FxPro Spreads & Trading Costs | Kenya 2026

Real measured Raw+ spreads and cost

The median spread, all-in cost and how the spread compares with an independent interbank reference feed, measured on FxPro’s own MT5 Raw+ feed — first-hand, not advertised:

‘All-in (pips)’ is also your break-even — the move needed to cover spread plus commission. ‘vs reference’ compares our measured spread with an independent interbank reference feed over the same hours; a negative number means FxPro’s spread was tighter. The round-turn cost is about $78 per $1,000,000 traded on EUR/USD. This page is the Standard-vs-Raw+ cost overview; for the live, hour-by-hour measured spread feed see our live spreads page.

How much a trade costs: Standard vs Raw+

Approximate cost for a round-turn standard lot (100,000 units), in USD. Raw+ / cTrader commission is $3.50 per lot per side ($7.00 round turn) on Raw+ and cTrader accounts. Pip values and spreads are variable — confirm live figures in your platform. Last updated 2026-06-20.

Typical FxPro spreads (all instruments)

Indicative spreads. Metals and indices use different contract sizes — see our gold page for XAU/USD costs.

How a spread becomes a cost

The spread is the gap between the buy and sell price of a contract for difference (CFD). You pay it on entry: spread (in pips) × the pip value of one lot equals your cost. On a Standard account that spread is your whole trading cost; on Raw+ you pay a tighter raw spread plus the $7 round-turn commission. Compare the two on our Raw+ account, MT4 and MT5 pages.

Where the spread actually shows up in your money

A spread is not a fee you pay, it is a price you accept. You buy at the ask and the position is immediately valued at the bid, so a fresh trade opens slightly behind and has to make up that distance before it is level. On a EUR/USD standard lot each pip is worth about $10, so a 1.2-pip spread is roughly $12 of ground to recover and a 0.2-pip spread is roughly $2. Nothing is deducted as a line item; the balance simply starts the trade lower.

This is what makes the spread different from the other charges on this site. The commission on Raw+ and cTrader appears as its own entry, the overnight swap appears as its own entry, and both are easy to find again later. The spread is inside the price and leaves no trace on the statement, which is the main reason traders underestimate what a month of trading took out of the account.

Convert it once and the habit sticks. Multiply the spread in pips by the pip value of your position — about $10 for one EUR/USD lot, $1 for 0.1 lots and $0.10 for 0.01 lots — and you have the cash the entry costs. See live spreads for what the number is doing today and Raw+ for how the commission model splits the same cost in two.

One deduction or two: the same cost, priced differently

Standard and Raw+ do not charge different amounts for being different accounts. They package the same cost differently: Standard folds it entirely into the quote, Raw+ splits it into a narrow quote plus $3.50 per lot per side. On a full lot the Raw+ commission is $7 for a round turn, on a tenth of a lot it is $0.70 and on the 0.01-lot minimum it is $0.07, because commission scales with size exactly as the spread does.

For a Kenyan account funded near the $100 minimum, the practical difference is visibility rather than size. Trading at 0.01 lots, both models cost cents per trade, and the number that decides your month is how often you trade rather than which account you picked. The comparison above shows the current arithmetic on measured numbers; it is worth re-reading when your usual position size changes, not once at signup.

One thing does not change with the account type: the spread is variable. It widens in thin hours and around news, so the same order that costs a few cents at midday can cost several times that in the minutes after a release. That is a timing decision rather than an account decision — see spread during news for what those minutes measured and trading hours for where they fall in EAT.

Per-trade charges against one-off transfers

There are two kinds of money movement on a Kenyan FxPro account and it helps to keep them apart. The spread, the commission and the overnight swap repeat: they attach to trades and to nights, so they scale with how you use the account. The deposit and the withdrawal happen twice in the life of a balance, and FxPro states that it charges nothing for either on most methods.

That asymmetry decides where attention belongs. A funding route is chosen once and mostly reversible only in one direction, since a payout returns by the method the deposit arrived on. A spread is met on every single order, so a habit that costs a few cents per trade costs whatever your monthly trade count multiplies it into. One decision is structural, the other is cumulative.

The one charge that fits neither description is the inactivity fee, which applies after 6 months of no activity on the account. It is not attached to a trade or to a transfer, and it is the only line on this site you avoid simply by using the account rather than by trading it well.

Sizing the first deposit around what trading takes

The $100 minimum is a floor, not a recommendation, and the useful question is how many trades a starting balance can absorb before the costs are a meaningful share of it. At the 0.01-lot minimum on a major, an entry costs cents, so the arithmetic is about frequency: twenty round turns a month at that size is still cents, two hundred is not nothing.

