Understanding Gold Trading Spreads with FxView

We offer competitive spreads on gold trading pairs including XAU/USD, XAU/EUR, and XAU/INR. Our spread structure varies based on market conditions, trading volume, and account type. Standard accounts feature spreads starting from 0.3 pips while VIP accounts enjoy tighter spreads from 0.1 pips.

Fixed vs Variable Spreads

Our platform provides both fixed and variable spread options for gold trading. Fixed spreads remain constant regardless of market volatility, offering predictable trading costs. Variable spreads fluctuate based on market liquidity and economic events affecting gold prices.

During major economic announcements or market opening hours, spreads may widen temporarily. We maintain transparent pricing with real-time spread display on our MetaTrader platforms. Our average spread on XAU/USD remains competitive at 0.25 pips during normal trading conditions.

Spread Calculation Methods

We calculate spreads as the difference between bid and ask prices expressed in pips. For gold trading, one pip equals $0.01 per ounce for standard lots. Our pricing engine updates spreads every millisecond using institutional liquidity providers and market makers.

Commission structure varies by account type with standard accounts featuring spread-only pricing. Premium and VIP accounts may include commission charges starting from $3 per lot with reduced spreads. We provide detailed cost calculations in our client portal for complete transparency.

Leverage Options for Gold Trading

We provide flexible leverage options up to 1:500 for gold trading depending on your account type and regulatory requirements. Leverage allows you to control larger positions with smaller capital requirements, amplifying both potential profits and losses.

Our risk management system automatically calculates margin requirements based on your selected leverage ratio. For XAU/USD trading with 1:100 leverage, you need $20 margin to control one standard lot worth $2,000. Higher leverage ratios reduce margin requirements but increase risk exposure.

Margin Requirements and Calculations

Margin calculations follow the formula: Required Margin = (Contract Size × Current Price) ÷ Leverage Ratio. We update margin requirements in real-time based on current gold prices and market volatility. Our platform displays available margin, used margin, and free margin in your account dashboard.

We implement automatic margin calls when your equity falls below 100% of required margin. Stop-out levels activate at 50% margin level to protect your account from excessive losses. Our risk management tools include negative balance protection for retail clients in India.

Leverage Restrictions and Regulations

SEBI regulations limit maximum leverage for retail clients to 1:100 on precious metals including gold. Professional clients may access higher leverage up to 1:500 subject to eligibility criteria and risk assessment. We verify client classification during account opening based on trading experience and financial status.

Our compliance system automatically applies appropriate leverage limits based on your client classification. We provide leverage adjustment options in your client portal with immediate effect on new positions. Existing positions maintain their original leverage until closure.
