FAQ

Common questions

Where does the live gold price on this page come from?

The page shows an indicative XAU/USD reference near 4275.0, drawn from market data rather than from your broker's order book. It is there to give context for the calculators, not to be an executable price. Your platform quote is the only price you can actually deal on.

Why is my broker's gold quote different from the reference price?

Your broker's quote includes its own spread and reflects the liquidity available at that instant, so it will sit above or below a reference level. The gap depends on the broker, the session and market conditions. Compare the two as context, and always place orders from the platform price.

Does a stale or delayed price matter for my naira funding?

It matters for planning, not for execution. A delayed reference can make a margin figure look different from what your broker will charge, because margin depends on the live price and your leverage. Convert the dollar margin to naira at the rate your bank or card actually applies, not at a page rate.

Can I trade directly from the price shown here?

No. The reference price is informational only. To trade XAU/USD you need an account with a broker, and orders are filled at that broker's quotes. Use the reference to sanity-check levels and to feed the pip value and profit calculators, then execute on your own platform.

How often should I refresh the price before using a calculator?

Refresh whenever the price has moved meaningfully since you last looked, especially before sizing a position. Margin and pip value depend on the current price and your lot size, so an old figure can mislead. Re-enter the latest platform price into the margin and position size calculators before you commit.
