Risk warning: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
FxPro scores 77/100 in our testing. This review is based on a live UK account, opened at the broker's FCA-authorised entity, funded in GBP and traded. The EUR/USD, GBP/USD and EUR/GBP spread figures shown are modal values recorded on that account across three trading days in July 2026.
FxPro is the platform-breadth pick of the UK set: FxPro UK Limited, FCA-authorised under FRN 509956, runs MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView plus its own app, at mid-table pricing on the Standard account and raw pricing plus commission on the Raw+ and cTrader accounts. Raw+ tested at 0.64 pips on EUR/USD.
Traders who want platform choice get the most from FxPro. Cost-led scalpers chasing the tightest spread get better value from a raw-account specialist such as Pepperstone or Tickmill, and anyone who wants a fixed spread has to go elsewhere entirely.
FxPro quick facts
FxPro UK Limited holds the FCA authorisation behind the UK offer, and the table below collects the figures a UK trader checks first.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| UK regulator | FCA, Firm Reference Number 509956 |
| UK entity | FxPro UK Limited |
| Parent | FxPro Group; no single listed parent identified for the UK entity. Group also holds CySEC and SCB (Bahamas) licences |
| Year founded | 2006 |

| Maximum retail leverage | 30:1 major FX and government bonds from the UK, eurozone, US, Japan, Canada or Switzerland, 20:1 non-majors, gold and major indices, 10:1 other commodities, 5:1 shares and anything unlisted |
| Spreads (EUR/USD) | Tested 0.64 pips on Raw+ and 1.44 pips on Standard (modal, David Levy, live UK account, July 2026) |

Trading costs and fees
FxPro’s pricing is mid-table with breadth rather than lowest-spread, and every account prices with floating spreads: FxPro no longer advertises a fixed-spread account. The spreads below are tested modal values, the most frequent spread David Levy recorded on a live UK account across three trading days in July 2026 rather than a broker “from” figure. The evidence tier this review carries, and the protocol behind it, is set out in our methodology.
| Account | Tested spread (modal, July 2026) | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (MT4/MT5) | EUR/USD 1.44 pips; GBP/USD 1.92 pips | None |
| Raw+ (MT4/MT5) | EUR/USD 0.64 pips; GBP/USD 0.54 pips | about £2.61 per lot, per side |
| cTrader | Raw pricing as Raw+; not separately tested | US$35 per US$1 million traded, per side |
| Edge (spread betting) | Marked-up floating spreads | None |
Standard account costs
Standard folds the whole cost into the spread and charges no commission. EUR/USD tested at 1.44 pips and GBP/USD at 1.92, which puts one standard lot of EUR/USD near £11.30, all of it spread. That is wide for this set, and it is the main reason FxPro is not a cost pick.
Raw+ account costs
Raw+ is the cost-led tier. EUR/USD tested at 0.64 pips and GBP/USD at 0.54, with commission of about £2.61 per lot, per side. One standard lot of EUR/USD costs roughly £10.24 all in. That is dearer than the tightest raw specialists, because the raw spread itself is wider here than at Pepperstone or Eightcap rather than because the commission is unusual.
cTrader account costs
The cTrader account uses the same raw pricing as Raw+ and charges US$35 per US$1 million traded on each side, which works out at the same US$3.50 per standard lot. We did not separately record its spread. It matters because TradingView connects to FxPro cTrader account types only, so choosing TradingView means choosing this cost model.
Standard vs Raw+: which costs less
Raw+ costs less, but the margin is slim. On one EUR/USD lot the tested figures give Raw+ about £10.24 against roughly £11.30 on Standard, so Raw+ saves about £1 rather than the two thirds a raw account saves at Vantage. FxPro’s raw spread is the reason: at 0.64 pips it is six times Pepperstone’s, so the commission buys you less. Add the commission to the raw spread before comparing, and be aware that at these figures the choice matters less here than at most brokers.
Spread betting costs
FxPro Edge is the group’s spread-betting platform for UK clients, with stakes from £0.10 and marked-up floating spreads rather than a separate commission. Spread betting profits are generally free of capital gains tax and stamp duty for UK residents, though tax treatment depends on your circumstances and can change.
