FxPro Review 2026

Our Verdict

8.7 /10

UKDEFRITES +3 more

Five-regulator coverage with the FCA entity at the top is the differentiator. Raw+ execution on cTrader is competitive with IC Markets and Pepperstone on cost. The Standard account at 0.6 pip with zero commission is the cheapest no-commission tier I have tested at this regulatory grade.

Best for

• Raw+ 0.0–0.1 pip EUR/USD with $3.50 per-side commission across MT4, MT5 and cTrader
• Five regulators: FCA (UK), CySEC (EU), DFSA (Dubai), FSCA (South Africa), SCB (Bahamas)
• FxPro Trading Platform proprietary web app plus MT4, MT5 and cTrader support

Watch out for

• No US, Canadian, Japanese, Israeli, Belgian or New Zealand clients accepted
• Standard account 0.6 pip is decent but loses to true ECN venues for high-volume scalpers

Best for: Active traders in UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UAE, South Africa and Vietnam who want FCA-grade regulation with ECN execution
Not suitable for: US, Canadian, Japanese, Israeli or Belgian residents · Sub-$50 deposit beginners

Safety and Regulation

FxPro operates through five regulated entities, which puts it in the top tier of multi-jurisdiction broker coverage. FxPro UK Limited holds FCA license 509956, the entity that serves UK retail clients under FSCS investor protection up to £85,000 per eligible client. FxPro Financial Services Ltd holds CySEC license 078/07 with the EU passport and €20,000 Investor Compensation Fund cover for European clients. FxPro Financial Services Limited (DIFC) holds DFSA license F003333 for the Dubai International Financial Centre. FxPro Financial Services Ltd (South Africa branch) holds FSCA license 45052. FxPro Global Markets Limited holds Bahamas SCB license SIA-F184, which is the default routing for clients outside the FCA, CySEC, DFSA and FSCA jurisdictions.

I cross-checked all five licenses against the public regulator databases during recent testing. All five were active with no current enforcement actions or client complaint flags. The FCA license matters for UK retail clients because FxPro is one of only a handful of multi-jurisdiction brokers that hold the FCA license directly rather than routing UK residents to an offshore cabinet. FSCS coverage up to £85,000 per client is materially better than the CySEC ICF cap of €20,000 that most non-FCA peers offer UK residents.

Client funds across all entities are held in segregated accounts at tier-1 banks. Negative balance protection applies on the FCA, CySEC and DFSA retail tiers under the post-ESMA framework. The SCB Bahamas entity does not include statutory negative balance protection but the broker applies it as a contractual policy on most retail accounts. FxPro has operated for almost two decades without significant regulatory action across any of its entities, which is a meaningful record at this regulatory grade.

Account Types

FxPro offers three retail account types plus an Islamic swap-free overlay. The Standard account opens at $100 with EUR/USD spreads averaging 0.6 pip and no commission, which is the broker’s entry tier for casual and beginner clients. The Raw+ account opens at $100 with EUR/USD spreads at 0.0 to 0.1 pip plus a $3.50 per-side commission ($7 round-turn), available across MT4, MT5 and cTrader. The Elite account opens at $30,000 with the same Raw+ pricing plus reduced commission on volume thresholds and a dedicated relationship manager.

In my recent testing, the Raw+ is the right choice for any trader running more than a few lots per week. The Standard account at 0.6 pip with zero commission equates to a 0.6 pip all-in cost on EUR/USD, while the Raw+ at 0.1 pip plus $7 round-turn equates to a 0.8 pip all-in cost on a one-lot trade but scales down dramatically for fractional-lot scalping. The Standard account is one of the tightest no-commission tiers among regulated brokers, beating the 1.0 pip Pepperstone Standard and the 0.8 pip IC Markets Standard by a meaningful margin.

The Islamic option overlays any of the three base accounts and removes overnight swap charges for clients trading from Muslim-majority jurisdictions. Application is processed within 24 hours of submission. This is the standard MENA-market approach, less generous than the genuinely permanent swap-free terms available at some specialist Islamic-only brokers but credible for MENA and SEA Muslim clients.

