Forex and CFD Trading Services

Our company provides both forex and CFD trading services. Clients in Kenya can trade currency pairs with competitive spreads and leverage options. Additionally, our platform supports indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and shares via CFDs. This dual offering enables diversified portfolio strategies within a single interface.

Execution Quality and Latency

We deliver sub-millisecond execution speeds using our Kenyan data centers. Average trade execution for Kenyan users registers around 13 milliseconds. We employ server-side risk management and liquidity aggregation from top-tier providers to ensure consistent pricing and order filling.

System Requirements and Compatibility

FxPro’s PC platforms require Windows operating systems with DirectX 9.0c or newer. A screen resolution of at least 1024×768 ensures proper display of interface elements. For smooth operation, 4GB RAM is recommended, although 2GB is the minimum. Disk space varies by platform but generally ranges between 200MB and 500MB. A stable internet connection with at least 1Mbps download speed is necessary for low-latency trading.

Hardware Optimization Guidelines

Our applications support dual-monitor setups, allowing multiple chart windows to be displayed concurrently. 4K resolution monitors are compatible, with automatic scaling adjustments. Minimum CPU requirements are an Intel Core i3 or AMD equivalent, with Intel Core i5 or higher recommended for advanced features. Graphics cards must support DirectX 9.0; integrated GPUs suffice but dedicated cards improve rendering speed.

Supported Formats and Limitations

The platforms support standard Windows executable formats (.exe) and require administrator privileges for installation. They incorporate Visual C++ redistributables and .NET Framework components. Limitations include lack of native macOS support; however, Windows emulators can be used. Offline installers are available upon request for limited connectivity scenarios.

Network and Security Protocols

We use SSL encryption for data transmission and require outbound connections on ports 443 and 993. Firewalls must allow these ports to avoid connectivity issues. The platforms automatically reconnect following disconnections, preserving open orders and positions. Two-factor authentication is supported for enhanced account security.
