Shares trading is the process of buying and selling company shares in the hope of benefitting from price fluctuations. You can buy and sell shares directly on a stock exchange, or trade over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives like CFDs on their prices.
CFD traders generally aim to capitalise on short-term market moves. They may buy shares they expect to go up, hold them for a short period and then sell once the market rises. That differs from traditional stock investing, which involves buying and holding shares for the long term. As with all trading and investment products, there is always the possibility of loss as well as gain.
Shares are among the most popular markets to trade. They offer a way to gain exposure to a singular company’s performance, and also to global economic health. Trading CFDs on shares gives you the opportunity to go short as well as long, without having to physically buy the underlying asset.
You can also access leverage to amplify your exposure. This can magnify your profits but also your losses, as both will be based on the full value of the position.
We offer CFD trading on over 4,000 shares, giving you exposure to their price movements without having to buy them outright. We also offer extended hours on key US stocks, so you can trade on any price movements around earnings announcements that are typically announced after the market close.
Identify potential entry and exit points with our smart, intuitive charting tools, and set price alerts to notify you of significant market moves. Protect yourself against adverse market moves with our range of risk-management tools, including trailing stops which lock in positive market moves while protecting against losses.*

Everything worked as expected from the 1 day. I didn’t have to search how to use the platform, it’s intuitive. The support chat was there when I had a tiny issue.
I trade every day and Capital is my beloved home. I also create music and you can always feel when something has been created from the heart. Capital has soul!
This application is perfect.. simple, easy to use, run smoothly and fast and it has an accurate graphics.. be careful to use only one credit card and one bank account to prevent any withdrawal problem.. overnight fees and spread variation will be repaid for you by the next month.. I used many application but this is the best one
I’d been paper trading for 2yrs now, went live and this platform is easy for beginners to understand and navigate all important tools to execute all that I learned. Earning now!
The best trading company I've found so far and so easy to use.
User friendly app & interface and good support team. Funds transfer ease & Leverage is an advantage but crypto is highly risky be responsible of your loss limits and risks appetite.
