Broker Alarab's Assessment

The Capital.com 1X account is a specialized UK option for clients seeking unleveraged trading without overnight fees under the account conditions. Spreads range from 0.6–1.3 pips with a 0.7-pip average, there is no separate commission and the minimum deposit is $10. The absence of overnight fees on 1X should not be confused with the separate Swap-Free account and its eligibility conditions.

Broker Alarab's Assessment

We see FxPro cTrader as an account that should be evaluated through both cTrader platform preference and its tighter-spread, commission-based pricing. The 0.2–0.5 pip range and $7-per-lot commission make comparison with Raw+ particularly relevant, especially because their minimum deposits match. Platform preference and effective total cost are therefore the key considerations.

  • ✓Provides unleveraged trading under the 1X account conditions
  • ✓No overnight fees under the account conditions
  • ✓No separate trading commission

  • !No overnight fees do not mean that 1X is the Islamic account
  • !No separate commission does not remove spread costs

  • !Account cost cannot be evaluated using the spread alone
  • !Spread range is wider than Raw+ in our data despite having the same commission
  • !May be less relevant to traders who do not specifically value cTrader

Detailed Account Analysis

What Is the Capital.com 1X Account?

1X is a UK-specific account focused on unleveraged trading without overnight fees under the account conditions. These characteristics distinguish it from the general CFD account and Spread Betting, so it should be evaluated independently rather than applying its conditions to other accounts.

Does the Capital.com 1X Account Have Overnight Fees?

There are no overnight fees under the 1X account conditions. However, this does not mean that 1X is the Islamic account or the same as the Swap-Free option. Swap-Free is a separate account option with its own eligibility conditions, so the two descriptions should not be treated as interchangeable.

What Are the Capital.com 1X Spread and Commission?

Spreads range from 0.6–1.3 pips with a 0.7-pip average, there is no separate trading commission and the minimum deposit is $10. Despite the absence of a separate commission, the spread remains part of the cost of trading.

Detailed Account Analysis

FxPro cTrader vs Raw+: What Is the Cost Difference?

According to Broker Alarab data, both accounts carry a $7-per-lot commission, a $100 minimum deposit and Market Execution. The clear difference is the spread range: cTrader is listed at 0.2–0.5 pips, while Raw+ is listed at 0.0–0.3 pips. Commission therefore does not decide the comparison. Traders need to consider the actual spread alongside their preference for cTrader and estimate costs using expected lot size and transaction frequency.

How Much Does the FxPro cTrader Account Cost?

FxPro cTrader pricing in Broker Alarab data contains two major components that should be evaluated together: a 0.2–0.5 pip spread range and a $7-per-lot commission. Looking only at the spread can therefore provide an incomplete view of transaction cost. As trading volume or frequency increases, cumulative commission becomes more important, while the spread continues to affect each entry and exit.

FxPro cTrader vs Standard: Which Pricing Model Should You Choose?

Standard uses 1.2–1.5 pip spreads without a separate commission in our data, while cTrader uses 0.2–0.5 pips with a $7-per-lot commission. Both start at $100 and use Market Execution. Standard provides simpler pricing based more heavily on the spread, while cTrader reduces the spread range in exchange for commission. Traders who prefer cTrader should balance platform choice against the total cost generated by their trading activity.

Important Points About the Capital.com 1X Account

The account is available to UK clients only

1X availability is restricted to the UK market and the page should not be treated as confirmation that the account is available in other countries.

Unleveraged trading

This is one of the core characteristics of the 1X account and applies specifically to this account rather than every Capital.com account.

No overnight fees does not mean it is an Islamic account

1X and the Swap-Free option are separate accounts, so the absence of overnight fees should not be confused with Islamic-account classification.

Important details about the FxPro cTrader account

cTrader commission is listed at $7 per lot in our data

Broker Alarab data lists a $7-per-lot commission. This commission should be considered alongside the spread when evaluating effective account costs.

The spread range in our data is 0.2–0.5 pips

The range is tighter than Standard but wider than Raw+ in our data, making direct account comparison important before choosing.

Choosing cTrader is not only about trading cost

The account is associated with the cTrader option, so platform preference can be part of the decision alongside spread, commission and trading volume.

How to Choose the Right Trading Account

Numbers alone are not enough. Account suitability depends on your trading strategy, capital, financial instruments and the conditions applicable to you.

01

Compare Spreads and Commissions Together

The recorded spread for Capital.com 1X (UK clients only) is 0.6 - 1.3, while FxPro cTrader shows 0.2 – 0.5. Evaluating overall trading costs also requires checking commission rates, pricing units, instruments and position sizes.
