What is Darling Mirror, exactly?

It is an information site about gold (XAU/USD) for Australian readers, publishing explanations, worked examples and calculators. It is not a broker, not a licensed adviser and not a party to any trade you place. Nothing on the site is personal advice, and using it does not create any advisory relationship between you and the desk.

What risk am I taking by trading gold?

Trading gold on leverage carries a real risk of losing more than you expect, and losses can arrive quickly because a 100 oz lot moves in large dollar steps for each 0.01 pip. Leverage up to 1:200 is a cap, not a setting to aim at. Position sizing and a stop are risk controls, not guarantees.

Are the calculators a promise of what I will get?

No. The position size, pip value, margin, profit and pivot point calculators apply formulas to the figures you enter, and the output is arithmetic, not a quote or a forecast. Your actual result depends on the price you get, the costs your provider applies and how the position is closed. Check the live figures on your platform.

What is the site liable for if I rely on it?

The site is provided as general information, and you remain responsible for your own trading decisions. It does not accept liability for losses arising from reliance on a page, an example or a calculator result, to the extent the law allows. Australian consumer guarantees that cannot be excluded continue to apply.

Darling Mirror terms of use

Q: Who serves Australian clients, and what should I check before funding?

The entity named for Australia is FxPro UK Limited, and the caveat is exact: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC. It does not hold an ASIC licence, so Australian residents deal with an offshore entity — check this before funding. That affects which dispute and compensation arrangements apply to you.

Educational material, not advice

This site is educational material only, and it is not advice and not an offer to buy or sell any instrument. Nothing here is personal financial advice, and nothing takes account of your objectives, your financial situation or your needs. If you need advice, speak to a licensed adviser who knows your circumstances, because this desk is not licensed and does not provide that service.

The pages explain how gold (XAU/USD) trading works: one standard lot is 100 oz, one pip is 0.01, and the reference price used in examples is about 4275.0. Those are definitions and worked examples, not recommendations. Reading them does not make a trade suitable for you, and no page here should be read as telling you to place one.

The Affiliate Relationship in Full

Darling Mirror earns money through affiliate relationships with brokers, including FxPro. This means that if you click a link to FxPro from this site and open an account, the site may receive a commission or payment from FxPro. This payment comes at no additional cost to you and does not change the price you pay for trading services. The relationship is disclosed so you can judge the information with that in mind.

Affiliate payments do not influence the factual content. The site aims to describe costs, leverage, and platform features accurately, using only the facts provided. However, you should assume that any link to a broker is an affiliate link unless stated otherwise. The site does not rank brokers based on payments, and the presence of a link is not a recommendation. You should always compare multiple providers and read their terms before funding.

The affiliate relationship does not make Darling Mirror a representative of FxPro or any other broker. The site cannot open accounts, approve applications, or resolve disputes. Any agreement you enter into is between you and the broker, and the broker's terms and conditions govern that relationship. If you have an issue with a broker, you must raise it directly with them and, if necessary, with their regulator.

The Law That Applies to These Terms

These terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia, and you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales. This applies regardless of where you access the site from. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in full force. The site is operated from Australia, and the terms are drafted to comply with Australian law where applicable.

The site does not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence and is not regulated by ASIC as a financial product adviser. FxPro, the broker mentioned, is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC and does not hold an ASIC licence, so Australian residents deal with an offshore entity. You should check this before funding. The site's content is not intended to constitute an offer or solicitation in any jurisdiction where such an offer would be unlawful.

If you access the site from outside Australia, you are responsible for compliance with local laws. The site makes no representation that the content is appropriate or available in all locations. Any dispute arising from these terms will be handled in the courts of New South Wales, and you waive any objection to venue. This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer laws in your country of residence.

Dated figures and affiliate links

Figures on this site are dated and must be verified with the broker before you rely on them. Costs, terms and entity arrangements change, and a number that was accurate when we read the broker's documents may not be accurate now. Always check the broker's own current schedule for the account type you would actually use.

Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means the reader's relationship is with the broker, not with this desk. If you open an account through a link, the broker may pay us a referral fee at no extra cost to you, and the broker's terms govern the account, the money in it and any dispute. The regulator fact we rely on remains that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC. It does not hold an ASIC licence, so Australian residents deal with an offshore entity — check this before funding.

Risk of loss with CFDs on gold

CFDs on gold carry a high risk of loss and most retail accounts lose money. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses, and the maximum available to Australian clients at the broker we cover is up to 1:200, which is a cap rather than a setting to aim at. At that cap a 0.10-lot position needs about $85.50 in margin, but margin is not the most you can lose, and a fast move can take you past it.

Only risk money you can afford to lose, and understand the product before you fund an account. Past performance tells you nothing about what happens next, and no page on this site guarantees an outcome. If you do not understand how a leveraged gold position behaves when the market gaps, that is a reason to stop rather than proceed.

How Changes to These Terms Are Published

Changes to these terms are published on this page, and the updated version takes effect when it is posted. The site may update the terms at any time without prior notice. You should review this page regularly to stay informed. The date of the latest revision will be indicated at the top or bottom of the page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

Material changes will be highlighted or summarised in a notice on the site, but the site is not obligated to provide individual notification. It is your responsibility to check for updates. If you do not agree with the changes, you should stop using the site. The site may also modify or discontinue features at any time, and such changes do not constitute a breach of these terms.

The current version of the terms supersedes all previous versions. Any failure to enforce a provision does not waive the right to enforce it later. If you have questions about the terms, you should contact the site using the details provided. The terms are available in English only, and translations, if any, are for convenience and the English version prevails.

What Darling Mirror Provides and What It Does Not

Darling Mirror is an information service that publishes educational material about trading gold (XAU/USD) and other instruments. It does not provide personal financial advice, does not manage money, does not execute trades, and does not hold client funds.

If you need advice tailored to you, consult a licensed professional who can consider your full circumstances.

All numbers on the site, including the reference price of 4275.0 for gold and the margin example at 1:200, are illustrative and may not reflect live market conditions. They are provided to explain how calculations work, not to predict outcomes. You should verify any figure with your broker or platform before acting. The site does not guarantee accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information, and you use it at your own risk.
