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)

Moneta Markets
Ultra ECN
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 Moneta Ultra ECN as a specialized account rather than an automatic upgrade for every Prime ECN user. It reduces the recorded spread range to 0.0–0.2 pips and commission to $2 per lot, but the minimum deposit rises to $20,000. Its value is therefore most relevant to professionals or money managers whose trading requirements and volume can justify the substantially higher capital threshold.
Account Advantages
- ✓Provides unleveraged trading under the 1X account conditions
- ✓No overnight fees under the account conditions

- !A separate trading commission still applies despite being lower than Prime ECN
- !A spread starting from 0.0 does not mean trading is cost-free
- !The account serves a more specialized segment and is not designed around a low entry requirement

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
Why Does Moneta Ultra ECN Require a $20,000 Deposit?
The minimum deposit recorded by Broker Alarab for Ultra ECN is $20,000, compared with $50 for Direct STP and Prime ECN. The account therefore occupies a substantially different capital tier, consistent with its categorization for professionals, money managers and larger accounts. The figure represents an account requirement rather than a recommendation for suitable trading capital.
Moneta Ultra ECN vs Prime ECN: Spread and Commission
Ultra ECN has recorded spreads of 0.0–0.2 pips with a $2 per-lot commission, while Prime ECN has 0.0–0.3 pip spreads and a $6 per-lot commission. Both use ECN Execution, but the major difference is the minimum deposit: $20,000 for Ultra versus $50 for Prime. A meaningful comparison should therefore include both capital requirements and trading costs.
Is Moneta Ultra ECN Designed for Larger Accounts?
Broker Alarab data categorizes Ultra ECN for professional traders, money managers and larger accounts. This aligns with the recorded $20,000 minimum deposit and pricing structure of a $2 per-lot commission with 0.0–0.2 pip spreads. Account suitability, however, depends on actual trading requirements and volume rather than simply meeting the minimum deposit.
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 Moneta Markets Ultra ECN account
The minimum deposit is $20,000
This is the Ultra ECN requirement recorded by Broker Alarab, substantially higher than Direct STP and Prime ECN, and it is not a recommendation for suitable trading capital.
The recorded commission is $2 per lot
The commission is lower than Prime ECN in our data but remains a separate trading-cost component that should be considered with the spread.
Recorded spreads range from 0.0–0.2 pips
The recorded average is 0.1 pip, and the 0.0-pip starting point does not mean cost-free trading because a separate commission applies.
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 Moneta Markets Ultra ECN shows 0.0 - 0.2. 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 $20,000 for Moneta Markets Ultra ECN. A lower deposit requirement may provide more flexibility, but it does not automatically make an account better.
Compare Trading Platforms and Execution
Check which trading platforms each broker actually offers for the selected account, including MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 where supported. Also review execution policies and potential slippage. Availability and conditions may vary by account and country.
Verify Regulation and Eligibility
Confirm the legal entity that will serve your account, the regulatory framework applicable to that entity, and whether the selected account is available in your country.
