Synopsis
GFS provides a Forex Trading Platform with
unique properties to facilitate real time trading. GFS immediately
offsets all client trades with a bank or institutional liquidity
provider and therefore they will never trade "against"
their clients, GFS offers traders a high level of execution that
is unmatched in the marketplace.
The following section provides more information
on the advantages and workings of the OperaFX trading platform.
Once you have read through the information why not try out their
live demo account?
Execution
GFS offers traders the highest possible level
of price transparency using real time streaming quotes, and a
speed of execution that is unmatched in the marketplace. Clients
simply click on the current bid or offer, deals are confirmed
instantaneously, and all trading activity is tracked on screen
in real time, including current open positions, real time profit
and loss, margin availability, account balances, and all historical
transaction details.
One of the primary reasons GFS has captured such
a large institutional client base is the reliability of our prices
and our fills. Our relationships with the world’s largest FX banks
and liquidity providers allow our clients to directly access the
global currency markets. This deep liquidity pool attracts those
who require the ability to execute institutional size deals. With
straight through processing (STP) even the largest orders are
almost always filled at the displayed price.
  
Competitive Spreads and STP
Straight Through
Processing (STP) - No Dealing Desk execution combines the benefits
of direct access to the interbank market with the convenience
and speed of GFS’s proprietary platform, OperaFX. GFS does not
trade against our clients. We offer every client, including both
retail and institutional, equal access to the interbank market.
GFS does not have a need to know your positions, so stop and limit
orders are never targeted or “hunted”. Traders rarely receive
a “requoted” price on our STP platform, with the exception of
extreme market volatility. Knowing that GFS only generates revenue
off of the spread of the currency pair, and never takes the other
side of any trades, our clients can be confident that we share
an interest in their success.
Basically, we don't have a dealing desk and we don’t trade against
our clients. When you want to buy or sell, the price that you
see on the screen is the price that you will get. All your
orders go straight to our liquidity providers like Goldman Sachs,
Bank of America and Deutsche Bank, etc.
However, when you are dealing with a dealing desk firm. You are
trading against them. They're going to process the orders that
are more favorable to them, because they profit from you losses
and the spreads. All your losses go straight to the broker and
all you profit goes to the liquidity providers. When you could
have lost 50$, you might have lost 80$. When you could have won
$100, you might have won $60. There is a CONFLICT OF INTEREST
when your broker is trading against you.
The fact that unlike most of our competitors we use STP has resulted
in us having 0 complaints in our 10 year history. To have background
information on our firm and other firms I recommend you visit
