FxPro vs IC Markets vs Pepperstone — regulation, account currencies, spreads and platforms. All figures are indicative; verify current terms on each broker's site.
When your account currency matches your local currency, you skip the bank's markup (typically 1–3%) on every deposit and withdrawal. With 15+ account currencies, FxPro likely supports yours.
FCA (UK), CySEC (EU), FSCA (South Africa), SCB (Bahamas) — four independent jurisdictions mean client funds are protected under multiple legal frameworks. Client funds are segregated.
Trading in your account currency means the numbers in the calculators on this site are exactly what appear in your account. No mental conversion from USD P&L to local reality.
FxPro's Standard account spreads (1.2–1.5 pips on EUR/USD) are wider than IC Markets or Pepperstone Razor. For very high-frequency trading or ultra-tight spreads, those brokers may suit better. The minimum deposit ($100) is also a consideration for traders starting small.
These are the terms the calculators on this site run on. The spread column is an average, not a quote: it widens around news and at the thin hours, which is what the session chart on the instrument pages is for.
