IC Markets Vs FxPro For Romania Traders (2026)

IC Markets offers raw spreads from 0.0 pips on its True ECN accounts with a $3.50 commission per lot (USD). FxPro’s spreads start at 0.6 pips on cTrader and 1.2 pips on MT4/MT5, with no commission on standard accounts. For Romania traders trading 10 standard lots per month, IC Markets can save $200+ compared to FxPro. Additionally, IC Markets has lower swap rates (overnight fees) for EUR/RON pairs, making it more cost-effective for longer-term trades. FxPro’s wider spreads are offset by its zero-commission model, but for scalpers and high-volume traders, IC Markets is clearly cheaper.

Both brokers offer MT4, MT5, and cTrader, but IC Markets provides a more customizable experience with VPS options and advanced charting tools. FxPro’s platforms are slightly more beginner-friendly with integrated news feeds and one-click trading. For Romania traders, IC Markets’ cTrader platform offers depth of market and algorithmic trading capabilities, ideal for those using Expert Advisors (EAs). FxPro’s MT4/MT5 are stable and reliable, but lack the raw execution speed of IC Markets. Mobile apps for both are optimized for Android and iOS, with Romanian language support available.

IC Markets boasts an average execution speed of 40ms on its True ECN accounts, while FxPro averages 60ms on its cTrader platform. IC Markets uses multiple liquidity providers and a no-dealing desk (NDD) model, reducing slippage and requotes. FxPro also uses NDD but has fewer liquidity sources. For Romania traders trading volatile pairs like EUR/RON or USD/RON, IC Markets’ faster execution minimizes spread costs and slippage. Both brokers offer negative balance protection, but IC Markets’ execution is superior for scalping and high-frequency strategies.
