FxPro scalping policy
Historically allowed under Gen-Info conditions. Verify live terms. August 2026.
FxPro has publicly stated in General Information materials that scalping is allowed, along with EA use, subject to fair trading and abuse constraints. That is a policy stance for the published conditions of the relevant entity, not a guarantee every strategy will run forever without review.
What "allowed" still requires
- You follow the live client agreement and trading conditions
- You avoid abusive latency arbitrage styles the broker prohibits
- You accept that execution quality varies by session and symbol
- You model commission + spread on Raw+ before claiming edge
Practical setup for HK hours
Asia morning liquidity on some FX pairs is thinner than London. If you scalp gold or indices around local lunch, demo the session spreads first. Platform choice matters: some traders prefer cTrader for depth; others stay on MT5 for EA stacks. See platforms.
Risk framing
Scalping does not reduce the structural CFD warning. 75%+ of retail accounts lose money. Faster tickets can mean faster loss realisation. Size using deposit psychology, not adrenaline.
EA and VPS notes
Many scalping EAs sit on a VPS near the broker's servers. That can reduce latency. It does not create a risk-free edge. If your EA only works by exploiting delay, expect the broker's abuse language to matter. Keep logs. If terms change, you want evidence of your own behaviour too.
News scalping
Trading the exact second of a US data release is a different sport from fade-the-move five minutes later. Spreads widen. Rejects happen. Demo a few events before you size live. If you cannot watch the calendar, do not pretend news scalping is your plan.
When to pick another broker
If live conditions for your entity ban your exact style, stop arguing with affiliate blogs. Switch or change style. Comparisons: vs IC Markets, vs XM.
Conditions and expectations
Published FxPro materials have generally allowed scalping subject to fair-use and abuse rules. That is not a promise of fills, profits, or zero rejection. Confirm current conditions for your entity in Direct. Measure round-turn during the hours you actually trade from Hong Kong.
Raw+ style accounts can suit frequent tickets if commission is priced into your edge. Tiny Wallets make Raw+ inefficient. See spreads and minimum deposit.
Platform choice for short holds
cTrader depth tools help some discretionary scalpers. MT4/MT5 remain common for EA scalpers. Demo the UI under time pressure. Platforms: platforms. Demo: demo.
News spikes punish revenge size. Write a daily loss stop in advance. Leverage multiplies mistakes. FxPro is not SFC-licensed on this desk. Legal: legal Hong Kong. Partner: Open FxPro.
Risk units for HKT evenings
London overlap during HKT evening hours tempts oversized tickets after work. Pre-commit risk units before the session starts. If you miss the open, skip rather than chase. Daily loss stops exist to protect salary accounts, not to be negotiated mid-drawdown.
Funding size still matters: deposits. Entity honesty: legal Hong Kong. Comparisons: vs IC Markets. Partner: Open FxPro. August 2026. 75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Fair-use and abuse lines
Brokers publish fair-use rules for a reason. Latency arbitrage abuse, toxic flow patterns, and terms breaches can end accounts even when "scalping allowed" appears in marketing. Read the conditions for your entity. Confirm live in August 2026.
