Account Registration and Verification for Nigerian Traders
Opening an account with us takes less than five minutes. The entire process is digital. You only need a stable internet connection and a valid government ID. Follow the steps below to get started. Your profile is created instantly after submission.
Registration Steps
- Visit the FxPro website or download our mobile app from the official store.
- Click “Sign Up” and enter your full name, email, phone number, date of birth, and occupation.
- Set a strong password with at least eight characters, one number, and one symbol.
- Choose NGN as your account currency to avoid conversion fees on deposits and withdrawals.
- Submit the form and proceed to identity verification within the same session.
Identity Verification (KYC)
Verification is mandatory before you can deposit or trade. You must upload a clear photo of your passport, national ID, or driver’s license. A recent utility bill or bank statement from the last six months is also required. Proof of address must match the name on your account. The automated system usually verifies documents within minutes.
To upload documents, log into FxPro Direct on the app or web portal. Use the in-app camera or upload scanned images directly from your device. After approval, you unlock all deposit methods and full trading access. You can then fund your NGN account and place your first trade. This process is designed to be secure and fast.
Creating a Naira (NGN) Trading Account
We designed NGN accounts specifically for Nigerian clients. This option eliminates currency conversion costs entirely. Your profit and loss display in Naira. To open one, log into your FxPro app or web portal. Go to the “Accounts” section and tap “Open New Account”.
Select the Standard account type, which supports NGN as the base currency. Choose NGN from the currency dropdown menu. Set your leverage level (1:100 is a good start for lower risk). Confirm the setup and the account appears in your portfolio within seconds. After creation, you can fund it via Nigerian bank transfer.
All open positions display in NGN. Withdrawals also process in Naira when you use the same funding method. This keeps your trading experience simple and cost-effective. No extra FX spreads eat into your capital.
Choosing the Right Trading Platform
We offer four platforms, each built for different trading styles. Nigerian traders can use any of them on desktop, web, or mobile. Each platform supports real-time quotes and one-click execution. Your login credentials work across all devices. Below is a detailed look at each option.

MT4 is the industry standard for forex and CFD trading. It supports Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated strategies. You get 30+ built-in indicators and advanced charting tools. Use it for backtesting your trading algorithms. Available on Windows, Mac, and mobile devices.

Navigating the FxPro Platform Interface
Once you log in, the interface splits into key areas. Each area serves a specific function. Learning them speeds up your workflow. Here is a breakdown of the main sections.
- Market Watch: Lists all tradable instruments with real-time bid and ask prices. Right-click any instrument to add it to a chart.
- Chart Window: Use TradingView or native charts. Drag indicators from the panel. Change timeframes using the top toolbar buttons.
- Trade Tab: Shows open positions, pending orders, and account history. Modify SL or TP by double-clicking a trade row.
- Terminal: Displays margin, equity, balance, and margin level percentage. Also shows alerts and email notifications.
- Account Tab: Manage settings, change leverage, and access FxPro Direct for deposits and withdrawals.
You can switch between platforms using the same login credentials. Our servers sync your watchlist and saved templates across devices. This makes it easy to move from desktop to mobile without losing your setup.
Placing Your First Trade (Buy/Sell, SL/TP)
We explain the process using the mobile app, which is most common for Nigerian traders. First, select an instrument from the watchlist. Tap “Buy” if you expect the price to rise or “Sell” if you expect a drop. Set your volume in lots.
For a NGN account, 0.01 lots equal about 1,000 units of the base currency. Use the position size calculator to determine your exact risk. Set a Stop Loss (SL) to limit potential losses. Set a Take Profit (TP) to lock in gains automatically. Review the order summary and confirm.
The trade appears in your open positions list instantly. You can monitor it in real time. The platform updates P/L as the market moves. This gives you full control over every entry and exit.
Adjusting SL/TP After Opening
You can modify stop loss and take profit directly on the chart. Drag the horizontal lines to your desired price level. Alternatively, open the trade details and enter new values manually. Partial close is also available for lot size adjustments. This flexibility helps you manage risk as the trade develops.
Leverage and Lot Size Guidelines
Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. We recommend using lower leverage for beginners. Start with 1:50 or 1:100 on a NGN account. Always risk no more than 1–2% of your account per trade. For a 100,000 NGN account, that equals a maximum loss of 2,000 NGN per trade.
Deposits and Withdrawals in Nigeria
We support local payment methods to make funding simple. Processing times are fast and fees are transparent. Nigerian Bank Transfer works directly with your local bank. Crypto deposits in USDT are also accepted. Cards (Visa/Mastercard) work for USD accounts.
How to Deposit
- Log into the FxPro app or web portal and navigate to Wallet / Funds.
- Tap Deposit and select Nigerian Bank Transfer as your method.
- Copy our local account details and reference number provided by the platform.
- Transfer the amount using your mobile banking or internet banking app.
- Funds appear in your trading account within minutes after confirmation.
How to Withdraw
Withdrawals use the same method as deposits whenever possible. Go to the Withdraw section and choose bank transfer. Enter the amount in NGN and confirm the request. Processing takes 1–3 business days depending on your bank. No extra fees are applied by our side.
| Method | Currency | Min Deposit | Max Deposit | Fees | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nigerian Bank Transfer | NGN | 1,000 NGN | 5,000,000 NGN | None | Instant to 1 hr |

Risk Management and Trading Tips for Beginners
We provide several tools to help you trade responsibly. Negative Balance Protection ensures you never owe us money. Real-time margin monitoring shows your margin level percentage. If it falls below 50%, positions are automatically closed. Custom loss limits let you set daily or weekly caps.
The Position Size Calculator helps you determine the correct lot size. Enter your account size, risk percentage, and stop loss distance. The tool calculates the ideal volume instantly. This prevents over-leveraging and protects your capital.
