Forex Currency Pairs and Market Access

We provide a range of forex trading instruments including major, minor, and exotic currency pairs. South African traders often focus on USD/ZAR, EUR/ZAR, and GBP/ZAR pairs due to their local economic significance. Our platform features real-time spreads starting at 0.6 pips on majors and executes orders within 13 milliseconds on average. Liquidity providers maintain consistent pricing even during volatile sessions such as economic announcements. Trading is available 24/5, enabling positions to be managed across different global sessions.

• Major pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF
• ZAR cross pairs: USD/ZAR, EUR/ZAR, GBP/ZAR, AUD/ZAR
• Islamic swap-free accounts for overnight position compliance

Using our platform, traders can monitor economic events impacting ZAR pairs through an integrated calendar. Alerts can be set for price levels or market news, enabling timely decision-making. Automated strategies can also be configured to respond to these triggers.

CFD Trading Across Multiple Asset Classes

FxPro provides access to over 2,100 CFD trading instruments spanning stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. South African clients can use leverage up to 1:30, adhering to regulatory standards. The platform automatically calculates margin and displays used and available equity in real time. Positions can be sized flexibly from 0.01 lots upwards, respecting risk management settings and account equity. Negative balance protection guards against losses exceeding account funds during extreme market conditions.

Stock CFDs from Global Exchanges

Our stock CFDs cover major global markets such as NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, and Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). South African traders can trade local stocks like Naspers, MTN, and Standard Bank alongside international stocks such as Apple and Tesla. Commission fees differ by exchange, with JSE stocks charged R0.08 per share and US stocks $0.02 per share. The platform adjusts for dividends on long positions held through ex-dividend dates.

Commodity and Energy CFDs

Commodity CFDs include precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum, plus energy products such as crude oil and natural gas. Agricultural commodities like wheat and corn are also available. These instruments often correlate with South Africa’s economy, especially mining and agriculture sectors. Micro-lot trading is supported for gold starting at 0.01 ounces, facilitating access for smaller accounts. Energy CFDs roll over automatically before expiry to maintain continuous market exposure.
