Review of FxPro (4.3)

We have now come to review FxPro in our series of reviews of the most popular brokers and trading platforms. 

As the name suggests, they specialize in forex trading, but also provide the opportunity to trade other markets, such as stock indices, stocks, and commodities.

In the review, we rate them according to the usual criteria:

  • Security
  • Product selection
  • Trading platforms
  • Trading costs
  • Charting package
  • Customer service
  • Demo account
  • Bonuses

About FxPro

FxPro have their headquarters in London and are licensed by the FCA. They were founded in 2006 in Cyprus, but have later expanded to most places in Europe. They offer trading with CFDs and have two trading platforms – MT4 and cTrader.

At FxPro, it is not possible to lose more than one’s deposit. That is, if you were going to be in the very unfortunate situation that you for some reason did not assign a stop-loss to your trade and a terrorist attack or similar unforeseen event happens while you are long the Dax, and the account should go in minus, they will then correct the loss to end in 0. It’s definitely a plus.

Security at FxPro

The customer’s money is separated from FxPro’s funds. That is, if FxPro should go bankrupt, it does not affect the customers’ money, as they are reportedly located elsewhere at different banks. In addition, up to 500,000 kroner of your money is secured as a result of the English depositor’s guarantee.

Therefore, the security is good with FxPro. It is definitely a good thing that they are regulated in the UK.

Products at FxPro

Their product range is satisfactory and they offer most popular markets:

  • Shares (few large shares)
  • Commodities
  • Forex
  • Stock indices

Unfortunately, they do not offer bonds and ETFs. However, most daytraders should be satisfied with their product range.

Trading platforms at FxPro

FxPro does not have their own platform but have purchased access to the award-winning cTrader platform, which can be downloaded and accessed through the browser. The other platform they offer is the classic MT4 platform.

In this review, we look at the cTrader platform.

It is one of the best platforms I have ever tried. The design is really nice and intuitive, there are all the drawing tools you want and there is a possibility to customize the platform to your own needs.

However, the language of the platform is in English and it is not possible to choose Danish as a language. In order for us to give the top grade 5 to the trading platform, there must also be an opportunity to choose Danish as a language.

Trading costs at FxPro

FxPro operate with semi-fixed spreads. That is, they change over the course of the day. They change from the lowest from 7 to 19 to the second best from 19 to 07, followed by higher spreads in the period from 20.15 to 22.15. In addition, they have even higher spreads when there are important news and similar special events.

Looking at their cheapest spreads in the period from 19 to 07, they look like this:

  • DAX: 4 points
  • Dow Jones: 1.2 points
  • EURUSD: 1.6 points
  • EURGBP: 1.7 points
  • AUDUSD: 1.7 points
  • USDJPY: 1.6 points
  • GBPUSD: 1.8 points
  • Crude Oil: 4 points
  • Gold: 3 points

Their lowest spreads are slightly higher than those of their competitors we have reported on this page. For forex, they are reasonably competitive, but on stock indices, they are a little too high. Overall, they are quite in the middle of the market compared to their competitors.

The charting package as a work tool

As mentioned earlier in the article, the cTrader graphics package is really fun to work with. It is possible to trade directly from the chart and move around one’s orders through the chart, which is definitely a positive thing. You can either choose to view the price as a line graph, candlestick graph, bar graph, HLC graph, Heikin Ashi graph and a dot graph. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the price shown as a Renko graph, which draws down a bit.

It is also possible to set on many time intervals, which is also a positive thing. In addition, there are all the indicators you need, including volume. There is also ample opportunity to customize drawing tools, which is also positive.

Customer Service at FxPro

Customer service is top at FxPro. They have both phone support and live chat available 24 hours a day on weekdays, but only in English. It is clearly a plus that they are present around the clock Monday to Friday.

Demo account at FxPro

It’s super easy to open a demo account and does not require any hard work. However, I would not recommend entering your phone number, as you may experience being called by them for various offers very frequently. The demo account is of course free and without time limit.

FxPro does not offer bonuses

There are no Greek gifts available at FxPro. We see that as a positive thing and are a good sign that they are a serious broker who does not need to advertise casino-like bonuses. This is typically something you offer unless you have competitive prices or a good product.

Overall rating of FxPro 

  • Security – 5 points
  • Product range – 3.5 points
  • Trading platform – 4 points
  • Trading costs – 3 points
  • Charting package – 5 points
  • Customer service – 4 points.
  • Demo account – 5 points.
  • Bonus – 5 points.

Overall Rating: 4.3 out of 5.0

 

We can definitely recommend FxPro. It reflects the high grade as well. It is a serious broker who has security in order, a satisfactory product range, a nice trading platform with a super good charting package and a good and stable customer support. The only negatives are the high spreads and the lack of Danish support.

  1. FXpro is the first broker I used to trade. When I was a newbie I learned a lot about forex with their studying materials and demo accounts. Due to this, I switched to a real account without any problems and I have been trading for more than a year here. Now I get quite a good extra earnings due to forex. I can recommend this broker without hesitation.

  2. One of the biggest advantages of FxPro is its user friendly platform and tight spreads. Also they offer a lot of opportunities for algorithmic trading. They allow all kinds of EA’s and all trading strategies. Their economic calendar is great.

  3. I am super happy with my FxPro experience. I didn’t think I could make such a good profit. This broker is very good and honest.

  4. I can distinguish the following advantages due to which I chose this broker:
    high liquidity offered by their top liquidity providers;
    high level of account security provided by FCA and CySec.
    all major platforms are represented;
    high level of customer support on my native language
    restriction-free trading strategies and styles;
    fast deposit/withdrawals and wide range of payment methods.
