“This follows our introduction of spot forex spreads as low as one pip, and helps us further our goal of providing our customers with the ideal combination of value, service and support,” said Gary Tilkin, CEO and president, GFT.

Traders interested in speculating on share index prices will find many reasons to trade with GFT, including a wide range of indices from Australia 25 other countries, combined with competitive spreads and margin requirements as low as 0.5 percent. In addition, guaranteed stops are available on all indices (for an extra charge) and many indices are quoted 24 hours a day, 5.5 days a week – even when the underlying market is closed.
