FxPro account types and demo conditions explained
The five account options
MT4 Standard, on MetaTrader 4, has spreads beginning at 1.2 pips and no separate commission. MT4 Raw+ uses the same platform, but its spread starts at 0.0 pips. It charges $3.50 for each lot on every side, which comes to $7.00 for a round turn.
MT5 runs on MetaTrader 5 with spreads from 1.4 pips and no commission; forex, indices, metals and shares CFDs are all available. cTrader's spread also begins at 0.0 pips, and its commission matches MT4 Raw+ at $3.50 per lot on each side. FxPro Edge is FxPro's web platform: spreads start at 0.0 pips, while costs vary.
What the pricing model means
The choice comes down to paying through a wider spread and no separate commission, or seeing a near-zero spread alongside a fee for each lot. MT4 Standard and MT5 follow the first approach. MT4 Raw+ and cTrader follow the second, charging $3.50 per lot per side, or $7.00 round turn. FxPro Edge starts its spread at 0.0 pips and applies variable costs.
Minimum deposit and demo access
Opening any live account type requires at least $100. Demo access is free and unlimited on each platform, so the same set-up can be tried before money is deposited. The demo uses virtual funds and FxPro describes it as unlimited. Leverage can be up to 1:200, though the entity chosen determines the base currency, the leverage available and which instruments can be traded; confirm those details in FxPro Direct.
What the demo provides
Virtual funds power the demo, but its price feed matches that of a funded account. Demo access is listed for MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, FxPro Edge and TradingView. Traders can work on order entry, stop-losses, leverage, margin and Expert Advisors without depositing money.
In one Raw+ demo sample, EUR/USD showed a 0.2-pip median spread; all-in cost was roughly $9.00 for a lot. Market-order fills took about 78 to 99 milliseconds.
From practice to a funded account
Funding a live account happens in its base currency, typically USD, and a shilling conversion occurs at deposit. The exchange rate on that deposit matters when a demo result is set beside a live one. Setting up a live account follows the same process as creating the demo. You can add another account type later through FxPro Direct.
Frequently asked questions
What does the $7.00 round turn cover?
It is the total commission on MT4 Raw+ and cTrader: $3.50 for every lot on each side, which adds up to $7.00.
Does the FxPro demo use separate pricing from a live account?
The balance is virtual, but prices follow the live market; a Raw+ demo uses the same pricing feed as a funded account.
Can I practise on TradingView with virtual funds at FxPro?
Yes; demo access is available on TradingView as well as MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and FxPro Edge.
What varies by the FxPro entity I register with?
