Gold (XAU/USD) on an Ezinvest account
- Gold trades as the XAU/USD CFD — the US-dollar price of one troy ounce — available on every Ezinvest account tier from Basic upwards.
- The standard contract is 100 troy ounces per 1.0 lot; micro positions from 0.01 lots (1 ounce) keep the exposure small.
- Spreads on gold are tier-dependent: the Basic account carries the widest pricing, while Gold and Platinum tiers trade noticeably tighter.
- Leverage on metals is typically set below the forex maximum — the exact cap depends on the servicing entity and appears in the contract specification.
- Opening the account follows the usual route: registration, KYC verification, a deposit from $250, then selecting XAU/USD in MT4 or the Sirix WebTrader.
- Overnight positions in gold accrue swap charges, which the terminal shows per night in the symbol specification.
- Gold is volatile: intraday moves of 1–2% are routine, so a stop-loss and modest position size are essential on a leveraged account.
