Capital.com rounds out our top five as a modern broker with exceptional market breadth. It ranks fifth for the same reasons as Pepperstone: the free trading signals deal is attached to Base Markets, and — the point that matters most here — Capital.com holds no MAS licence. Singapore residents are onboarded through the group's international entity, Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, licensed by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas under SIA-F245, so the FCA, CySEC and ASIC licences you will see quoted belong to entities that will not hold your account. Founded in 2016, Capital.com gives you access to more than 3,000 markets with zero-commission, spread-only pricing and a low $20 minimum (roughly S$26). Its app is one of the most polished in the industry, and — contrary to a claim that still circulates on comparison sites — it supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView and a REST API alongside its own platform. 79.75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with the international entity. We link to Capital.com editorially and earn no commission from it. You can trade every signal we publish on Capital.com through the paid Telegram subscription — check our full track record first.
The entity behind a Singapore account
Capital.com the group is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the Securities Commission of The Bahamas and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority. A Singapore resident is onboarded through the international arm — Capital Com Online Investments Ltd, SCB licence SIA-F245.
There is no MAS licence anywhere in that list. Client funds are held in segregated accounts and retail clients under the FCA, CySEC and ASIC receive negative-balance protection, but those are entity-level protections that do not travel to a Bahamian account. Verify the entity named in the footer of the exact page you sign up on before you deposit — that is the regulator you are actually getting.
The loss disclosure
Capital.com's international entity publishes that 79.75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. Its UK and German entities publish different figures, because the disclosure is entity-specific — the international number is the one that describes a Singapore-resident account.
Treat it as a regulator-mandated statistic about outcomes, not marketing. It is the base rate you are trading against, and no signal service changes it for you.
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 just $20 (roughly S$26) by card or e-wallet, making it one of the lowest-cost ways onto a large, established platform.
Platforms and market range
Beyond its award-winning native web and mobile app, Capital.com supports MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, TradingView and a REST API for programmatic access. The persistent claim that Capital.com has no MT5 is out of date — it does, and you can execute our entries, take-profits and stop-losses on whichever interface you prefer.
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.
Using our signals with Capital.com
The free-signals package is unlocked only through a funded Base Markets account ($400, roughly S$515, through our link). Capital.com does not carry that offer, and we earn no commission on Capital.com accounts — the link on this page is editorial.
To trade our calls on Capital.com, take the paid subscription through the Telegram bot. Every signal includes a defined entry, take-profit and stop-loss, and the results are published weekly on the performance page.
