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.

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)

IC Markets
Raw Pro+
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 IC Markets Raw Pro+ as particularly relevant to high-volume traders because our data combines a 0.0–0.1 pip spread range with a $1-per-lot commission. Its significance is not simply the Raw label but the lower commission compared with Raw Pro and Raw Spread. As total traded lots increase, calculating cumulative cost differences becomes increasingly important.
Account Advantages
- ✓Provides unleveraged trading under the 1X account conditions
- ✓No overnight fees under the account conditions
- ✓No separate trading commission
- ✓$10 minimum deposit
- ✓Average spread of 0.7 pips
Account Advantages
- ✓Spreads range from 0.0–0.1 pips according to Broker Alarab data
- ✓Commission is $1 per lot according to our data
- ✓Lowest listed commission among the five IC Markets accounts in our table
- ✓Categorized for high-volume traders
- ✓Combines a tight spread range with lower commission than Raw Pro and Raw Spread
Disadvantages and Considerations
- !The account is available to UK clients only
- !1X characteristics do not automatically apply to other Capital.com accounts
- !No overnight fees do not mean that 1X is the Islamic account
- !No separate commission does not remove spread costs
Disadvantages and Considerations
- !Carries a separate per-lot commission despite being lower than the other Raw accounts
- !A spread starting at 0.0 does not mean zero trading cost
- !The benefit of lower commission becomes more meaningful as trading volume increases and may not matter equally to every user
- !Traders should compare actual costs with Raw Pro and Raw Spread rather than relying on the Pro+ label
Who Is This Account Suitable For?

Who Is This Account Suitable For?
- •High-volume traders for whom cumulative commission becomes an important cost factor

- •Users who prefer tight-spread pricing with a separate commission instead of the Standard model
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
IC Markets Raw Pro+ vs Raw Pro: What Is the Real Difference?
According to Broker Alarab data, both accounts share a 0.0–0.1 pip spread range, a $200 minimum deposit and Market Execution. The clear difference in our table is commission: Raw Pro+ is listed at $1 per lot compared with $1.5 per lot on Raw Pro. That difference may appear modest on a small trade but becomes increasingly meaningful as total traded lots rise. The comparison should therefore focus on volume and cumulative cost rather than spread alone.
Is IC Markets Raw Pro+ Suitable for High-Volume Trading?
Broker Alarab categorizes the account for high-volume traders, making its $1-per-lot commission particularly relevant to this use case. When a trader executes a large number of lots, commission repeats with the volume traded and relatively small per-lot differences can accumulate. Our data also lists a 0.0–0.1 pip spread range. The useful approach is to calculate total costs at expected volume rather than assuming that the lowest commission automatically makes it the best account for every trader.
Raw Pro+ vs Raw Spread: How Do the Costs Differ?
The difference in our data goes beyond the account names. Raw Pro+ uses 0.0–0.1 pip spreads with a $1-per-lot commission, while Raw Spread uses 0.0–0.3 pips with a $7-per-lot commission. Both carry a $200 minimum deposit in our table. Raw Pro+ therefore becomes particularly interesting at higher trading volumes, but the final comparison should still be based on effective trading cost and trading style rather than isolated figures.
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 IC Markets Raw Pro+ account
Raw Pro+ commission is listed at $1 per lot in our data
This page uses current Broker Alarab account data, which lists a $1-per-lot commission. Commission should be combined with the spread effect when calculating effective trading cost.
The 0.0–0.1 pip range is not the complete cost
Even with a tight spread range, the account carries a separate per-lot commission. A spread that can reach 0.0 should therefore not be interpreted as cost-free trading.
Trading volume is central to evaluating Raw Pro+
We categorize the account for high-volume traders. As total traded lots increase, differences between Raw Pro+ commission and the commissions on other Raw accounts become more meaningful.
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.
Compare Spreads and Commissions Together
The recorded spread for Capital.com 1X (UK clients only) is 0.6 - 1.3, while IC Markets Raw Pro+ shows 0.0 - 0.1. Evaluating overall trading costs also requires checking commission rates, pricing units, instruments and position sizes.
Review Minimum Deposit Requirements
The recorded minimum deposit for Capital.com 1X (UK clients only) is $10, compared with $200 for IC Markets Raw Pro+. A lower deposit requirement may provide more flexibility, but it does not automatically make an account better.

Verify Regulation and Eligibility
