X-STOX recommended setup

Which broker should you use?

Choose by the X-STOX software and the trading style you intend to use. The cards below react to your choice.

What are you running?

    Standard account

    Recommended by X-STOX for users running HyperScalp where a low-cost Standard account setup is preferred.

    X-STOX does not recommend this setup for high-impact news trading: spread expansion, slippage and execution latency can become significant around major releases.

    Check the gold symbol on the account you open against the spread bands on the HyperScalp Pro page — those bands describe the broker, not a setting in the software.

    Verified on Vantage’s help centre (Sept 2026): the Cent account shows the balance in US-dollar cents (USC), trades from 0.01 lots, opens from a US$50 deposit, and new Cent accounts are created on MetaTrader 5. Confirm current terms with the broker.

Recommended use reflects how X-STOX intends its own software to be run. It is not a ranking of the brokers.

Setup 01

Running X-STOX HyperScalp?

HyperScalp Pro runs gold on MetaTrader 5 and manages a group of positions at once. Two account environments suit it, and the choice is about cost and account structure rather than about the strategy itself.

  1. 01HyperScalp Pro
  2. 02Account type
  3. 03Broker
  4. 04MetaTrader 5
  5. 05Trading
XM

XM — Standard account

A single all-in cost in the spread, no separate commission line.

Open account — XM
Vantage

Vantage — Cent account

The same configuration and the same depth, with less of your own money behind it.

What the account has to do

Platform
MetaTrader 5
Account mode
Hedging, not netting — the engine holds several positions in the same direction
Symbol
Gold. Check which gold symbol the account lists, and its spread
Uptime
A VPS, because an Expert Advisor only trades while the terminal is running
HyperScalp Pro — the spread bands it was built for

Opening an account does not make a strategy profitable. It decides the conditions the strategy has to work in.

Setup 02

Trading major news events?

A release moves the market in seconds. In those seconds spreads widen, fills arrive at different prices than the screen showed, and the round trip to the broker is part of the strategy.

IC Markets

X-STOX recommends IC Markets for news-focused setups

News Hunter Pro is built around the minutes either side of a scheduled release, so the account environment in those minutes is what matters.

Open account — IC Markets
XM

XM — not recommended for this

X-STOX does not recommend this setup for high-impact news trading, because spread expansion, slippage and execution latency can become significant around major releases.

News Hunter Pro
  1. 01News event
  2. 02Volatility
  3. 03Spread · slippage · execution
  4. 04EA execution

No broker and no software removes spread widening, slippage or latency around a release. The software’s own spread cap can refuse to trade when conditions are too wide — which is a defence, not a guarantee.

Setup 03

Want to run HyperScalp on a cent account?

A cent account holds the same money and shows it in cents. Each trade is a fraction of the same trade on a standard account, so a configuration built for a larger balance can run with far less of your own money behind it.

Standard account

1,000.00USD

Balance in US dollars

Your deposit, shown as dollars. Position sizes are the broker’s standard lots.

Cent account

1,000.00USD

Balance in US-dollar cents (USC)

The same deposit, displayed in cents. Trading is in USC and the minimum lot is 0.01.

  • Balance displayed in cents (USC), not dollars
  • Minimum lot 0.01
  • Opens from a US$50 deposit
  • New Cent accounts are created on MetaTrader 5

As listed by Vantage in its help centre, September 2026. Contract sizes and conditions are set by the broker — check them before you deposit.

A cent account does not reduce risk as a percentage. It reduces the amount of your own money standing behind the same percentage.

Vantage

Suitable for traders who want to run selected X-STOX systems on a Cent account environment.

The technical part

Why your broker setup matters

An automated strategy does not meet the market directly. It meets your account first — and the same software on two accounts can behave differently.

  • Spread

    The gap between buy and sell on the symbol you trade. At M1 frequency it is the cost that repeats most often.

  • Slippage

    The difference between the price on the screen and the price you get. It grows when the market moves fastest.

  • Execution

    How orders are filled, and what happens to them when liquidity thins out.

  • Latency

    The round trip between the terminal and the broker. A VPS near the broker shortens it.

  • Account type

    Hedging or netting, standard or cent, the symbols listed and their contract sizes.

Together they are

Your trading environment

No single one of these decides whether a strategy makes money. Together they decide the conditions it has to work in.

Plain English

Who is who in this arrangement

  • X-STOX Technologies

    A trading software provider. We build and sell the software. We do not hold your money, we cannot trade on your account, and we are not your broker.

  • The broker

    A separate company. Your account, your money and your trading conditions are between you and them, under their terms and their regulator.

  • The introducing-broker link

    X-STOX is an introducing broker for the brokers on this page. If you open an account through one of these links, the broker pays X-STOX a commission. It does not change which system we recommend, and you are free to use any broker you like.

Nothing on this page is a partnership, an endorsement by the broker, or advice to trade.

FAQ

Questions about accounts, links and the offer

Which broker is recommended for X-STOX HyperScalp?
XM on a Standard account, where a low-cost standard setup is preferred, or Vantage on a Cent account. Both are listed on this page with their own buttons.
Which broker is suitable for cent-account users?
Vantage. Its Cent account shows the balance in US-dollar cents, trades from 0.01 lots and opens from a US$50 deposit, and new Cent accounts are created on MetaTrader 5 (as listed by Vantage, September 2026).
Which broker does X-STOX recommend for news trading?
IC Markets, for news-focused systems such as News Hunter Pro, where execution conditions around major releases matter most.
Why is XM not recommended for news trading?
X-STOX does not recommend that setup for high-impact news trading because spread expansion, slippage and execution latency can become significant around major releases. It is a statement about the setup for these strategies, not a judgement of the broker.
How do I open an account through X-STOX?
Use the button on the broker card on this page. It opens the broker’s own account form with the X-STOX introducing-broker code attached, so the account is registered to us. Complete their verification directly with them.
What is an IB link?
An introducing-broker link. It tells the broker that X-STOX introduced you, so the broker pays X-STOX a commission on the business you do. It does not give X-STOX access to your account or your money.
How does the free bot offer work?
Buy any one eligible X-STOX bot, open a qualifying account through the X-STOX link, send us the order reference and the new account number, and we issue a licence for a second bot. Eligibility and qualifying conditions are in the offer terms on this page.
Which bots qualify for the offer?
See “Eligible X-STOX bots” in the offer terms on this page. If it is not filled in yet, contact X-STOX support for the current list before you buy.
Can I use an existing broker account?
For trading, yes — every X-STOX system works on any account that meets its requirements. For the free-bot offer, the account has to be opened through the X-STOX link; an existing account normally cannot be moved to us. Contact support if you are unsure.
How do I claim the free bot?
Use the claim form on this page: your order reference and your new trading account number. We verify the account against our introducing-broker records and send the licence key. We never ask for your trading password.
Are broker conditions the same for every account?
No. Spreads, commissions, leverage, symbols and contract sizes differ by broker, by account type, by entity and by symbol, and they change. The broker is the only reliable source for what your account will do, which is why this page quotes none of them.
Do I have to use one of these brokers?
No. The software is broker independent and you are free to use any broker that meets the system’s requirements. These are the setups X-STOX recommends and supports.
