CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Three ways to trade gold on this list

Gold CFDs

A contract on the gold price, settled in cash. You never own gold, you can go long or short, and positions are leveraged, so losses can be larger than you expect. Overnight financing applies.

Spot metals

Prices taken from the spot market (XAU/USD). Outside the US, retail clients usually get these as CFDs or rolling contracts, so the same leverage and risk rules apply.

Physical gold

Gold bars or fractions of bars bought through the app and stored for you. You own the metal; buying, storage and delivery can each carry a fee.
