid forced liquidation. Use margin calculators available in the XM dashboard for planning trade sizes.

Risk Management Tools and Account Security
Stop Loss and Take Profit Implementation
Effective risk management starts with setting stop loss orders to limit losses. We recommend risking no more than 2% of your account balance per trade. Use the built-in risk calculator in MT4 to determine appropriate lot sizes. Take profit levels should target at least a 1:1 risk to reward ratio, ideally higher.
Trailing stops automatically adjust stop loss levels as price moves favorably. Configure trailing stops by right-clicking open positions and entering desired pip distances. This feature helps lock profits while allowing room for market fluctuations.
Account Protection Measures
Security is a priority for Malaysian traders. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) in your XM dashboard for additional login protection. Passwords require mixed case letters and numbers, with regular updates recommended. Withdrawal requests trigger email confirmations and may require additional verification for large sums.
All data transfers use SSL 256-bit encryption. IP address tracking and login attempt logs enhance account monitoring. Our support team assists promptly in case of any suspicious activity.
| Security Feature | Description | Availability |
|---|---|---|
| Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) | Extra login verification via authenticator apps | All accounts |
| Password Complexity | Requires uppercase, lowercase, and digits | All accounts |
