At Capital.com, we ensure we are fully transparent about our business model. We disclose all related information and inform users about charges that apply when trading with our platform.
Capital.com trading platform allows users to trade on leveraged funds. This means that you can trade greater amounts than you deposited, i.e. invest on margin.
Example
Let’s say you’ve deposited $1,000 on your Capital.com account. The leverage is 30:1. That means you can trade investments valued up to $30,000.
Be aware that trading on margin magnifies both potential returns and potential losses. Capital.com provides its users with an effective way to manage risk and avoid a negative account balance. With regards to margin calls please refer to our page here.
The size of the potential loss is limited to the funds held by us for and on your behalf, in relation to your trading account. Professional clients could lose more than the sum they have initially invested.
A spread in trading (also known as "bid-ask spread", "bid-offer" or "buy-sell" spread) refers to the difference between the prices for an immediate purchase (ask) and immediate sale (bid) of an asset quoted either in an order book or by a market maker or other provider. When opening and closing a trade, Capital.com users effectively pay a spread equivalent to this difference.
Visit our courses to learn more about Spread. For further details, please visit our Fees & Charges page.
Example
Apple CFDs are quoted at $141.50/$141.70, then the spread equals to 20 cents. If this spread remains at 20 cents, when you close your trade you will effectively pay 20 cents for every share traded as a spread.
Every time you hold a trade open overnight, your position will be subject to an interest fee.
This means, if you close your position within the same day, you don’t pay this Premium.
The Overnight Premium rates are derived based on monthly benchmark interbank rates.
Overnight Premium figures and cut-off times for charging them can be found in the instruments’ details section.
You can find the actual Overnight Premium figures for each instrument on the instrument's page or further details please visit our Fees & Charges page.
