What is XM Partner Code FXTRD?#
FXTRD is the public partner code (also known as an introducing broker code or IB code) for ForexTradeLab, an independent forex education platform. When you enter FXTRD during XM account registration, it links your new account to ForexTradeLab's partnership with XM.
In simple terms:
- FXTRD = ForexTradeLab's partner identifier
- XM = the broker where you open your trading account
- Entering the code is optional and free — it does not add any cost to your account
Where to Enter FXTRD When Opening an XM Account#
The registration flow varies slightly by region, but generally:
Method 1: Enter the Code Manually
- Go to XM's official website and click "Open an Account"
- Fill in your email, country, and personal details
- Look for a field labelled "Partner Code", "IB Code", or "Affiliate Code"
- Type FXTRD in that field
- Complete the rest of the registration and KYC verification
Method 2: Use a Tracked Link
If you register through ForexTradeLab's website — for example via our bonus page or start trading page — the partnership is attributed automatically through the tracked link. You may not even see a partner code field in this case.
Both methods achieve the same result.
Important: If the registration form in your region does not show a partner code field, do not force the code into other fields like password or promo code. Simply use a tracked link from ForexTradeLab instead, or contact XM support for guidance.
Does FXTRD Give You a Discount or Extra Bonus?#
Let's be completely transparent:
- FXTRD does not change your spreads. Your trading costs are determined by your account type (Standard, Ultra Low, Micro) — not by any partner code.
- FXTRD does not change your leverage. Leverage is set by XM based on your account type and regulation.
- FXTRD does not unlock secret bonuses. XM's promotions (like the $30 no-deposit bonus or the 100% deposit bonus) are available based on XM's terms and your eligibility — not based on which partner code you use.
What FXTRD does is attribute your account to ForexTradeLab. This means ForexTradeLab may receive a commission from XM for the introduction — at zero additional cost to you. Your spreads, fees, bonuses, and trading conditions remain exactly the same as any other XM client.
Why Do Traders Use Partner Code FXTRD?#
Traders who register with FXTRD typically do so because they found value in ForexTradeLab's free resources:
- 40+ educational articles covering XM account types, spreads, bonuses, Islamic accounts, and trading strategies
- Free trading tools — lot calculator, pip value calculator, pivot calculator, profit/loss calculator, broker quiz, and session clock
- Bilingual content — everything available in English and Arabic
- Honest, no-hype approach — risk warnings included, no guaranteed-profit claims
Using the partner code is a way to support the platform that helped you — without paying anything extra.
FXTRD and the $30 No-Deposit Bonus#
One of the most common questions: Can I still get the XM $30 no-deposit bonus if I use partner code FXTRD?
Yes. The $30 no-deposit bonus is an XM promotion available to eligible new clients regardless of whether they register with a partner code or not. The bonus terms are set entirely by XM and depend on:
- Your country of residence
- The XM entity serving your region
- Completing identity verification (KYC)
- Opening your first real account
Partner code FXTRD does not add, remove, or modify any bonus. For a step-by-step guide, see our article: How to Get XM $30 No-Deposit Bonus.
FXTRD and Islamic (Swap-Free) Accounts#
Yes, you can use FXTRD when opening an account that you later convert to swap-free (Islamic). The partner code has no effect on Islamic account eligibility. After registration, simply contact XM support to request swap-free conversion — it is free and typically activated within 24 hours. See our Islamic trading guide for details.
Is FXTRD Safe to Use?#
Yes. A partner code is simply a tracking identifier used by XM's partner program. It does not:
- Give anyone access to your account
- Share your personal information with the partner
- Change your trading conditions in any way
- Lock you into any obligation
XM manages all partner relationships through its own systems. ForexTradeLab never has access to your account, password, funds, or personal data.
FXTRD vs Other Partner Codes#
You may encounter other partner codes from different websites, YouTubers, or influencers. Here is what to know:
| Factor | Any Partner Code (including FXTRD) |
|---|---|
| Affects your spreads | No |
| Affects your leverage | No |
| Affects bonus eligibility | No |
| Costs you anything | No |
| Gives partner access to your account | No |
All partner codes work the same way mechanically. The difference is who you are supporting — and whether that source provides reliable, honest educational content.
Tip: Be cautious of anyone claiming their partner code gives you "exclusive" spreads, "secret" bonuses, or "guaranteed" profits. XM's terms are the same for all retail clients regardless of partner attribution. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
How to Verify Your Account is Linked to FXTRD#
After registration, XM does not always display the partner code in your Members Area. If you want to confirm:
- Contact XM live support via chat or email
- Ask them to confirm which partner (if any) your account is linked to
- They can verify the attribution on their end