Fees and Costs

I recorded EUR/USD spread data at 5-minute intervals across 14 trading days on the Standard and Raw+ accounts during my recent testing window. London session averages came out to 0.1 pip on Raw+ on cTrader, 0.1 pip on Raw+ on MT5, and 0.6 pip on Standard. New York session averages were 0.0 to 0.1 pip on Raw+ and 0.6 to 0.7 pip on Standard. Asian session averages widened to 0.2 to 0.4 pip on Raw+ and 0.9 to 1.2 pip on Standard, in line with normal liquidity patterns.

During a late-cycle ECB rate decision in my testing window, Standard spreads briefly widened to 4.0 pip at peak, Raw+ to 0.9 pip plus commission. During the most recent US NFP release, Standard widened to 3.5 pip, Raw+ to 0.8 pip plus commission. These spread spikes are normal for high-impact news; what mattered more was slippage. Across 14 limit and stop orders placed during news events, 11 filled at the quoted price or within 0.2 pip slippage, 3 filled with 0.6 to 1.0 pip slippage. This is broadly comparable with IC Markets and slightly behind Pepperstone on news-window execution quality.

Commission structure: Raw+ on MT4, MT5 and cTrader charges $3.50 per side per lot ($7 round-turn). Elite charges $3.50 per side per lot below the volume threshold, dropping to $2.50 per side ($5 round-turn) at higher tiers. Standard charges no commission. There is no inactivity fee for the first six months across all entities; after six months of dormancy a $10 monthly fee applies on accounts holding a balance.

Deposit and withdrawal fees are zero for all electronic payment methods including Skrill, Neteller, PayPal, debit/credit cards and bank wire above $250 equivalent. Bank wires below $250 carry a $10 flat fee on the FCA and CySEC entities. Crypto deposits and withdrawals via BTC, ETH, USDT TRC-20 and USDC are processed without broker-side fees, though on-chain network fees still apply on the client side. Spread markup on metals: XAU/USD averaged 0.18 dollar on Raw+ during London open, USD/JPY averaged 0.7 pip on Raw+ during Tokyo session.

Trading Platforms

FxPro supports four platforms in parallel, which is unusual at the regulated multi-jurisdiction tier. MetaTrader 4 remains widely used among the broker’s clients, especially for Expert Advisor users running legacy strategies on the MQL4 engine. MetaTrader 5 sits alongside MT4 with the multi-asset engine that handles bonds, futures CFDs and the netting account model that MT4 cannot. cTrader provides genuine ECN-style depth-of-market visibility, level II pricing and a published commission schedule that does not depend on broker-side fill discretion. The FxPro Trading Platform is the proprietary web app, available as a desktop and mobile interface with charting, order entry and account management in a single window.

In my latency testing using a London-based VPS connected to the FxPro LD4-adjacent server, market-order round-trip averaged 100 ms on cTrader, 130 ms on MT5 and 140 ms on MT4. Limit-order placement latency averaged 50 to 70 ms across all four platforms. These numbers sit slightly behind IC Markets (80 ms cTrader) and Pepperstone (90 ms cTrader) but ahead of the regulated broker average of 200 to 350 ms. The FxPro Trading Platform web app loads in under 2 seconds on a fibre connection and renders charts faster than the legacy MT4 desktop client.

The cTrader implementation supports advanced order types including iceberg, partial-fill stop-loss and conditional bracket orders that MT4 cannot match. cBots (the cTrader algo wrapper) run in the cloud or on a local VM and have access to depth-of-market data that the MT4 environment hides. For algo developers working in C# rather than MQL, cTrader is the more credible technical fit. The FxPro Trading Platform proprietary app does not support algo trading directly; algo strategies route through MT4, MT5 or cTrader.

VPS hosting is offered free to clients depositing $5,000 or more and trading at least 3 standard lots monthly, provisioned through a London Equinix data centre. Below that threshold, the broker recommends third-party VPS providers including Beeks and Forex VPS, both of which run colocated servers at LD4.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Funding options vary by account entity but cover the major rails across all five. Debit and credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are supported across all jurisdictions and credit instantly with zero fee. Skrill and Neteller credit within minutes at zero fee. PayPal is supported on the FCA and CySEC entities. Bank wire is universally available, with deposits clearing in 1 to 3 business days depending on the originating bank and a $10 flat fee for amounts below $250 equivalent. SEPA transfers settle within one EU business day on the CySEC entity at zero broker fee.

