EasyMarkets vs FxPro for China Traders 2026

For China traders, trading costs are a key differentiator. EasyMarkets uses fixed spreads: EUR/USD starts at 1.2 pips, no commissions. FxPro offers variable spreads on its Raw account from 0.6 pips plus a small commission. On a standard lot (100,000 units), EasyMarkets costs about $12 per round turn, while FxPro charges approximately $6–8 depending on volatility and volume. For high-frequency traders or those trading multiple lots daily, FxPro’s lower variable spreads yield significant savings. EasyMarkets’ fixed model provides cost certainty, but at a premium for active traders.

FxPro supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and its proprietary FxPro Edge, catering to both manual and algorithmic traders. This variety is ideal for China traders who use Expert Advisors or need advanced charting. EasyMarkets offers only MT4 and a web-based platform, limiting flexibility. For Chinese traders accustomed to MetaTrader, both work, but FxPro’s additional cTrader provides deeper order book access. EasyMarkets’ web trader is simpler but lacks advanced features. FxPro’s platform range wins for versatility.

FxPro offers ultra-fast execution with no requotes, using a straight-through-processing (STP) model with liquidity from top banks. EasyMarkets uses a market maker model with fixed spreads, which can result in requotes during high volatility. For China traders trading during Asian sessions when liquidity is lower, FxPro’s No Dealing Desk model provides faster fills and slippage handling. EasyMarkets’ execution is adequate for casual traders, but FxPro is superior for active and high-volume traders.

EasyMarkets is regulated by CySEC, ASIC, and the FSA (Seychelles). FxPro holds licenses from the FCA (UK), CySEC, SCB (Bahamas), and FSCA (South Africa). Neither is regulated by the CSRC, meaning China traders must open accounts through offshore entities (e.g., EasyMarkets EU or FxPro UK/International). FxPro’s FCA regulation offers stronger client fund protection (FSCS up to £85,000) and negative balance protection, which is not guaranteed under Seychelles regulation. For China traders prioritizing safety, FxPro’s top-tier regulation is more reassuring, though EasyMarkets still meets basic EU standards.

China traders can fund accounts via USDT (ERC20 or TRC20) and international bank transfer (SWIFT). USDT deposits are processed within minutes with no fees at both brokers—ideal for avoiding China’s capital controls. Bank transfers take 1-3 business days and incur intermediary bank fees (typically $10-25). EasyMarkets supports USDT as an account base currency with minimum deposit $25; FxPro requires $100 minimum for USDT. Withdrawals at FxPro are free for USDT and bank wire, while EasyMarkets charges a $5 fee for wire withdrawals. Both brokers require KYC documentation. For frequent transactions, USDT is faster and cheaper.

Both EasyMarkets and FxPro offer Islamic (swap-free) accounts for China’s Muslim traders. EasyMarkets allows Islamic accounts on request but restricts certain instruments like commodities and indices to avoid swap-like fees. FxPro provides true swap-free accounts on all forex pairs with no expiry, subject to approval. FxPro also supports Islamic accounts on cTrader, while EasyMarkets limits to MT4. For Muslim traders who want full instrument access, FxPro is the better choice. Both maintain compliance with Sharia principles by not charging or crediting overnight interest.

EasyMarkets offers 24/5 live chat and email support in English, Chinese, and Arabic. FxPro provides 24/5 live chat, phone, and email support in multiple languages including Mandarin. Both have responsive support, but FxPro’s phone line and faster email turnaround (within 2 hours) give it an edge for urgent issues. Chinese language support is available at both, so the difference is marginal; FxPro wins slightly on availability and speed.
