Pros & cons
Fund safety
Client capital remains segregated from corporate operating balances in top-tier global banks. Clients of FxPro Global Markets Limited aren't covered by a statutory compensation scheme, so this score mainly reflects the UK and EU entities.
Retail funds held with FxPro UK Limited receive FSCS protection up to £85,000. European clients under CySEC coverage retain Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) protection up to €20,000 in insolvency scenarios. FxPro keeps client money in segregated accounts at tier-1 banks.
Account terms
FxPro enforces transparent no-dealing-desk terms without arbitrary profit cancellation clauses.
Account terms strictly outline order handling rules, prohibiting price manipulation or retroactive trade cancellations. Live accounts are disabled after 3 months of inactivity and can be reactivated on request, and no inactivity fee is stated on the FAQ page.
Costs
Trading costs rely primarily on spread markups for Standard accounts alongside raw pricing options.
Standard account spreads on EUR/USD average 1.4 pips, which sits at the higher end of the commission-free market. cTrader accounts offer tighter spreads starting from 0.2 pips on majors, with a commission of 3.50 per lot per side (7.00 round-turn).
| Instrument | Asset class | Typical spread | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | Forex CFD | 1.4 | pips |
| GBP/USD | Forex CFD | 1.6 | pips |
| USD/JPY | Forex CFD | 1.5 | pips |
| US 100 (Nasdaq) | Index CFD | 1.8 | points |
| US 500 (S&P 500) | Index CFD | 0.6 | points |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | Commodity CFD | 0.35 | $ / oz |
| US Crude Oil | Commodity CFD | 0.04 | $ / bbl |
| BTC/USD | Crypto CFD | 25 | $ |

Platforms
Software choices span MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, TradingView, and the proprietary FxPro Platform.
Platform choices accommodate diverse technical workflows, including automated Expert Advisors on MT4/MT5 and cBots on cTrader. Integrated charting, custom indicators and mobile apps let you trade from both desktop and mobile.
Execution
FxPro uses a no-dealing-desk model and publishes fill statistics.
Most orders are routed to external liquidity providers, although FxPro says part of the order flow is matched internally. FxPro regularly publishes execution metrics covering slippage percentages and trade execution speeds on its corporate site.
Leverage
Your maximum leverage depends on the legal entity you trade with and the limits where you live.
Retail clients of the FCA and CySEC entities are capped at 1:30 on major forex pairs. FxPro's leverage page lists much higher limits for its international entity, including unlimited leverage on forex majors and gold, 1:500 on indices and 1:25 on shares. Check which limits apply to you before you trade. The stop-out level is 0% on all account types.
Account types
Account structures differentiate based on execution model and platform choice.
| Account | Min deposit | Commission | Swap | Spread | Demo | Islamic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FxPro Standard | $100 | Spread-only | Variable overnight swap | From 1.2 pips · Variable | Yes | Not stated |
| FxPro cTrader | $100 | $7 per lot round-turn | Variable overnight swap | From 0.2 pips · Variable | Not stated | Not stated |
| FxPro Raw+ | $100 | $7 per lot round-turn | Variable overnight swap | From 0 pips · Variable | Yes | Not stated |
Standard accounts feature commission-free pricing with spread markups across MT4 and MT5. cTrader and Raw+ accounts provide direct raw market spreads coupled with fixed commission charges per round-turn lot.
Funding
FxPro doesn't charge for deposits or withdrawals, although your bank, payment provider or e-wallet might.
Funding options include Visa, Mastercard, wire transfer, PayPal and Skrill, plus Neteller in some regions. FxPro doesn't add processing fees, but third parties might. FxPro doesn't publish a fixed minimum for the account itself and recommends starting with around 1,000 USD. The 100 USD we show in the tables is the minimum per deposit on the client-area deposit form we checked, although limits can vary by payment method and region.
Withdrawal requests are processed within 1 working day, and arrival times then depend on the method: international bank wires take 3 to 5 working days, Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) and local transfers up to 2 working days, and card withdrawals around 10 working days.
Support
Customer support operates 24/5 across multiple communication channels and languages.
Multilingual support runs continuously during trading hours via live chat, email, and telephone lines. A dedicated online Help Centre provides structured answers to common account management, technical, and funding queries.
Availability
Global service availability excludes specific restricted jurisdictions including the US and Canada.
FxPro accepts clients globally through its regional regulated entities, maintaining compliance with local restrictions. Residents of the United States, Canada, and sanctioned countries remain ineligible for live trading account opening.
Verdict
FxPro has a solid regulatory footing, backed by FCA and CySEC oversight. Its standard spreads are wider than those of low-cost rivals, but its execution record, cTrader support and long history keep it competitive if you trade several asset classes.
FxPro is right for you if you want transparent execution, a choice of platforms and proper regulatory protection. It is less ideal if your trading strategy relies entirely on sub-1.0 pip standard spreads without commission add-ons.
Traders who run automated EAs across MetaTrader or cBots on cTrader will find FxPro well matched to their workflow. Scalpers focusing purely on minimal holding costs may prefer brokers with raw spreads.

General CFD risk warning
CFDs are complex leveraged products and carry a high risk of rapid losses. They do not give you ownership of the underlying asset. Depending on your jurisdiction, broker entity and client classification, protections such as leverage limits and negative-balance protection may differ or may not apply. Where negative-balance protection is not provided, losses may exceed the funds you deposit. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

Broker availability, spreads, fees, leverage, products and legal protections, including compensation schemes and negative-balance protection, vary by the broker’s legal entity, your country of residence and your client classification, and may change over time.
