GFThedge (GFT) is a brand of CCI Limited, a Company registered in Mauritius and Authorised by FSC Mauritius, with Authorisation number AU2001208. We act as an institutional trading firm and an affiliate partner for AvaTrade, and we do not offer investment advice. GFThedge does not act as a broker; all trading accounts are opened through third-party brokers, such as AvaTrade. Some trading accounts can be opened through a third-party provider for legal and administrative purposes. The market in which we operate is considered high-risk because it has the capacity to generate high returns either in a short or long period of time; however, there can also be losses. We consider this type of trading not suitable for everyone; in most cases, we recommend it for people who have formal education or are in a good financial position with acceptable financial knowledge. Though you might view our information in the public domain, not all information on our website and trading platform constitutes investment advice, or applies to visitors in certain regions. Your account value can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you originally deposited. Past performance is not a guide to future performance, and some positions can be traded or need to be held for the long term.

Our profit is generated through charging spreads and performance fees. It's essential to emphasise that any information provided here is solely for informational purposes and should not be regarded as investment advice, trading advice, or any other type of advice. Trading involves substantial risk of experiencing rapid financial losses. Under FSC rules, physical Gold delivery is not a regulated activity.

Risk Warning: Futures, CFDs, Derivatives, FX and other similar financial instruments are intricate and carry a substantial risk of experiencing rapid financial losses (it is possible to lose the entire capital), primarily due to leverage. It is crucial to carefully assess whether you have the financial capacity to withstand such risks before engaging in trading or investing in these activities. Please be aware that the Company is in no way affiliated with and assumes no responsibility or liability for activities conducted by individuals or entities in connection with or resulting from this type of trading or investing, whether wholly or partially. We strongly advise you to thoroughly review our Risk Disclosure before proceeding.
