CFD trading without leverage means using only the funds you deposit – there’s no borrowing or margin involved. Unlike leveraged trading, 1X removes the need to manage margin requirements or risk a margin call. It’s a way to speculate on rising markets with a fixed amount, keeping your exposure and capital outlay clear from the start.
Yes, you can. Capital.com’s 1X account gives you the ability to trade CFDs on a long-only basis (meaning you’ll speculate only on prices rising), without using leverage. Whether you’re new to trading or prefer to manage your risk tightly, 1X offers a straightforward, simplified way to access the markets.
No leverage used
Trade using only your deposited funds. There’s no borrowing, no margin, and no amplified gains or losses – just long-only positions on thousands of markets.
No overnight fees
There are no overnight funding charges on 1X positions, helping you manage costs more easily when holding long trades overnight.
See full fee details on our charges and fees page.
Defined exposure limits
Trade up to £20,000 (or currency equivalent) at any one time, with clear limits on how much capital you’re putting into each long-only trade.
Clear, competitive pricing
You pay only the spread – the difference between the buy and sell price. No commission charges apply, just like with all Capital.com accounts.
Straightforward risk protection
Use take-profit and stop-loss orders to help manage your long positions effectively. All accounts include negative balance protection.
