Accessing Metal Instruments on Trading Platforms

Open the Market Watch panel on the left, right-click and select “Show All” to reveal all instruments. Scroll to the metals section including XAUUSD, XAGUSD, XPTUSD, and XPDUSD. Double-click symbols to add to your watchlist and view real-time quotes. Open charts for analysis by right-clicking and selecting “Chart Window”.

Add metals to your watchlist by clicking the star icon; prices refresh every 200 milliseconds during market hours.

Mobile Application Features

Use touch gestures to navigate charts and manage orders efficiently. The app supports notifications for price alerts and economic events impacting metals trading on exness.

Understanding Metal Trading Specifications

Our platform uses fixed margin requirements unaffected by leverage changes. Gold (XAUUSD) requires 1% margin, silver (XAGUSD) 2%, platinum (XPTUSD) 5%. These margins remain stable during volatile market conditions. Maximum positions per trade are 75 lots for gold, 50 lots for silver, and 25 lots for platinum. Our risk control system blocks trades exceeding these limits to protect client accounts.

Trading hours run 24 hours a day, five days a week (Monday 01:05 IST to Saturday 01:00 IST) with short daily breaks for maintenance. Liquidity is provided by tier-1 banks and institutional partners, ensuring smooth trade execution. Overnight positions incur swap charges; for example, gold long positions typically pay 0.8-1.2% annually while short positions receive 0.3-0.7% credits based on interest rate differentials.

Negative balance protection prevents your account from falling below zero, even during sharp market gaps. This feature safeguards Indian traders from unexpected losses beyond their account balance.

Technical Analysis Tools and Chart Setup

Configuring Price Charts

Open any metal chart by double-clicking the symbol in your watchlist. The default is a 1-hour candlestick chart. Use toolbar buttons to switch timeframes from 1-minute to monthly intervals. Right-click the chart and select “Properties” to customize colors and grid settings. Enable “Show Ask Line” to display both bid and ask prices for precise spread monitoring.

Applying Technical Indicators

Our platforms include over 50 built-in indicators suited for metals trading. Popular indicators are Moving Averages (SMA, EMA), RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands. Insert indicators via “Insert” > “Indicators” menu and set parameters such as periods and smoothing. Save your indicator setups as templates for quick reuse on other metal charts.

Volume Analysis

Volume indicators help detect institutional activity affecting metal prices. Add volume by selecting “Insert” > “Indicators” > “Volumes”. Analyze volume spikes to identify potential trend reversals or breakouts. This tool is particularly useful during major economic announcements impacting metals.

Executing Metal Trades and Order Management

Placing Market Orders

Right-click the desired metal in Market Watch and select “New Order”. The order window shows live bid/ask prices refreshing every 200 milliseconds. Choose “Buy” to open a long position or “Sell” for short. Enter desired lot size, with 0.01 lots minimum. Set Stop Loss and Take Profit levels by price or pip distance for risk control. Confirm by clicking “Buy” or “Sell” to execute immediately.

Using Advanced Order Types

Pending orders allow entry at specific price points. Use Buy Limit and Sell Limit orders to enter at better prices, and Buy Stop or Sell Stop to enter on momentum breakouts. Set expiration times to automatically cancel pending orders if not triggered. This prevents outdated orders from executing unexpectedly.

Order Management Features

Our platform offers one-click trading for rapid entry without confirmation dialogs. Partial position closing allows profit-taking in steps. Modify open positions to adjust Stop Loss and Take Profit dynamically. Use trailing stops to automatically move Stop Loss with favorable price changes. The “Close All” function enables quick exit from all positions during emergencies.

Risk Management and Position Sizing

Calculating Appropriate Position Sizes

Use our built-in position size calculator available under “Tools” in MT4 or “Calculator” in the web terminal. Enter your INR account balance, risk percentage per trade (1-2% recommended), and Stop Loss in pips. The calculator outputs the maximum lot size fitting your risk profile. For instance, a ₹1,00,000 balance with 2% risk and 50-pip Stop Loss on gold suggests 0.04 lots to limit losses.

Implementing Stop Loss Strategies

Place Stop Loss orders based on technical support and resistance levels, not arbitrary numbers. Gold trades often use stops of 30-80 pips depending on timeframe and volatility. Use tighter stops on short timeframes and wider stops on daily charts. Trailing stops set at 20-30 pips help lock profits while following trends.

Market Analysis and Trading Strategies

Economic Calendar Integration

Our platform includes a live economic calendar displaying events impacting metals like Federal Reserve announcements, CPI releases, and geopolitical news. Filter events by currency and impact level to focus on relevant data. Alerts can be set to notify you ahead of important releases that may cause metal price volatility.

Fundamental Analysis Factors

Track US Dollar strength using the DXY index, as metals generally move inversely to the dollar. Central bank interest rate decisions influence metal valuations through opportunity cost shifts. Inflation drives demand for gold and silver as hedges. Monitor inflation indicators like CPI and PPI for early signals affecting metal prices.

Technical Analysis Patterns

Recognize chart patterns such as triangles, flags, and head-and-shoulders to identify potential metal price moves. Use support and resistance with volume confirmation for high-probability trades. Moving average crossovers (e.g., 50-day MA crossing 200-day MA) signal trend changes. These patterns assist precise entry and exit timing for metals trading on exness.
