About Capital CFDs

Capital CFDs is known to be a low cost broker that's ideal for beginners and more experienced traders in equal measure, and that bears true through our experiences. Capital CFDs is cheap to trade, with competitive spreads available on a wide range of markets, and also lends itself to more profitable CFD trading with a low margin requirement from just 3% in some markets. With a strong, easy to use trading platform, and the level of functionality you can expect from any market leading CFD broker, Capital CFDs looks to have cemented its spot as one of the frontrunners in the CFD brokerage market.

Notable Benefits

Capital CFDs offers low spreads on transactions across a range of markets - a great starting point for any trader pondering which broker to trade with. Low spreads are a key advantage because they mean low trading costs, and because trading costs are marginal (i.e. the more you trade, the more you spend), it really does pay to choose a cost effective option on the brokerage front. The spreads are amongst the most competitive in the market for Capital CFDs transactions, with no further commission or charges applicable (apart from any leverage finance costs).

Going hand in hand with the low cost nature of Capital CFDs is the low margin threshold requirement - that is, the amount of capital traders have to deploy as security against any leveraged trade. This means in practice that with Capital CFDs you can maximise your leverage on each transaction by tying up less capital than might be required elsewhere. This leads to higher yields, but of course also opens up traders to more severe risks, so this is a benefit best used with caution. At any rate, all Capital CFDs traders benefit from free automatic stops, allowing traders to set a limit on their liability for free on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

For traders looking to manage their portfolio in line with their lifestyle, Capital CFDs is one of the most flexible options there is, allowing you to trade their CFD markets around the clock, 7 days a week. That means you can trade your positions outwith the trading day, and be best positioned to take advantage of opening and closing price flurries. The online platform is both easy to use and highly efficient, making trading a pleasure. And for those that demand a degree of control enhanced yet further still, the Capital CFDs trading apps are amongst some o f the most robust on the market.

Incentives & Bonuses

Capital CFDs is reputed to be a low cost broker, and that is definitely the case as far as the major markets are concerned at least, with trading spreads amongst some of the lowest in the industry. Further, Capital CFDs traders benefit from low margin requirements for leveraging CFDs, giving them the flexibility to trade on larger positions with the same amount of capital.
