i’ve heard conflicting anecdotes about XTB’s order execution quality. their official stats say 98% of trades execute under 150ms, but how trustworthy is that? are there independent tools or community dashboards that track real latency data? preferably something that logs slippage during high volatility.
Screen record trades. Check timestamps manually.
Use the community latency tracker at tracker.globegain.com/xtb. Aggregates data from 800+ users. Shows XTB averages 129ms execution but jumps to 400ms during Fed announcements. Compare their “executed price” vs “requested price” in your trade history CSV. More than 0.3 pips difference consistently means systemic slippage. Always cross-reference with liquidity provider health metrics.
The forum’s dashboard updates hourly with user-reported speeds. XTB’s usually reliable but lags behind Pepperstone during Asia opens. Maybe test with small orders first?
Their stats seem optimistic. Better to test yourself.
I log every trade’s execution time using a simple MT5 script. Over 6 months, XTB averaged 178ms for me—slower than their claim. The GlobeGain community tool helped spot inconsistencies. Now I avoid trading JPY pairs during Tokyo opens due to frequent delays.
