Have a question for the FxPro Team, On the demo account i notice that to open
1 lot of (Nasdaq 100) futures E-mini is $1,800 margin? also in S&P 500 for 1 lot?
Is the mt4 demo wrong because in your website say the margin is %2
1 lot should be way lower no? maybe i'm wrong...

Dear Salitre6565,

That was a configuration error, which has been corrected.

The margin calculation is correct.

One lot of Nasdaq on MT4 is 20 contracts of Nasdaq.

These are the margin calculations for one lot of Nasdaq:


Lot size*20(contracts per lot)*margin=margin required in $

1*20*4539*0.02=$1816

Shall you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Dear Members,

Further to our previous communications regarding the Greek debt crisis and upcoming referendum on Sunday July 5, we would like to advise you of the following:

Following a prudential approach, we have decided to increase margin requirements to 2% for trading the following instruments:

– Euro crosses

– G20 currency crosses

– Precious metals


In other words, the available leverage for trading the above instruments will be limited to 1:50. These new margin requirements will only apply to new positions that are placed between Friday, July 3, 2015, 12:00 to Monday, July 6, 2015, 02:00 (server time) unless otherwise advised.

We will update you when normal trading conditions are due to resume.

*Update: Increased margin requirements do not apply to the following pairs: CHFPLN, CHFSGD, NOKSEK, NZDCHF, NZDSGD

As always, shall you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,

Dear Traders,

Earlier this year, we took the initiative to publish quarterly statistics relating to our standards of service. The decision was made in an effort to increase transparency in the FX market and encourage more industry participants to be as forthcoming about their operations.

Today, FxPro is pleased to announce its slippage and execution percentages for the months of July, August and September, 2015.

FxPro’s Q3 slippage statistics are as follows:

Kind regards,
FxPro Team

  • Positive = 43.4%
  • At Quote = 39.6%
  • Negative = 17.0%

Re-quote percentages for the same period:

  • Re-quotes = 4.5%
  • Positive = 2.8%
  • Negative = 1.7%

FxPro CEO, Charalambos Psimolophitis, commented:

“Our execution statistics are very encouraging. Even though there was increased market volatility during the third quarter of 2015, we have managed to register these promising figures that reveal slippage symmetry and testify to our advanced execution and order-matching technologies. It remains our aim to continue providing our clients with flawless service and order execution, even in the most volatile of market conditions.”

Trading CFDs involves a high risk of loss.

Kind regards,
FxPro Team

Dear Traders,

We are delighted to announce that FxPro has been awarded “Best FX Broker” at the prestigious Shares Awards, making this the third time in as many years for achieving the accolade!

In the last year, we have successfully improved trade execution and reduced latency for our clients, while having also launched the initiative for greater transparency by publishing our execution statistics on a quarterly basis.

Michael Boydell, Managing Director of AJ Bell Media Ltd, commented:
“Congratulations to FxPro for deservedly winning Best FX Broker and making it a hat trick. Their continual recognition at the Shares Awards shows how year-on-year they are consistently meeting the demands of investors and traders with their innovation and transparency.”
Thank you all for your support, and congratulations to our team!
 
Hello,

Are we utilising the ECN by using the MT4 platform offered on your website ?

I am currently using a reputable SB company who I am happy with, but I am beginning to question the spreads.

I trade using the basics of charting software so dont need bells and whistles but tighter spreads and a reliable platform with instant execution both ends would interest me.

Regards

Dear Mr.Grey,

Thank you for your question. While all of the platforms benefit from the No Dealing Desk execution, please not that the MT4 is Instant Execution, while the MT5 and cTrader are market execution platforms. This is due to the technical limitations of the MT4.

I hope this answers your question. Shall you have any more questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,

FxPro Team

This has been a very successful year for FxPro. Over the past year we have launched our FxPro MT5 trading platform, received new regulatory authorisation in South Africa, and expanded our product range with the addition of new trading instruments.

We would like to congratulate our team and give thanks to you for your support, and to the readers who voted for us!

Kind Regards,

Cant' understand why you decided to disable cMirror, you are not interested in your clients's success... There is no social trading alternative for cTrader, so traders will have to stop using this platform. FxPro has disappointed many traders:(

FxPro Announces Execution Statistics for Q1 2016

Online broker FxPro is pleased to disclose key trade execution statistics for the first quarter of 2016. For the months of January, February and March, slippage percentages were as follows:

• Positive = 46.93%
• At Quote = 31.81%
• Negative = 21.26%

The figures above show the percentage of trades that were executed without slippage, as well as that of trades executed with negative slippage or at a better price than requested. It is notable that these figures not only reveal the significant percentage of trades that benefitted from positive slippage, but also demonstrate a decrease of more than 3.5% in trades that incurred negative slippage and an increase of more than 9.4% in trades executed at a better price when compared to the numbers registered during the fourth quarter of 2015.

The first three months of 2016 also saw a decrease in re-quote percentages:

• Re-quotes = 5.01%
• Positive = 2.23%
• Negative = 2.78%

FxPro CEO, Charalambos Psimolophitis, commented:

“It has been a year since we took the initiative to systematically publish our execution statistics. The purpose of this move remains twofold: to provide traders with valuable information about our standards of service, and to encourage greater transparency in the FX industry. It is pleasing to see positive developments gradually taking place, as is to observe the continuous improvement of the quality of trade execution we offer.”
