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
  • Four account types from $10, with commissions published per asset class
  • Says client funds are segregated and that every account has negative balance protection
  • Publishes its dynamic leverage tiers and stop-out levels
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
  • The "Licence No. 2023-00478" on its site is the company number on its Saint Lucia certificate of incorporation (International Business Companies Act), not a financial licence
  • It also shows a US FinCEN money services business registration; that is an anti-money-laundering registration, not a licence to offer forex or CFDs, and STB does not serve US residents
  • No licence from any regulator that we could confirm
  • Funding only by USDT and two exchange services; no cards or bank transfer

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.
  • STB Provider: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 75% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs, FX, or any of our other products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

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.
