What you pay

Fees and costs

No commission is charged on trading. The costs consumed are the trading spreads that begin at 0.6 pip and are very tight with major currency pairs. These are for overnight positions and are fully disclosed in the platform. Capital.com charges zero inactivity fees, which is obviously a welcome gesture for most occasional traders.
