FxPro's homepage.
Overview
FxPro has been operating since 2006 across a multi-office structure spanning London and Limassol, Cyprus, regulated through FxPro UK Limited (FCA reference 509956) and FxPro Financial Services Limited (CySEC licence 078/07), with an additional Bahamas SCB entity for clients outside those regions. The FCA has separately published a warning about a “clone firm” impersonating FxPro, a reminder to verify you’re dealing with the genuine FCA-registered entity and not a similarly named contact.
*One figure we want to flag directly: sources conflict meaningfully on FxPro’s minimum deposit, with some citing $100 and others $500, $1,000 depending on account type and region. We couldn’t resolve this discrepancy from published sources. Confirm the current minimum for your specific account and country directly on FxPro’s site before assuming either figure.
Trading Costs
The MT4 account uses fixed spreads, typically in the 1.2-1.4 pip range on EUR/USD. MT5 and cTrader use variable, more raw-style pricing that can run tighter under good liquidity conditions: the Raw Plus tier has averaged around 0.24 pips on EUR/USD in recent testing. As with the deposit figures above, exact spread numbers vary by account, so treat any figure as indicative rather than guaranteed.
FxPro is one of the few brokers we cover offering MT4, MT5, and cTrader together, alongside native TradingView integration for charting. This is a genuine strength if you want to compare or switch between platforms rather than being locked into one ecosystem.
Our Verdict
FxPro’s regulatory strength and rare three-platform lineup make it a solid pick for traders who specifically want cTrader alongside MetaTrader. The unresolved minimum-deposit discrepancy is the one thing we’d push you to confirm directly with FxPro before opening an account, rather than assuming either figure we found in our research.
Strengths
- Genuine dual Tier-1 regulation (FCA + CySEC) with negative balance protection for retail clients
- Rare platform combination: MT4, MT5, and cTrader together
- Native TradingView integration for charting
- Responsive, multilingual support widely cited across independent reviews
Watch Out For
- Minimum deposit figures are inconsistent across sources, so confirm directly before assuming a number
- Inactivity fee structure also reported inconsistently: some form applies after roughly 6 months, so confirm current terms
- No cent/micro account for very small starter balances
- FCA has warned about clone firms impersonating FxPro, so double-check you're dealing with the genuine entity
