FxPro Spread Betting Review

Our Verdict On FxPro

FxPro scores 57/100 and ranks 11 of 14 because its nine-pair average is 1.99 points against a 1.7-point industry row. It prices above that average on six of the nine, so what you trade decides the saving.

How We Scored FxPro

Our overall score for FxPro is 57 out of 100. Below is the assessment behind it: FxPro marked on each of the criteria we score every account against, each one out of 10.

These marks do not add up to the score above, and they are not meant to.The criteria are weighted rather than totalled. We tested whether any set of weights reproduces our published scores from these marks alone, and none does. The table tells you the shape of the assessment rather than its arithmetic. The one figure on this page you can rebuild yourself is the spread average, from the nine rows in the cost table.

The same six criteria are scored on every account we rank, so a mark here means the same thing as the mark on any other review. Our account scoring method sets out what each criterion covers, where the data behind it comes from, and which parts of an account we assess rather than test.

For FxPro specifically, the strongest mark is Range Of Markets and the weakest is Trading Cost. That gap is the useful part of the table. Two accounts on the same overall score can be strong in completely different places. The one that suits you is the one scoring well on what you care about.

Where That Score Comes From

Range of markets is the criterion FxPro scores highest on, and the section immediately below is the qualification that mark needs. The range being scored is the whole business — a broad one, honestly earned. The range you can put a spread bet on is a subset of it, and a reader who takes the first for the second will open the wrong account.

Trading cost is where it scores lowest, and the cost table further down is the evidence for that mark rather than an argument with it.

What You Can Actually Spread Bet On

FxPro’s own spread betting page names the asset classes its spread betting platform covers:

4 (forex, spot indices, spot metals, spot energy)

Shares are not on that list. This matters more than it might sound, because the figure you will meet first on FxPro’s own site is a total for its CFD range across every asset class it offers, and that total includes equities. It is a real figure, published by FxPro about itself, and we have read it and checked it. We do not publish it on this page, because it is not an answer to the question this page exists to answer.

FxPro publishes no total at all for its spread betting range. Where a provider states a figure we can attribute to the spread betting account, our reviews carry it; where the only figure available describes a different product, the honest render is the asset classes above and the breakdown in the summary table, not a larger number borrowed from the wrong place.

Our sourcing methodology covers how we decide what a figure is in scope for. Our guide to spread betting markets covers what the asset classes above mean in practice, and our share spread betting guide covers the accounts that do carry equities.

Who You Are Actually Contracting With

Spread bets at FxPro are placed with FxPro UK Limited (FRN 509956). This is the one row on our register table that sends you to the wrong regulator rather than the wrong company:

two regulators hold a record, and only one of them is the FCA. The UK firm is FxPro UK Limited under FRN 509956. FxPro Financial Services Ltd is a separate company on the CySEC register in Cyprus under licence 078/07. That Cypriot entry lists the fxpro.co.uk domain among its approved domains. Checking the UK web address against the Cypriot register therefore returns a firm that cannot take UK retail clients. Match the regulator as well as the name.

Neither company is doing anything improper, and both register entries are real. The practical point is that a reader doing exactly the right thing — taking the web address off the account they are about to open and searching for it on a regulator's register — can land on a Cypriot entry, read a Cypriot licence, and conclude they have verified a UK account they have not verified at all. The Cypriot entry also carries a former company name, so a search on that name returns the same firm under different branding.

Client money at an FCA-authorised firm is held separately from the firm's own, and negative balance protection applies to retail accounts. The FSCS and the Financial Ombudsman Service are open to you. That is a floor every provider in our ranking clears. Our guide to FCA regulation of spread betting publishes the authorised entity and reference number for every provider we track, and lists the brands whose register entry does not return what you expect. Our spread betting broker reviews directory covers every brand we cover.

FxPro Spread Betting Costs

FxPro prices below the industry average on two of the nine pairs, level with it on one and above it on six. Its nine-pair average of 1.99 points sits over the 1.7-point industry row.

What That Table Does Not Say

It does not say FxPro is overcharging you. It says that on the pairs we harvest, on the date we harvested them, this account sits where the table puts it relative to the field. A reader who trades rarely will feel that difference far less than one who trades often, and the table is where you work out which of those you are.

FxPro’s own pricing pages publish minimum and typical spreads on selected markets and several of those look competitive read alone. A minimum is the best price on the best market at the best moment; our figure is an average across the same pairs at every provider. Our harvest methodology sets out how the harvest is run and why we never publish a floor as though it were an average.

Account type matters here too. FxPro offers more than one pricing model on its wider business, and a commission-bearing account with tighter raw spreads is not comparable to a spreads-only account without reading both halves of the cost. We have published no assessment of which account type a UK spread bettor is put on by default, because we have not confirmed one.

Guaranteed Stops At FxPro

FxPro does not offer guaranteed stop-loss orders. An ordinary stop closes your trade at the next available price rather than at the price you set. A market that gaps overnight can therefore close you out below your stop, and the loss is yours.

