Spreads & Execution
| Pair/Asset | MT4/MT5 Avg Spread | cTrader Raw Avg Spread | Commission (cTrader) |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 1.2 pips | 0.3 pips | $9.00/lot RT |
| GBP/USD | 1.7 pips | 0.5 pips | $9.00/lot RT |
| Indices (S&P 500) | 0.9 points | 0.9 points | $0 |
| XAU/USD (Gold) | 25 pips | 15 pips | $9.00/lot RT |
Standard MT4/MT5 accounts are commission-free with markup. cTrader account offers raw spreads but charges a high commission.
Execution Quality (Tested)
- Execution Model: NDD (No Dealing Desk) on all platforms.
- Fill Reliability: High. Average execution speed is acceptable (~40-60ms).
- Requotes: Extremely rare. FxPro focuses on guaranteed execution at quoted prices.
- Speed: Acceptable for day trading, though not ultra-fast ECN speed.
The No Dealing Desk model is transparent and reliable. Execution quality is high, minimizing conflict of interest, but the spread cost is higher than aggressive ECN rivals.
Unrivaled Platform Variety (MT4, MT5, cTrader)
FxPro offers a unique level of choice, supporting the three leading retail platforms simultaneously:
- MT4/MT5: For the vast EA and indicator library.
- cTrader: For the professional ECN interface and speed.
- FxPro Edge: For proprietary analysis and spread betting (UK).
- Benefit: A trader can test which ECN environment (cTrader vs. MT5) suits their EA best without switching brokers.
This platform breadth is a major advantage for serious traders who need flexibility and access to all industry tools under one regulated umbrella.

Who Should Use FxPro?
- Great fit: Traders who need the flexibility of choosing between MT4, MT5, and cTrader platforms and prioritize the highest level of trust (FCA/CySEC) combined with zero funding fees.
- Good fit: Traders with large capital who need NDD execution reliability.
- Not ideal: Algorithmic traders or scalpers focused strictly on minimizing commission cost, as the $9 RT fee is uncompetitive compared to $4-5 rivals.
Final Verdict
FxPro is a highly respected, veteran broker (since 2006) that excels in transparency and platform choice. Its core promise—NDD execution across all platforms—is highly valuable, minimizing the conflict of interest inherent in hybrid models.
The broker’s commitment to client cost savings on funding is exceptional, offering zero fees on all deposits and withdrawals. This is a major client-friendly feature.
However, the cost of trading is FxPro's main drawback. While the commission-free account is simple, the $1.2 pip spread is wide. Crucially, the raw spread cTrader account charges a high $9.00 RT commission, significantly more than industry leaders, penalizing high-volume ECN traders.
