FxPro South Africa - Account Types: Standard, Raw+, Elite

75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Standard - clearest starting point
Standard is spread-led with no separate commission line. FxPro states no fixed Wallet minimum for Standard; cards and e-wallets still often enforce ~$100 or rand equivalent. Good default if you trade less frequently. See ZAR deposits and open account.
Raw+ - execution-cost choice
Raw+ typically needs ~$1,000 and charges about $3.50 per side per standard lot (~$7 round-turn) plus the displayed spread. Useful for active FX; not automatically cheaper for occasional trades. Verify live quotes on a demo.
Elite - capital threshold first
Elite is commonly associated with ~$30,000 and volume-related benefits. Treat it as a capital decision under your contracting entity (often FSCA FSP 45052 for SA routes), not a marketing upgrade. Confirm qualification rules in Direct.
Platform choice belongs with the account
MT4 for legacy EAs, MT5 for breadth, cTrader for DOM/manual FX, Edge for browser. Changing later may mean an additional account - decide before you fund. Mobile: see FxPro mobile app.
