Smooth app experience, but fees need to be clearer

I’m Kavya from Hyderabad and I’ve been using Capex for about 6 months on a Standard account mainly for major FX pairs and a bit of gold. The platform feels clean and stable on mobile, and placing/adjusting orders is straightforward. Spreads have been mostly reasonable during normal hours, and I didn’t face random disconnections. What I think can improve is the clarity around non-trading charges and how/when they apply. Also, during high-volatility news moments I noticed slippage on market orders, which is expected, but I’d prefer more guidance inside the app on order types and risk controls. Overall it’s been a solid experience for my style (short intraday trades), and I’d keep it as one of my secondary accounts.

Clean platform and decent execution, but withdrawals need clearer timelines

I’m Omar from Sharjah and I’ve been using Capex mostly for short intraday trades on majors. The platform feels polished and stable on mobile, and order placement is straightforward. Spreads were generally acceptable during normal hours, and I didn’t notice major slippage on market orders except around bigger news events. My main issue is not knowing exactly how long withdrawals will take. My first withdrawal went through, but the status updates were a bit vague and I had to double-check with support to confirm the processing steps. Support replied and was polite, but I’d prefer more proactive notifications. Overall it’s a solid experience for day-to-day trading, just room to improve on withdrawal transparency and communication.

Solid platform, but fees could be clearer

I’m Vikram from Kolkata and I’ve been trading mostly EURUSD and XAUUSD on a Standard account. Overall my experience with CAPEX has been positive: the platform feels stable during London open, and order execution has been consistent for my swing trades. The app is also easy to navigate and I like having watchlists and alerts in one place. What I didn’t love is that some costs (like overnight/holding charges) weren’t super obvious to me at first, so I had to double-check the contract specs and statements to understand why a few positions looked slightly different after being held. Once I got used to it, it was manageable, but I wish it was more transparent upfront. Deposits were smooth on my side and went through quickly. Withdrawals did go through, but one time it took longer than I expected and the status updates were not very detailed. Support was polite and helped me locate the right statement pages, though the response time varied depending on the day.

Smooth platform, but withdrawal ETA could be clearer

I’m Ananya from Mumbai and I’ve been using Capex for about six months on a Standard account, mostly trading EUR/USD and XAU/USD around London/NY overlap. The platform itself feels clean and responsive, and placing/adjusting orders is straightforward even when I’m switching between charts on mobile and desktop. Deposits through my card/UPI route (depending on the option available at the time) were credited quickly, and the confirmation emails were consistent. Spreads have generally been acceptable for my swing trades, though during fast news candles I noticed the pricing can widen more than I expect, so I avoid entering right on the release. My main complaint is not that withdrawals failed, but that the timeline messaging is vague. One withdrawal took longer than I planned for, and I had to check in with support to understand whether it was processing time or bank-side time. Support was polite and did follow up, but I’d like clearer in-app status updates and a more accurate ETA. Overall I’m still comfortable trading here, just managing my cash-out expectations better now.

Clean interface and decent fills, but pricing could be clearer

I’m Vikram from Chennai and I’ve been trading mostly EURUSD and XAUUSD. My overall experience with Capex has been positive: the platform feels stable during London open and I haven’t had any random disconnects on my side. Order placement is straightforward, and the charts load fast even on my laptop with average internet. What I liked most was how easy it was to get started and find basic tools without digging through menus. Spreads looked reasonable on majors most of the time, and my market orders were filled without noticeable delays for my position sizes. What I didn’t love is that the overall trading costs (spread vs any other fees) weren’t presented as clearly as I’d prefer, so I had to double-check details before getting comfortable. Also, some sections of the client portal feel a bit “sales-y” compared to what I’m used to. Still, for a standard retail setup it’s been a solid experience so far and I’m continuing with a small-to-medium account size.
