FxPro account types and demo account conditions in Kenya

Platforms behind the account range

MT4 Standard and MT4 Raw+ operate on MetaTrader 4, while MT5 uses MetaTrader 5 and cTrader uses cTrader. FxPro Edge runs on FxPro's own web platform. MT5 also includes shares CFDs alongside forex, indices and metals. Leverage reaches up to 1:200, and every live account type opens with a $100 minimum deposit.

Spreads, commissions and the shilling deposit

Costs follow a split: a wider spread without a separate commission, or a near-zero spread combined with another charge. For a trader in Kenya funding in shillings, the exchange-rate step happens at deposit, while the account's own pricing does not change with the shilling.

• MT4 Standard — spreads from 1.2 pips and no separate commission.
• MT4 Raw+ and cTrader — raw spreads from 0.0 pips plus a $3.50 commission per lot per side ($7.00 round turn).
• MT5 — spreads from 1.4 pips and no commission.
• FxPro Edge — spreads from 0.0 pips with a variable cost structure.
• A live account opens with the $100 minimum deposit; the demo is free and unlimited.

The free demo across FxPro platforms

A free unlimited demo account is available on every platform, using virtual money rather than a deposit. It runs against the same live prices as a real account, with no cost and no time limit, across MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge. Expert Advisors can be tried on MT4 and MT5 demos in the same way they would run live, and a demo left untouched for a long period may eventually be archived, so current terms are worth checking.

Sample costs measured on a Raw+ demo

On an FxPro Raw+ demo, which uses the same pricing feed as a funded account, EUR/USD showed a 0.2-pip median spread. The sample put all-in cost at about $9.00 per lot. Market orders filled in roughly 78 to 99 milliseconds.

From demo practice to a live account

The steps used to open a live account are the same as those used to set up the demo. Funding happens in the account's base currency, typically USD, so converting from shillings forms part of the deposit stage. A demo balance is virtual and cannot be withdrawn; withdrawal applies only to a funded live account.

Account currency, leverage and available instruments depend on the entity with which a trader is registered. Terms should be confirmed in FxPro Direct.
