FxPro is an online broker providing Contracts for Difference (CFD) on foreign exchange, shares, futures, spot indices, spot metals and spot energies.

History
FxPro was founded in Cyprus in 2006 by Denis Sukhotin, as EuroOrient Securities & Financial Services Ltd.

In 2007, FxPro Financial Services Ltd received its Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) licence. In 2010, FxPro UK Ltd was granted regulation and licensing by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (formerly the Financial Services Authority) and opened its London office.

Between 2010 and 2011 the company opened offices in several countries, including Austria, Spain and Australia (shut down in March 2013).

In 2010 the Broker was voted ‘Forex Provider of the Year' at the Financial Times Investors Chronicle Investment Awards 2010 (FT/IC Investment Awards).

In 2012, FxPro upgraded its Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) licence in the UK, enabling it to begin accepting clients and providing brokerage services under the name FxPro UK Ltd.

In 2015, FxPro was granted authorisation by the South Africa Financial Services Board (FSB).

Sponsorship
Since 2009, the company has sponsored numerous sporting events and teams, including the FIA World Rally Championship, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) , Aston Villa F.C. , Fulham F.C. , AS Monaco F.C. , Super Rugby Australia , the BMW Sauber F1 Team and the 2010 Cyprus Rally. As of 2017, the company's current sponsorships include Watford FC, Yacht Club de Monaco and Monte Carlo Beach Volley.

Trading facilities
The company provides traders a choice between the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms from MetaQuotes, the cTrader platform from Spotware and the in-house FxPro Markets platform. FxPro also provides clients with a range of web-based alternatives and mobile trading platforms. cTrader is compatible with cAlgo, an algorithmic trading platform that allows clients to create trading robots and run them in cTrader, so as to fully automate the trading process.

In 2013 the company launched Quant, a web-based strategy-building solution for the MT4 platform, that allows users to create their own trading robots (called expert advisors) using a drag and drop interface. Quant does not require knowledge of coding.

In October 2013, FxPro launched its proprietary investment platform FxPro SuperTrader, which gives retail or institutional investors the ability to allocate funds to a number of strictly vetted and performance rated FX trading strategies.
