Why choose Capital.com

If you’re flirting with the idea of CFD trading, Capital.com is an excellent place to start. I was simply blown away by the overall user experience, from a smooth account opening process to the sleek and intuitive trading interface on both desktop and mobile; not to mention an impressive CFD product selection. However, investors should probably look elsewhere, as real stocks or ETFs are not available at Capital.com.

Disclaimer: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 84.01% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading spread bets and CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how spread bets and CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

“I often recommend Capital.com to friends who are just taking their first steps in trading. Beginner traders can learn a lot using Capital.com’s platforms, and they won’t have problems navigating the account application process. It’s a bit of a shame that only CFDs are available, and I also wished I could hold accounts in multiple currencies at the same time.”
