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 on their prices.
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 on shares gives you the opportunity to go short as well as long, without having to physically buy the underlying.
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.

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
