Overview

Forex.com (2001) is a large, well-regulated broker owned by StoneX, and one of the main choices for US traders alongside OANDA and IG.

Pros

  • Accepts US clients (NFA/CFTC)
  • Regulated in the UK, Australia and beyond
  • Wide platform choice including TradingView
  • Deep research and analysis
  • Long track record

Cons

  • Gold spreads around 0.30 are not the tightest
  • $100 minimum in some regions
  • US leverage is capped

Gold (XAUUSD) trading conditions

XAUUSD typically trades from about 0.30 on standard accounts, with commission-based raw pricing available in some regions. Fine for swing traders; scalpers outside the US can find cheaper.
