FAQ

Common questions

Which platforms can I use to trade gold with FxPro?

FxPro publishes support for MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge. Which platform suits you depends on whether you want expert advisors, depth-of-market tools, or a simpler interface. Check that gold is available on the account type you open, and confirm the pip and lot conventions on the platform before sizing a trade.

Which FxPro entity would hold my South African account?

FxPro Markets Direct Costa Rica Latam SRL is the entity that serves South Africa. Note the regulator caveat exactly: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC, and an FxPro entity holds an FSCA licence in South Africa — check which entity your own account is opened with. The entity on your agreement determines your protections.

What does FxPro charge for a gold trade?

We cannot state a spread, commission or swap figure because those are published by FxPro and vary by account type and market conditions. What the cost consists of is the spread on XAU/USD, any commission your account type carries, and a financing charge if you hold overnight. Confirm all three on your own account before trading.

How do I deposit rand into an FxPro account?

FxPro supports local cards and bank transfers in ZAR, plus e-wallets. Which of these is fastest or cheapest for you depends on your bank and the method, so check the funding page in your account area. Never send funds to an entity other than the one named on your own account agreement.

Can I open a professional account for higher gold leverage?

Maximum leverage in South Africa is up to 1:200 for retail, and up to 1:500 for eligible or professional clients depending on the instrument. Eligibility depends on criteria FxPro applies, and professional status reduces certain protections. Treat the higher cap as a limit, not a target, and size by risk instead.
