Minimum / Maximum Trade Sizes

Maximum trading sizes vary according to underlying liquidity, market conditions and whether the underlying market is classed as being quoted by GFT Global Markets as “out of hours”, i.e. outside of regular trading hours.

The market information sheets indicate the usual minimum and maximum trading sizes in GBP; currency equivalents apply for non-GBP accounts, or when trading on markets denominated in a currency other than GBP.

Restrictions may be applied to maximum trade sizes whether opening or closing.

The lot size of the corresponding underlying market is provided for your information, as a guide to minimum market trading size.

When you trade CFDs you are always trading the in “base” currency of the underlying market. E.g. if you trade a US share, you are trading in US dollars per one cent movement.
