The term ‘forex’ is short for foreign exchange. Forex trading is the process of buying and selling international currencies, with the objective of making a profit from fluctuations in the exchange rates between them.
So you might trade the euro against the US dollar (EUR/USD), for example. Buying the EUR/USD pair means that you are effectively speculating on the euro to increase in price against the dollar. Most currency pairs are priced to the fourth decimal, so a single point (pip) of movement relates to the fourth decimal place.
The FX market is the largest in the world, by global trading volume. It’s open 24/5 and extremely liquid, so you can normally enter and exit trades whenever you want to. The high liquidity also means that spreads tend to be tighter than some less-liquid asset classes, so the underlying market won’t have to move too far in a positive direction before your trade is in profit.
While movements in the currency market can be small - less than 1% average daily movement under normal trading conditions - the fact that they are traded to the fourth decimal creates a very fertile trading environment. Leverage offered by trading providers can also amplify retail traders’ exposure by up to up to 30:1 for major currency pair for Retail Clients, and up to 300:1 for Wholesale accounts. This means that small moves in the underlying can create large profits or losses.

Very trustworthy and affordable for any size trades
It is very easy to connect with TradingView but the web interface is also great.
Easy to use and great support. Been using it for 2 years already and still happy
Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.
Best broker!! they call you to see if you need any help. The app is good and nice better than the rest
Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it
This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.
-Nice -Easy to use - Beautiful Interface
I think I'm new in this trading platform, but I find it affordable and most reliable. To be honest I'm not fully experienced trader, but with very limited knowledge of trading I try learn as much as I can by trying out different platforms see if can make money. My interests growing in you platform, l like news updates you also short videos on YouTube, other propaganda, poster and many more. I will see what happens in the coming months. Thanks capital team.
Gives you options to start learning how too do it as it gives you a demo option to learn from your mistakes
Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
From what I'm seeing it's cool Mixing it with trading view it's perfect... I didn't give it 5 star yet cos I still need to use it for some time
