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, including a cent account with no minimum deposit
  • Negative balance protection and segregated client money are stated in its risk disclosure
  • Leverage is cut automatically as account equity grows, which limits the size of positions on larger 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 xChief Ltd holds Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) licence T2023379; we could not confirm it on MISA's register on 2026-10-20 (the register blocked automated access).
  • Says xChief ZA (Pty) Ltd is authorised by the FSCA as FSP 54829; we could not confirm it on the FSCA register on 2026-10-20 (the register could not be reached). That company only introduces clients; accounts are opened with xChief Ltd in Comoros.
  • Leverage up to 1:1000 and heavy use of bonuses, no-deposit offers and trading credits
  • Inactive accounts pay $20 and then $20 a month

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.

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.
