Frequently asked questions

How do I trade gold at FxPro?
You trade gold as a CFD on spot gold (XAU/USD): you open an FxPro account, fund it, choose the gold instrument in MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader or FxPro Edge, then buy (long) if you expect the price to rise or sell (short) if you expect it to fall. You never take delivery of the physical metal.
What is the spread on gold at FxPro?
Gold (XAU/USD) spreads start from about 2.5 pips on FxPro's spread-only Standard accounts, or from roughly 1.0 pip on Raw+ and cTrader accounts, which charge a commission instead. Spreads are variable and widen at less liquid times, so confirm the live spread in your platform.
What leverage can I use on gold at FxPro?
FxPro offers leverage up to 1:200 depending on the instrument and your account. Higher leverage increases both potential gains and potential losses, so the margin requirement for gold is shown in your platform before you open a position.
Can I trade gold on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 at FxPro?
Yes. Gold is available across all of FxPro's platforms, including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and the web-based FxPro Edge, as well as the FxPro mobile app.
Is there an overnight fee for holding gold?
Yes. Holding a gold position overnight incurs a swap (rollover), which can be a debit or a credit depending on the direction of your trade. Eligible Islamic (swap-free) accounts do not pay overnight swap interest. Check the current swap rates in your platform.
When can I trade gold at FxPro?
Spot gold trades nearly around the clock on weekdays, from Sunday evening to Friday evening (GMT) with a short daily break. The market is closed over the weekend. Confirm the exact session times in your FxPro platform.
Does FxPro offer gold trading?
Yes. FxPro lists gold (XAU/USD) within its metals range, traded as a CFD alongside silver. You can go long or short on all of FxPro's platforms — MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and FxPro Edge — without owning the physical metal.
How can I trade gold in Australia?
FxPro states that it accepts clients resident in Australia, so a Australian trader can open an account, fund it in AUD and trade spot gold (XAU/USD) as a CFD. You pick the gold instrument in your platform and go long or short. Availability and terms can change, so confirm the current details before opening an account.
Can I start trading gold with $100?
FxPro's minimum deposit is $100, so you can fund an account at that level and trade gold. Because gold is leveraged, position size and risk matter more than the deposit — many traders practise on the free demo first and only risk money they can afford to lose.
What is a gold CFD?
A gold CFD (contract for difference) tracks the price of spot gold (XAU/USD) without you owning any metal. Your profit or loss is the difference between your entry and exit price, multiplied by your position size. CFDs are leveraged, which magnifies both gains and losses, and an overnight swap applies if you hold past the daily rollover.
What is the contract size for gold at FxPro?
One standard lot of gold (XAU/USD) is 100 troy ounces. You can trade in fractional lots from 0.01 (one ounce), so position size scales to your account. At 1:200 leverage the margin required is about 0.5% of the position's value; the exact margin is shown in your platform before you open the trade.
Can I short (sell) gold at FxPro?
Yes. Because gold is traded as a CFD, you can go short (sell) to aim to profit from a falling gold price, or long (buy) for a rising price, without ever owning the metal. Short positions are subject to the same spread, leverage and overnight swap rules as long positions.
Is there a commission to trade gold at FxPro?
On the spread-only Standard accounts there is no separate commission — the cost is built into the gold spread (from about 2.5 pips). On Raw+ and cTrader accounts the spread is tighter (from about 1.0 pip) but a commission of around $3.50 per lot per side applies instead. Check the current figures in your platform.

Reviews

Gold traders are mostly happy here — they like being able to trade XAU/USD straight off the same platforms and rate the fees fair for it. The recurring gripe matches the spreads page: the gold spread can widen noticeably at quiet hours, so a few say check it before you size up. Net: a popular market to trade at FxPro, just trade it when liquidity is there.

★★★☆☆
FxPro is very Okay. I have been with them for some time now. Their spread on currencies and Oil is very competitive but their spread on Gold is horrible ranging between 30pips to 45 pips in…

Only 3.5$ for a side of a trade is actually good pricing, when fx majors start from 0️⃣ pips... the same goes to gold plus a little of 10 cents on the spread, and this is reasonble.

Gold has still been pumping last few month, despite everrything that happened... Loving the fees, and love how I can just long it with x200 and be rewarded for it.
