Gold (XAUUSD) trading conditions
On the Raw Spread and Zero accounts, XAUUSD typically trades from about 0.10 with a small commission, which is competitive for gold scalpers and intraday traders. The Standard account rolls the cost into the spread. Execution on gold is stable in normal conditions, though like everywhere spreads widen around high-impact news.
Key facts
Verdict
A strong first choice for cost-sensitive gold traders who want tight XAUUSD spreads and fast withdrawals. Best for scalpers and intraday traders outside the US.
