How Our Trading Philosophy Works for You
We keep things accessible but never dumb it down. Different traders have different needs, so we support MT4, MT5, cTrader, and our own FxPro Edge platform. Whether you prefer automated trading with EAs, advanced order types, or a simple web-based solution, we’ve got you covered.
What users tell us is that having options means you can pick what fits your style without being forced into something that doesn’t make sense. Our spreads start at 0.0 pips on Raw accounts, and we don’t interfere with your trades on most accounts, so your market access is as direct as possible.
Getting to Know Our Platforms and Tech Setup
Now, let’s talk tech. Our trading platforms are built to suit different approaches. MT4 is great for automated strategies, MT5 offers advanced tools and more timeframes, cTrader is perfect if you like scalping or need Level II pricing, and FxPro Edge lets you trade straight from your browser without downloads.
| Platform | Best For | Key Features | Mobile App |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT4 | Automated trading, EAs | Custom indicators, 1-click trading | Yes |
| MT5 | Advanced analysis, hedging | More timeframes, economic calendar | Yes |
| cTrader | Scalping, institutional trading | Level II pricing, advanced orders | Yes |
| FxPro Edge | Web-based trading | No download required, cross-device sync | Browser-based |
We’ve also set up servers in London, New York, and Amsterdam with co-location near liquidity hubs to keep your order execution lightning fast. Our smart routing technology picks the best liquidity provider at any moment, so your EUR/USD trade might get routed to whichever bank offers the tightest spread right then.
Which Account Type Makes Sense for You?
Choosing an account can be confusing, but here’s the lowdown. Our Standard account is great if you want simple, all-in pricing with spreads from 1.2 pips on EUR/USD and no commission. Perfect if you’re starting out or prefer predictable costs.
On the other hand, the Raw account suits active traders who want tighter spreads (starting at 0.0 pips) and don’t mind paying a small commission ($3.50 per lot round turn). This setup gives you direct market access and usually lowers your trading costs if you trade frequently.
- Standard Account: Fixed spreads, no commission, minimum $100 deposit
- Raw Account: Variable spreads, commission-based, minimum $100 deposit
- Islamic Accounts: Swap-free trading with slightly wider spreads
Opening Your FxPro Account – Step by Step
Honestly, getting started is straightforward. Head to our website and click “Open Account.” The form is clear and only takes a few minutes to fill out. Just be sure your personal info matches your official documents exactly to avoid delays.
What You’ll Need to Provide
Expect to share your full legal name, birthdate, current address, phone number, email, nationality, and country of residence. It’s all standard, but it helps us keep your account secure and comply with regulations.
Document Verification
We’ll ask for a government-issued photo ID and a proof of address dated within the last 3 months. Clear, well-lit scans or photos speed up the process, which usually takes 1-2 business days. If your documents are good, you might even get verified faster.
Trading Experience Questionnaire
We’ll also ask about your trading background and financial situation. This isn’t to judge you but to make sure our services fit your needs. If you’re new, no worries—we offer demo accounts and educational resources to help you learn.
Funding Your Trading Account Made Simple
Once you’re verified, it’s time to fund your account. We support local and international methods, so you can pick what suits you best.
