CFD vs Forex — Clarifying FxPro Product Names
Retail 'forex trading' on FxPro is usually CFDs on currency pairs — you do not take delivery of euros. Same platform also offers CFDs on gold, indices, shares. Costs: spread, swap (or Islamic overlay), commission on Raw+/cTrader.
75%+ of retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs.
Forex CFD
Bet on EUR/USD direction with margin — contract rolls via swap unless closed intraday or swap-free.
Other CFDs
Gold, US500, oil — different contract sizes and session hours; do not assume FX leverage table applies unchanged.

Marketing says 'forex broker' but your account statement shows CFD — read risk disclosure in onboarding PDF.
