Account Verification Requirements for Deposit Processing

FxPro mandates completion of KYC verification before enabling live deposits. South African clients must provide a government-issued ID such as a passport, ID card, or driver’s license. Proof of residence documents dated within six months, like utility bills or bank statements, are also required.

• Proof of address (utility bill, bank statement)
• Proof of income (payslips, bank statements)
• Source of funds declaration for significant deposits

The liveness verification uses facial recognition through mobile device scanning. Processing times average 24-48 hours within business days. Our compliance team reviews submissions thoroughly and communicates approval or requests for additional documents promptly.

Risk Management Tools and Position Sizing

FxPro provides several tools to manage risk and optimize position sizes based on your minimum deposit. Our position size calculator allows input of account balance, risk percentage, and stop-loss distance to determine appropriate trade volume. We recommend risking no more than 2% of equity per trade to protect capital effectively.

• Automatic stop-loss and take-profit order placement
• Trailing stops for dynamic risk adjustment
• Real-time margin monitoring with alerts
• Negative balance protection preventing deficit
• Leverage up to 1:30 for retail accounts, up to 1:500 for professionals

These features are accessible through platform interfaces and FxPro Direct. Margin calls trigger notifications when available margin decreases below thresholds. Maintaining adequate margin levels prevents forced position liquidations and supports sustained trading activity.
