Comprehensive review

Perhaps best-known as a sponsor of football clubs such as Watford and Fulham, FxPro is a retail forex and CFD brokerage that has been operating in the industry since 2006. The company is headquartered in London and claims to have more than 100,000 clients worldwide. The broker serves clients globally, except for residents of the USA, Canada, and Iran.

The FxPro brokerage operates across the world under the companies FxPro Global Markets Limited and FxPro Financial Services Limited, which in turn controls four separate entities that are fully regulated in the UK, Cyprus, South Africa, and The Bahamas.

As most other forex brokers, FxPro employs a no-dealing desk (NDD) model for their order execution. Thanks to the company’s own in-house spot aggregator, it was awarded the best global forex broker for FX execution by Capital Finance International, which tells us that order execution at this broker is something even industry players keep an eye on.

In terms of available trading instruments, FxPro offers its traders the usual selection of forex pairs and CFDs based on commodity futures, equity indices, equities, precious metals, and energies such as oil and natural gas. In addition, the broker has also added the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ripple (XRP) to its offering, although this is only available for clients who can legally trade under the broker’s UK or Bahamas-regulated entities.

FxPro further offers its users the choice between four trading platforms, namely the MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), the popular CFD-focused cTrader platform, and its own proprietary FxPro Platform, also known as FxPro Direct. As usual, FxPro has also made these trading platforms available via mobile apps for Apple and Android mobile smartphones.

Although FxPro does not offer the “social trading” experience that some other brokers have introduced in recent years, “expert advisors” (EAs) and automated trading is still available through the MetaTrader platforms. As many experienced traders know, these platforms also include back-testing of trading strategies for those who prefer to use systematic, programmable trading strategies.

In terms of funding methods, FxPro allows its clients to use bank wire transfers, popular payment cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express (AmEx) and UnionPay, as well as the e-wallet services Skrill and Neteller. In addition to those, PayPal funding is also available for clients signed up with the Cyprus-registered branch.

One thing we like about FxPro in this respect is that deposits and withdrawals are processed freely for all funding methods as long as the client has made at least one trade. The minimum initial deposit is also pretty much in line with the industry standard of USD 100 or the equivalent in another currency. However, the broker still recommends depositing at least USD 1,000 to get the most out of the trading experience.

When it comes to trading leverage, FxPro has available leverage all the way up to 1:500 for international clients, while EU-based clients as usual are limited to a 1:30 leverage in order to stay compliant with the more restrictive ESMA regulations that were introduced in 2018.

As the base currency of the trading accounts, FxPro offers traders accounts denominated in USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, JPY, PLN, AUD, and ZAR, although the specific currencies available will depend on the trader’s jurisdiction.

Customer service hours at FX Pro follows market hours, meaning it is available 24 hours a day on all trading days. The support team is available via email, live chat, a range of local phone numbers, and a request for callback option. The quality of FxPro’s customer service is also generally seen as quite good, with no major complaints found in online discussion forums.

Lastly, another thing that stands out with FxPro is the large library of educational materials and free trading tools they have made available on their website. Spread comparison tables and economic calendars are among those things that always come in handy for traders. In addition, the broker offers a wide range of calculators that are free to use, including a pip calculator, stop-loss calculator, and a commission calculator for their cTrader platform. These are all unique features of this broker that we believe builds trust and transparency on the part of FxPro.
