Why Trade Forex and CFD

In control of your trading orders You can see the bid and offer and choose to enter a market order instantly or place a limit order.

Going Long or Short You need not Buy (Long) first before you sell. Now you can also Sell (Short) then buy back. With such trading options, the opportunity to profit from the market is enhanced further.

Access to a Wide Range of Global Financial Instruments You can gain immediate access to the wide range of global financial instruments offered by GCM. You can trade equities, indices, currencies and commodities all from the same account and all in real-time.

Leverage Since CFDs are traded on margin, your capital can be spread more effectively over a wider portfolio. You need only to put down a percentage or margin of the total value of your trades.

Longer Trading Hours GCM will market make prices for our range of Forex and CFD up to 24 hours a day and will be make available to you as long as the markets for the underlying financial instruments are open.

Flexible Amount When trading Forex or CFD with GCM, we offer you the flexibility to trade as little as 1,000 base currency units or contract size.

Instant Execution of Trades GCM will try to confirm your trade as soon as you hit the buy / sell button. You should not have to wait more than seconds for prices to be confirmed, except in unusual market circumstances.

No Stamp Duty on Equity CFD Transactions There is no stamp duty on equity CFD transactions, which makes trading CFD a cheaper way to gain exposure to equities than trading physical shares.

No Physical Settlement Forex and CFD will never be physically settled. They are always settled on the difference between the open and close price in cash.

Potential Interest on Short Positions When you initiate a short position and sell a CFD, you will be treated as a lender of the asset. GCM may pay you interest in respect of this short position if held open overnight. The interest payable is dependent on the underlying currency interest rates.

Risks Like all derivative products, Forex and CFD trading carries risk and is not for everyone. You should be aware that it is possible to lose more money than your initial deposit and that you may be required to make further deposits at short notice. Please read the risk warning.
