Capex is a forex broker with offices in South Africa and Cyprus, fully regulated by the South African Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC). In addition, the broker also has local customer support teams in Romania and Spain.
As always, the Cyprus-based entity works in compliance with regulations from the EU’s financial regulator ESMA, and is meant for clients living in EU/EEA countries. For these traders, leverage is limited to 1:30 on the most liquid assets. Meanwhile, the South Africa-based entity is open for clients from all other countries (except the US, Canada, Japan, and a few smaller countries), and offers leverage of up to 1:300 on the same assets.
As far as trading instruments goes, Capex boasts a wide selection that ranges from stocks to forex, cryptocurrency, and bonds. Most notably, this includes a selection of stocks from more than 2,000 companies listed in the USA, Australia, UK, EU, Hong Kong, and South Africa. Further, the broker also has a decent selection of exchange traded funds (ETFs), with more than 40 such instruments available for trading.
All assets offered by Capex are available only as CFDs (contracts-for-difference), and comes with varying amounts of leverage.
In terms of trading platforms, Capex offers its own web-based trading platform known as the Capex Webtrader. This is a fairly advanced platform with all the features a trader would normally need, including a large selection of technical trading indicators, several different chart types, and a sentiment tool that shows what other traders on the platform are trading. The charts on the webtrader platform are also incredibly easy to use, and the overall feeling of the platform is that it is very much designed with the user in mind.
In addition to their own web platform, Capex also offers MetaTrader 5 (MT5), which is already a very popular trading platform among independent traders. Moreover, they offer a web-based version of platform that can be used in any browser. Released in 2010, MT5 succeeded MT4, and has quickly gained a sizable share of the market.
The broker further offers three different types of trading accounts called Essential, Original, and Signature, with minimum deposits of USD 1,000, 5,000, and 25,000, respectively. The only difference between these three account types that is worth paying attention to is the “special trading conditions” that the broker says is available for the Original and Signature accounts. What this means, however, is not specified by the broker.
Important to note about Capex is that this is a so-called dealing desk (also known as market maker) broker that matches orders internally. This means that the broker operates with its own fixed spreads on most trading instruments, but unfortunately these spreads are not very low. At the time of this review, the fixed spread for the popular EUR/USD pair was set to 1.8 pips, which in our view is a bit high. A benefit with this type of trading, however, is that all costs are already included in the spread without any commissions being charged on top.
All trading accounts can be funded through either bank wire transfer, credit & debit cards, as well as the e-wallet platforms Skrill, Neteller, Trustly, and SafeCharge. Capex does not charge any fees for deposits, but charges a fee of USD 30 per month for accounts that have been inactive for 90 days or more.
Clients and others are welcome to contact Capex’s customer support team via phone, email, or live chat. Phone numbers are provided both to customer support and directly to the dealing desk for all the locations where the broker has a presence; Cyprus, Romania, Spain, and South Africa.
In conclusion, we consider Capex to be a great broker for anyone looking to trade leveraged stock CFDs in particular. With up to 1:300 leverage outside of the EU, this should be an attractive offer for many high leverage traders. We also believe many traders will appreciate that the broker uses the familiar MT5 platform, which makes it easy to transition from any other broker to Capex.
Capex is all about variety, be it tools for traders, markets or account types. Since I did not see this in other Capex reviews, let me add this: I like to watch the actual market movements and how they highlight top-performing assets, just like “losers” among trading assets.
I've opted for the most popular, classic account, and the set of tools on it is suitable for me.
I got a recommendation to open an account with Capex from an acquaintance, and I went for the Essential account type. In general, it is fine... what I found moost useful is the daily insights and expert analyses.
This platform's user interface is clear and intuitive, making navigation straightforward. Withdrawal speed and customer service are excellent, adding to the overall positive experience :)
With this broker, I use the convenient way for me to deposit and withdraw money. I have a special debit card and a special bank account. This card has favorable conditions for money transfers and my bank processes transactions quickly. By the way, Capex also works fast. Both deposits and withdrawals are very swift. I use a mastercard bank card and this broker works perfectly with it. But I can't say much about other methods of money transactions because I haven't used them.
Capex is a broker that can boast providing the best educational materials for traders, because the quality of lessons are on a high level. Absorbing information here was really easy. I think their trading academy should be appreciated more among traders. I noticed that traders mostly talk about trading conditions or platforms, while education is one of the most important things to be successful in the trading area. I like how much market analysis they publish and thanks to that I'm kept up to date with the latest news about the world. In general, I can say I'm satisfied with the materials of their academy.
I was surprised to see that they offer only 1 trading platform, and it is their custom trading app. However, if you try it, as I did a month ago, I need to warn you... the app is highly addictive lol. I like that it is fully customizable, and you can literally make its interface look like you wish. Their $1000 initial depo requirement is a bit high, but totally worth it for what you receive.
