FP Markets vs FxPro for Romania Traders (2026)

For Romania traders, trading costs can eat into profits, especially for those trading high volumes. FP Markets offers a Raw ECN account with spreads from 0.0 pips on EUR/USD and a small commission of $3 per lot per side. FxPro’s standard account has spreads averaging 0.6 pips on EUR/USD with no commission. On a monthly volume of 50 lots, FP Markets is roughly 30% cheaper in total cost. If you trade less than 10 lots per month, FxPro’s zero-commission model may be simpler. Always check the latest spread data as it can vary by market conditions.

Both brokers support the popular MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, which are widely used by Romania traders. FxPro also offers cTrader, a platform preferred by those who want advanced charting and fast execution. FP Markets provides IRESS, a professional-grade platform for forex and CFD traders. For mobile trading, both have well-rated apps. Romania traders who value platform choice may lean toward FxPro, while those wanting a dedicated ECN platform will find FP Markets’ IRESS appealing.

FP Markets uses an ECN/STP model with no dealing desk intervention, offering fast execution with average speeds below 40ms. FxPro also uses STP execution with no requotes, but its average execution speed is around 50ms. For scalpers and high-frequency traders in Romania, FP Markets has a slight edge. Both brokers offer low latency via servers in London and New York, ensuring good connectivity from Romania.

FP Markets is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). FxPro is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, CySEC, and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa. Neither broker is regulated by ASF Romania, but both comply with EU MiFID II standards through their CySEC entities. For Romania traders, this means client funds are segregated and negative balance protection applies. Always verify the entity you are signing up with, as terms may differ between jurisdictions.

Funding your trading account from Romania is straightforward with both brokers. FP Markets and FxPro accept Bank Transfer (1-3 days, free), Credit/Debit Cards (instant, free), and Skrill (instant, free). FP Markets also supports Neteller and PayPal, while FxPro adds UnionPay. Minimum deposits are low: FP Markets requires $100 (approx 450 RON) for standard accounts, and FxPro requires $100 as well. Withdrawals are processed within 1-2 business days for e-wallets and 3-5 days for bank transfers. No internal fees are charged by either broker, but your bank may apply conversion fees if you deposit in RON. Using Skrill or Credit Card avoids conversion costs.

Muslim traders in Romania can open Islamic (swap-free) accounts with both FP Markets and FxPro. FP Markets offers swap-free accounts on request for all account types, with no swap charges on overnight positions. FxPro also provides Islamic accounts but may charge a small administration fee if a position is held for more than a specified period (check current terms). Both brokers require you to confirm your Muslim faith when applying. This makes both brokers suitable for Romania’s Muslim community, though FP Markets has a simpler policy.

FP Markets offers 24/5 customer support via live chat, email, and phone, with Romanian language support available during European hours. FxPro also provides 24/5 support in multiple languages, including Romanian. Response times are similar, usually within a few minutes for live chat. Both brokers have extensive FAQ sections on their websites. For Romania traders, having local language support is a plus, and both deliver.
