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.
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.
