THE FIVE MARKETS

XAUUSD. Gold. A clear risk framework.

Gold. A clear risk framework.

The instrument

XAUUSD expresses a gold reference in US dollars. Real yields, the dollar, liquidity, and shifts in risk appetite can affect its price.

Trading specification

Maximum leverage 1:8. Planned entry-to-stop risk 1.00% of initial balance per order. Minimum quantity step 0.01 underlying units. Bid/ask-aware USD simulation. Gold uses 0.01-unit quantity steps and a lower per-order planned-risk candidate. This sandbox specification is not an approved broker contract.

Execution and data

Charts use mid prices for context; buys execute at ask and sells at bid under the disclosed slippage model. Synthetic prices are explicitly labelled. A verified provider mapping, commercial data licence, trading hours, and contract specification are required for live data.

A disciplined order

A protective stop is required. Daily equity and intraday trailing controls apply to floating results. The candidate 5-second discretionary hold treats genuine protective stops separately.
