Capixal

Capixal is a very modest broker that does most things in a very simple and typical way. The company does not stand out above the rest by offering revolutionary services. No, it a player in the industry, a small but significant mover of the FX industry. And because of this, we commend it.

Capixal is the trading name of IFC Investments Cyprus Ltd, which is a Cypriot Investment Firm. As such it is pedantically regulated by Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), an agency that makes sure that all necessary rules are followed in order to ensure a fair and safe market participation by both brokers and investors. Because it is licensed by CySEC, Capixal is part of the Investors Compensation Fund allowing for a compensation of up to €20 000 to each user that has been a victim because of a potential bankruptcy on the broker's side.

The CySEC license means that users are safe to trade with the broker, and are guaranteed to be treated very professionally and formally. Moreover, all financial transactions are safe and sound.

Capixal allows users to trade with crypto, commodities, forex currency pairs, indexes, and stocks; a large and versatile portfolio. The retail leverage has been capped at 1:30 by ESMA, while the 1:200 leverage is available to Pro users only but in order to become a Pro one must first complete a set of requirements that are very daunting. The EUR/USD spread is said to be as low as 2 pips, which in our book is not the best cost of trade. In fact, many brokers exist out there with much lower spreads.

CAPIXAL LOGIN

The main attraction here is, we think, a web trader. This software is been said to include 60+ analytical tools and customizable notifications, a trading history tracking tool, customizable price alerts, stop loss/take profit tool, 1-click trading options, and other great features.

The broker has also included the MT4 as well, on top of a mobile version of it as well. The MT4 is by far superior to any web trader, although it may be less accessible to many in terms of how difficult certain sides to it may seem at first. But once you get an idea of how it functions, you will have a much more productive time with it than on any other platform.

CAPIXAL MINIMUM DEPOIT

All deposits will be treated with care and security, as guaranteed by CySEC.

Clients can invest in their accounts by means of credit and debit cards. The website is vague on payment details, and so we believe that perhaps there are more payment methods undisclosed to unregistered users.

Unfortunately, there are no other payment details concerning deposits. The most notable lack is the missing minimum deposit requirement which we think is crucial for any broker to have it written right at the beginning of the home page.

CAPIXAL WITHDRAWAL TIME AND FEES

With CySEC-regulated brokers, all withdrawals are treated with fairness and respect.

With that said, we could not find any withdrawal information anywhere. This is the biggest letdown of the broker.

It seems that the only way for anyone to get a sense of the withdrawal details is to open an account, which we recommend doing, but the issue remains that the site remains uninformative for users interested specifically in withdrawal details. For many clients, it's these conditions that make it or break it for them.

BOTTOM LINE

Capixal is stable and worthy of its regulation broker. However, for those of you that are searching for something more advanced or more technical, we think that Capixal will not scratch that itch. However, if you are a casual trader, we think this may just be the broker for you!
