Why Trade Metals with RoboForex

Enjoy the benefits of trading metal CFDs with RoboForex

For Pro and ProCent accounts

Leverage up to 1:2000

Unlike buying physical metal, gold and silver CFDs let you open both long (buy) and short (sell) positions, allowing you to trade in both rising and falling markets. While leverage can amplify potential profits, it also increases the risk of losses. Always use appropriate risk management.

Why Trade Metals CFDs?

Precious metals trading on the same terminal and the same account as your Forex pairs

  • Gold CFDs

    Gold is the most heavily traded metal on the platform and the reference point for the sector. It responds to real interest rates, the dollar, and central bank buying rather than industrial cycles, which is why it often moves when equities stall.

    Trading gold works like any currency pair: XAUUSD quotes gold against the dollar, one lot is 100 ounces, and you can trade gold online from 0.01 lot.

  • Silver CFDs

    Silver follows the same drivers as gold but reacts harder to them. Roughly half of annual demand is industrial, so it reacts to manufacturing data as well as to the monetary factors that move gold – expect wider percentage swings both ways.

    To trade silver, open XAGUSD the way you would gold: the silver CFD has a 5,000-ounce lot and a 200% margin requirement, so the same exposure ties up twice the margin.

  • Platinum CFDs

    Platinum is an industrial metal first. Most demand comes from autocatalysts, industry, and jewellery, so the price tracks vehicle production and emissions rules far more closely than it tracks gold.

    The market is a fraction of the size of gold or silver, which makes moves abrupt. Platinum is not available as a spot CFD, and trades as metal ETFs on R StocksTrader.

  • Palladium CFDs

    Palladium is the narrowest of these four markets and the most volatile. Demand sits almost entirely in catalytic converters, so it swings on vehicle production and on substitution: refiners switch between palladium and platinum when the gap between them widens.

    Palladium is not available as a spot CFD, and trades as metal ETFs on R StocksTrader.

FAQ

Metals trading means taking a position on the price of gold, silver, or another metal. With CFDs, you trade the price movement itself and can go long or short, without owning, storing, or insuring the physical metal.

Open an MT4 or MT5 account, deposit at least 10 USD, find XAUUSD in Market Watch, and place a buy or sell order starting from 0.01 lot. The Trading Calculator on our website shows the margin required before placing a trade.

XAUUSD trades from 01:05 to 23:55 server time (EET), Monday to Friday, with a 70-minute daily break. The same schedule applies to XAGUSD and XAUEUR.

The minimum spread is 0 pips on Prime and ECN accounts. On Pro and ProCent accounts, the average spread is 18 pips, with no commission charged. All metal spreads are floating.

Leverage is available up to 1:2000 on Pro and ProCent accounts, 1:500 on ECN accounts, and 1:300 on Prime accounts. Gold uses the standard margin requirement, so the full account leverage applies. Silver has a 200% margin requirement, meaning that leverage of 1:2000 on the account effectively corresponds to 1:1000 for XAGUSD.

The minimum deposit is 10 USD. The smallest position on XAUUSD is 0.01 lot, which corresponds to one troy ounce of gold.

Prime offers the tightest spreads and the lowest commission for high-volume trading, while Pro offers maximum leverage with no commission. ProCent is suitable for testing strategies and algo trading on a cent account.

Trading XAGUSD works much like trading gold, with two key differences. One lot is 5,000 ounces instead of 100, and the margin requirement is 200% instead of 100%.

For example, on a Pro account with 1:2000 leverage, a 0.01-lot gold position requires around 1.70 USD of margin. The same 0.01-lot position in silver requires around 2.05 USD, even though its USD value is lower, because silver has twice the margin requirement.

You can trade platinum and palladium through ETFs on R StocksTrader, alongside ETFs providing exposure to copper, nickel, aluminium, and iridium.

No. Negative balance protection applies to all RoboForex accounts, so your losses cannot exceed the funds in your account. However, CFDs are leveraged products, and you can still lose your entire account balance.
