CFDs Explained
The "CFD", or "Contract for Difference", was developed to allow clients to receive all the benefits of owning a stock without having to physically own the stock itself. For example, instead of purchasing 1,000 shares of Microsoft from a stock broker, a client could instead buy a 10 lots of Microsoft on the GCI CFD trading platform. A $5 per share rise in the price of Microsoft would confer to the client a $5,000 profit, just as if he had purchased the actual shares that are traded on the exchange. A major difference is that there are no exchange fees and many of the inefficiencies of trading the underlying shares on the exchange are eliminated. GCI can therefore offer CFDs with zero commissions and very attractive margin requirements. CFDs have grown in popularity dramatically over the past few years, and we believe that this will increasingly be the preferred way to trade the financial markets.
The other major benefit of trading a CFD is the fact that the client can trade on margin. CFD trading means clients can trade a full portfolio of Shares, indices, or commodities without having to tie up large amounts of capital. Using the example above, a client purchasing $50,000 worth of CFD Shares will only be asked for $2,500 margin.
CFD Performance
As with Shares, CFD investors benefit from normal market movements. Clients' open positions are valued in real time, with every tick of the market. Profits or losses similarly are credited to or debited from the clients account equity in real time.
Margin
Unlike physically purchasing stocks, clients only have to deposit approximately 5% of the value of the Shares. So if you want to buy $50,000 worth of Shares, you only need to have $2,500 on deposit with GCI.

Margin Requirements and Policies
GCI's margin requirements are the most advantageous in the industry:
ICTS Forex Account: $25 per lot on all instruments. Equivalent to approximately 0.25% margin or 400:1 leverage.
CFD/Share Account: 5% on individual shares, $25 per lot on indices and other instruments. Click here for exact margin requirements on each product.
MetaTrader Account: $250 per lot on Forex, $25 per 0.1 lots. Equivalent to approximately 0.25% margin or 400:1 leverage. 5% on individual shares. About 1% for indices and commodities. Click here for exact margin requirements on each product.
GCI is able to maintain these low margin requirements by enabling automatic liquidation of positions once a margin call is reached. This policy also provides for the protection of client account balances in the event of rapid price movements.
A margin call is reached if a client's account equity falls below the required margin. For example, in an ICTS Forex account, if a client has 10 lots of open positions a margin call will occur if account equity drops below $500. At this point, some or all of the client's open positions will be closed immediately at current prices.
Traders are also able to monitor both usable margin and used margin in real-time from the "Account Information" window of the online trading platform. Positions will be automatically closed once usable margin drops below zero.

GCI encourages clients to avoid margin calls by either using stop loss orders or maintaining adequate funds in the account relative to position size.

Introducing Brokers
GCI offers an outstanding opportunity to qualified introducing brokers ("IBs"). Our IB program supports brokers, traders and industry participants in creating or enhancing a lucrative Forex or Share Trading business. Advantages of introducing business to GCI include:
*
Outstanding compensation based on trading volume. Many companies and individuals have built lucrative IB businesses with GCI, enjoying the benefits of monthly revenue payments while letting GCI manage the expense and maintenance of back office systems, trading software, and 24 hour dealing. And for IBs with an existing business, we will exceed your current compensation schedule if you move your business to GCI.
*
Reliable monthly payments from an industry leader. GCI depends on Introducing Brokers for a large part of its trading volume. As such, we highly value all our IB relationships and have considerable administrative resources dedicated to making sure you are paid on time and in full.
*
Refer accounts to GCI or Build Your Own Brand. Whether referring clients to GCI and letting us do the account opening work, or taking advantage of our "white label" version of the internet trading platform branded with your company logo, IBs can build their business in the way that best suits their client base and their goals.
*
A superior product to offer your clients. No one else can match GCI's breadth of product offerings and low margin requirements. While many FCMs and brokers now offer online trading with narrow spreads and zero commissions, your clients will also benefit from being able to trade precious metals, indices, and share CFDs along with Forex. 200:1 leverage on all of these products makes GCI the clear choice and ensures that your clients will not easily be "lured" to competing brokers or IBs.
*
Advanced and secure online reporting. With GCI, you can more effectively manage your marketing process and expected monthly IB payment - login any time to GCI's online reporting system to run reports on your clients' trading activity, and to view their account details.
*
Regulated broker.

*
Managed Accounts/Trading Managers. Introducing brokers who manage clients' accounts or refer clients to a trading manager can also benefit from GCI's IB program. IBs with managed account clients can enhance their monthly remuneration from GCI by earning a round-turn commission and/ or profit-sharing fee, both of which can be specified in a client's Limited Power of Attorney.