Other fees UK traders should check
FxPro charges no fee of its own on deposits or withdrawals on any funding method, though the banks and payment providers involved can apply theirs (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026). The Raw+ and cTrader commission is quoted in US dollars at US$3.50 per lot, per side, so the sterling figure moves with the exchange rate on a GBP account. It is also per side, making a round turn about £5.22. Card withdrawals are capped at the amount funded from that card in the previous six months to a year, depending on the processor.
Trading platforms
Platform availability covers the full set, and it is the reason to choose FxPro. One dependency to note: TradingView connects to FxPro cTrader account types only, so cTrader and TradingView sit behind the same account (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026).
MetaTrader 4
MT4 carries the Standard and Raw+ accounts and remains the default for expert advisors. Our comparison of MT4 brokers covers the UK options.
MetaTrader 5
MT5 adds timeframes, order types and depth of market over MT4, on the same two account tiers. See our comparison of MT5 brokers for the field.
cTrader
cTrader carries its own account with raw pricing and a dollar-denominated commission, and it is the gateway to TradingView here. FxPro is one of a short list of FCA brokers offering it; the UK cTrader brokers covers the rest.
TradingView
TradingView connects to FxPro cTrader accounts only, which is the dependency most reviews miss: you cannot pair TradingView with a Standard account. See the TradingView-connected brokers for the UK field.
FxPro platform
FxPro’s own platform sits alongside the third-party terminals, with FxPro Edge handling spread betting from £0.10 stakes. Neither replaces MetaTrader for automation.
Trust and safety
FxPro UK Limited holds its own FCA authorisation rather than serving UK clients from the group’s CySEC arm.
FCA regulation and global licences
FxPro UK Limited is authorised and regulated by the FCA under FRN 509956 (FCA register, checked 15 July 2026), the directly UK-portable entity over the group’s CySEC arm. The group also holds a CySEC licence for EU clients and an SCB licence in The Bahamas (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026); only the FCA entity serves UK retail clients. On execution model, FxPro runs a no dealing desk setup with STP technology and internal order matching rather than operating as a pure ECN, so orders fill against FxPro’s own liquidity management rather than a raw external order book. FxPro publishes a clear retail-versus-professional leverage table already within FCA caps.
Client money, FSCS and negative balance protection
FxPro’s UK company has no single listed parent whose accounts you can read, so the statutory protections carry the weight. Client money is held in segregated accounts under the FCA’s CASS rules, separate from the firm’s own funds. Negative balance protection applies to retail accounts, so a position cannot leave you owing more than your balance. If the firm failed, FSCS cover runs up to £85,000 per eligible person, covering shortfalls in client money and assets rather than trading losses. Unresolved complaints reach the Financial Ombudsman Service, and what FCA authorisation gives you covers its limits.
History and ownership
FxPro dates to 2006 and operates within the wider FxPro Group. No single listed parent has been identified for the UK entity, so there are no public accounts to read, which is a transparency gap next to a listed rival like CMC Markets. The group’s multi-jurisdiction licensing is broad, but only the FCA permission is relevant to a UK account.
Public reviews
Trustpilot shows no score for FxPro. Its profile carries the notice “This company’s rating is unavailable due to a breach of our guidelines”, against 804 reviews (Trustpilot profile, checked 15 July 2026). Trustpilot does not publish which guideline was breached and we have not established it, so we report the status rather than the cause. It means the usual public-review signal is not available here, and no rating should be inferred from its absence in either direction. Trustpilot profiles cover the whole brand across every market, not the FCA-authorised UK entity alone.
Account types and minimum deposit
FxPro runs more account types than most of this set, and the platform you want partly decides which you get.
Account options for UK clients
Account options are Standard (MT4/MT5), Raw+ (MT4/MT5), the cTrader account and the Edge spread-betting account, and all of them price with floating spreads (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026). Traders who want a fixed spread get that from Trade Nation instead; the our fixed-spread broker list ranks the options. CFD profits fall within capital gains tax while spread-bet profits generally do not, though tax treatment depends on your circumstances and can change.
Minimum deposit
Card funding starts at 100 units of the account currency, so £100 on a GBP account, while bank transfers carry no stated minimum.
Funding and withdrawals
FxPro charges no fee of its own in either direction, and deposits clear quickly.
