Gold (XAUUSD) trading conditions
The Razor account advertises gold from 0.08 but charges 3.50 USD per lot per side on top, so 7.00 USD round turn. Added together that is about 0.15 all-in, which is the number shown at the top of this page. The Standard account is spread-only with no separate commission.
