FAQs
Why should I choose Global Prime?
We believe that a trader should focus on their trading and not their broker. Our purpose is predicated on ensuring that our interests are aligned with yours. We believe wholeheartedly in the relationship being mutually beneficial and that ultimately, the broker serves the needs of the client above all else. How does this affect your trading? We believe that by taking the conflict of interest that arises from brokers profiting off client losses out of the equation, you can focus on your trading and not your broker. Accordingly, we have made it our mission to create an environment that is conducive to profitable trading as at the end of the day, when you win we win.
