Regulatory Status and Indonesian Context
FxPro holds licenses from FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), SCB (Bahamas), and FSCA (South Africa). Indonesian clients fall under foreign regulatory frameworks, not local OJK oversight.
Forex trading is legal in Indonesia. CFD trading is also legal but largely outside specific local regulation. Indonesian clients do not qualify for UK or EU investor compensation schemes (£85,000 and €20,000 respectively). Risk control therefore carries extra weight for traders based in Jakarta or Surabaya.
Regulatory Summary
| Regulator | Jurisdiction | Client Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| FCA | United Kingdom | £85,000 (UK clients only) |
| CySEC | Cyprus | €20,000 (EU clients only) |
| SCB | Bahamas | Not applicable |
| FSCA | South Africa | Not applicable |
| OJK | Indonesia | Not applicable to FxPro |
Indonesian traders rely entirely on FxPro’s foreign regulatory obligations. No local compensation fund exists.
Account Setup via FxPro iOS

KYC Verification
Upload a valid Indonesian KTP or passport via the app camera. A selfie may be required for liveness verification. Demo trading is accessible without full KYC. Live trading and withdrawals require completed verification.

| MetaTrader 5 | Standard CFD | NDD |
| cTrader | Standard CFD | NDD |

Each platform can be opened as a real or demo account. Leverage, currency, and netting/hedging settings are configured during account creation inside the app.
Deposit Methods and Minimum Amounts
FxPro charges no deposit fee on its side. Banks and payment processors may apply their own conversion or transfer costs.
FxPro does not enforce a mandatory minimum deposit for live accounts. The practical floor depends on the payment method selected. On a Standard account, many traders begin with around $10-$20, though the actual minimum varies by payment provider.
Supported Deposit Methods (Indonesia)
| Method | FxPro Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | None | Standard card processing |
| PayPal | None | Subject to PayPal availability |
| Neteller | None | E-wallet option |
| Skrill | None | E-wallet option |
| Bank transfer | None (broker side) | Bank may charge conversion fees |
Deposits are managed under Wallet & Accounts inside the FxPro iOS app. Select the real account, tap Deposit, choose method, and enter amount.
Instruments and Fee Structure
All instruments on FxPro iOS are CFDs. Traders speculate on price movement without owning the underlying asset.
Available Instrument Categories
- Forex pairs (major, minor, exotic – e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, USD/JPY)
- Metals (Gold – XAU/USD, Silver – XAG/USD)
- Indices (S&P 500, Nasdaq, DAX, FTSE, Nikkei)
- Energies (Brent crude, WTI crude, Natural Gas)
- Shares (approximately 2,000 US, UK, and EU stocks as CFDs)
- Futures (index and commodity futures)
Spread Reference (Standard CFD Account)
| Instrument | Typical Spread | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | 1.4 pips | None |
| AUD/USD | 1.9 pips | None |
| S&P 500 CFD | 0.7 points | None |
| EU Stoxx 50 CFD | 2.6 points | None |
Spreads are approximate and widen during low-liquidity periods. No commission applies on standard CFD accounts.
Non-Trading Fees
Inactivity fee activates after 6 consecutive months without trading activity. No deposit or withdrawal fee from FxPro’s side. Overnight swap charges apply to positions held past the daily rollover – except on Islamic accounts.
Charting and Technical Tools on FxPro iOS
The app integrates TradingView full-screen charting. Indicators load directly on the chart without switching apps.
Indicator Categories Available
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Trend | SMA, EMA, ADX |
| Oscillators | RSI (14), Stochastic, MACD |
| Volatility | Bollinger Bands (20-period, 2 SD) |
| Volume | On-Balance Volume (OBV) |
Trading Central signals are also integrated. These provide pre-built technical analysis and directional signals without manual setup. The economic calendar inside the app includes alerts for high-impact events – relevant for tracking Bank Indonesia rate decisions or US NFP releases that affect USD pairs.
Placing a Trade on FxPro iOS
1. Browse instruments via Favourites or search (e.g., EURUSD, XAUUSD, US500)
2. Tap instrument to open TradingView chart with live bid/ask spread
3. Select order type: Market (immediate) or Pending (Buy/Sell Limit or Stop)
4. Set lot size (1.00 standard lot on FX = 100,000 base currency units; margin required is reduced by leverage)
5. Define Stop Loss and Take Profit levels before confirming
6. Tap Buy or Sell to execute
FxPro uses NDD execution. Typical execution time is under 12 milliseconds. Open positions and unrealised P&L are visible under the Positions tab.
Islamic Account and Indonesia-Specific Considerations
FxPro offers swap-free Islamic accounts on request. These remove overnight interest charges, which is relevant for Indonesian traders observing Sharia principles. Alternative fee structures may apply – check current terms in the FxPro profile or via support.
Indonesian traders using FxPro should account for the IDR equivalent of their account balance. Accounts are typically denominated in USD or EUR. A $500 account represents approximately IDR 8,000,000 at current rates – a meaningful figure when calculating per-trade risk.
Trading hours that align with active liquidity for Indonesian traders: London session opens at 14:00-15:00 WIB, US session at 19:00-20:00 WIB. These windows typically offer tighter spreads on major pairs.
FxPro iOS gives Indonesian traders a single-app environment for account management, analysis, and execution across a broad instrument range.
