Key facts at a glance

Regulation and safety

Regulation is the first thing to check with any broker. Exclusive Capital is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under the licence number CIF 330/17. CIF stands for Cyprus Investment Firm, the licence type that CySEC issues to investment firms in Cyprus. Regulation means the broker must follow CySEC rules on how it operates, how it treats clients and how it reports its activities.

The broker also states that it keeps segregated client funds. In general, this means client money is held separately from the company's own operating money. This does not stop you from losing money on trades, but it is an important protection if the broker runs into financial trouble.

You can verify the licence yourself. Search for the broker on the CySEC public register and compare the licence number and company name with the details on the broker's website. Always do this before you deposit.

Account types

Exclusive Capital offers several account types, so traders with different budgets and needs can find an option:

• Free demo account: lets you practise with virtual funds before you risk real money. This is a good starting point for beginners and a useful testing ground for strategies.
• Mini accounts: designed for traders who want to start with smaller positions and a lower entry point.
• VIP accounts: higher-tier accounts for more experienced or higher-volume traders. Check the broker's website for the requirements and benefits.
• Islamic accounts: swap-free accounts that follow Sharia principles, which do not charge or pay overnight interest (swap).
• Swap-free accounts: remove overnight financing charges, which can suit short-term traders or those who hold positions for longer periods.
• Managed accounts: allow clients to have their accounts handled by a professional manager. Check the terms, fees and risk arrangements carefully before using this service.

Account base currencies include USD, EUR, GBP and HUF. Choosing a base currency that matches your deposit currency can help you avoid unnecessary conversion costs. Exact account conditions can vary, so compare the options on the official site.

Trading platforms

Exclusive Capital provides MetaTrader 5, one of the most widely used trading platforms in the industry. MT5 offers charting tools, technical indicators, order types and the option to use automated trading tools. Traders can access it in three ways:

• Desktop application, for full functionality and fast charting
• Web trading, through a browser without installing software
• Mobile trading, for managing positions on a smartphone or tablet

Hedging and scalping are allowed, and news trading is permitted. If your strategy depends on these approaches, check the broker's execution rules and any restrictions on order handling before you open a live account.

Spreads, fees and leverage

Exclusive Capital advertises spreads as low as 0.0 pips on EURUSD. Spreads are the difference between the buy and sell price, and they change with market conditions, especially around major news releases or during low-liquidity hours. A low advertised spread does not mean you will always pay that rate, so look at typical spreads on the instruments you trade, not only the best-case figure.

Maximum leverage is up to 1:300. Leverage lets you control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital, which can increase both profits and losses. Leverage may be lower depending on your country of residence and the account type you choose. Use leverage carefully and size positions according to your risk tolerance.

The minimum deposit is 200. The source does not specify the currency, so confirm the amount and currency on the broker's website before depositing. Also check for any commissions, inactivity fees, withdrawal fees or currency conversion charges, as these are not covered in this review.

Risk warning: trading forex and CFDs on leverage carries a high risk of losing money. Only trade with funds you can afford to lose.

Deposits and withdrawals

Exclusive Capital accepts deposits by credit or debit card and bank wire transfer, along with other methods the broker may offer. The available options can depend on your country, so check the deposit page on the official website.

For withdrawals, the broker lists credit or debit card, bank wire transfer, Neteller and Skrill
