FxPro South Africa - Spreads & Commission
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Standard vs Raw+ (illustrative)
Published-style indications (verify live): Standard often from ~1.2 pips on majors with $0 commission; Raw+/cTrader from 0.0 pips + ~$3.50/side (~$7 round-turn) per standard lot. Spreads widen around news and rollover. Pair with account types.
All-in thinking for SA traders
A “zero spread” screenshot without commission and session context is marketing, not a ledger. Export a week of demo fills, then decide Standard vs Raw+. Funding rails: ZAR deposits.
Inactive / other fees
FxPro may charge inactivity fees after long idle periods (check published terms). Broker withdrawal fee is usually $0 except Neteller 2.6%. Not investment advice - July 2026.
Two cost models for South Africa
Standard keeps cost inside the spread (typical retail majors often quoted from about 1.2 pips in calm sessions - verify live). Raw+ / many cTrader tickets show near 0.0 starts plus about $3.50 per side per lot (~$7 round-turn). “From 0.0” is a starting print, not your fill at news.
All-in comparison habit
- Pick one major (EURUSD or XAUUSD) and one session you actually trade.
- On demo Standard, note average spread for 10 fills.
- On Raw+, add ~$7 per lot round-turn to that tighter spread.
- Pick the lower all-in for your ticket frequency - not the prettier marketing pip.
Scalpers and news traders feel widenings first. Slow swing tickets care more about swap and overnight rules than a 0.1 pip headline. Swap-free / Islamic overlays can change overnight cost - check the account card, not a blog slogan.
Leverage does not rewrite spreads
ESMA-style 1:30 or higher offshore leverage only changes margin locked. Spread and commission stay on the pricing model. Read leverage and account types together.
