Executing Your First Gold Trade

Market Analysis Preparation

Begin your trade by analyzing live gold charts in the Market Watch window. Select XAU/USD under precious metals. Apply technical tools such as Moving Averages (20, 50, 200), RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Mark key support and resistance lines to identify entry and exit points. Use the economic calendar to track central bank announcements and geopolitical developments affecting gold prices.

Order Placement Process

Open the trade window by clicking “New Order” or pressing F9. Select XAU/USD as the trading symbol. Choose between Market Execution or Pending Orders based on your strategy. Input your desired lot size, respecting the minimum 0.01 lot size. Set stop loss and take profit levels to automate risk management. Submit the order; market orders fill instantly, while pending orders activate once the price reaches your target.

Managing Open Positions

Monitor your open gold trades from the terminal window. Modify stop loss and take profit levels anytime to adjust risk exposure. Use trailing stops to lock profits as prices move favorably. Close positions manually or rely on preset exit points. Our platform sends real-time notifications for margin calls and price alerts.

• Analyze gold trends with integrated technical tools
• Place orders quickly using the intuitive trade panel
• Use stop loss and take profit to protect capital
• Adjust open trades in real time for dynamic management
• Utilize trailing stops to maximize gains

Risk Management Strategies

Position Sizing Calculations

Calculate your position size based on account balance, risk tolerance, and stop loss distance. Use our built-in calculator by entering your available capital, risk percent per trade (typically 1-2%), and pip distance to stop loss. For example, with a 1000 USD account risking 2%, and a 100-pip stop loss, your position size would be 0.02 lots. Proper sizing prevents large losses and preserves capital for multiple trades.

Stop Loss and Take Profit Implementation

Set stop losses immediately after opening any position. Place stops below recent support for buys and above resistance for sells. Take profit targets should aim for at least double the stop loss distance to maintain risk-reward balance. Use trailing stops to automatically adjust stops as gold prices move favorably. This technique helps lock in profits while allowing for further gains.

Utilizing Margin and Leverage

Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. We provide leverage up to 1:20 on gold CFDs in Jordan, complying with local regulations. Calculate margin requirements before opening trades via the platform. Avoid overleveraging by limiting exposure to a fraction of your account balance. Monitor margin levels carefully to prevent forced liquidations during volatile market conditions.

Advanced Gold Trading Techniques

Scalping Strategies

Scalping targets small profit margins through rapid trades during high liquidity periods, especially the London-New York session overlap (17:00-20:00 Jordan time). Use 1-minute and 5-minute charts with tight spreads. Execute multiple trades daily aiming for 5-15 pip gains with stop losses of 10-20 pips. Essential tools include Level II market data, VPS hosting for minimal latency, and automated trading scripts.

Swing Trading Approaches

Swing trading holds positions for several days to capture larger price moves. Use 4-hour and daily charts to identify trends and key support/resistance zones. Hold trades 3-10 days with profit targets between 100-500 pips. Set wider stop losses of 50-100 pips to accommodate market fluctuations. Economic events like FOMC meetings provide opportunities for swing trades.

Technical Strategy Comparison

Each trading style requires distinct tools and risk management. Scalping demands ultra-fast execution and minimal spreads. Swing trading emphasizes thorough market analysis and patience. FxPro’s platforms support both approaches with features like algorithmic trading, multi-timeframe charts, and extensive indicator sets.
