Gary Tilkin is a 30-year veteran in futures and currencies trading who started at Merrill Lynch and then moved to another national brokerage firm before breaking out on his own. Tilkin published a highly regarded market letter and advisory service trading in the futures markets. Following the success of his market letter, Tilkin raised substantial funds to manage for clients around the world as a professionally licensed trader. Tilkin confirmed his abilities to manage risk for his clients while earning a reputation for offering unsurpassed customer service.

As his clients increasingly requested services in the foreign currency markets (forex), Tilkin created Global Forex Trading, Division of Global Futures & Forex, Ltd. As one of the first brokerage firms in the U.S. to offer online forex trading, his company was one of the early adopters of Internet technology by building forex trading software that allowed worldwide access to the market. Gary Tilkin has been involved with every facet of the trading business, from being a customer and professional trader to a broker and managing executive. This extensive experience enabled him to see the market potential of the emerging forex market as an alternative to traditional investment markets. Today, Tilkin's company serves clients in more than 100 countries throughout the world and is a world-leading online currency trading firm. Tilkin drives GFT, its management team, and employees to deliver the best possible products and customer service to forex clients, while building upon the most advanced forex trading software available.
