CFDs, spread bets and forex are complex, leveraged products and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly — our signals are analyst opinions, not guaranteed profits, and past performance is no guarantee of future results.

At a glance

A slick, FCA- and CySEC-regulated broker with 3,000+ markets, zero-commission spread-only pricing and a $20 minimum — strong for traders who want breadth and a modern app.

Beginners and traders who want a huge market range, a polished app and a low entry cost, and who are happy to run our signals through the paid Telegram subscription.

Capital.com is our number-three pick: a modern, well-regulated broker with exceptional market breadth, and the most beginner-friendly option on our list. It ranks behind XS and Pepperstone for one reason only: our free trading signals offer runs on XS. Founded in 2016 and regulated by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC, Capital.com gives you access to more than 3,000 markets with zero-commission, spread-only pricing and a low $20 minimum. Its award-winning app is one of the most polished in the industry, with clean charts and built-in analysis. Our trading signals are our own service, not provided or endorsed by Capital.com or any other broker, and you can trade every call on Capital.com through the paid Telegram subscription — check our full track record first.

Regulation and safety

Capital.com is regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the UAE's Capital Market Authority (CMA, formerly SCA; Category One licence No. 20200000176, held by Capital Com MENA Securities Trading LLC) and the Securities Commission of The Bahamas (SCB).

Client funds are held in segregated accounts, and retail clients under the FCA, CySEC and ASIC receive negative-balance protection. As always, regulation manages operational risk but not market risk.

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 by card or e-wallet, making it one of the lowest-cost ways onto a fully FCA-regulated platform.

Platforms and market range

Beyond its award-winning native web and mobile app, Capital.com supports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, including Expert Advisors for automated trading, and integrates with TradingView, so you can execute our entries, take-profits and stop-losses on the 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

Our free-signals offer is unlocked by opening and funding an XS account with $400 through our link. Capital.com does not carry that offer. The signals are our own service, not provided or endorsed by Capital.com or any other broker.

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.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — Capital.com is regulated by the FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus) and ASIC (Australia), among others, with segregated client funds and negative-balance protection for retail clients. It is a well-established, legitimate broker. Market risk still applies, so trade responsibly.

Capital.com is legitimate — founded in 2016 and regulated by tier-one authorities including the FCA and ASIC. It is not a scam. The genuine risk is losing money in the market, not the broker — read what trading signals are before trading.

Capital.com has a low minimum deposit of $20 by card or e-wallet. To unlock our free signals, though, the route is a $400 deposit at XS — Capital.com does not carry that offer.

No. The free-signals offer runs on XS: open an account through our link and deposit $400. The signals are our own service, not provided or endorsed by Capital.com, and you can trade all of our calls on Capital.com through the paid Telegram subscription.

Yes, in 12 Arab countries. Capital.com's help centre says its swap-free account is available to clients in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. To switch, close all open trades and email support@capital.com. Capital.com does not publish an admin fee or grace period for the account, so ask for the terms in writing before holding positions for several nights. Unlike Capital.com, Pepperstone's eligible list excludes Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Capital.com says in its help centre that it typically handles withdrawal requests within 24 hours, but it can take up to 5 business days for the money to appear on your card or in your bank account, occasionally longer because of compliance checks. It charges no deposit or withdrawal fees (your bank may). To speed things up: verify your payment method, withdraw to the method you deposited with, send profits to a verified bank account and make sure the account name matches your trading account. Pepperstone publishes its own timings: same day to one working day for cards, up to three working days for bank transfers.

Capital.com runs an Arabic-language website and an Arabic help centre, and you can reach it by email (support@capital.com), phone, live chat and WhatsApp. Its UAE office is in Emirates Towers, Dubai, operated by Capital Com MENA Securities Trading, licensed by the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA). Its contact page does not state 24/7 hours, so confirm support hours directly before relying on them.

Capital.com holds no licence from Saudi Arabia's Capital Market Authority. In the UAE, Capital Com MENA Securities Trading L.L.C. in Dubai is authorised by the UAE Capital Market Authority (CMA) under licence number 20200000176, alongside the group's FCA, CySEC, ASIC and Bahamas SCB licences. Pepperstone, ahead of it in our order, holds a DFSA licence in the DIFC. Always check which entity will open your account before you deposit.

Capital.com offers its award-winning native app plus MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradingView, with zero-commission spreads from around 0.6 pips. Every signal we publish carries an entry, TP and SL you can place on any of them — verified weekly on our performance page.
