FxPro vs XChief

FxPro is licensed by FCA in the United Kingdom, CySEC in the European Union and SCB in The Bahamas, and also has an offshore registration. XChief has no licence we could confirm on a regulator's register. The licence that applies to you depends on where you live, so check which company you would contract with before comparing anything else.

On its cheapest account per lot, FxPro costs about $9.6 per standard lot on EUR/USD (Raw+ account: 0.3 pips plus $7 commission); XChief costs about $7 (xPRIME account: 0.1 pips plus $6 commission). On these typical figures XChief is $2.6 cheaper per lot, or $26 a month at 10 lots. Swap and other fees are extra.

Minimum deposits start at $0 at FxPro and $0 at XChief (the xPRIME account needs $500). Both offer negative balance protection and segregated client money.

Our notes

Strengths
  • UK company authorised by the FCA and EU company licensed by CySEC, both strict regulators
  • Client money held in segregated accounts, with negative balance protection for all clients
  • Raw+ account costs about $9.60 per lot on EUR/USD, against about $14.90 on Standard
  • Four account types, including a cent account with no minimum deposit
  • Negative balance protection and segregated client money are stated in its risk disclosure
  • Leverage is cut automatically as account equity grows, which limits the size of positions on larger accounts
Watch out for
  • Clients outside the UK and EU usually join the Bahamas company, with lighter rules and no FSCS or ICF cover
  • Leverage at the Bahamas company is dynamic with no fixed cap on major pairs, which magnifies losses
  • Live accounts are disabled after 3 months of inactivity
  • Says xChief Ltd holds Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) licence T2023379; we could not confirm it on MISA's register on 2026-10-20 (the register blocked automated access).
  • Says xChief ZA (Pty) Ltd is authorised by the FSCA as FSP 54829; we could not confirm it on the FSCA register on 2026-10-20 (the register could not be reached). That company only introduces clients; accounts are opened with xChief Ltd in Comoros.
  • Leverage up to 1:1000 and heavy use of bonuses, no-deposit offers and trading credits
  • Inactive accounts pay $20 and then $20 a month

Risk warnings

The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:

  • FxPro: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Please ensure you fully understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Other head-to-head pages

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