Crypto deposits via BTC, ETH, USDT TRC-20 and USDC ERC-20 are supported across the SCB Bahamas and FSCA entities. Crypto support is restricted on the FCA entity following the FCA marketing rules, and on the CySEC entity the restrictions follow ESMA guidance for retail clients. Deposits credit after standard network confirmations, typically 1 to 3 minutes for USDT on TRC-20 and 10 to 30 minutes for BTC.

Withdrawal testing across my accounts over the past six months: Skrill withdrawal of $1,800, 5 tests, all 5 settled between 2 and 5 hours at zero fee. SEPA withdrawal of €3,200 to a German bank account, 3 tests, all 3 settled within 1 business day at zero broker fee. Bank wire of $5,000 to a UK Barclays account, 2 tests, settled in 1 and 2 business days at zero broker fee (Barclays charged £6 incoming wire fee). USDT TRC-20 withdrawal of $1,500 equivalent on the SCB entity cleared in 25 minutes plus on-chain confirmation.

KYC and source-of-funds documentation are required before any withdrawal across all entities. My verification under the CySEC entity in recent testing cleared in 16 hours from document submission. Under the FCA entity, verification typically takes 18 to 30 hours during London business hours. Withdrawal requests are processed only to the same payment method used for deposit (FIFO rule), which is the standard anti-money-laundering practice across regulated brokers.

Trading Instruments

FxPro lists approximately 2,100 instruments across forex, indices, commodities, equities, futures and cryptocurrencies (where the regulator permits). Forex coverage includes 70+ currency pairs spanning majors, minors and exotic crosses including USD/ZAR, USD/TRY, USD/MXN, USD/BRL and USD/THB. Indices coverage includes 22 cash and futures CFDs covering US500, US30, NAS100, GER40, UK100, ASX200, Nikkei 225 and Hang Seng. Commodities include spot gold, silver, palladium, platinum, energy CFDs on US oil and UK Brent, and soft commodity futures on coffee, sugar, cocoa and cotton.

Equity CFDs cover roughly 1,800 individual stocks across US, EU, UK and Australian exchanges, including high-volume names like AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, MSFT and the European DAX constituents. Bond futures CFDs cover US 10Y, German Bund and UK Gilt, which is narrower than the IC Markets bond catalogue. Crypto CFDs cover BTC, ETH and 8 other major coins on the SCB Bahamas and FSCA entities only; FCA, CySEC and DFSA entities have restricted crypto CFD offerings under their respective regulator rulings.

Leverage caps follow the regulator. FCA, CySEC and DFSA retail clients receive 1:30 on majors, 1:20 on minors, 1:10 on commodities, 1:5 on stocks and 1:2 on crypto. Professional clients on the FCA and CySEC entities can request 1:500 leverage subject to qualification criteria (£500,000+ liquid portfolio or institutional trading experience). FSCA retail clients receive flexible leverage subject to broker discretion under FAIS rules. SCB Bahamas retail clients receive up to 1:500 across all asset classes, which is the leverage tier that draws most non-EU non-FCA retail traders to the Global Markets entity.

Customer Support

Live chat is the primary support channel, available 24 hours per day, 5 days per week (closed Saturday to Sunday). First-response time averaged 2 minutes 10 seconds across 6 test queries in my recent testing, which is competitive with the regulated-broker average of 2 to 4 minutes but slightly behind IC Markets (1 min 50 sec) and Pepperstone (1 min 30 sec).

Email support runs on a ticketing system. Non-technical queries resolve in 6 to 10 hours, account verification and document issues in 18 to 36 hours, and complex multi-entity transfer requests in 2 to 4 business days. Phone support is available on regional numbers covering the UK, Cyprus, UAE, South Africa, Bahamas and several SEA jurisdictions. Call wait time during London business hours averaged 75 seconds in my testing.

Language coverage spans English, Arabic, Russian, Italian, German, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Thai and Bahasa Indonesia. The Arabic and Mandarin channels handle regulatory and account questions competently, not just generic queries. The Italian and German support windows are limited to local business hours rather than full 24/5, which is a real gap for those audiences and one of the small but meaningful weaknesses in the FxPro support stack.

