Frequently Asked Questions
What is XAUUSD?
XAUUSD is the international trading symbol for the price of gold (XAU) quoted in US dollars (USD). It represents how many US dollars are needed to buy one troy ounce (31.1 grams) of gold. It is the most widely traded gold pair across both Forex brokers and crypto exchanges.
Where can I trade an XAU instrument?
This snapshot confirms XAU listings for Bybit, OKX, and Flipster. Other platform-XAU combinations remain unconfirmed. Verify the exact symbol, current listing, hours, limits, fees, funding schedule, and eligibility at the linked official instrument source.
What is the difference between a CFD and a perpetual contract for gold?
A CFD commonly quotes a spread; a perpetual commonly uses maker/taker fees and funding. Trading hours, settlement, contract size, and eligibility are instrument-specific rather than properties of every broker or exchange.
Is XAU trading available 24/7?
Do not infer hours from venue type. The current evidence snapshot does not establish one universal schedule; verify the trading hours for the exact XAU instrument at its official specification.
What is the minimum size to trade gold?
Minimum quantity is contract-specific. This page shows it only where an official instrument source confirms the unit; Unknown means it must be checked at the venue.
