Leverage & Margin Calculator
Key Trading Conditions

Conditions That Apply
Across All Accounts

01 — EXECUTION MODEL

Market Maker (Standard) / ECN-NDD (Pro & Prime)

Standard accounts use a Market Maker model where GBH Markets acts as counterparty. Pro and Prime accounts use an ECN/NDD bridge routing orders directly to external liquidity providers. Both models are fully disclosed and FSC-compliant.

02 — SLIPPAGE POLICY

Slippage on Market Orders

Slippage may occur during volatile market conditions (major economic releases, market open/close). On Pro and Prime ECN accounts, orders fill at the best available market price at the moment of execution — which may be better or worse than the requested price during fast markets.

03 — ORDER TYPES

Accepted Order Types

All accounts accept: Market, Limit, Stop, Stop-Limit, and Trailing Stop orders. Pending orders are held on our server and execute automatically. Standard accounts may experience requotes on market orders; Pro and Prime accounts have zero requotes.

04 — SCALPING & HEDGING

No Restrictions on Strategy

Scalping and hedging are fully permitted on all GBH Markets account tiers. There are no minimum hold times, no restrictions on trade frequency, and no strategy type limitations. Expert Advisors of all types are supported on MT4 and MT5.

05 — INACTIVITY FEE

$10/Month After 90 Days

An inactivity fee of $10 per month applies to accounts with no trading activity for 90 consecutive calendar days. The fee is deducted from the account balance if funds are present. Accounts with a zero balance are not charged. Demo accounts are exempt.

06 — RESTRICTED JURISDICTIONS

Unavailable in Certain Regions

GBH Markets services are not available to residents of the United States, Canada, Japan, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Sudan, or other FATF blacklisted jurisdictions. Geo-restriction is applied at account registration. It is the client's responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws.

Order Execution

How Your Orders Are
Executed at GBH

GBH Markets operates two execution models depending on account tier. Both are compliant with FSC Mauritius requirements and are fully disclosed in our Execution Policy.

Understanding your execution model is important: it affects how your order price is determined, whether requotes can occur, and how your order interacts with the broader market.

Standard — Market Maker (MM)
GBH Markets acts as the counterparty on Standard account trades. Orders are filled internally against GBH's own book. Requotes may occur on market orders during high volatility. Best execution is maintained in compliance with our Execution Policy.
Pro & Prime — ECN / No Dealing Desk
Pro and Prime orders route automatically to our institutional liquidity pool — bypassing any GBH dealing desk. Orders fill at the best available market price. Zero requotes. Sub-30ms average execution latency. No human intervention in order flow.
Best Execution Factors
GBH considers: (1) Price — best available; (2) Speed — sub-30ms target; (3) Likelihood of execution — especially on large orders; (4) Order size; (5) Nature of the order. Full Execution Policy available in the Legal Documents section.