There is a second floor on the way out that is easy to miss when funding. Cards and bank wire carry a $100 minimum on a withdrawal while Skrill, Neteller and PayPal have none, so an account funded by card is an account whose payouts start at $100. Deposit small and trade actively, and you can arrive at a balance you cannot withdraw by the only route you are allowed to use.

Between the two sits a step with no cost at all: money lands in the FxPro Wallet and only reaches the trading account when you move it. It is worth doing immediately, because a balance sitting in the wallet is neither trading nor earning and is the most common reason a new account looks underfunded.

Reading what a month actually took

Two of the three trading costs can be read straight off the account history. Commission on Raw+ and cTrader is booked per side with a date against it, and swap is booked at each rollover, so both can be totalled for a month without estimating anything. That is the honest starting point for judging whether an account is being traded profitably or merely actively.

The spread is the one that has to be reconstructed. It never appears as an entry, because it is the difference between the price you accepted and the price the position was immediately valued at. The nearest practical measure is to multiply your trade count by your usual size and by the typical spread for the instruments you trade, using the measured tables on this site rather than a marketing figure.

Do that once a month and the picture is complete: a known commission total, a known swap total, an estimated spread total, and the two transfers at either end that FxPro states carry no broker fee on most methods. Anything left unexplained on the balance is trading, which is what you wanted to be measuring in the first place.

What changes if you fund in shillings

FxPro states that Kenyan clients can hold and fund an account in Kenyan shilling. The choice is made when the account is opened and it decides the currency your balance, your commission and your swap are expressed in, which is why it belongs before the first deposit rather than in the middle of a trading month.

It does not change what a trade costs. Instruments are priced in dollars and the $3.50 per lot per side is a dollar figure, so the cost side of the arithmetic on this page holds whichever base currency you pick. What changes is the currency you read it in, and the point at which a rate is applied.

That rate is not the broker's. FxPro states it charges no deposit fee and no withdrawal fee on most methods, so anything taken when money crosses currencies belongs to your bank or your e-wallet. It is a question worth putting to them before you commit to a funding route you will also be paid out on.

What your bank or wallet adds that the broker does not

FxPro states that it charges no deposit fee and no withdrawal fee on most methods. That is a statement about one side of the transfer only. The provider moving the money has its own schedule of charges, and on a route that leaves the shilling it may also apply its own rate, neither of which appears anywhere in the trading costs on this page.

There is one exception worth knowing before you fund. FxPro notes that an e-wallet withdrawal may carry a small provider fee if you have not placed any trades, which mostly affects accounts that deposit, change their mind and ask for the money straight back. It is not a trading cost, but it lands on the same balance.

The practical step is to ask the question in the right place. What a spread costs is answered here and on live spreads. What a transfer costs is answered by your bank or e-wallet, and it is worth asking them before you commit to the route that will also carry your payouts.

The order these costs arrive in over the life of one balance

Laid out as a timeline rather than a list, the money path has a shape that is easy to hold in your head. Nothing is charged while you register and while your documents are checked. Nothing is charged when you deposit, according to FxPro, and nothing when the money moves from the FxPro Wallet across to the trading account. The first charge of any kind arrives with the first order.

From there the pattern repeats rather than escalates. Each order pays a spread and, on raw pricing, a commission on each side. Each night a position survives pays a swap. The account keeps doing exactly that for as long as you keep trading, which is why a monthly figure is a better unit than a per-trade one once the account is running.

The last two events mirror the first two. A payout goes back on the method the deposit arrived on, most methods carry no broker fee according to FxPro, and requests are handled 24/5 and usually within one business day. Then the account is quiet, and the only clock still running is the one that brings an inactivity fee after 6 months of no activity.

Turning a quoted spread into money out of the balance

1. Note the spread in pips for the instrument you are about to trade, from your platform or from the measured table on this page.
2. Find the pip value for your size: about $10 per pip on one EUR/USD lot, $1 on 0.1 lots, $0.10 on 0.01 lots.
3. Multiply the two. That is the cash the entry costs you, and it is already gone the moment the order fills.
4. On Raw+ or cTrader add $3.50 per lot for the open and $3.50 per lot for the close, scaled to the same position size.
5. If the trade will sleep, add one overnight swap for each night it stays open, and three for a Wednesday.
6. Compare that total against the move you are actually trading for. If the cost is a large share of the target, the size or the instrument is wrong rather than the account.

Pip values are approximate for USD-quoted majors; your platform shows the exact figures charged to your account.

What one round turn takes out, by position size

Commission is fixed per lot per side; the spread is variable and indicative here. The Raw+ column excludes the raw spread itself, which is shown in the measured table above.

Every charge and every transfer on a Kenyan account

Your bank or payment provider may apply its own charges on a transfer; those are not the broker's.

What a starting balance can carry

Sizes here are illustrative, not advice, and assume a stop that the balance can absorb. Skrill, Neteller and PayPal have no withdrawal minimum.
