FxPro Trading Account Types and Commission Structure
FxPro provides a variety of account types tailored to traders in Philippines. Each account features unique fee structures to suit diverse trading needs. The MT4 Instant Execution account uses only spreads, starting at 1.8 pips for EUR/USD during active hours. Traders preferring no commission fees often select this account due to its simplicity. For those aiming at tighter spreads, the MT4 Market Execution account combines spreads from 0.6 pips with a $3.50 commission per side per standard lot.
The MT5 account mirrors Market Execution pricing but includes advanced trading analytics and tools. Our cTrader account offers ECN-style execution with zero pip spreads and a commission of $2.25 per side per 100,000 base units. This account is designed for traders requiring fast execution and minimal latency. All account types require a minimum deposit of $100 USD.

Forex Trading Spreads and Currency Pair Costs
Major Currency Pair Pricing
Major currency pairs maintain competitive spreads on all FxPro platforms. EUR/USD spreads vary from 0.6 pips on Market Execution to 1.8 pips on Instant Execution during peak periods. GBP/USD starts at 0.8 pips, while USD/JPY ranges between 0.7 and 1.5 pips, influenced by the Asian session liquidity. AUD/USD and USD/CAD spreads begin at 0.9 and 1.2 pips respectively. These spreads reflect real-time market conditions and liquidity available on Philippine trading hours.
Minor and Exotic Currency Spreads
Cross currency pairs experience wider spreads due to less frequent trading volume. EUR/GBP starts at 1.4 pips, while GBP/JPY begins at 2.1 pips. Exotic pairs such as USD/TRY and USD/ZAR carry significantly higher spreads, starting at 15 and 25 pips respectively. These reflect the increased volatility and lower liquidity of emerging market currencies. Traders in Philippines should consider these spread differences when selecting currency pairs for trading.
CFD Trading Commissions and Index Spreads
FxPro offers CFD trading on indices, commodities, and stocks with specific fee structures. Index CFDs use spread-only pricing without added commissions. For example, US30 (Dow Jones) spreads start at 2.0 points during regular trading hours. UK100 (FTSE 100) and GER30 (DAX) spreads begin at 1.0 and 1.2 points respectively. Spread widening can occur at market openings or during low liquidity.
Commodities like oil CFDs have spreads from 3.0 cents per barrel, gold CFDs from $0.35 per ounce, and silver from $0.025 per ounce. Individual stock CFDs include commissions: US stocks incur $0.02 per share with a $1 minimum, and UK stocks charge 0.1% commission with £9 minimum. This structure ensures transparent costs aligned with Philippine market standards.
Overnight Financing and Swap Rates
Currency Pair Swap Calculations
Positions held past 6:00 AM Philippine Time (22:00 GMT) incur overnight financing. Swap rates depend on interest rate differentials between currencies. For example, long EUR/USD positions may carry negative swaps reflecting current monetary policies. The swap is calculated by (Contract Size × Swap Rate × Lots) divided by 10. Triple swap fees apply on Wednesdays to cover weekend rollover.
CFD Overnight Charges
Index CFDs have overnight charges based on benchmark interest rates plus spreads. Long positions typically face annual charges between 2.5% and 4.5%. Commodity CFDs apply financing costs related to storage and interest rates. Precious metals carry overnight fees reflecting storage and market conditions. Real-time swap updates display directly within the FxPro platforms, enabling Philippine traders to monitor costs accurately.
