I have been using GFT for about 4 months now. My feelings are mixed though, but I have become very wary as I can notice that the trading is one sided towards GFT's side. I used the demo for a while but had so much problems that I eventually was forced to open an account to use the software. Was that delibrtly or not?? After opening a mini account, I was very dissapointed to see very few indicators as well as a forced leverage of 400:1 which can deplete my mini account in a few seconds. (nice way of telling me to deposit more money) Since then I am receiving continues calls to open a standerd account. Now bells started to ring regarding their credibility. The sales person is so persistant that I cannot help to believe he is only in it for the commission. Pathetic exuses to open the standerd account such as training, free book, more indicators, better news and freebees are used as convicing aurguments. I am still having mix feelings and will continue to give them a change and see how things play out.

Nice charting software. Users guide can be hard to follow. Platform can be difficult for newcomers. Not had any serious problem with them, but newbies may just wish to use them for their charting package.

Opened mini account with GFT a month ago. Rep encouraged opening regular account ($5000 usd) to get access to educational and premium services. Implied that I was more likely to make money if I purchased and followed one of their guru's. Dealbook 360 is the best of 4 systems that I have worked with. The demo account seems to be the full version but the mini account version has most of the indicators blocked out. Have XP pro. with broadband internet. The data feed is stable and charts update quickly but have problems with other programs locking up requiring a reboot when dealbook is running in the background. Can't comment on real trading since I have not there yet.

Great charts and platform but horrible for news trading. If you don't trade the news and are more of a long term trader then this broker is great.

I agree with John. I trade news, and when it comes to filling orders...I changed the name from Global Forex Trading, to Get Filled Tomorrow! If you call the deal desk they put you on hold until the oder has closed and reply...sorry I don't see no pending order. The better I got at trading...the slower they got to filling my orders. I have nothing good to say about this broker!

i have been trading with gft for about 3 months now and i have to say that the dealbook platform is great but ikeep hearing complaints about their execution trades so i will just give them a three star rating until i go live to really check out how good or bad they are

Hands down the BEST market maker in the industry. I know the platforms of 8 different broker extremely well. Dealbook by GFT is by far the best. You can make it exactly what you want. With dealbook you can replicate the other and the they also have nearly 100% uptime. !!!! Learn technicals and dont cheese out with news you'll be much happier in the long run.

Traded with them 3 years ago. There win is your loss and they surely know how to stack the cards in their favor.The moment you start winning they pull out all the plugs.You got NO chance, buddy. STAY AWAY!!! Good platform and system though.

GFT has a great platform and great service. Looks like the only people complaining are people that clearly don't know what they are doing! If you trade the news you are just trying to make a quick buck and don't know how to trade Forex.
