Who FxPro is for — and who it isn't
Brokers aren't one-size-fits-all. Here's where FxPro shines and where it falls short.
- Active ECN tradersRaw spread accounts with commission pricing become more cost-effective at higher volumes, suited to traders who already understand execution-cost trade-offs.
- cTrader platform usersNative depth-of-market, level II pricing, and advanced order types not available on MT4/MT5.
- Algorithmic and high-frequency tradersEA support, fast execution, and trading-friendly policies suit automated strategies and short-hold approaches.
- Complete beginnersLimited educational content means this broker assumes you already understand trading basics. Brokers like XTB or eToro offer friendlier onboarding.
- Copy and social trading enthusiastsNo native copy-trading platform. eToro or ZuluTrade are purpose-built for following other traders.
- Traders prioritising lowest costs above allDiscount brokers in the same category may offer marginally cheaper commission structures for very high-volume traders.

Everything you need to know
In-depth analysis across regulation, costs, platforms, accounts, funding, and support.
Regulatory structure
FxPro operates under 5 regulatory licences:
- FCA — Tier-1 regulator (highest jurisdiction)
- CySEC — Tier-2 regulator (intermediate)
- FSCA — Tier-2 regulator (intermediate)
- DFSA — Tier-2 regulator (intermediate)
- FSC — Tier-3 regulator (offshore)
Track record
FxPro has operated since 2006 (20+ years). Editorial assessment: high-confidence on regulatory standing.
Cost structure
FxPro cost structure depends on which account type you choose. The trade-off is generally between spread-only pricing (simpler, slightly higher implicit cost) and raw-spread plus commission (cheaper at higher volumes, requires per-trade math).
ECN / Raw Spread account
Raw spreads from market liquidity providers (typically 0.0-0.3 pips on EUR/USD) plus a per-side commission. Becomes more cost-effective above moderate monthly volume. Specific commission rates published on the broker site.
Standard account
Spread-only pricing with no commission. EUR/USD spreads typically average 0.8-1.5 pips during liquid sessions. Simpler for casual or lower-volume traders.
Other costs to know about
Overnight swap rates apply to positions held past daily rollover, based on currency-pair interest rate differentials.
Most reputable brokers don't charge deposit fees, withdrawal fees, or inactivity fees on active accounts. Check the funding terms for your specific entity at FxPro.
4-platform support
FxPro supports 4 platforms — choice affects available order types and execution model.
MetaTrader 4
The industry standard for forex retail. Full EA support, custom indicators, automated trading. Mature ecosystem of community-built tools.
MetaTrader 5
Newer MetaQuotes platform with additional asset classes, more timeframes, and improved backtesting. Recommended for newer accounts unless you have legacy MT4 EAs.
cTrader
Spotware's platform — preferred by traders who want native depth-of-market, level II pricing, and advanced order types. Modern interface, faster than MT4.
Account type options
FxPro offers 4 live account types, all with a $100 minimum where applicable:
- Standard — Spread-only pricing with no commission. Most accessible.
- Raw-Plus — See broker site for details
- Elite — See broker site for details
- Islamic (Swap-Free) — Available for clients meeting religious requirements. No swap charges.
Demo accounts
Demo accounts are available free of charge, typically with virtual balance and the option to reset on request. Useful for testing strategies before committing capital.
Deposit methods
E-wallet deposits are typically instant; card payments take 1-2 hours; bank wires 1-3 business days.

Withdrawals are typically processed within 1 business day. Arrival times depend on method: e-wallets same day, cards 3-5 days, wire 1-3 days.
The same-method rule typically applies — withdrawals must go to the same source as deposits where possible. This is standard AML compliance, not broker-specific.
