About DealBook® FX 2
When we built our standalone Windows application for forex trading called DealBook® FX, we had no idea it would win over the world's most respected traders. We've developed DealBook® FX Version 2 on that same reliable, stable and proven standalone forex trading software-platform.
Whether you are a fundamental trader or technical trader, a forex beginner or professional forex money manager, DealBook® FX 2 is the FX trading platform designed for forex traders by forex traders. Finally, forex traders have access to all of the resources once thought to be only available to the world's largest banks.
Multiple Currencies Trading Platform
Our award-winning trading platform, DealBook® FX 2, supports multiple currencies so forex traders do not need to familiarize themselves with another base currency when trading forex with GFT. This new DealBook® FX 2 feature supports major denominations, including the Euro, Japanese yen, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Great Britain pound and the Polish Zloty.
Our DealBook® FX offers you a natural setting for determining your real-time profits/losses and understanding your account statements freeing up your time to focus on your forex trading. The new multicurrency feature is one of many good reasons to trade forex with GFT.

INTER TRADER EXCHANGE (ITX)
Ever wondered what it would be like if you could trade directly with another trader* through your forex broker? The ITX feature of DealBook® FX 2 is a liquid-matching system allowing those conducting online forex trading to transact with each other inside the current, tight bid/offer spreads provided by GFT.
The ITX system allows traders to trade with each other* with the possibility of obtaining an even tighter spread than may be offered by GFT at a particular moment in time. With ITX, traders can make their own markets for execution with other businesses and individuals conducting online forex trading.*
Not only are you able to transact on up to 20 million on most major currency pairs during GFT hours at 3 to 5 pip spreads, but you get the benefit of placing or hitting a deal possibly at a better price than what GFT is currently quoting.
A $5 fee is charged to the "initiator" (the trader who places a bid or offer) and the "aggressor" (the trader who hits the bid or offer). If GFT is the aggressor to the initiators' bids or offers, no fees are charged to the trader.
Let's use the following example:
GFT is currently pricing the EUR/USD market at 1.2000 bid and 1.2003 offer. This means that GFT is willing to buy from the client at 1.2000 and sell to the client at 1.2003.
ITX allows the client to place a bid for all other clients at 1.2001 and if another client wants that price they can hit the bid and sell at 1.2001 instead of 1.2000 that GFT was offering. The client who placed the 1.2001 gets to buy at 1.2001 instead of 1.2003.
Client B "hits" Client A's bid and is short from 1.2001 instead of 1.2000, which is a savings of 1 pip or roughly $10 per $100,000 in volume.
Client A accepts the offer and is long from 1.2001 instead of 1.2003, which is a savings of 2 pips or roughly $20 per $100,000 in volume.
Thus, the spread between the bid and the offer is negated and both parties get the better price.
