FxPro account types in South Africa: Standard, Raw+, cTrader and Elite

Standard and Raw+ on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5

Standard accounts on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 show $0 commission and a spread from 1.2 pips. Raw+ accounts on the same platforms show a spread from 0.0 pips and a commission of $3.50 per lot per side. On 1 standard lot the round trip is $7.00 ($3.50 × 2).

A 'from' spread is a floor rather than an average. Market conditions set the live number, instrument by instrument.

cTrader and Elite account terms

cTrader uses raw pricing too: a spread from 0.0 pips and a commission of $3.50 per lot per side. Elite is listed on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 with a spread from 0.0 pips, Raw+ pricing and volume rebates.

Demo account and live price checks

FxPro lists a free demo account. Live spreads are not fixed on a webpage; the current number sits on the platform's quote board. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 place live bid and ask in the Market Watch panel, where a right-click can display the spread in its own column. cTrader shows depth-of-market pricing for each symbol.

FxPro Edge opens in a browser tab and needs no installation. MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader can be downloaded.

Deposits, withdrawals and inactivity

FxPro states that deposits and withdrawals carry no fees in either direction. An account with no activity after 6 months carries an inactivity fee; FxPro Direct shows the amount. A bank or e-wallet used for funding may still add its own charge; that cost belongs to the provider, not the broker.

• Deposits: $0
• Withdrawals: $0
• Inactivity after 6 months: amount shown in FxPro Direct

Swap rates and overnight costs

A position kept open beyond the trading day's close attracts an overnight funding adjustment, called the swap. The rate depends on the instrument and on whether the position is long or short; no single flat table covers all of them. FxPro Direct and the platform show the present rate for each instrument.

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 list long and short swap figures in the instrument specification. cTrader lists each symbol's trading conditions, swaps included, in the symbol info panel. FxPro Direct and the Edge webtrader show the same per-instrument details without installation. According to FxPro, a swap-free account version also exists.
