GTC FX Trading Conditions FAQ

Spreads and commissions depend on the account type: standard accounts generally charge no commission but have wider spreads, while ECN/Raw accounts have tighter spreads but charge a commission per lot. Spreads also change with market volatility, so check live quotes on the trading platform and refer to GTC's official account information.

Maximum leverage varies by contracting entity, account type and region. In more strictly regulated regions leverage is usually lower, and the high leverage listed by some third-party sources does not apply to all clients. Please rely on your account agreement and what your client portal shows. High leverage magnifies losses.

GTC offers forex, precious metals and other CFD instruments, and its official app description states that it offers more than 1,000 global instruments. The exact list of tradable instruments varies by account and region. Check it under "Market Watch" in the trading platform.

The minimum lot size for forex instruments is usually 0.01 lot, although it may differ by account and instrument. Check the minimum lot size, lot step and contract size in the instrument specifications on the platform.

Positions held overnight usually incur a swap (which may be a credit or a charge), and the amount depends on the instrument and the direction of the position. Whether swap-free accounts are offered varies by region and account type, so please confirm with GTC.

When your account equity falls too low relative to the margin in use, you will receive a margin call, and a further decline may trigger a stop out. The exact levels are set out in GTC's client agreement. We recommend managing your position size and setting stop-loss orders.

During sharp market moves, major data releases or periods of thin liquidity, slippage can occur, meaning the execution price differs from the price at which you placed the order. This can happen with any broker. You can reduce the impact by avoiding highly volatile periods and using smaller positions.
