FxPro Markets: CFDs, Instruments and Contract Specifications

What a CFD Is and What It Does Not Give You

A CFD (contract for difference) is an agreement to pay the difference between the opening and closing price of a position. According to FxPro's definition, a CFD is a contract based on a change in value, not ownership of the underlying asset: you do not receive shares, metal, or currency physically. The official material on CFDs separately emphasizes that leverage increases both profits and losses.

This leads to practical conclusions. A position is closed at the market price, not by delivery of the asset. Many instruments are subject to a swap for holding overnight. If the market moves against you, the loss can exceed your initial deposit-so margin and stop-out are just as important as the direction of the trade.

Demo mode uses virtual funds, but execution conditions and market behavior on demo may differ from live trading. Demo helps you learn the terminal, but it does not confirm future results.

Which Instrument Classes FxPro Publishes

FxPro publishes trading platforms and instrument classes on its official website; the specific set depends on the chosen account and platform. According to the FxPro homepage and the comparison of accounts and platforms, the available families are MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, FxPro WebTrader, FxPro App, and TradingView.

These typically include currency pairs (FX), metals, indices, energies, individual shares, and cryptocurrency CFDs. For the exact list for your account, check the trading terminal or the specifications on the official website: it may differ between Standard, Raw+, Elite, and cTrader.

Where to Find the List

• In the terminal-in the Market Watch window or symbol list.
• On the website-in the contract specifications section for the relevant asset class.
• Before trading, check not only the symbol name but also the margin currency and the profit/loss currency.

How to Read a Contract Specification

A specification is a table of parameters for a specific symbol. It answers the questions: how much is one point worth, what margin is required, when is swap charged, is there a commission, and what hours does the instrument trade? Below are the fields worth checking first.

Parameters are not universal: even within one asset class, margin and swap can differ. Always open the specification for the exact symbol you plan to trade, and check its currency on the official source.

Commissions and Swaps: What to Consider Before Trading

The cost of a trade consists of the spread and, for some accounts, a commission. According to the account comparison, the global table indicates for Raw+ a spread on major FX pairs from zero plus a commission of USD 3.50 per lot per side; for cTrader, the commission on FX and metals is stated as USD 35 per USD 1 million turnover, with opening and closing counted separately. These are starting reference points, not guaranteed execution costs: the actual spread depends on the market and liquidity.

Swap is a separate item. Promotional materials may mention zero swaps on certain instruments or periods, but this does not cancel the swap table for other symbols. Before holding a position overnight, check the swap for your specific instrument and account type: long and short positions often have different values.

How to Calculate Commission

1. Confirm your account model (Standard, Raw+, Elite, cTrader).
2. Take the commission per side from the official table.
3. Multiply by the volume in lots and the number of sides (opening and closing).
4. Add the spread and any applicable swap if the position is held overnight.

Beginners often consider only the spread. Commission and swap can significantly change the outcome, especially with frequent trading or holding positions overnight.

Practical Checks Before Opening a Position

A specification is not a formality but a working checklist. Before trading, it is useful to go through it step by step so you do not discover unexpected margin or swap after entering.

1. Open the specification for the required symbol on the official website or in the terminal.
2. Check the contract size and minimum volume against your risk plan.
3. Verify the margin requirement: it may change depending on the instrument and volatility.
4. Look at the swap for long and short positions if you plan to hold overnight.
5. Check the commission for your account model and factor it into the trade cost.
6. Check trading hours and upcoming events that could cause a gap.

Specification data is updated, so rely on the current official page, not on screenshots or old reviews. If a parameter is unclear, clarify it through official FxPro support, without sharing passwords, codes, or payment details with anyone.

How Platform and Account Affect Available Markets

The set of instruments depends not only on the asset class but also on the platform and account model. According to the comparison, MT4 uses hedging, MT5 supports netting or hedging, and TradingView connects to the cTrader account family. This affects how positions are opened and closed, but it does not remove the need to check the specification.

Account names-Standard, Raw+, Elite, and cTrader-reflect different cost models and minimum requirements. It is worth comparing them with the material on account types and on fees before choosing. If you have not yet decided on a platform, start with the overview of FxPro platforms.

Separately check leverage and margin: margin requirements in the specification are linked to leverage, and restrictions may depend on the instrument and account status.

Availability, Region, and Information Limits

FxPro is an international brand, and terms depend on your country of residence and the legal entity with which the contract is made. The Russian-language version of the site does not mean automatic access from Russia; similarly, the French and Spanish versions do not guarantee access in France and Spain. Before registering, it is worth studying the material on regulation and legal entities and on registration.

The site may show a corporate group page instead of a trading page-this depends on the visitor's region. Such a redirect does not prove that the product has stopped globally, but it also does not confirm that the service is available to you.

This guide does not accept funds, documents, or account credentials, does not provide investment advice, and does not guarantee returns. All market and specification data should be verified on official FxPro pages. It is also useful to review CFD risks and the demo account if you are just starting out.
