Frequently Asked Questions
What does XAUUSD represent?
XAUUSD is a market symbol for gold quoted in US dollars. Contract size, settlement, bid and ask prices, and eligibility depend on the exact instrument and venue.
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.
