In this video we will talk about the top 5 forex brokers in the UK.
As you probably know, there are certain geographical locations around the globe that have different regulations and thus many brokers that operate there don’t operate in other parts of the world.
So without further ado these are the 5 top forex brokers in the UK.
FX Pro
The first of the Top 5 Forex Brokers in the UK is FxPro, a global CFD and forex broker founded in 2006.

The broker offers 5 different account types that are based on the trading platform the clients use.
Two of them are offered through MT4 and are the MT4 Instant versus the Standard MT4. Both offer the same CFD Instruments, and the same trade size, however when it comes to trading costs The Instant account offer ‘fixed spreads only to 7 major pairs. The last major difference comes in the execution type of those two accounts. While the FXPRO MT4 Instant receives the price the client sees on screen or receives a requote the Standard MT4 has tiered liquidity, as orders are executed at the volume-weighted average price.
The other 3 accounts are on MT5, Ctrader, and their own native platform.
To mention here that FXPro allows Spread Betting. Spread Betting is a form of derivatives trading, which means you aren’t taking ownership of the underlying asset. You open a position based on whether you think the value of an instrument will rise or fall. If the asset price moves in your favor, you profit, if it goes against you, you incur a loss.
As you probably understood from the description of the account types, 4 trading platforms are offered:
Their own FXPRo Platform, the well-known Metatrader 4, Metatrader 5, and Ctrader.
