Intro
XTB's default selection includes only CFDs. Some European clients can also trade real stocks and ETFs. Popular assets like bonds, mutual funds, options or futures are not available.
XTB is a CFD broker. To learn more about CFDs, read our CFD trading tips.
Disclaimer: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
XTB's CFD selection is, on the whole, similar to eToro's but less than Capital.com's.

You can't change the default leverage level of the products. This is a drawback, as we believe this is an important factor you should be able to control.
Changing the leverage manually is a very useful feature when you want to lower the risk of your trade. Be careful with forex and CFD trading, as preset leverage levels may be too high.
Real stocks and ETFs
Trading real stocks and ETFs is available for EU clients, except in Cyprus and Hungary. The stock product selection is great, though the number of ETFs is low.
