FxPro account inactivity fees and policies

You opened a trading account on FxPro, placed a few trades, and felt excited. But then life happened—maybe work got intense or you took a long vacation. Months passed, and now you’re logging back in wondering:

Did I get charged just for leaving my account alone?

If you’ve taken a break from trading, you’re not alone. But knowing how FxPro handles inactivity can help you avoid unwanted surprises and feel more confident managing your account long-term.

What Does “Inactive” Actually Mean?

In FxPro’s world, your account becomes inactive when there’s no real activity for six months. But what counts as activity?

• Placing a trade (buy or sell)
• Making a deposit or withdrawal
• Logging into your live account

Simply checking your demo account or browsing markets doesn’t count. Your live account must show real signs of use to stay active.

What Are the Inactivity Fees?

FxPro charges inactivity fees to accounts that go unused for long stretches of time. Here’s how it works:

Inactivity fee timeline:

• Months 0–6: No inactivity fees at all
• After 6 months of no activity: A one-time $15 fee is applied
• Starting month 7 and onward: A $5 monthly fee kicks in

These fees come out of your account balance. If your balance hits zero, no further fees are charged—and your account won’t go negative.

Pro Tip: These fees apply only to live accounts, not demo accounts or closed ones.

What Real Traders Are Saying

Many users discover these fees after returning from a long break:

“I had no idea there were inactivity fees until I came back after 9 months. It wasn’t huge, but it was frustrating.” — FxPro trader on a Reddit forum

“Now I make sure to log in every couple of months, even if I’m not trading. Just to stay in the clear.”

The lesson? Awareness goes a long way—and staying slightly engaged can save you money.

When Should You Close or Pause Your Account?

If you know you’re going to take a long break, it’s smart to prepare. Here’s what to consider:

• Withdraw your funds if you don’t plan to trade soon
• Make a quick trade or deposit to reset the timer
• Set calendar reminders to log in every few months
• Move over to your demo account for no-fee practice
• Contact FxPro support if you’re unsure what to do

Taking small steps now can prevent annoying surprises later.
