Our notes

Strengths
  • Capitalxtend (Mauritius) LLC is on the FSC Mauritius register as an investment dealer (SEC-2.1B), licensed since 15 June 2023
  • Low entry point, with a Standard account from $12
  • Publishes margin call and stop-out levels for every account
  • Six account types on MetaTrader 5, with a demo version of each
  • The Nano account opens from $10 and trades in steps of 0.001 lots
  • Swap-free (Islamic) option on request
  • The client agreement says client money is held in segregated accounts
Watch out for
  • The client agreement is with the St Vincent company (CapitalXtend Limited / CapitalXtend LLC); St Vincent registration is a company registration, not a licence to offer trading
  • Says it holds a Kazakhstan accreditation (file 36-0-12/5/ЮЛ-C-265); we could not confirm it on a Kazakhstan regulator's register on 2026-10-20
  • Unlimited leverage on major pairs and metals, with a 10% stop-out on most accounts, so a small move can wipe out the balance
  • The client agreement lets the company pool client money in one omnibus account and pass it to third parties such as brokers or payment providers
  • Says it is regulated by the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) but publishes no licence number; we could not confirm a licence on MISA's register on 2026-10-29 (the register sits behind a bot check).
  • The BVI Financial Services Commission's Public Statement 2 of 2020 says www.itbfx.com circulated a forged BVI investment business licence and has never been licensed in or from the BVI.
  • No negative balance protection: the account risk warnings say losses can exceed your deposit, and the agreement makes you pay any shortfall within two working days.
  • The website names International Trading Brachium Ltd (Saint Lucia), while the client agreement names ITB Limited (Seychelles); neither is a licensed firm on any register we checked.

Risk warnings

The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:

  • CapitalXtend: Trading Forex and Financial Instruments involve a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can be either for or against you. Before deciding to invest, carefully consider your investment objectives and risk appetite. You should be aware of the risks associated with financial markets.
  • ITBFX: Before trading, you should ensure that you’ve undergone sufficient preparation and fully understand the risks involved in margin trading.

Other head-to-head pages

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
