GNT Capital LTD is the counterparty to every trade you make, which clause 1 of the customer agreement states outright. Its sales pages say the opposite: that it sends trades straight to outside liquidity providers to remove conflicts of interest.
On a principal basis, as your counterparty, means the broker takes the other side of your trade itself. Your loss is then the firm’s gain, so it has an interest in how your trade ends.
Liquidity providers are outside banks and brokers.
Why this matters
When you lose, GNT Capital is the one that gains, because your trade never leaves the firm. Clause 2 also lets it execute your orders with itself unless you object in writing first.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Standard wordingHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.
The Client further acknowledges that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, GNT CAPITAL LTD will act as counterparty to all transactions entered into under this Agreement.
Where it sits: section 31 of 59 in the Terms & Conditions, 53% of the way through.We counted the numbered sections in the Terms & Conditions. This clause sits in section 31 of 59, about 53% of the way through. A fee written on the first page and the same fee written near the end are not the same disclosure.
Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must publish a conflicts of interest policy and tell a retail client when the firm deals on its own account against them. GNT Capital states it is your counterparty in clause 1 and publishes no conflicts of interest policy.
Global Next Trade is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
- Worse together with Exhibit 3Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.GNT Capital quotes the price, takes the other side of the trade, and can then claim back profit it decides came from a price of its own that was wrong.