Capex is a solid choice for traders focused on trading stock. They have one of the widest ranges of tradable instruments and the stocks asset category is truly vast. I know how hard it is to spot a trading opportunity, a company that you expect to hit the moon but only to find out that this company is not available for trading with your broker. While it is always possible for some companies to be not available, with the market range of Capex the possibility is lower compared to any other broker.
I like the combination of trading conditions and tools at this broker.
Guys, I definitely belong to the camp of fans of this broker. I like the quality of tools and services. And I also think that this broker has really well-balanced trading conditions.
When I was looking for a broker, I had no idea what kind of trading conditions I needed. And when I saw the conditions at Capex, I realized that this is exactly what I was looking for.
I like this broker and the variety of services that they provide to customers is really huge. By the way, when I made my first deposit I got a 40% bonus and it is thoughtful of them. I was able to trade more confidently with a larger capital thanks to Capex. They also have their proprietary trading platform and it is convenient to use and I sorted out pretty quickly how everything works. I think I am going to cooperate with them for a long time.
Capex is a good broker. I have been using it for some time now and I have to say that they are very solid. There are many tools that you can use in your trading, such as the Trading Central, and the Trading View integrations. For advanced analysis and charting capabilities, the Trading View platform is industry leading. As for Trading Central, you will find all of the insights and ideas you need. Anyway, Capex is a great broker and there are a lot of helpful tools.
I'm gonna be completely honest with you but I haven't worked with a forex broker that has this amount of instruments available. And I'm not just talking about the number of trading instruments, it's also about the analytical and trading tools. I think it's the selling point of Capex. I mean to trade US treasury bonds and at the same time Ishares ETFs, what's not to like? Even though those are still CFDs and not the real assets. But at the end of the day they still comply to all the rules as the real bonds do. For instance, I made some money on bonds when the interest rates went up because we know that hiking the interest rates causes the drop in the price of the bonds.
All in all Capex is a worthy partner for those who understand something about the markets.
One of the best brokers I've ever traded with in my career as a trader. They provide a wide range of financial instruments for trading, more than 2,100+ of them.
It's one of the most reliable brokers in the world. It has four licenses from the financial regulators of the FSA, CYSEC, FSCA, and ADGM, which is a very significant sign of the broker's authority. I can safely entrust the funds to this company.
Various financial payment systems are available for deposits and withdrawals. It's also cool that you can choose which country you are from and there will be ways to make withdrawals.
And anyway, I like what I got after I opened trading account with this company. Trading conditions are quite favorable.
Definitely a hidden gem and I don't know where it has been bruv. Over 2,100 financial instruments, including forex, stocks, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. This vast selection offers great opportunities for portfolio diversification. Webtrader and MT5 are both robust and offer a variety of features. Webtrader is especially convenient and it's equipped with around 80 technical indicators for detailed market analysis and risk management tools. It's awesome.
I just have to complete this review and write about the set of informative materials, lessons and other educational things I got from this broker.
CAPEX Academy. There I got access to an assortment of courses on various topics absolutely free of charge. For example, I have already studied Lesson 20: How to Invest Money? and some others. I especially like the fact that their lessons are not only for beginners. And they also have a lot of topics and sections for gaining knowledge. It seems like I can't describe it all in a brief way. So if you are interested, you know where to look.
A lot of appealing tools and features. Capex gives you pretty much everything possibly needed for your trading. That much I can vouch for.
Capex has truly exceeded my expectations with its comprehensive range of trading services. I've been particularly impressed by their commitment to providing a detailed daily analysis of market trends, enabling me to make informed decisions and serve as trading ideas.
I liked how scrupulously the broker treated each tool at the traders' disposal to work perfectly. The impression is made of the nuances. And then each nuance forms a general impression. And my overall impression of this company is positive.
For me it's all about their support team. I just like a good customer service. 5 stars!
The brocker's good to trade minors in the long-term. With 1:30-1:20 leverage, you can survive any pullback and hold more trades on pairs moving synchronically, if you have enough margin.
Nice website of the company even for non-clients. I usually visit it to look through analytics and find some inspiration for trading. Of course as a broker's client you get extra tools for analysis, like Hedge funds sentiments or others. But the market analysis or market news sections of the broker give you enough food for thoughts.
Since I started trading here my results began to show positive dynamics. They say a lot depends on broker's conditions and I claim it. Conditions are nice and trading platform runs fast. Varity of assets to choose desirable one. Great.
Capex not only has the solid list of ETFs, but also the spreads on this instrument are very narrow as far as I can see. Great way to diversify my protfolio!
I liked CAPEX because broker's services are stable and without errors. Of course, someone may not like some trading conditions. But I am sure the most important thing for trading is that all services work perfectly.
