The scores are close: FxPro rates 4.3/5 and FXTM rates 4.2/5. FxPro has a marginal edge in our scoring, but the difference is small enough that your specific priorities — fees, platforms, or regulatory jurisdiction — should guide the final choice.
FxPro starts from 1.2 pips, tighter than FXTM's 1.5 pips. Tighter spreads lower the cost per trade, which matters most for high-frequency and scalping strategies.
FXTM has $10, while FxPro requires at least $100. This makes FXTM more accessible for traders with limited starting capital.
Both FxPro and FXTM hold licences from top-tier regulators, indicating a high standard of regulatory oversight. Check each broker's specific regulatory bodies to confirm coverage in your jurisdiction.
For beginners, two factors stand out: FXTM requires a lower minimum deposit ($10), lowering the barrier to entry, and both brokers provide negative balance protection. Also compare demo account availability and educational resources before deciding.
FxPro lists maximum leverage of 500:1, while FXTM lists up to 1000:1. Available leverage depends on your jurisdiction. EU retail clients under ESMA rules are capped at 1:30 on major forex pairs.
FxPro charges $7 per lot on commission-based accounts. Commission details for FXTM are not currently available. Check their website for up-to-date pricing.

FxPro is better suited for scalpers: tighter spreads from 1.20 pips.
FxPro wins for platform choice with a proprietary platform plus MT4/MT5 and cTrader.
