FxPro vs IC Markets — Raw Account Comparison

FxPro Raw+ calls for roughly USD 7 round-turn commission per standard lot in addition to the live spread. IC Markets’ applicable commission varies by account and platform, so use its live terms rather than a fixed number copied from a comparison. A 0.0 quote can still carry a meaningful total cost.

News, rollover and thin liquidity can widen spreads or move a market order away from its requested price with either broker. If you use an EA, run the same logic on a demo first and, if appropriate, a carefully sized live test. Compare a series of fills, not one ideal example.

FxPro’s cTrader availability is a practical reason to shortlist it. Check IC Markets’ current account-creation options rather than assuming its platform set. If you already have an MT4/MT5 system, migration effort and symbol naming can matter more than a headline account type.

Neither option should be treated as a Japanese FSA domestic account. Identify your contracting entity, payment method and applicable leverage before funding. High leverage may lower margin while leaving the exposure—and a potential loss—unchanged.

Run the same pair, size, session and holding time on both sides. A raw-account label does not settle all-in cost or fill quality. Add FxPro Raw+ commission of about USD 7 round turn per standard lot before calling either quote cheaper.

Execution differences often appear around releases and thin liquidity, not on a quiet mid-session screenshot. Keep a short fill log if the method is sensitive to a tenth of a pip.

Both names are offshore offers for many Japan residents. Check contracting entities and live instrument lists rather than assuming cTrader or raw pricing is identical everywhere.

All-in pricing matters, but so does the cost of moving an EA, templates or cTrader layout. A slightly tighter quote is a poor trade if it forces a rebuild of a working setup.

Compare Raw-style accounts with commission included, then ask whether your entity and instrument list still match. Japan residents should treat both offers as offshore and verify live eligibility rather than copying a global review table.

List the non-price reasons for each broker: platform habit, research tools, support expectations and entity comfort. Price alone rarely explains a durable choice.

Then add Raw-style commission on both sides and see whether the gap still matters for your lot size. A tiny difference on EUR/USD may vanish on the pairs you actually trade.
