In the fast-paced world of forex trading, choosing the right broker is crucial. FOREX.com and FxPro are two popular options, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. This comparison will dive into the key features of both platforms,helping you decide which one best suits your trading style and goals.
The radar chart above illustrates the comparison between FOREX.com and FxPro across several key metrics, with the highest possible score being 100 in each category.
At FxScouts, our mission is to assist traders in finding the broker that best suits their needs. Comparing brokers side-by-side is an effective method to achieve this goal. We evaluated FOREX.com and FxPro, using our standard criteria: trust and regulation, trading platforms, costs and trading conditions, and educational and market analysis resources.
Trust and regulation are crucial when selecting a Forex broker. A broker’s credibility is largely built on its regulatory status. We spend considerable time verifying the safety of each broker by examining their regulatory licenses. The more top-tier authorities regulating a broker, the higher its trust rating.
In our comparison:
Based on these findings, FOREX.com earned a higher trust rating than FxPro.
When comparing brokers, trading costs are a significant factor. We consider the minimum deposit required to open an account and ongoing costs, including spreads and commissions. We measure the cost to trade one lot of EUR/USD using the broker’s account with the lowest minimum deposit, including both the spread and any commission charged.
We found that FOREX.com has overall lower trading costs than FxPro.
Trading Platforms Offered Traders prefer brokers that offer a variety of trading platforms. We rate brokers higher if they support multiple platforms like MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader, and proprietary platforms.
Copy trading is beneficial for beginner traders or those unable to trade full-time. In this case both FOREX.com and FxPro offer copy trading.
A broader range of CFD instruments provides more trading opportunities. FOREX.com offers a greater variety of instruments compared to FxPro:
For those interested in trading cryptocurrencies, FxPro offers 30 cryptocurrencies, while FOREX.com offers 11 cryptocurrencies. Therefore, FxPro is the better choice for cryptocurrency trading.

We favor brokers that process withdrawals within 24 hours using multiple methods without charging fees.We found that FOREX.com charges a withdrawal fee and FxPro does not. Overall, FxPro has better deposit and withdrawal processes than FOREX.com.
We often find that brokers offer very little in the way of educational materials, forcing traders to use other third-party sites or self-educate elsewhere. Beginner traders need well-structured, well-presented materials in multiple formats to get a good start at trading. More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas.

Founded in 2001, Forex.com is a well-regulated broker with excellent education and low fees that is more suited to serious beginners and more experienced traders. Beginners with low minimum deposits may be put off by the relatively high trading costs on Forex.com's entry-level Standard and MetaTrader accounts. But experienced traders will be interested in the RAW Spread Account, with a minimum deposit of 100 USD. This account has some of the most competitive spreads (0.0 pips on the EUR/USD) combined with some of the lowest commissions in the industry.
FOREX.com provides support for MT4, MT5, TradingView and its own trading platform and traders will appreciate the range of trading tools on offer, including AI Performance Analytics, Trading Central, and subsidised VPS hosting.
Education and market analysis are both excellent and experienced traders will appreciate the wide range of tradable assets, including over 80 currency pairs, 2500 share CFDs, commodities, indices, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies. Overall, FOREX.com ticks all the boxes for those with looking for a wide range of assets and a choice of trading platforms.
Founded in 2006, FxPro is a global CFD broker known for its fast execution, multiple platform choices, and wide range of trading instruments. While the FxPro Group holds licences from respected regulators such as the FCA (UK) and CySEC (Cyprus), traders in Malaysia are currently onboarded through FxPro Markets Ltd in Saint Lucia. This offshore setup allows for far more flexible trading conditions — including unlimited leverage on many instruments — but offers none of the investor protections associated with top-tier regulation.
Malaysian traders can choose from four account types — MT4/MT5 Standard, MT4/MT5 Raw+, MT4/MT5 Elite, and cTrader — all with competitive pricing and a minimum deposit of just 100 USD. FxPro supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and cTrader across desktop, web, and mobile, with tight spreads starting from 0.0 pips on raw accounts. A comprehensive range of CFDs is available, from major forex pairs and metals to shares, indices, energies, and cryptocurrencies.
While FxPro’s trading costs and platform choice are attractive, the extreme leverage offered by the Saint Lucia entity — including unlimited on forex majors, gold, bitcoin, and certain indices — can dramatically magnify both gains and losses. Traders should apply strict risk management and consider whether such high leverage suits their trading experience and objectives.
