I don't trade gold, but it is more influenced by world events, mining, supply and demand and seasonal effects than forex is.

thanks.

and to make my question clear for others, i meant is it different in lot size, leverage, excuting the trade.

[lionel.leo]

hmm.. looks like nobody answering the main question asked i really wanna know how can we trade gold n view its charts in metatrader under this broker - fxopen?

[cesar]

hi lionel, i think that the margin must be more great than the margin required for the forex, don't forget that you can easily win 2000 or 3000 pips in just one intraday trade, so you can loose that qty too... too dangerous, but very very profitable.!! i think i try it when i have the required margin.... i hope that manager reply this thread fast.

see you

I meant does i have to buy certain ammount of gold?
what 0.1 lot mean? (in forex 1:500 leverage 0.1lot standard account = 20 dollar from my balance) what does it mean in gold?

what margin must i have (as a minimum) to open a trade ?

That what what i meant

thank you for passing buy

Oh dear, no one answer this.

When you decide to trade Gold, always calculate your margin requirement because it's a price based margin trade.

1 Standard Lot means you put the bet exactly with the price level.

Example if Gold now is 800.00, it means with 1 S-Lot you put 800$ of your capital in the bet.
If Gold is now at 810.00, it means you put 810$ in the bet.

This is for the Bet Margin.


What about total money requirement for opening 1 S-Lot?

Careful when you had not enough left margin to play gold. The normal spread is 1$ or 100 pips down. It means you will need 100$ as preserve capital to outcome the broker spread.

So the calculation is:

For 1 S-Lot = you will need 100$ + Current Price exactly.

Example: Gold Ask is 810.00 now. That means you will need 100$ + 810$ = 910$ to LONG 1 S-Lot.

Of course you will need more than this number for risk management.

What about mini account?
Divide it into 10. It means 1 S-Lot is 10 times of 1 Mini Lot. That makes 1 M-Lot is 81$+10$=91$ for opening. Of course profit and loss is divided into 10 times smaller than Standard Lot.
