Comprehensive review

xChief, formerly known as Forex Chief, is a forex broker that has been operating in the market since 2014. The broker is officially incorporated in Mwali, an offshore jurisdiction in Africa that does not have any specific regulations that cover forex brokers.

An important thing to take note of regarding xChief is that it does not have any properly regulated entities anywhere in the world that could attest to the credibility of this broker. Although it could be argued that the broker is subject to some oversight from the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA), this is a very loose form of regulatory oversight compared to what is typical in regions like the EU, Australia and North America.

Thankfully though, loose oversight also comes with certain benefits for the user, such as the ability to set up and fund a trading account with cryptocurrencies more or less anonymously, as well as ultra-high leverage of up to 1:1,000 on certain trading instruments.

xChief also has a pretty strong line-up as far as trading instruments goes, with more than 40 popular forex pairs, as well as CFDs on everything from gold & silver to energy commodities, stock indices, and a selection of cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, the broker also offers trading in stocks from around 100 US-listed public companies.

All the assets offered by the broker are traded on either the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) trading platforms. As usual, these platforms are available as either the standard downloadable version for Windows, as a web-based version for use on any computer, or as mobile apps for tablets and smartphones.

In addition to the standard trading platforms, xChief offers its own app that gives access to what it calls clients' “Personal Area.” This means that tasks such as deposits & withdrawals, registration, ID verification and customer support can all be done through the app.

The types of trading accounts offered by xChief includes the following:
– CENT account, with no minimum deposit, spreads from 0.9 pips and commission-free trading
– Classic+ account, with $10 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.6 pips and commission-free trading
– DirectFX account, with $50 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.3 pips and commissions from $2.5 per lot per side
– xPRIME account, with $2,000 minimum deposit, spreads from 0 pips and commissions from $3 per lot per side

All trading accounts allow for leverage of up to 1:1,000 on the most liquid assets.

Further, trading accounts with xChief can conveniently be funded with either an international bank wire transfer or by making a credit/debit card payment with all major cards. In addition, a range of e-wallet services like Skrill and Neteller, and cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin are also accepted.

Finally, customer support is offered by xChief via live chat on platforms such as Telegram, WhatsApp, WeChat, as well as a dedicated phone customer support phone number. As far as we can see, however, 24-hour support is not offered.

In conclusion, it is obvious that xChief is a broker that has managed to capture a part of the important African and Nigerian market since it first entered the business in 2014. We also like how the broker’s customer support team is available on several platforms, although we would have liked to see 24-hour support offered. All in all, however, xChief is a broker with a good line-up of trading instruments combined with competitive spreads, and may therefore be a decent choice for traders.
