WHY GOLD
Central banks buy it. Currencies are measured against it. When markets shake, money comes home to gold.
How it works
HOW GOLD TRADING WORKS.
A gold CFD tracks the spot price of gold in US dollars. You never hold the bar — you hold a contract on its price, so you can go long when you expect strength, or short when you expect a pullback.
Gold moves on real yields, the US dollar, central-bank buying and risk sentiment. That is why it trends — and why it is our flagship. Prices are quoted to 9999 fineness spot.

Worked example
Opening the position
XAUUSD is quoted 2,400.00 / 2,400.30. Expecting strength, you buy 1 lot (100 oz) at 2,400.30.
Closing the position
Two days later gold trades 2,428.10 / 2,428.40. You close by selling 1 lot at 2,428.10.
Result
Price move: 2,428.10 − 2,400.30 = 27.80
27.80 × 100 oz × 1 lot
Gross profit: US$2,780
