*PLEASE NOTE THAT EXOTIC PAIRS ARE PRONE TO WIDER SPREADS OUTSIDE OF NORMAL MARKET CONDITIONS.

Our FX CFDs are a special form of CFD which give you exposure to underlying exchange rates BUT they are cash-settled, so they cannot result in delivery of the underlying currency.

† As low as pricing is based on minimum pricing data from the 4 previous weeks. Last updated: 7/26/2010 5:03:50 PM GMT. Spreads may fluctuate during times of market volatility.

All of GFT Global Markets' FX markets are based on the spot FX markets. For more details on how these markets work, please see Examples.

Our currency markets are traded 24 hours. Any trades not closed out by approximately 17:00 ET time will be subject to a finance adjustment (credit or debit).

Finance adjustments are made to trades held overnight (i.e. after 17:00 ET time) on rolling markets. For trades on currencies, this is calculated as follows:

f = (s x p x r) / d

where
f = daily financing charge
s = the number of CFDs you hold in the 1st currency
p = roll-over price (the GFT Global Markets mid-price at 17:00 ET time that day)
r = differential of relevant overnight LIBOR rate of 1st named currency and that of 2nd named currency.
d = number of days, i.e. where the 2nd named currency is GBP or AUD we use 365 days. Otherwise we use 360 days.

If the first currency has a higher interest rate, then you are credited interest for running a long position and debited interest for running a short position.
If the first currency has a lower interest rate, then you are debited interest for running a long position and credited interest for running a short position.

A quick way to work out potential profit is to think of the value of one "pip", i.e. for GBP/USD, for 100,000 CFDs each pip has a value of $10)

Interest Rates used for Overnight Finance Adjustments

Finance adjustments apply to open positions at 17:00 ET.

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.
