Traders Receive an Account Bonus for Transferring to Global Forex Trading

Global Forex Trading (GFT) announced that it will offer traders up to $1,000 when they open a new GFT forex trading account by transferring funds from an equities, futures or forex brokerage.

Traders who transfer funds to open a new GFT account before Feb. 28, 2007, can earn a bonus of $100 to $1,000, based upon the size of their account deposit and the number of trades they complete within three months of opening their account.

This incentive is part of a global initiative launched by GFT to encourage traders participating in traditional markets to try the $2 trillion daily forex market using GFT’s award-winning software, DealBook® 360.

The rapidly growing forex industry and GFT’s successful DealBook® 360 software has proven to be a powerful combination in the marketplace. Among the first in the United States to offer online currency trading in 1997, GFT has grown an average of 63 percent year over year for the past five years, surpassing all other U.S.-based forex dealers in adjusted net capital as reported to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

“There has been an amazing amount of interest and curiosity surrounding the forex market, and we wanted to give those who are trading elsewhere an extra bonus for trying us,” said Ashraf Ebid, executive vice president of sales and new business development, GFT.

Traders will be able to use GFT’s free award-winning trading software, DealBook® 360, to access the world’s largest market. DealBook® 360 offers many integrated features, including advanced charting, more than 85 technical studies and indicators, and visual trading directly from the charts, all at no extra cost. A recent addition to DealBook® 360 is the ability to add customized news feeds via RSS and XML, which complements the real-time news from Dow Jones Newswires and Informa Global Markets included at no cost within the platform.

Traders who are new to the forex market can get started quickly after transferring to GFT with free one-on-one training, 24-hour customer and technical support, and a free $50,000 demo trading account to help them practice trading the growing and fast-paced currency market.

The incentive program is also geared toward customers of other forex brokerage firms, as a way for experienced forex traders to explore a new software or service alternative.

“Not only does the bonus provide traders with a great reason to try the forex market, but it also motivates those who may have thought about leaving their current broker to experience the features and benefits of GFT,” said Ebid
