Trading gold (XAU/USD) at TopFX — key facts
| Gold trading at TopFX | |
|---|---|
| Instrument | Spot gold · XAU/USD (CFD) |
| Spread from | XAU/USD minimum spreads on the live cTrader table, measured 2026-09-04: Growth from 0.24, Pro from 0.13, Zero from 0.04. The table lists minimums rather than averages, so the printed 0.04 on Zero is the thinnest quote the table admits, not a typical one. For scale on the same three accounts, EUR/USD reads 1.2 on Growth, 0.5 on Pro and 0.0 on Zero, and the whole Zero forex table shows a 0.0 minimum across all 40 pairs listed. |
| Commission | What TopFX publishes covers forex only: Growth and Pro are described as carrying no commission on forex, Zero as charging commission on forex. The Zero rate is not published anywhere on the current site - the site's own configuration carries commission: 0, which is a placeholder rather than a price. The only figure that ever appeared publicly is archived: a 19.05.2025 snapshot of the older RAW account listed 2.75 USD per side per lot. No separate commission schedule for metals exists in the measured sources, so on a Zero account the cost of a gold trade should be treated as unpublished, not as zero, and confirmed in the platform before trading. Account currencies are USD and EUR only - there is no MYR account, and the published deposit and withdrawal methods contain no Malaysian rails and no ringgit at all, so funding runs in USD or EUR; on the way out a processing fee ranging between 1.5% and 5% may apply depending on the payment provider and transaction details. |
| Max leverage | 1:200 on XAU/USD, labelled Flat, while most symbols on the broker's schedule run Dynamic leverage. The rest of the metals shelf is stricter: XAU/EUR 1:100, XPT/USD 1:20, XPD/USD 1:20 and XAG/USD just 1:10 Dynamic - silver carries one twentieth of the gold-in-USD figure, and gold quoted in euro carries half of it. One restriction sits on top: Terms of Business 11.23 states that every Friday between 21:00 and 24:00 server time the company has the discretionary right to set maximum leverage at 1:100 for opening a new position, so late-Friday gold entries can be margined at half the headline rate. |
| Contract size | The account specification published for Growth, Zero and Pro alike gives 1 lot = 100,000 units, with a ceiling of 100 standard lots per position. A separate XAU/USD contract size does not appear in the published account specifications, so that 100,000-unit line is an account-level figure and not a gold-specific one. Before sizing a gold position, read the exact unit value of one XAU/USD lot from the contract specification inside cTrader, MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5 rather than assuming it matches the forex line. |
| Minimum trade | 0.01 lots, in increments of 0.01, identical on Growth, Zero and Pro; the maximum is 100 standard lots per position. Account level minimum deposit is 0, so the entry barrier is set by the funding method rather than by the account: 50 EUR or equivalent on Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Skrill and Neteller, 100 EUR on SEPA and 100 USD on SWIFT, while a bank transfer under 100 EUR/USD is returned. |
| Direction | Gold here is a CFD on the XAU/USD price, so a position can be opened in either direction, long or short, with no metal delivered or stored. Two mechanics constrain how a position is run. First, TopFX states a minimum interval of 300 seconds - five minutes - between opening and closing a trade, which rules out fast in-and-out scalping on gold news. Second, the broker's own close-out numbers disagree with each other: the account pages give Margin Call 50% and Stop Out 20%, while Terms of Business 11.24 says positions may begin to be closed at a margin level of 60% or below, with automatic close-out at 35% on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 and at 30% on cTrader. That gap is the broker's, not a typo here, and it should be settled with support before leverage is pushed. Negative balance protection is stated - losses are capped at the amount the client has deposited - and clause 17.4 applies it per client rather than per account. Clients in Malaysia are served under TopFX Markets Limited, BVI company no. 2116078, FSC BVI licence SIBA/L/23/1161, while onboarding and payments run through TopFX Global Ltd, Seychelles, FSA Securities Dealer Licence No. SD037; the broker discloses that 85.19% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. |
| Platforms | cTrader - Windows desktop, web terminal at ct.topfx.com, iOS and Android, plus cTrader Copy, cTrader Automate and FIX API, MetaTrader 4 - desktop and iOS/Android; servers named TopFXGlobal-Demo Server and TopFXGlobal-Live Server, MetaTrader 5 - iOS and Android, server TopFX-Live; offered with all three account types, though the instrument availability table names only MetaTrader 4 and cTrader for metals and the demo block names only cTrader and MetaTrader 4, so MT5 access to gold is worth confirming with support, No in-house terminal exists - gold is traded on these third-party platforms only, and unlike Shares, ETFs, Crypto CFDs and the 8 Synthetic Indices, which are cTrader-only, metals are not locked to one platform |
| Minimum deposit | No account-level minimum; funding starts at 50 EUR by card or e-wallet, 100 USD by SWIFT |
| Overnight swap | A gold position carried past rollover is subject to swap, and no XAU/USD swap rate appears in the published materials reviewed here - the number has to be read from the symbol specification inside the platform before a position is held overnight. A swap-free option exists: the account specification carries islamicAccount true, it is requested by form to [email protected] with proof of religion, and the stated coverage is Forex, Energies, Metals, Indices and Shares - metals, and therefore gold, are inside that list - with no spread widening in exchange. The limitation is contractual: Terms of Business 10.7 leaves swap-free status to the company's discretion, so it is granted on request rather than owed. Unrelated to swaps but relevant to a long hold, clause 11.26 charges 5 USD, EUR, GBP or CHF, or 600 JPY, per month once an account passes 90 calendar days without trading activity. |
| Trading hours | Gold does not run around the clock. The per-symbol schedule opens XAU/USD at 01:01:00 and closes it at 23:57:00 server time, and the server clock is EET, UTC+2 in winter and EEST UTC+3 in summer. Malaysia runs on MYT, UTC+8, so in winter the gold week opens 07:01 Monday MYT and ends 05:57 Saturday MYT; in summer, with the server on EEST, that shifts to 06:01 Monday MYT and 04:57 Saturday MYT. Gold therefore starts one hour after the forex week, which runs 00:01 EET Monday to 23:59 EET Friday - 06:01 Monday MYT in winter - and stops two minutes before it. Only crypto and synthetic index CFDs trade 24/7; a weekend gap in gold cannot be traded until the Monday open, which for a trader in Malaysia lands on Monday morning rather than Sunday evening. |

Bond yields
The yield of each currency enters its own cross rate, which is why the same metal has several forward curves.
Safe-haven demand
Haven flows can push the metal up against one currency and down against another on the same day.
Inflation / CPI
Choosing which currency to measure metal in is choosing which inflation problem to compare it against.
Fed & interest rates
The main quote of this metal is against the dollar, but it trades against every major currency, and each pair has its own rate story.
Central-bank buying
A reserve manager judges metal against the currencies actually held, not against the dollar alone.
