The gold market
Why traders follow gold
Gold is one of the most widely traded instruments in global markets, with deep liquidity and a long history as a reference asset. As a CFD it can be traded in both directions, without holding or storing the physical metal.
Extended market hours
Gold trades from 01:00 to 24:00 server time, Monday to Friday, following the COMEX and LBMA sessions.
Two-way market access
Open long or short positions on XAU/USD depending on your view — CFDs do not require ownership of the underlying metal.
Part of a broader portfolio
Trade gold alongside forex, indices, energies, crypto and stocks from the same MetaTrader 4 account.
Leverage up to 1:200
Metals are available with leverage up to 1:200. Leverage magnifies both potential gains and potential losses.

Market spread
Before you trade gold
Gold prices move in both directions and can be affected by interest rate expectations, currency movements, geopolitical events and shifts in market sentiment. Movement in your favour is never assured.
Trading gold CFDs with leverage magnifies both potential gains and potential losses. A position of a given size requires only a fraction of its value as margin, which means losses can accumulate faster than on an unleveraged position.
Spreads on XAU/USD are variable and may widen around major economic announcements, at market open and close, or during periods of reduced liquidity. Slippage may occur in fast-moving markets.
