InvestingFox offers MetaTrader 5 trading in forex, indices, shares and commodities, with a separate physical-share offering and interest on unused account funds. Its operator is CAPITAL MARKETS, o.c.p., a.s. The service is restricted to the EU/EEA, and retail CFD trading is excluded for Belgian residents.[1][16][17]

Trading conditions specify a $250 opening bank transfer without a currency code; the payment table allows bank transfers from EUR 1 and cards from EUR 500. Confirm the activation amount for the chosen account.[4][5]
Opening requires identity checks, the applicable appropriateness/suitability assessment and broker acceptance. Trading activation then requires the account’s initial funding.[12]
Markets and platform access
Sections ↑Markets shown in the current offer
| Market | Access and useful distinction |
|---|---|
| Forex | Major, minor and exotic CFDs; the FX table uses a 100,000-unit standard lot and 0.01-lot minimum.Source 6 |
| Indices | Cash and futures-style index symbols, including US500 and German-index variants. Their contract multipliers differ.Source 7 |
| Gold and silver | XAUUSD, XAUEUR and XAGUSD contracts are listed. The webpage quotes 100 ounces for dollar gold, 10 for euro gold and 5,000 for silver.Source 8 |
| Energy and other commodities | Brent, WTI, natural gas, agricultural and industrial-metal contracts. The oil table contains malformed or “fixed” fields, so it does not establish a reliable uniform leverage figure.Source 8 |
| Share CFDs | Several national equity markets; the reference table generally shows leverage up to 1:5 and a one-share minimum.Source 9 |
| Physical shares | US and European shares, starting from one share; these have a distinct commission and holding-charge schedule.Source 10 |
| ETF CFDs | GLD, IBIT, ICLN and other ETF symbols; the published table shows leverage up to 1:5 and a minimum trade of one unit.Source 11 |
| Crypto exposure | A crypto-CFD KID is available, but the current instrument inventory reviewed did not establish a direct BTC/USD or ETH/USD list. Bitcoin-linked ETF/ETP symbols are listed; they should not be described as owned coins.Source 24Source 20 |
Platform and device capabilities
| Access | Documented capability |
|---|---|
| Desktop MetaTrader 5 | Windows installer and MQL5 Expert Advisor support are linked by InvestingFox.Source 16 |
| Browser | A WebTrader entry point is provided; browser access should not be assumed to run a desktop EA.Source 16 |
| Mobile | Broker-linked iOS and Android downloads specify the CapitalMarkets-Live server.Source 16 |
| Automation permission | Robot trading requires prior written consent under the CFD appendix, despite the EA advertisement.Source 12 |
| Stops during disconnection | MetaQuotes documents server-side Stop Loss/Take Profit. A desktop trailing stop runs in the terminal; when that terminal stops, trailing updates stop while the last submitted Stop Loss remains.Source 34 |
Spreads, commissions and holding charges
Sections ↑Forex reference figures
Share and ETF charges in the price list
| Product | Commission on each opening and closing trade | Other published charges |
|---|---|---|
| Physical shares | 1% of volume; minimum EUR 5 / USD 5 / CZK 125 by account currency | Spread plus 5% annually on open-position volumeSource 3 |
| Share CFDs | 0.1%; US and South Korean underlyings 0.30%. Same currency-specific minimums | Spread plus 19% annual swap on open-position volumeSource 3 |
| ETF CFDs | 0.30%; same currency-specific minimums | Spread plus 19% annual swap on open-position volumeSource 3 |
The tariff also applies financial transaction tax to Italian CFDs and ITA40, from EUR 0.25 to EUR 200 per transaction depending on nominal value.[3]
The physical-share webpage describes buy-only trading. Its 5% annual management charge is collected daily as a swap, with a triple charge on Wednesday. That continuing charge distinguishes this service from a simple purchase-and-hold account with no custody cost.[4]
Other costs and conflicting fee claims
| Item | Published position |
|---|---|
| Card deposits | The payment page says zero broker fee; the dated price list charges 1%. Resolve the applicable rate before paying.Source 5Source 3 |
| Inactive account | Tariff: up to EUR 29, or the lower remaining balance, after three months; zero balance means no inactivity debit. The agreement permits a monthly maintenance charge after one or more inactive months.Source 3Source 12 |
| Currency conversion | General terms use the rate of the bank or investment firm holding the omnibus account when buying instruments in another currency. A separate current conversion markup was not established.Source 13 |
| Third-party payments | External payment and transfer expenses can be passed through to the client.Source 5 |
The swap download labels EURUSD as “Symbol Base Currency”, with −60 long and −52 short; XAUUSD# and XAGUSD# use “Interest Price”, both −19. These are different calculation types. Do not interpret all numbers as pips or a flat cash debit. The applicable symbol specification and rollover calendar are needed to calculate the actual holding cost.[22]
Execution, margin and contract rollovers
Sections ↑The execution policy permits direct venue execution, transmission to another investment firm and execution outside an organised venue. Price, total cost, speed and execution likelihood can affect routing; specific client instructions can limit the broker’s usual execution process. This is not a promise that every CFD reaches an exchange.[15]
Trading controls that affect positions
| Control | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Margin warning | Trading conditions show a 100% margin-level notification, available automatically only while logged in.Source 4 |
| Stop-out | The page and CFD appendix state automatic closure below a 50% margin level. This does not guarantee liquidation at an exact price.Source 4Source 12 |
| Order amendments | Unexecuted orders, or the remaining unexecuted portion, may be changed where technically and legally possible. Identify amendments and repeat instructions against the original order.Source 13 |
| Position and order limits | The broker reserves the right to limit orders and total exposure. The reviewed FX schedule does not publish a universal numeric ceiling or stop-distance rule.Source 6 |
| Contract expiry window | New positions stop 15 minutes before expiration; existing TP, SL and pending limit/stop orders are cancelled 10 minutes before expiration under the trading-conditions page.Source 4 |
