FXPro was founded in 2006 and the broker is still headquartered in Cyprus. It is regulated by the competent supervisory authority, among others, but the British FCA also carries out regular checks. In addition to regulation, customers also benefit from deposit protection of up to 20,000 euros. ActivTrades was founded in Switzerland in 2001 and is one of the leading brokers for trading currencies and CFDs on indices, stocks, commodities and crypto currencies using the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms as well as its own ActivTrader. In 2005, ActivTrades moved its headquarters to the financial metropolis of London, where it has since been supervised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