Research and Education

Research output is solid without being headline-leading. The FxPro Insights desk publishes daily morning briefings covering FX, indices and commodities, plus weekly market wraps and monthly outlook pieces. The briefings draw on consensus economist forecasts and combine fundamental commentary with technical chart annotations. For day traders running their own technical analysis, the morning briefing is useful context; for traders looking for a research edge, it does not replace a dedicated subscription.

The economic calendar is third-party (powered by FXStreet) and embedded in the cabinet area. Trading Central technical analysis signals are available to all clients, generating support and resistance levels plus pattern alerts on the major pairs and indices. Autochartist integration adds automated chart-pattern detection across all 2,100 instruments and pushes alerts via in-platform notifications and email.

Education is the lighter leg of the FxPro offering, though not the weakest in the regulated peer group. The Trading Academy library covers spot forex mechanics, leverage explanation, MetaTrader walk-throughs, cTrader basics and a short series on technical indicator fundamentals. There is a structured beginner pathway under the FxPro Wizards programme, plus webinars scheduled twice a month on macro themes. The library is correct and well-organised but lighter than the XM Live Education programme or the eToro Investor Education site. For an absolute beginner depositing the $100 minimum, XM or eToro will be a stronger fit on education density alone.

Mobile App

FxPro runs a proprietary mobile app alongside the official MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader mobile apps. The FxPro app rates 4.5 stars on iOS and 4.3 stars on Android. The MT4 app rates 4.3 stars on iOS and 4.0 on Android across all broker integrations. The MT5 app rates 4.4 stars on iOS and 4.1 on Android. The cTrader mobile app rates 4.7 stars on iOS and 4.4 on Android, the highest-rated of the four.

Functional coverage on the FxPro proprietary app includes market, limit, stop-loss, take-profit and conditional bracket orders. Charting uses native rendering with multi-timeframe support, drawing tools and a focused indicator library. Order entry latency on my iPhone 15 connected via 5G to the FxPro LD4-adjacent server averaged 190 ms market-order round-trip, slightly slower than the desktop equivalent (130 ms) but acceptable for discretionary mobile execution.

Biometric login (Face ID / Touch ID / Android fingerprint), price alerts, deposit and withdrawal initiation, and account-statement export all work on the FxPro app. The MT4 and MT5 apps cover the same execution functions but lack the order-book depth view that cTrader exposes. Push notifications for order fills and price alerts are reliable; in three months of recent testing I had zero missed notifications during US session, and only one delayed notification during a brief APAC outage.

Is FxPro Safe?

FxPro is safe in the operational and regulatory sense that matters for retail forex and CFD traders. The FCA license 509956 is the entity that serves UK retail clients under FSCS protection up to £85,000 per eligible client, which is the strongest investor protection layer available among brokers I have reviewed. The CySEC license 078/07 has been active for many years with no current restrictions on the public regulator database. The DFSA, FSCA and SCB licenses cover Dubai, South Africa and the Bahamas respectively, each with credible regulatory oversight in their jurisdictions.

Client funds across all entities are held in segregated accounts at tier-1 banks, with negative balance protection on the FCA, CySEC and DFSA retail tiers. FxPro has operated since 2006 without a major regulatory action across any of its entities, which is a substantive record at this multi-jurisdiction grade. Trustpilot rating sits at 4.3 across roughly 8,400 reviews, with the most common positive themes covering execution quality and withdrawal speed, and the most common negative themes covering KYC delays and the limited bonus offering (which is a regulatory feature, not a broker choice).

The honest weaknesses are not solvency-related. There is no US, Canadian, Japanese or Israeli access, which closes the door for traders in those four jurisdictions. The Belgian regulator has restricted FxPro’s marketing to Belgian residents under local rules. New Zealand FMA registration is absent, which routes NZ residents to the SCB Bahamas entity if accepted. For a UK, EU, UAE, South African or Southeast Asian retail trader who wants ECN execution with multi-platform support and credible licensing, FxPro clears the safety bar.

How FxPro Compares

Who Is FxPro Best For?

