Placing Your First Gold Trade

Find XAU/USD in the Market Watch section and analyze price trends using your selected indicators. Right-click the gold symbol and select “New Order” to open the order ticket. Enter your trade size in lots (0.01 lot equals 1 ounce), then set stop-loss and take-profit parameters according to your risk limits. Choose market execution for immediate fills or pending orders to trigger trades at designated prices. Execution speed averages 0.3 seconds for market orders.

• Analyze gold price charts on multiple timeframes
• Determine position size based on your account balance
• Set stop-loss to limit losses up to 2% of equity
• Define take-profit targets aligned with risk/reward ratio
• Track trade status via mobile or desktop apps

Risk Management Strategies for Gold Trading

Our platform incorporates risk management tools to protect traders from large losses. Position sizing calculators determine optimal lot sizes based on risk percentage and available balance. We advise limiting risk exposure to no more than 2% per gold trade. Stop-loss orders automatically close losing trades at preset levels. Take-profit orders secure profits when target prices are met. Trailing stops adjust dynamically as gold price moves favorably.

Leverage and Margin Requirements

Leverage increases potential profits and losses by magnifying position size. Micro accounts offer up to 1:500 leverage, requiring $2 margin per 0.01 lot. Standard accounts allow 1:200 leverage with $5 margin per 0.01 lot. Margin calls trigger when equity drops below 50% of required margin. Alerts are sent via SMS and email. Margin metrics display in real-time on all trading platforms.
