from one ounce

Spot gold and silver against the dollar and the euro, plus platinum and palladium. Metals often move when currencies do not, which makes them a useful second lens on the same news.

why trade it here

Metals, done properly

  1. 01

    Gold in small sizes

    Trade from 0.01 lots, which is one ounce of gold, so a first position does not have to be a large one.

  2. 02

    Two quote currencies

    Gold and silver are quoted in both US dollars and euros so you can keep exposure in the currency you think in.

  3. 03

    Clear margin

    Margin is a fixed percentage of the position value and shown on the ticket before you send it.
