This combined offering allows diversified portfolio management within a single platform. Singapore traders can switch seamlessly between asset classes using the same account.

Order Types and Execution Methods

Market and Pending Orders

Market orders execute instantly at the best available price with minimal slippage. Pending orders include Buy Stop and Sell Stop (triggered above or below current price), as well as Buy Limit and Sell Limit (executed at preset levels). Stop Loss and Take Profit orders automate risk and profit management by closing positions at specified prices. Trailing Stops dynamically adjust the stop loss to lock in gains as price moves favorably.

Execution Speed and Pricing

We guarantee no requotes on all accounts. Average execution speed is under 13 milliseconds during normal conditions. Price improvement occurs when better prices are available during order processing, benefiting Singapore traders with tighter spreads and faster fills.

Risk Management Tools

Position sizing calculators assist in determining appropriate trade volumes based on account equity. Leverage limits comply with ESMA rules, capping at 1:30 for retail clients. Negative balance protection ensures accounts cannot fall below zero during volatile market swings. Margin requirements adjust according to the instrument and leverage used, with real-time free margin updates.

Step-by-Step CFD Trading Process

Opening Your First CFD Position

To initiate a CFD trade, open the Market Watch window and select the desired instrument. Right-click the symbol and select “New Order” to open the order window, which displays bid/ask prices and spread. Enter trade volume in lots or units, depending on the instrument specifications. Choose order type: Market for instant execution or Pending for future price triggers. Set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels to manage risk and potential returns.

• Confirm the instrument symbol and price quotes
• Input trade volume within margin limits
• Configure stop loss at acceptable loss threshold
• Set take profit target based on analysis
• Click Buy or Sell to place the order

Following these steps ensures precise control over trade entries and risk exposure on the FxPro platform.

Monitoring and Modifying Positions

The Terminal window lists all open positions with live profit and loss updates. Position details include open price, current price, swap fees, and commissions. You can modify Stop Loss and Take Profit levels by double-clicking the open position. Partial closures allow reducing trade size while maintaining exposure. Comments can be added for trade tracking and strategy review.