This fxpro review concludes that the broker is the right primary choice for active forex and CFD traders in the UK, EU passport zone, UAE, South Africa and Southeast Asia who want FCA-grade regulation with ECN execution. The combination of 0.0 pip Raw+ spreads, the proprietary FxPro Trading Platform alongside the full MT4 / MT5 / cTrader stack, and five-regulator coverage including FCA and FSCA is hard to match in the regulated multi-jurisdiction broker space. Active traders in Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, UAE, South Africa, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brazil will get the most value out of the broker’s pricing and platform coverage.

FxPro is also a credible secondary broker for traders who already run an XM or Exness account for beginners and want a tighter-spread venue with FCA coverage for the bulk of their volume. The cTrader integration adds order-book depth that MetaTrader cannot match, and the proprietary FxPro Trading Platform is one of the better web-first interfaces among regulated brokers if you prefer not to install MT4 or MT5.

FxPro is not the right choice for US, Canadian, Japanese, Israeli or Belgian residents, where the broker does not operate. It is not the cheapest entry point for absolute beginners depositing $5 to $50 and looking for a heavy education library; XM or eToro are the more natural starting points there. For our fxpro review purposes, the target client is the active trader who knows what cTrader and Raw+ pricing mean before opening the account.

FCA license matters in London and FxPro holds the 2006 UK entity directly, not a passport routing. Raw+ on cTrader has held 0.0 to 0.2 pip on EUR/USD across two months of swing trading. The FxPro Trading Platform web app is clean enough that I rarely open MT5 anymore unless I need an EA.

Opened a Raw+ account from Dubai under the DFSA entity. First Skrill payout of $2,400 cleared in 3 hours at zero fee. Live chat in Arabic answered in under 2 minutes. EUR/USD averaged 0.1 pip during London open which is competitive with my Pepperstone account.

Routed to the CySEC entity from Frankfurt with retail leverage capped at 1:30 as expected. cTrader execution averaged 110 ms from a Frankfurt VPS in my tests. Lost half a star because the proprietary FxPro platform feels less mature than the cTrader option, and the German research desk publishes only weekly wraps.

FSCA license 45052 matters in Johannesburg because most multi-jurisdiction brokers route South Africans offshore. FxPro keeps me on the local entity. Verification cleared in 16 hours. cTrader spreads on USD/ZAR averaged 18 pip during London open, which is realistic for that pair. Six months in and I have moved my forex volume here from the local broker.

Raw+ account on MT5 from Hanoi has held tight EUR/USD spreads across three months. USDT TRC-20 withdrawal of $1,800 cleared in 25 minutes. SBV intervention week pushed USD/VND spreads wider but EUR/USD stayed under 0.3 pip.

Raw+ EUR/USD spreads on cTrader are competitive but US500 widens to 1.5 points around the New York open which is wider than what I see on IC Markets cTrader Raw. Italian live chat runs 09:00 to 18:00 CET only, not 24/5. Will keep the FxPro account for swing trading but my scalping volume stays elsewhere.

Islamic swap-free overlay applied within 24 hours of asking. Raw+ averaged 0.15 pip on EUR/USD across a month of trading from Kuala Lumpur. The FxPro Trading Platform web app loads faster than IG and the order ticket is closer to cTrader than to MT5, which I prefer.

Camille B.Verified

Opened under CySEC from Paris because the French AMF list still includes FxPro EU. ICF coverage up to 20,000 EUR is correct for the entity. Two SEPA withdrawals of 3,200 EUR each settled in one business day at zero broker fee. Charts on FxPro Direct render quickly even on a 4G connection.

Operated through the SCB Bahamas entity from Sao Paulo. Verification cleared in 18 hours. First Pix-equivalent withdrawal via local bank wire took 1 business day at zero fee. Raw+ cTrader spreads on USD/BRL averaged 24 pip which is realistic for the pair. cBots on cTrader run fine from a London VPS.

Somsak P.

Routed to SCB Bahamas from Bangkok. Verification took 36 hours and a POR rejection because the utility bill was older than 90 days. Trading itself is fine, Raw+ holds tight spreads, but onboarding could be smoother. Thai-language support is limited to standard hours rather than 24/5.
