Pros
- Backed by a real FSCA license in South Africa under FSP number 48896
- Also holds a Seychelles FSA securities dealer license for other regions
- Runs both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 with five separate account types
- Backs client funds with a stated 1,000,000 dollar liability insurance policy

Cons
- One independent tracker still rates the old Global GT license status as unverified
- A 2021 user complaint described promised profits and funds that never arrived
- Vanuatu and Cyprus entities serve only professional clients, not everyday retail
- Leverage up to 1:5000 on some accounts is far above safe levels for new traders
- Not available to residents of the United States, European Union, or Canada
Global GT began in 2015 as a South African trading brand run by GT IO Markets, licensed by the Financial Sector Conduct Authority. Its website now redirects completely to FXGT, a wider brand covering linked companies in South Africa, Seychelles, Vanuatu, Cyprus, and Mauritius.
FXGT offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 across five account types, with leverage as high as 1:1000, or even 1:5000 on its Optimus account, and spreads from 0 pips on some accounts. The Vanuatu and Cyprus entities only serve eligible counterparties, not everyday retail clients, so most individual traders sign up under the Seychelles or South African license instead.
One tracker lists the old Global GT Cyprus and Vanuatu licenses as unverified, and logged a 2021 complaint about a phone agent who promised large weekly profits before funds went missing. FXGT does not serve the United States, the European Union, Canada, or Ukraine. No live deposit bonus could be confirmed here, since promotions vary by region.
