  • Tailor your strategy. Keep within your risk threshold using standard forex trading features including limit orders, take profits, stop losses, trailing stops, and personalized leverage.
  • Trade intuitively, in real-time. Take advantage of real-time prices with nominal gold spreads to speculate on the price movements of gold relative to either the U.S. dollar or Japanese yen.
