One ticket for week one (SA desk habit)
FxPro platforms South Africa means four doors that share a Wallet: MT4, MT5, cTrader, Edge. Opening all four on day one splits attention and KYC follow-ups. Pick the stack that matches your tools, fund once, prove fills on demo, then size live.
- MT4: older EAs and simple chart packs. Wrong server string = login fail - copy from the trading account card (login help).
- MT5: more order types and symbols on many entities. Do not assume every metal/index is enabled for your entity.
- cTrader: depth and algo tools - deeper notes on cTrader.
- Edge: browser when install is blocked. Still needs Wallet allocation before charts show balance.
Costs and sessions still beat UI arguments
Platform choice does not rewrite leverage. Entity + account type set leverage and product list. Measure all-in cost on spreads and account types. Gold habits: gold trading. Mobile: mobile app.
- Open demo on the same platform you will fund.
- Place a micro live order only after demo fills look sane in your session.
- Keep one platform for news spikes; switching mid-event widens mistakes.
FSCA honesty: FSCA. AF: platforms AF. July 2026. Direct wins.
