In this head to head comparison of FxPro vs Markets4you, we will compare the trading platforms, mobile apps, range of investments, costs, market research, and more. Let's dive in.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 51% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
FxPro, established in 2006, holds a strong position in the online trading world with a high Trust Score of 93 according to ForexBrokers.com, reflecting its reliability. As a bank, FxPro possesses two Tier-1 licenses and one Tier-2 license, indicating strong regulatory compliance and customer trust. Despite not being publicly traded, these credentials highlight its commitment to providing secure trading experiences. In contrast, Markets4you, founded in 2007, lacks both Tier-1 and Tier-2 licenses and has a Trust Score of 61, categorizing it as a high-risk broker. Additionally, Markets4you is not a bank, which may affect the level of trust traders place in it.

For commissions and fees, FxPro earns 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #33 out of 63 brokers at ForexBrokers.com, while Markets4you earns 3.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #55. FxPro’s pricing is generally higher than the industry average, but it still scores better than Markets4you in this category.
FxPro offers variable or fixed spreads on MT4 (fixed spreads aren’t available on MT5). Based on August 2020 data, typical EUR/USD costs were about 1.58 pips with market execution on MT4 (1.51 pips on MT5) and 1.71 pips with instant execution. On cTrader, pricing is commission-based with an effective EUR/USD cost around 1.27 pips (0.37-pip average spread plus a 0.9-pip commission equivalent). Execution also differs: instant execution may requote but avoids slippage, while market execution can slip but won’t requote. cTrader has no minimum distance for stop/limit orders; MetaTrader requires at least 1 pip even on the Elite account. FxPro’s Elite/Active Trader program can trim costs by up to 30%, though overall pricing still lags the lowest-cost brokers.
Markets4you does not publish average spread data, making its true trading costs hard to compare directly with FxPro. If pricing is your priority, consider the full picture—spreads, any per-trade commission, and financing charges—and verify live quotes and account terms with Markets4you, while FxPro provides clearer historical benchmarks.
