How To Start Trading on FxPro

Once your account is verified and funded, you can place your first trade on MT4, MT5 or cTrader. This guide covers the basic process of opening, managing and closing positions.

This tutorial is for educational purposes only and does not constitute trading advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any instrument.

Step 1 – Log In to Your Trading Platform

  1. Open your chosen platform (MT4, MT5 or cTrader) on desktop or mobile.
  2. Enter your login, password and select the correct server as provided in FxPro Direct.
  3. Confirm that your account is connected by checking the status or connection icon.

Step 2 – Select an Instrument

  1. Open the Market Watch or symbols list.
  2. Choose the instrument you want to trade, such as EURUSD, XAUUSD, US100 or a share CFD.
  3. Right-click (desktop) or tap-hold (mobile) to open the trading window.

Step 3 – Decide Your Order Size

  1. Set the volume (lot size) based on your risk management rules.
  2. On MT4/MT5, volume is specified in lots; on cTrader it may display in units.
  3. Only risk a small percentage of your account balance per trade, according to your plan.

Step 4 – Add Stop Loss & Take Profit

  1. Before placing the order, set a Stop Loss (SL) to limit potential loss.
  2. Optionally set a Take Profit (TP) level where your platform will close the trade in profit.
  3. Make sure the SL/TP levels respect your strategy and the current market volatility.

Step 5 – Place & Monitor the Trade

  1. Choose Buy or Sell based on your own analysis.
  2. Once the trade is open, monitor it via the Terminal / Trade window.
  3. You can modify SL/TP or close the trade manually when needed.