A futures rollover replaces the expiring reference contract and can create a cash adjustment as well as a price change. The rollover explanation warns that stop-out can occur. Check the current symbol’s rollover date and verify protective orders after the rollover; a continuing position does not mean its previous protection has remained intact.[23]
Selected published trading sessions
Cash, withdrawals and account closure
Sections ↑Payment routes
| Route | Published limits and handling |
|---|---|
| Bank deposit | EUR 1 minimum in the payment table; no maximum shown. This is not the separately stated account-activation minimum.Source 5 |
| Card deposit | EUR 500–10,000 in the table; the broker’s two fee sources disagree as described above.Source 5 |
| Bank withdrawal | No positive minimum or maximum shown. Return to the same bank account from which funds were sent.Source 5 |
| Arrival time | The site advertises processing within three days, but says international bank transfers may take two to five days and same-day receipt is not guaranteed.Source 5 |
Free margin is equity minus necessary margin. Committed transaction margin is unavailable for withdrawal. No current bonus scheme with established release-to-cash rules was found.[12]
The funding page lists EUR, USD, CZK, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD, JPY and PLN. A currency choice does not establish that every instrument settles without conversion or that the account includes a currency loan.[5]
Dormancy may follow one year of inactivity; reactivation can require documents and closure requires notice. On termination, close positions and obtain the balance calculation. The broker can retain outstanding obligations before returning residual money to the client’s own account.[12]
Company verification and client protection
Sections ↑The current NBS record identifies CAPITAL MARKETS, o.c.p., a.s., IČO 36853054, as a securities dealer from 31 October 2007 and expressly lists investingfox.com. It also displays cross-border records. These checks establish the company/domain relationship; the broker’s narrower EU/EEA acceptance rules still control who may apply.[27][1]
Different protection mechanisms
| Mechanism | Scope and limit |
|---|---|
| Client assets | NBS explains that client assets are outside the firm’s own estate; use for the firm or another client requires consent under the applicable rules. This is not a trading-loss guarantee.Source 28 |
| Negative balance | InvestingFox’s trading conditions promise that liability will not exceed available funds in the specific account. Apply this to the documented CFD scope.Source 4 |
| Investment Guarantee Fund | CAPITAL MARKETS appears on the Fund’s participant list. The scheme covers eligible unavailable client assets up to EUR 50,000 per qualifying client, subject to its rules.Source 29Source 30 |
| Excluded investment losses | The Fund’s FAQ excludes loss from a poor investment or an issuer failing to repay a bond. Membership does not insure market returns.Source 31 |
Dealing help, records and complaints
Sections ↑Official contacts
| Purpose | Contact | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Account support | [email protected]; +421 2 222 00770 | General account questionsSource 19 |
| Telephone orders | +421 2 222 00787 | Published line for purchase/sale orders from abroadSource 19 |
| Technical support | +421 2 222 00792 | Technical assistanceSource 19 |
| Formal complaint | [email protected] | Written signed complaint to CAPITAL MARKETSSource 14 |
During an electronic-service interruption, the general terms permit another agreed order channel, including telephone. Telephone orders require the prescribed identification and may need further authorisation. If an order’s result is uncertain, identify the original instruction when querying it or submitting a marked repeat; do not assume a second instruction will cancel the first.[13]
For a lost or suspected compromised security tool, notify the broker promptly and request blocking. The terms also permit preventive account blocking. A fixed post-reset withdrawal-hold period was not established.[13]
Confirmations are due next business day after execution or receipt from a third party. Query incorrect or missing confirmations within ten business days of when sent or due.[12]
The privacy notice describes continued legal record retention after closure; it does not promise continued client download access. Save statements before closing. A jurisdiction-specific tax calculation service was not established. Tax-residence changes use the client-zone personal-details process and a signed CRS form.[1][26]
Complaint and escalation clocks
| Step | Published rule |
|---|---|
| Initial filing | Generally within six months of when the defect could have been discovered; mandatory longer statutory periods are preserved.Source 14 |
| Submission | Signed written account details, events, supporting evidence and requested remedy; email or delivery to the registered office.Source 14 |
| Broker response | 30 calendar days after a complete complaint; objective extensions require reasons and an expected date.Source 14 |
| Internal appeal | Within 15 calendar days of receiving the decision; compliance then has a new 30-calendar-day period.Source 14 |
| NBS report | podanie.nbs.sk or post to the Financial Consumer Protection Department. NBS assesses compliance but cannot order personal compensation.Source 32 |
| Independent dispute route | After rejection or no reply within 30 days of sending the complaint, eligible consumers may approach an ADR body whose remit covers the service.Source 33 |
Cash interest, research and trading authority
Sections ↑Published cash-interest rates
The interest page advertises daily compounding on available funds, no balance ceiling and withdrawal without an interest penalty. Ordinary account verification, margin and withdrawal rules continue to matter.[17]
Autochartist scans charts and technical patterns and distributes market information. InvestingFox describes it as free with a trading account, while its tier table introduces it at Basic. The service page leaves trading decisions with the client; it does not grant the tool authority to place orders or move money.[18][2]
Company background and document scope
Sections ↑NBS also lists capitalmarkets.sk for this company. No current migration to a different contracting company was established. The operator’s history does not establish the InvestingFox brand’s launch date.[27]
The legal library contains documents for several investment services. Portfolio-management, physical-share and CFD clauses should be applied to the service actually agreed. In particular, a general reference to lending or portfolio management does not establish those features for a standard InvestingFox CFD account.[13]
