What is a GSLO?

GSLOs are ideal for traders who want lower margins, are trading in volatile markets or who don't want to risk more than their initial deposit. GSLOs are similar to standard Stop Loss orders, but with a key difference: they guarantee to close your trade at the exact price specified by you, regardless of underlying market volatility and gapping.

By setting the exact closeout level upfront you determine your maximum risk, resulting in lower margin required to place the trade. This also makes GSLOs a limited-risk product - you cannot lose more than your initial margin if the market moves against you.

GSLOs act like insurance that you only pay for when you need. They are free to place and you only pay a small premium if the GSLO is triggered, providing a cost-effective method of managing your risk.
