FxPro MetaTrader checklist

MetaTrader is a widely used third-party trading platform family, and many traders search for it by name when choosing a broker. Platform availability, supported versions and account compatibility differ between brokers and can change over time, so this page does not assert what FxPro currently supports. Instead, it sets out the questions to answer and the checks to run so you can confirm the current MetaTrader arrangements directly with FxPro before opening or funding an account.

Verify which platforms and versions are currently offered

Brokers may offer MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, both, or neither, and the lineup can change as licensing and product decisions evolve. Check FxPro's official platform pages and account documentation to confirm which versions are available for new accounts, on which devices, and for which instruments. Also confirm whether every account type supports the platform you want, since some brokers tie specific platforms to specific account types or pricing models. If anything is unclear, ask support in writing before you sign up.

  • Confirm whether MT4, MT5 or both are available to new clients in your country.
  • Check which account types are compatible with each platform version.
  • Verify desktop, web and mobile availability for the version you plan to use.
  • Confirm which instruments can be traded on each platform, as coverage can differ.

Check execution, features and automation details

If you plan to use expert advisors, custom indicators or copy trading, confirm that the broker permits them on the platform and account type you choose, and review any conditions in the terms of business. Execution model, order types, stop-out levels and margin rules are set by the broker, not the platform, so read the current contract specifications rather than assuming platform defaults. Details such as minimum stop distances, hedging permissions and scalping policies matter for strategy compatibility and must come from the broker's own current documents.

  • Confirm whether automated trading and expert advisors are permitted on your account type.
  • Read the contract specifications for spreads, commissions, swap times and stop-out levels.
  • Check hedging, netting and partial-fill behaviour for the platform version you choose.
  • Ask about any restrictions on trading styles in the written terms.

Test on a demo account before committing funds

A demo account is the most direct way to check that the platform setup fits your workflow. Use it to test order placement, chart tools, indicator installation and any automation you rely on, and note how the interface behaves during busy market periods, while remembering that demo conditions do not fully replicate live execution. Keep a checklist of anything that behaves differently from what the broker's documents describe and raise it with support. For broader research, return to the full FxPro review at /reviews/fxpro, compare brokers at /tools/compare-brokers?brokers=fxpro, or browse /reviews.

  • Open a demo to test orders, charts and any indicators or EAs you use.
  • Remember demo execution may differ from live conditions, especially around news events.
  • Document discrepancies between documented terms and observed behaviour, and query them in writing.

FAQ

Does FxPro support MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5?

Platform lineups change, so confirm this directly on FxPro's official site and with support in writing. Ask specifically which versions are open to new clients in your country, on which devices, and for which account types, rather than relying on older third-party pages.

Are trading conditions the same on every MetaTrader broker?

No. The platform is common, but spreads, commissions, execution model, margin rules, stop-out levels and permitted strategies are set by each broker. Always read the broker's current contract specifications and terms of business for the exact account type you intend to open.

How should I test a MetaTrader setup before funding an account?

Open a demo account, test the order types, charting tools and any expert advisors or indicators you depend on, and compare observed behaviour with the broker's documentation. Keep in mind that demo conditions do not fully match live execution, so start small if you move to a live account.
