- Fast Withdrawal (usually less than 24hrs)
- Fast Execution ( normal market condition)
- Huge Slippage in news times (straddle)
-Slow Execution ( fast market condition 10-20 seconds) and if price retrace so they fills you.
- GFT not for scalping, if u do they will move you to manual execution
-Outstanding Customer support, very helpful
- Fixed Spread

Overall GFT V good broker for Normal TA Trading and not for scalping and news trading.

Spreads suck? Do you use them? I find them to be very competetive and nearly fixed. I haven't had any of the problems you discuss.

Haven't noticed slow-ness during news, but I don't trade around announcements unless I already have a trade in.

I tend to agree about the spreads however they have a good technical charting system built in.
No such things a s a free lunch so the charting service is offset by the wideness of spread.
