MT4 Account – The MT4 account gives traders a choice between instant and market execution but choosing instant execution may lead to requotes at times of high volatility. Fixed spreads are available on this account making it easier for beginners to calculate profit/loss of a trade and establish better risk management.

MT5 Account – The MetaTrader 5 account is for those who want to use the latest generation of the popular trading platform. This account offers market execution, variable spreads, no requotes and will allow for partial fills for orders that lack liquidity. The spreads on this account are in line with the MT4 account.

cTrader Account – The cTrader account charges commission on trades and has significantly tighter variable spreads than the MT4 and MT5 accounts. This combination of tighter spreads and commission fees is common for professional accounts, as it makes calculating profit and loss easier.

As with the MT5 account, the cTrader account includes market execution of trades; no requotes, variable spreads and partial fills of orders in times of limited liquidity. This account does not limit the stop/limit levels.

Spreads and Commissions

The MT4 and MT5 accounts charge for their services in the spreads that can get as low as 0.6 pips, but average EURUSD spreads are around 1.2 pips. Spreads on the cTrader account are much lower with EURUSD averaging about 0.3 pips, but an additional commission of 45 USD per 1 million USD traded (single side).

MT5

For beginners, MT4 and MT5 can be tricky to set up, but there are numerous guides in both text and video format to guide you through this process. cTrader is more beginner-friendly and needs fewer tweaks to optimise it for Forex trading, but there is less guidance freely available on the internet.

All versions of these applications have downloadable versions for PC and macOS as well as web and mobile interfaces.

FxPro Mobile Trading Apps

FxPro supports mobile versions of all MT4, MT5 and cTrader, and customer service is available 24/5 to answer questions about the software and help with setting it up.

Evaluation Method

We value transparency and openness in the way we review the partners. To bring transparency to the forefront, we have published our review process that includes a detailed breakdown of the FxPro offering. Central to that process is the evaluation of the reliability of the broker, the platform offering of the broker and the trading conditions offered to clients, which are summarised in this review. Each one of these is graded, and an overall score is calculated and assigned to the broker.

Risk Disclosure

Trading Forex is risky, and each broker is required to detail how risky the trading of Forex CFDs is to clients. FxPro would like you to know that: Trading CFDs carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Please ensure that you understand the risks involved as you may lose all your invested capital. 71.58% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. Past performance of CFDs is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Most CFDs have no set maturity date, and a CFD position matures on the date an open position is closed.

Overview

FxPro is at the forefront of leading traditional Forex brokers, and heavily promotes the accolades they have received over the years. Strong international regulation and a small selection of common trading platforms show that with simplicity, greatness can be achieved.

Trading conditions across the accounts are reasonable, and as an NDD Intervention broker, there is no potential for conflict of interest.

An open approach to education is a part of FXPro’s marketing strategy and account holders should not expect additional material from what is available before opening an account. That said, customer support is accessible and award-winning, a real benefit for beginners with many questions.

Overall, FxPro is a dependable choice for beginners looking for a strong, traditional broker. Expect consistent trading conditions and excellent support from FxPro, but they leave the extra frills and innovation to other industry players.
