ACCOUNT OVERVIEW
What Makes Capital.com 1X (UK clients only) Different from FxPro cTrader?
Before comparing the numbers, it is important to understand the purpose of each account and the conditions that may make it suitable for different traders.
Capital.com 1X (UK clients only)
The Capital.com 1X account is available to UK clients only and provides 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 trading commission, the minimum deposit is $10 and orders use Market Execution. The characteristics of 1X apply specifically to this account and should not automatically be extended to other Capital.com accounts.

According to Broker Alarab data, spreads range from 0.2–0.5 pips, commission is $7 per lot, the minimum deposit is $100 and orders use Market Execution. We categorize it for general traders, with a pricing structure that differs clearly from Standard and Raw+.

EXPERT ANALYSIS
Broker Alarab's Assessment of Both Accounts
We review each account independently, highlighting strengths, limitations and the types of traders it may suit, without declaring an unsupported winner.
Capital.com
1X (UK clients only)
FxPro
cTrader
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.
Account Advantages
- ✓Provides unleveraged trading under the 1X account conditions
- ✓No overnight fees under the account conditions
- ✓No separate trading commission
- ✓$10 minimum deposit

- !Account cost cannot be evaluated using the spread alone

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.
