　　 Account Types

　　

✅Pros	❌Cons

100%Negative Balance Protection

　　Clients of Capital.com can choose from three different types of CFD trading accounts, all of which offer the same basic features. For accounts that demand a deposit of at least 3000 USD, the most significant difference is apparent (Plus and Premier accounts).

　　Although there is no minimum deposit required to register an account, you need to deposit at least 20 USD to begin trading.

　　The Standard Account- There is no minimum deposit for this account type, but it is recommended that you deposit at least 20 USD to get started, leverage up to 1:30, spreads from 0.6 pips.

　　The Plus Account - With a minimum deposit of $3000 USD, a maximum leverage of 1:30, and spreads starting at 0.6 pips, this account type is the most popular choice among traders.

　　The Premiere Account- This account type is suitable for professional traders who can accept its minimum deposit requirement of 10,000 USD, leverage up to 1:30 and spreads from 0.6 pips.

　　There are no Islamic accounts available at Capital.com. Retail accounts are protected from negative balances to the fullest extent possible, but are limited to 1:30 leverage at the most. However, experienced traders' negative balances are only protected up to a ratio of 1:50, meaning they could lose more than their initial deposits.

　　 Spreads, Commissions and Fees

　　

✅Pros	❌Cons
Low forex fee	High stock index fee
Commission-free trading environment	Overnight fees
No inactivity Fee

　　Capital.com does not charge a commission for trading and has tight spreads, therefore one has to wonder how they make money.

　　Profiting on the spread on a quoted price is standard practice for CFD brokers. To put it another way, the spread (bid-ask) is the difference between what a buyer is willing to pay and what a seller is willing to accept.

　　Spreads- A typical spread on the Capital.com platform is 0.6 pips, but the exact value will vary based on the traded asset.

　　CFD Trading- The spread and non-trading expenses, such as overnight charges and currency conversion, must be paid even if CFD trading is commission-free. CFD is issued by a financial institution and is a time-bound contract, the trading platform imposes an overnight charge, which is essentially an interest fee.

　　Non-Trading Fees- All such brokers incur overnight interest fees when they keep open positions on margin for their clients. Capital.com charges less for this part. For every hour that a position remains available after the Overnight Funding Time, a fee is calculated. Each instrument has its own unique set of fees.

　　In the case of Capital.com, the fee is based on leverage rather than the total out
