Capital Trading FX has been flagged by Financial Conduct Authority for "Registered/Licensed entity impersonators". This company appears in our regulatory warnings database. Always verify with official regulatory sources before investing or doing business with this firm.
Tried to withdraw my funds from Capital Trading FX and was told I needed to pay a "withdrawal tax" of 20%. This is a red flag. No legitimate broker charges withdrawal taxes. When I refused, they became aggressive and eventually stopped all communication. My entire investment is gone.
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
After for a couple of months now with Capital Trading FX I requested to close my account and withdraw. They said I had to complete a 30-day cooling-off period. Then they said there was a minimum holding period for my last deposit. They make it as hard as possible to leave.
Pros: Quick verification|No hidden fees|Educational resources|Detailed reporting
Cons: No integrated tax optimization|Mobile app could be improved
Capital Trading FX had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Excellent charting|Instant funding
Cons: No integrated tax optimization
I was about to invest with Capital Trading FX but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Conduct Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Unauthorized firm|Found in IOSCO warnings database
I looked into Capital Trading FX and found they appear in the regulatory warnings database. Financial Conduct Authority has issued a notice about this firm. Whether this is a misunderstanding or a serious concern, the fact remains that proper due diligence is essential. Always verify the regulatory status of any company before investing your hard-earned money.
Pros: Information is publicly available for verification
Cons: Appears in regulatory warnings database|Uncertain regulatory status
The spread at Capital Trading FX is not what they advertise. During volatile markets it widens so much that you lose before the trade even starts. I found them from a blog post comparing services and initially thought the platform was good - until I started trading seriously.
Pros: Social trading features|Two-factor authentication|Detailed reporting
Cons: No integrated tax optimization
Capital Trading FX advertises low fees but once you dig into the fine print, there are numerous charges that add up quickly. Inactivity fees, withdrawal fees, currency conversion fees - it all eats into your returns. I wish I had read the terms more carefully.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Responsive team|Detailed reporting
Cons: Research section could be deeper|Wait times can be long during peak hours
Capital Trading FX changed their fee structure with one month notice. What was a flat fee became a percentage. For my account size it meant a huge increase. When I objected they said I could leave. So I am leaving and writing this review.
Pros: Good mobile app|Demo account available|Clean UI|Easy to use platform
Cons: Live chat only during business hours
I have been trying to close my account with Capital Trading FX for weeks now and they keep giving me the runaround. First it was a form to fill out, then identity verification again, then a mandatory phone call that never gets scheduled. They make leaving impossible.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Dedicated account manager|Reliable uptime
Cons: Some tools only available on higher tiers|No fractional shares
I had a dispute with Capital Trading FX and went to their complaints process. They have an internal team that just defends the company. Then they said I could go to an ombudsman - but the ombudsman they use is industry-funded and rarely rules for the client. The system is rigged.
Pros: Portfolio tracking tools|Full transparency|Fast support response|Economic calendar
Cons: Cannot customize dashboard fully
