Trading Point Group, the owner of the XM retail trading brand, sent an email to customers on Wednesday saying that it will be migrating client accounts to Trading.com in mid-July.
"We are pleased to announce that Trading Point Group, the owner and operator of the XM brand, which operates worldwide through regulated entities, is launching a new brand on Trading.com on 20/07/2019," the broker's email said.
That email was sent to clients trading via XM's UK entity, which is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
It appears that XM UK clients will also be the first to migrate to the new Trading.com platform.
"Existing XM UK customers will be the first to take advantage of the exciting new features described above," said the broker's email. "[T]heir accounts will be transferred to Trading.com at the launch of the brand."
Look, new stuff!
In its email, Trading Point also said that the launch of its new brand would be accompanied by a number of new features.
That will include a new Trading Platform
Trading Platform
In the FX space, a currency trading platform is a software provided by brokers to their respective client base, garnering access as traders in the broader market. Most commonly, this reflects an online interface or mobile app, complete with tools for order processing.Every broker needs one or more trading platforms to accommodate the needs of different clients. Being the backbone of the company’s offering, a trading platform provides clients with quotes, a selection of instruments to trade, real-time updates on quotes, charts and is the main frontend which customers are facing.Brokers either use existing trading platforms and sometimes customize them, or develop their own platform from scratch. Since the beginning of the retail FX trading business MetaQuotes and its platforms MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) have been the industry standard, especially when it comes to automated trading.MT4 Shows Resiliency While MT4 has long been seen as ubiquitous amongst brokers’ offerings, a targeted push by MetaQuotes themselves has led to broader adoption of MT5 in recent years. Advanced trading platforms such as MT4 or MT5 also allow access to a wide range of asset classes available for trading.The development of trading platforms over the past decade has failed to successfully dethrone MT4 or MT5, notably in the retail market. However, in institutional markets, brokerage companies and banking entities also construct and utilize proprietary currency trading platforms to help satisfy internal needs with trades executed through institutional trading channels.By far the most important parameter for many retail clients is the optionality and pairs available on trading platforms. Additionally, demand by traders has led to a greater emphasis on newer features such as advanced charting and other tools.

The launch of the Trading.com website may signal that things are moving forward with Trading Point Group's application to become regulated in the USA.
In January of this year, the National Futures Association altered its listed of registered Retail Foreign Exchange Dealers - or RFEDs - showing that Trading.com was applying to become a regulated entity in America.
That process is still ongoing, but it has been almost six months since the broker filed its application.
