FAQ

Common questions

Where does the live XAU/USD price on this page come from?

The live price is drawn from a market data feed and shown as a reference, with a recent figure around 4275.0. It is not your broker's executable quote. Your platform's bid and ask, which include its spread, are the prices that decide whether an order fills.

Why is my broker's gold quote slightly different from this one?

Broker quotes carry their own spread and come from their own liquidity providers, so they rarely match a reference feed to the cent. Differences also appear in fast markets when one source updates a moment later. Compare the mid-price, not the ask, when you check the gap.

Is the price shown delayed?

The page is built to show a current reference price, but any feed can lag, and the delay depends on the provider and your connection. Treat it as indicative. Before you act, confirm the live quote in MT4, MT5, cTrader or the FxPro app, where your order will actually be executed.

Can I use this price to calculate my margin?

Yes, as an estimate. Enter the reference price into the margin calculator alongside your lot size and leverage. At 1:200, a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 margin at the reference price. Your broker recalculates margin from its own live quote, so the final figure can differ slightly.

What does the price around 4275.0 mean for a 0.10-lot position?

It means the notional value of 0.10 lot, which is 10 oz, is about A$ terms converted from US dollars at that price. The exact dollar exposure depends on the AUD/USD rate your account uses. Run the position size and pip value calculators to see the risk in your own currency.
