Aggressive Leveraging

Leverage small price movements in these market commodities by up to 50 times with our low margin requirements. With our low margin requirements, you need deposit just 2% of the trade value in collateral.

Trading Precious metals Spot

Spot Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium are traded through the Forex Trade Module in our SaxoTrader trading platform.

Spot Commodities allow you to short sell as easily as taking a long position and can also be traded by Market, Limit and Stop orders.

More details on the precious metals spot trading can be found under Forex Trading Conditions in the trading platforms.

The target spreads listed are our best possible spreads used in normal market conditions. Under certain market conditions - such as over the release of key economic figures, during periods of volatile market conditions, and during the sometime illiquid European night time spreads may be wider and auto execution limits may be lowered or disabled.

Margin Requirements

Forex is traded on margin enabling you to leverage a small margin deposit for a much greater market effect where:

  • Reduced Margin rates apply to the first EUR 300,000 (or equivalent) of your investment collateral
  • Normal margin rates apply to all investment collateral over EUR 300,000 (or equivalent)

Ticket Fee Threshold

For trades below the Ticket Fee Threshold, a small ticket fee of USD 10 is added to the trade to cover administration costs.
