Capital.com is our second-ranked broker, a modern broker with exceptional market breadth — more than 3,000 instruments, zero-commission spread-only pricing, and one of the more polished apps in the industry. It also supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView and API access, which matters if you intend to drive orders programmatically; any page claiming it lacks MT5 is out of date. The Hong Kong position is the same as Pepperstone's: a Hong Kong resident is onboarded by Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, registered in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and licensed by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas under SIA-F245. The group's FCA, CySEC and ASIC licences belong to entities that will not hold your account, and there is no licence from Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission. The international entity publishes that 79.75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. It ranks second behind Pepperstone: it is the more beginner-friendly of the two, with a $20 minimum and a huge market range, while Pepperstone leads on raw execution and platform choice.

Regulation — which entity actually holds your money
Capital Com Online Investments Ltd (company 209236B) is registered in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas and authorised by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas under licence SIA-F245. That is the entity that onboards Hong Kong residents.
Elsewhere the group is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. Client funds are held in segregated accounts, and retail clients of the FCA, CySEC and ASIC entities receive negative-balance protection — but those are not the entity serving Hong Kong.
There is no SFC licence. A Hong Kong resident's account sits outside SFC supervision, the SFC complaint route and Hong Kong's Investor Compensation Fund. The international entity publishes that 79.75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider; the UK entity publishes 65% and the German entity 74%, which is exactly why you should read the figure from the page your sign-up link lands on rather than from any comparison table, ours included.
Accounts, spreads and costs
Capital.com uses simple, zero-commission pricing: your cost is built into the spread, which starts around 0.6 pips on major FX pairs and varies with market conditions. There are no separate commission charges on standard retail accounts.
The minimum deposit is $20 (roughly HK$156) by card or e-wallet, one of the lowest entry points among the brokers we cover. Confirm the funding currency and conversion cost for a Hong Kong card or bank transfer before you fund.
Platforms and market range
Beyond its native web and mobile app, Capital.com supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView, and offers API access — so you can execute our entries, take-profits and stop-losses on the interface you prefer, or automate them. Claims that Capital.com does not offer MT5 are a stale fossil that still circulates on review sites; it does.
With more than 3,000 instruments — forex, thousands of shares, indices, commodities, crypto and thematic baskets — it offers far more breadth than a signals-only trader strictly needs, but it means you never outgrow the platform.
