Start Trading at CapitalXtend with a Demo Account

For beginner traders, and even professional traders who want to test their strategies and analyses, the CapitalXtend demo account is recommended. This account offers an environment similar to the real financial market, with the difference that virtual funds are used instead of real capital.

Using a demo account lets you get familiar with the popular MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms and, without risk, test your strategy, order execution speed and the behavior of different instruments. However, you should note that under clause 10.3.3 of the CapitalXtend broker's client agreement, the prices shown in the client terminal may be «indicative quotes» (Indicative Quotes), and as a result, the slippage that occurs in the real market may not be fully noticeable in the demo account.

Is It Possible to Open an Islamic Account at Capitalxtend Broker?

Yes. CapitalXtend broker offers swap-free trading on its accounts. However, a swap-free account does not mean a cost-free account; according to the official website, the Islamic account is subject to a storage fee. In addition, clause 10.6 of the client agreement covers Islamic accounts in detail. The important point is that the broker has the right to revoke the account's swap-free status or change the fees at any time and without prior notice. Also, if the company determines that a client is abusing the swap-free status to profit from interest rate differentials, it can deduct all resulting profits and block the account. For this reason, the Islamic account is a kind of temporary facility rather than a permanent account status.
