Available Trading Instruments Categories

Forex Currency Pairs

Our forex portfolio includes majors like EUR/USD and GBP/USD, minors, and exotics such as USD/ZAR reflecting Namibia’s currency environment. Trading operates 24 hours from Sunday evening to Friday night, covering all major global sessions. Spreads start as low as 0.6 pips on major pairs, with leverage options up to 1:30 for retail clients. Users can access these pairs via MT4, MT5, cTrader, or FxPro Trading Platform.

Stock CFDs

Stock CFDs cover global markets like NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, and JSE, including companies relevant to Namibian investors such as Naspers and Vodacom.

Trading hours align with local exchanges with some extended hours for US indices. Leverage reaches up to 1:20, adjustable based on risk preferences. The FTSE/JSE Top 40 is particularly relevant for Namibian traders interested in South African market movements.

To trade these instruments, users select the desired category via their platform dashboard, apply filters for liquidity and spread, and use the built-in charting tools to analyze price trends before order placement. Orders can be market or pending types, executed with minimal latency through our high-speed servers.

Traders begin by completing an online form with email, phone, and personal data. We require a valid passport or national ID, plus proof of residence dated within three months. Documents upload via a secure portal with encrypted transfer. Verification completes within 1-3 business days, triggering account activation and platform access.

Deposit Methods and Processing

Minimum deposits range from $100 to $1,000 depending on account type. We verify funding sources for anti-money laundering compliance, keeping client funds segregated for safety.

How to Start Trading

After funding, users log into their chosen platform, select instruments, and place trades. We recommend using demo accounts to familiarize with platform features before live trading. Automated and manual strategies can be tested via MT4/MT5 simulators.

Risk Management Tools and Features

FxPro’s platforms integrate several risk control tools to protect capital. Stop-loss and take-profit orders are standard across all platforms, enabling automatic trade exit at predefined levels. Trailing stops adjust dynamically to lock in profits as markets move favorably. Negative balance protection prevents accounts from dipping below zero, ensuring no unexpected losses.

• Use stop-loss orders to cap downside on every trade
• Employ trailing stops during strong market trends
• Monitor margin levels to avoid forced liquidation
• Calculate position sizes based on risk tolerance
• Set price alerts for key market levels

These tools help Namibian traders manage exposure efficiently while maintaining control over volatile markets.

Trading Costs and Fee Structure

Spread-Based Pricing

Most instruments use variable spreads fluctuating with market liquidity. Major forex pairs offer spreads from 0.6 pips during active sessions; spreads widen during off-hours. Raw spread accounts provide direct market access with low spreads plus commissions. Fixed spread accounts maintain consistent costs regardless of volatility, suiting those who prefer cost predictability.

Overnight Financing

Swap fees or credits are applied for positions held past daily rollover (22:00 GMT). These depend on interest rate differentials for currencies or holding costs for commodities and indices. Triple swaps apply on Wednesdays to cover weekend periods. Cryptocurrency CFDs incur higher overnight fees due to volatility and funding costs.

Fee Transparency

All fees and commissions are disclosed on FxPro’s website, updated regularly. Traders can review current swap rates and commissions directly in their platform interface before placing trades. Understanding costs helps Namibian traders manage profitability effectively.

The variety of trading instruments, combined with transparent fees and advanced platform tools, equips Namibian traders to execute strategies across forex, CFDs, commodities, and cryptocurrencies with confidence.