Our guide to spread betting stop-loss orders covers how the order type behaves in a gapping market.

What That Means When A Market Gaps

A stop that is not guaranteed is an instruction to close at the next available price once your level trades, not a promise of that level. Most of the time the two are close enough not to matter. The occasion they are not is the occasion the protection was for: a weekend gap, a central bank surprise, a company announcement landing while the market is shut.

FxPro says so itself rather than leaving it implied, which is worth something. It is still a real difference from the accounts in our ranking that will guarantee a level for a premium, and if capped downside is the reason you are choosing an account it is the difference that should decide it. Our spread betting stop-loss orders guide covers how the order type behaves when a market gaps, and the alternatives at the end of this page include accounts that offer the guaranteed version.

What You Trade On

FxPro is unusual in our ranking for the breadth of third-party software it supports alongside its own platform, and the list on the summary table below is the set we have confirmed. For a reader who already works in a particular platform and does not want to relearn one, that choice is the strongest practical argument this account makes.

FxPro recorded a median fill of 153ms in our timed testing, across 15 live orders placed between 18 and 27 August 2026. Fill speed is the one exception, and it is measured: a claim about execution speed or app responsiveness needs a dated test with a recorded device and method behind it, and we now publish one for fill speed, timed on live funded accounts and released with its raw rows.

Our app test counts rather than times. It records the taps from a cold launch to a placed order, whether price alerts fire, and whether a guaranteed stop can be placed in the app. We drove both store builds on 22 and 23 August 2026, using an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 18.6 and a Google Pixel 8 running Android 15. It measures no speed, so no app here carries a responsiveness verdict.

On FxPro it took five taps to get from a cold launch to a placed order. Price alerts fired on both builds, and a guaranteed stop has to be placed away from the app. We logged one issue across the two builds: iOS: one cold-start hang of about 4 seconds before the watchlist loaded.

Our comparison page lists the fourteen spread betting platforms ranked by score on the attributes we can evidence.

What Our FxPro Service Tests Found

FxPro responded to our support email on 26 August 2026 in 96 minutes and approved our live funded account on 13 August 2026 in 9 hours. We requested a withdrawal from FxPro on 27 August 2026 with a £0 fee. The money had not arrived when we last read the dataset on 30 August 2026.

FxPro resolved the question on that contact. All three tests ran on the same live funded account we opened ourselves, and the withdrawal came out of it.

FxPro Versus CMC Markets And ActivTrades

The two accounts either side of FxPro in our ranking, on figures every review on this site renders from the same data. FxPro takes the first column. Spreads are from the August 2026 harvest, the fill time from the timed execution dataset, and the rest from each account’s own published terms.

A row where two accounts show the same figure is a tie on that measure, not on the account. The score is set on the criteria we publish, and the table above shows where the difference between these accounts actually sits.

FxPro Testing Log

Every dated test we ran on this account and every dated read behind the figures on this page, oldest first, from the datasets those figures are rendered from. The log is the evidence trail rather than a summary of it.

What Other Review Sites Say About FxPro

These are FxPro’s ratings on the platforms below, each read on the date shown and stated in that platform’s own scale. They are other people’s ratings, gathered on those sites’ own terms, and we publish them so you can weigh them against ours.

Our own score is set on the six criteria we publish and is not influenced by any third-party rating. A high rating on a review platform and a low mark here can both be true of the same account, because they measure different things.

FxPro At A Glance

Every row below is a value we read on FxPro’s own UK site or hold in our broker data with a source and a date beside it. An attribute FxPro does not publish has no row here, because the alternative is a number we would be guessing.

What You Can Bet On

Every figure in this list is our own count rather than a total FxPro publishes, because FxPro publishes no total for these. The note under the list says how and when we made them.

• Indices: 19 †

† Our own count, made on 25 Aug 2026 from the instrument list FxPro publishes on its own site. FxPro states no total for these markets, so the figure moves whenever it adds an instrument and we have not counted again. We re-count these on the monthly refresh; the date above is the last count, not today.

Why The Indices Row Is Our Count And Not Theirs

FxPro publishes a complete list of the index markets it offers and no total for them. Counting a published list is not the same claim as repeating a total a provider states about itself: ours is only as current as the day we counted, and it moves the moment FxPro adds a market. The note under the list says when we counted, and we re-count on the monthly refresh rather than leaving the figure to age quietly.

That is also why the breakdown above is shorter than the one on most other reviews. A row appears where FxPro publishes a figure we can attribute to the spread betting account, or publishes a list we can count. A figure it publishes about a different product does not qualify, which is the same rule the section higher up this page applies to its headline range — and it is why the forex row you might expect here is not here. Where neither test is met there is no row, and no number we inferred from a competitor.

FxPro Pros And Cons

Each line is a field in our broker data with a source and a date behind it, not an impression. Where FxPro does not publish an attribute, that absence is listed as a cost rather than left blank.
