FxPro South Africa - Account Types: Standard, Raw+, Elite
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Standard - clearest starting point
Standard is spread-led with no separate commission line. FxPro states no fixed Wallet minimum for Standard; cards and e-wallets still often enforce ~$100 or rand equivalent. Good default if you trade less frequently. See ZAR deposits and open account.
Raw+ - execution-cost choice
Raw+ typically needs ~$1,000 and charges about $3.50 per side per standard lot (~$7 round-turn) plus the displayed spread. Useful for active FX; not automatically cheaper for occasional trades. Verify live quotes on a demo.
Elite - capital threshold first
Elite is commonly associated with ~$30,000 and volume-related benefits. Treat it as a capital decision under your contracting entity (often FSCA FSP 45052 for SA routes), not a marketing upgrade. Confirm qualification rules in Direct.
Platform choice belongs with the account
MT4 for legacy EAs, MT5 for breadth, cTrader for DOM/manual FX, Edge for browser. Changing later may mean an additional account - decide before you fund. Mobile: see FxPro mobile app.
Pick by cost structure, not the label
For South Africa readers the useful split is: Standard (cost inside the spread), Raw+ (tighter quote + about $3.50 per side per lot on FX - confirm live), Elite (volume desk, typically ~$30,000 capital). Published Wallet and method floors change by entity - treat figures below as July 2026 orientation, not a contract.
| Account | How you pay | Funding sense-check | Who it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Spread-led, $0 commission on FX majors in typical retail specs | No fixed Wallet minimum on many published FAQs; common methods often from ~$100 | New accounts, low ticket frequency, demo-first habit |
| Raw+ | Near 0.0 pip start + ~$3.50/side (~$7 round-turn per lot) | Often planned around ~$1,000 so commission is not half the bankroll | Frequent orders where all-in beats Standard |
| Elite | Commission can step down with volume | ~$30,000 class decision | High volume only - skip if you are still learning size |
Worked all-in check (1 lot major FX)
On Standard, cost is mostly the spread you actually fill. On Raw+, add roughly $7 round-turn before you call it cheaper. If you take three round-turns a day, Raw+ can win; if you take one small trade a week, Standard usually wastes less. Measure on a demo with the same symbol and session you will trade live - night and news widen both models.
Platform choice locks in with the account
MT4, MT5, cTrader and Edge are separate trading accounts inside Direct. Switching later usually means opening another account, not renaming the first. Pair this page with spreads and your platforms hub before you fund.
South Africa honesty
Confirm FSCA facts and the entity card in Direct before you treat marketing leverage or ZAR rails as guaranteed. Deposit path: minimum deposit / local funding. Open path: open account.
FxPro account types for South Africa - Standard, Raw+, cTrader, Elite
Searchers for fxpro account types and fxpro raw spread account need a cost model, not a brochure. Standard packages spread. Raw+ and many cTrader books add commission (about 3.50 USD/lot side is a common public figure - verify live). Elite sits at a much higher capital bar.
- Pick Raw+ only if your volume makes commission cheaper than Standard spread.
- Islamic / swap-free is an overlay where offered, not a fifth pricing book.
- Demo first if you are unsure about platform habits.
Read FSCA FSP 45052 context, then confirm the legal entity named in Direct before you fund.
