Is FxPro Good for Scalping?
Whether FxPro’s Raw+ account suits scalping — judged on measured spreads, execution speed, slippage and stop rules, not marketing.
Open FxPro Account →Yes — on our measured Raw+ data, FxPro suits scalping. EUR/USD spreads sat at a stable 0.2-pip median, market orders filled in about 78–99 ms with near-zero slippage and no rejects, and there is no minimum stop distance. The measured evidence is below.
The measured case for scalping at FxPro
- Tight, stable spreads: EUR/USD measured a 0.2-pip median spread with a stability ratio of 1 — it barely widens outside the daily rollover.
- Fast fills: market orders filled in about 78 to 99 milliseconds with near-zero slippage and no rejects in our test.
- No minimum stop or limit distance (stops level 0) — place a stop-loss or take-profit right next to the price.
- Raw spreads with a low commission, so EUR/USD breaks even in just 0.9 pips.

What to watch when scalping
- Spreads widen around the 00:00 server rollover — scalp the liquid London and New York hours instead.
- Commission adds up at high frequency: factor the $3.50-per-side Raw+ commission into every trade.
- Gold is not ideal for scalping — its measured spread is far wider (about 15 pips) and less stable than the FX majors.
