GFT's smart promotion – get rebate when moving from another broker
GFT both redesigned its website (finally it looks good) and launched a highly interesting promotion – traders moving their accounts

GFT both redesigned its website (finally it looks good) and launched a highly interesting promotion – traders moving their accounts from other brokers will receive a pip rebate on every trade they make. The terms are less difficult than I’d imagine (there are more strict on the bonus, but that’s something else) and will potentially allow traders to keep having an account with another provider open while enjoying a rebate commission at GFT – this still supports GFTs goal of opening many new accounts.
On the other, hand if the broker is paying you to trade with it what’s the catch? Higher spread? Market Making?

which equals to 0.1 pip only , i would say this is not worth the trouble …
it is only $1 per $100k lot.
Not worth a toss
Its not one pip, its .1 pip. Not worth it with GFT. If it was 1 full pip, i’d consider.
Seems like an act of desperation to me..
All GFT (& Gain Capital) ever do is try to play catch-up with FXCM, but FXCM is always the clear leader.
GFT (& Gain), sadly, are “also-rans….”
I like their direct competition and their offer only to someone who already trades with other brokers 🙂
Still a lousy offer …

I realy think they got a bad desigh.
I wouldn’t really call this site an improvement … and 0.1 PIP rebate … is pathetic. If an IB offered to send them clients they would gladly pay up to $20 rebate per standard lot … Any smart client would sign an IB deal first and then open their own account under that agreement. 🙂
Bad shoot from GFT, They used to be better than this
Regards
its a bit like transferring your bank account! does look a bit desperate and further cutting margins
This is really a move from GFT… They must really in desperate need of new clients this year.
