Deposit Insurance

Grand Capital does not support a deposit insurance or investor compensation program as it is not regulated by a major financial authority. This means that in the event of the broker's failure, clients may not be compensated for their deposits. Investors should consider this risk when choosing to open an account with this broker.

Spreads and Costs

Grand Capital offers competitive spreads and costs when compared to industry-leading brokers. The average forex spread is 1.23, which is relatively low. For commodities, the average spread is 0.17, which is also favorable.

These averages place Grand Capital in a competitive position among brokers in terms of overall cost.

Combined Spread/Commission Costs by Asset Class Compared to Market Leading Brokers

Note: Crypto averages comprise (BTCUSD, ETHUSD), forex averages comprise (EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDNZD, CADCHF), indices averages comprise (US30, AUS200), and commodities average comprises (XAUUSD, XAGUSD) and that data is sampled every 10 seconds for 24 hours to calculate the average. Forex is stated in pips, and the others are stated in base currency. All spreads including both spread and commission calculated in.

Our data comes from our sophisticated spread analyzer tool, which collects live account information and syncs with our performance analytics system. To compare all brokers and instruments with the latest live data, visit our spread analyzer tool. A spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an asset and can vary widely between brokers and account types.

Some brokers charge higher spreads but no commission, while others charge both, making it crucial to assess the total cost, which includes both spread and commission. Our values reflect this all-in cost. Note that some brokers may set low costs on popular pairs like EURUSD but higher rates on other instruments.

Many brokers also advertise "as low as" spreads that may not reflect the true average or include commissions. Comparing true all-in cost averages across various instruments and asset classes is vital for accurate assessment.

Swap Rates/Financing Fees

Swap fees, also known as financing fees, are the costs associated with holding a trading position overnight. These fees can be positive (paying out) or negative (costing money), depending on the interest rate differential between the currencies involved.

Grand Capital has relatively high average swap rates compared to the industry-leading brokers, which could result in higher costs for traders holding positions overnight.

Comparison to other Brokers

When comparing Grand Capital to other brokers, it is clear that while it offers some competitive advantages such as high leverage and negative balance protection, it falls short in several key areas. The broker has only a single user review with a low rating of 1.0 out of 5, and it is not regulated by a major financial authority.

Its spreads and costs are competitive, but its swap rates are relatively high compared to industry leaders. The lack of a deposit compensation scheme and public financial transparency also raises concerns.

Overall, while Grand Capital may appeal to some traders due to its leverage and platform offerings, other brokers such as IC Markets, Pepperstone, and Axi may offer better regulatory oversight and user satisfaction.

Trading Platforms - Mobile, Desktop, Automated

Grand Capital offers both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms, which are available for desktop, mobile, and web. These platforms are renowned for their robust features, advanced charting tools, and support for automated trading.

The MetaTrader platforms use MQL4 and MQL5 programming languages, which are specifically designed for developing trading algorithms and are moderately easy to learn for traders with some programming background.

What Can you Trade?

Grand Capital offers a wide range of tradable instruments across various asset classes. Traders can access forex, crypto, stock, stock index, commodities, and ETF CFDs.

However, it is important to note that trading CFDs means you do not own the underlying assets but rather trade on their price movements. This allows for leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. For a detailed list of all available instruments, visit the broker's website.

Available Leverage

Grand Capital offers leverage up to 3000:1, which is significantly higher than many other brokers. High leverage can be advantageous for experienced traders looking to maximize their trading potential, but it also increases the risk of substantial losses. Therefore, traders should use leverage cautiously and ensure they have adequate risk management strategies in place.

Grand Capital cannot open client accounts for residents of certain countries. For the most up-to-date list of prohibited countries, it is recommended to check directly on the Grand Capital's website.