Deposit methods (UK clients)
Deposits are typically processed within about 10 minutes, and withdrawals are processed 24 hours a day, five days a week (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026).
| Method | Minimum deposit | Processing time | FxPro fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer | None stated | UK GBP transfers usually same business day; international wires three to five business days | None |
| Debit or credit card | 100 units of account currency (£100 on a GBP account) | Deposits within about 10 minutes; withdrawals within one working day | None |
Withdrawals
Withdrawals return to the original funding source first, a standard anti-fraud control, and card withdrawals are capped at the amount funded from that card in the previous six months to a year, depending on the card processor (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026). The banks and payment providers involved can apply their own charges even though FxPro does not.
Account opening
Opening is online, with identity and address verification under the FCA’s client-onboarding rules. Pick the account before you fund: the platform you want constrains the choice, because TradingView requires a cTrader account.
Product range
FxPro covers forex, indices, commodities and share CFDs, with forex and indices the lead markets for UK retail. The CFD trading hub covers each asset class in depth.
| Asset class | Available to UK retail | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | Yes | The core offer across every account type |
| Indices | Yes | Major global benchmarks |
| Commodities | Yes | Metals and energies |
| Share CFDs | Yes | Single-name CFDs at 5:1 retail leverage |
| Crypto | No | Banned for UK retail clients by the FCA |
Any crypto product FxPro markets elsewhere is unavailable to UK retail. The FCA banned the sale of crypto derivatives to UK retail consumers from 6 January 2021. The markets table above states the retail unavailability in the crypto row, and no crypto tier appears in the leverage list because the FCA caps do not include one.
Leverage for UK traders
Retail leverage at FxPro follows the FCA’s standardised caps rather than anything the broker sets. Every FCA firm applies the caps below, and our guide to margin and leverage explains how they interact.
| Asset class | Retail leverage cap |
|---|---|
| Major currency pairs | 30:1 |
| Non-major pairs, gold, major indices | 20:1 |
| Other commodities, non-major indices | 10:1 |
| Government bonds from the UK, eurozone, US, Japan, Canada or Switzerland | 30:1 |
| Individual shares, and any asset not listed above | 5:1 |
Customer service
FxPro advertises support 24 hours a day, five days a week by live chat, phone and email (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026).
| Channel | Availability |
|---|---|
| Live chat | 24 hours, five days a week |
| Phone | 24 hours, five days a week |
| 24 hours, five days a week; response times not tested by us |
We have not timed UK response speeds on a live account, so this section reports the published scope rather than a measured result. Support runs through a multilingual desk that covers FxPro’s international client base.
Research and education
FxPro’s research and education sit mid-pack: market analysis and news on the FxPro site, an economic calendar, and platform tutorials across its third-party platforms (broker site, accessed 10 July 2026). The multi-platform spread is the real learning asset, since a trader can trial MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView side by side on one broker before committing, which few FCA firms allow.
How FxPro compares to alternatives
FxPro wins on platform breadth. Where a rival beats it, this is who and why.
| If you value… | Consider |
|---|---|
| The tightest raw pricing | Pepperstone |
| A broker that still runs fixed spreads | Trade Nation |
| Lower commission on a raw account | Tickmill |
| The ranked lowest-spread field | The tightest spreads ranked |
Pepperstone matches the platform set and undercuts FxPro on raw pricing, which makes it the direct rival here. Since FxPro dropped its fixed account, Trade Nation is the only broker left running genuinely fixed spreads. On fee alone, Tickmill prices its raw account lower. Our full UK ranking covers every broker we rate.
Should you open an account with FxPro?
Yes, for platform shoppers. FxPro runs MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView and its own platform, with the Edge spread-betting account beside them, all on one FCA-authorised account base under FRN 509956, and no FxPro fee on funding either way. Nobody else in our UK set offers this much platform choice. Raw+ tested at 0.64 pips plus about £2.61 per lot, per side.
Not for fixed-spread traders, and not for cost leaders either. FxPro dropped its fixed account and every account now floats; Trade Nation owns that slot, and the tightest-spread specialists undercut Raw+.
A free demo answers most questions first, and our practice account guide covers how to use it. If the platform range fits how you trade, open an FxPro demo account to try it before funding a live one (affiliate link, see our advertiser disclosure).
