The scores are close: FxPro rates 4.3/5 and RoboForex rates 4/5. 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.
RoboForex starts from 0 pips, tighter than FxPro's 1.2 pips. Tighter spreads lower the cost per trade, which matters most for high-frequency and scalping strategies.
