65%

Capital.com's own risk warning says 65% of its retail accounts lose money when trading CFDs with it, according to TradingLookup's CFD Loss-Rate Series (read from the UK on 6 October 2026).

CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Each figure is the firm's own statement about its retail clients. Data, not advice.
