The Radar Chart below highlights how the brokers stack up against each other across various metrics. The highest score a broker can receive in each area is 5.
At FxScouts, we help traders find the broker that suits their trading needs. In many cases, the best way to achieve this is to compare brokers side-by-side.
To compare Capital.com and GKFX Prime, we used the same factors we use when reviewing brokers: The trust and regulation of the broker, the trading platform, the costs and trading conditions, and the level of education and market analysis available at the broker.
Trust and regulation are some of the most important factors to consider when choosing a Forex broker. Trust in the Forex trading business is almost entirely founded upon regulation. We spend many hours evaluating the safety of each broker by delving into their fine print and confirming each one of their regulatory licences on the online registers. The more top-tier authorities a broker is regulated by, the higher its trust rating.
In our comparison, we found that Capital.com holds three Tier 1 and no Tier 2 licences, and GKFX Prime holds no Tier 1 and no Tier 2 licences.
Based on these findings, Capital.com earned a higher trust rating than GKFX Prime.
Another important aspect we consider when comparing brokers is the cost of trading. When evaluating trading costs, we always consider the minimum deposit required to open an account and the ongoing trading costs, including the spreads and commissions. When calculating trading costs, we measure the cost to trade one lot of EUR/USD using the broker’s account with the lowest minimum deposit. The cost includes both the spread and any commission charged.
Not all brokers publish their trading costs, so we often open accounts and trade on their platforms to verify the spreads and commissions. Based on our reviews, we found that Capital.com has overall lower trading costs than GKFX Prime.
Traders want Forex brokers to offer them a choice of trading platforms, so we give brokers who offer multiple platforms higher ratings. Trading platforms we consider include MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader and proprietary mobile and web-based platforms.
In this case, Capital.com offers support for MT4 and Capital.com and GKFX Prime offers support for MT4 and MT5.
In this case both Capital.com and GKFX Prime offer copy trading.
A variety of CFD instruments – and a large range of CFDs for each instrument category allow traders more opportunities for profitable trading. The best brokers will have thousands of CFDs to trade, covering all these instrument categories. We found that Capital.com offers a greater range and depth of instruments to trade than GKFX Prime. Capital.com offers 125 Forex pairs to trade and GKFX Prime offers 50 Forex pairs to trade.
In this case, Capital.com offers 111 cryptocurrencies while GKFX Prime offers 3 cryptocurrencies. So if you want to trade cryptocurrencies, we advise trading with Capital.com.
Although brokers may have reasonable trading fees, many traders are caught out by the high non-trading fees charged by some brokers, including deposits and withdrawals. Traders want to be able to deposit and withdraw funds quickly and cheaply. Most brokers have multiple funding methods with zero fees for making deposits, but some brokers make it more expensive and take longer to process withdrawals.
We rate brokers more highly that process withdrawals within 24 hours by multiple withdrawal methods and without charging processing fees. We found that neither Capital.com nor GKFX Prime charges a withdrawal fee. Overall, Capital.com has better deposit and withdrawal processes than GKFX Prime.
We often find that brokers offer very little in the way of educational materials, forcing traders to use other third-party sites or self-educate elsewhere. Beginner traders need well-structured, well-presented materials in multiple formats to get a good start at trading. More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas.
Capital.com has better educational support than GKFX Prime. Both Capital.com and GKFX Prime offer educational support for more experienced traders.
To successfully predict the price movements of an instrument, traders will need access to frequent market research and analysis. We find that research and market analysis are always better when they are produced in-house and updated frequently. Third-party resources don’t show the same expertise in trading ideas, so we place a strong emphasis on frequent in-house updates. Some brokers also often offer interactive webinars where traders can learn from experts in the field.
We found that Capital.com offers better research analysis than GKFX Prime and that both Capital.com and GKFX Prime offer frequent webinars.
Capital.com no longer accepts Malaysian clients. This review is for informational purposes only. If you are looking for a broker that is similar to Capital.com, consider reading the Pepperstone and IC Markets reviews.
With one of the lowest-cost trading environments in the industry and a large number of tradable assets, Capital.com provides a welcoming environment for both beginners and professional traders looking for a new MT4 broker.
A well-regulated broker, Capital.com offers trading on an extensive range of tradable instruments, including over 138 Forex pairs, over 3600 share CFDs, 22 indices, 22 commodities, and over 200 cryptocurrencies - one of the largest sets in the industry.
Although Capital.com only offers one trading account its trading costs are significantly lower than average, with spreads starting at 0.60 pips on the EUR/USD and no commission. Additionally, no fees are charged for deposits, withdrawals, or on inactive accounts. Unlike other brokers, Capital.com charges swap fees based only on the leverage provided rather than the trading position's entire value. This is a welcome development in an industry where extra fees are charged on most transactions.
Trading is offered on MT4 and Capital.com's award-winning proprietary web platform, and customer service is available 24/7 to help with any technical queries. Notable is Capital.com’s world-class educational and market analysis section, providing exceptional value for beginner and experienced traders alike.
One drawback is the lack of technical and fundamental analysis tools on offer. Most other brokers offer tools like Autochartist, Trading Central, and free VPS services, to help traders make better trading decisions. Additionally, Malaysians will be disappointed that Capital.com does not offer Islamic Swap-Free accounts.
GKFX Prime will appeal to traders looking for a regulated MetaTrader broker with copy trading functionality, VPS hosting services, and a good selection of analysis tools. GKFX Prime’s trading costs are generally higher than average, but only one of its four account types requires a minimum deposit.
Founded in 2012, GKFX Prime is a well-regulated market maker with four live accounts on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. GKFX offers the MT4/MT5 Boost, a plugin that provides additional functionality to the trading platforms. It also offers Autochartist and Trading Central for free, two of the best technical analysis tools in the industry. A free VPS service is provided to traders who deposit 4,000 USD or more, and for traders interested in copy trading, GKFX Prime offers Zulutrade and Myfxbook Autotrade.
Trading costs are higher than average on three of GKFX Prime’s accounts, but there are no minimum deposit requirements. However, trading costs on its commission-free VIP Variable Account are extremely competitive, at 0.6 pips on the EUR/USD in exchange for a minimum deposit of 5,000 USD, which may appeal to more experienced traders.
While GKFX Prime’s educational and market analysis materials are not as comprehensive or in-depth as some of the larger international brokers, it will still be useful for both beginners and more experienced traders.
