Instruments
What you can tradeon a GFN account.
GFN accounts can trade forex, metals including gold, indices, commodities and cryptocurrency instruments, wherever they are available on the platform, on all three programmes. Leverage is up to 1:50 and can be lower per instrument. Exchange-traded futures are not offered: external futures markets can be used for analysis, but orders run on GFN instruments.
Offered
Five instrument classes,on every programme
Forex
Forex pairs can be traded on every GFN programme, at leverage up to 1:50 and $7 per lot round turn. The rules that bite hardest are the funded-account news window around releases such as payrolls, the 2 minutes minimum hold, and the daily loss limit - 3% on Instant, 5% on the others.
Gold and metals
Gold, silver and other metals can be traded on every GFN programme where the instrument is available. Leverage is up to 1:50 and can be lower on metals, commission is $7 per lot round turn, and gold's dollar range makes the daily loss limit - 3% on Instant, 5% elsewhere - the rule to size against first.
Indices
Index instruments can be traded on every GFN programme where they are available, at leverage up to 1:50 that can be lower on indices. Unlike forex they keep session hours, so the cash open, overnight gaps and US data releases are where the 3% and 5% daily loss limits are most often reached.
Commodities and oil
Commodity instruments, including oil where offered, can be traded on every GFN programme where they are available. Leverage is up to 1:50 and can be lower per instrument. Energy moves several percent on inventory and production news, so the daily loss limit - 3% on Instant, 5% elsewhere - binds quickly.
Crypto
Cryptocurrency instruments can be traded on every GFN programme where they are available on the platform. They are contracts on the price, not coins, and GFN notes their trading hours and leverage may differ from other classes. Volatility makes the daily loss limit - 3% on Instant, 5% elsewhere - the binding rule.
Not offered
What GFNdoes not offer
Worth knowing before you buy, rather than after.
Exchange-traded futures
GFN accounts use the instruments made available through the GFN trading platform. You may use external futures markets for analysis, but orders for your GFN account must be executed using supported GFN instruments. Index and commodity instruments on the account track many of the same underlying markets, without being futures contracts.
Read the FAQ answer →Individual company shares
Single stocks are not among the instrument classes GFN publishes. Index instruments give exposure to a benchmark of shares, not to any one company.

The risk limitsby programme
None of these change with the instrument. The more an instrument moves, the more the tightest daily limit binds.
