What the Desk Makes of It

The figures below are the gold spreads each broker ADVERTISES on its own pricing page, per account type, with the unit the broker quotes them in. They are transcriptions, not measurements: nothing on this site times a fill or samples a live quote, and an advertised spread is what a broker says on a quiet day.

Who is on this page: Every broker record whose checked trading-cost table advertises a spread for gold.

Ordered by how much of the broker's own published terms we have checked, then alphabetically — this is not a quality ranking.

Quick Questions

Why do gold spreads vary so much between brokers?

XAU/USD is not centrally exchanged for retail traders, so each broker prices from its own liquidity providers and applies its own markup. Spreads between 12 and 45 cents on the same instrument at the same moment are normal.

How is a gold position sized?

A standard XAU/USD lot is typically 100 ounces, so a one-dollar move is $100 per lot. Gold's daily range is many multiples of a major currency pair's, which is why position sizing carried over from Forex so often proves far too large.

Does gold have overnight swap charges?

Yes, and they are often larger than on currency pairs because they reflect the cost of carrying the metal. For positions held over weeks the swap can outweigh the spread entirely.

How This Page Is Compiled

Every spread below is the figure the broker ADVERTISES on its own pricing page, per account, in the unit the broker quotes, read on the date shown. It is a transcription, not a measurement: an advertised gold spread is a quiet-market number, and nothing here tells you what gold cost to trade through a news release. Where the broker publishes an overnight swap on gold we print that too, with the same source and date; the unit it is quoted in is not a field our records carry, so the figure appears exactly as the broker states it and no further.

Our research hub holds 198 broker records for this site. Of the 11 registrations listed above, 10 were read on the regulator's own public register on the date shown. Of the rest, 1 is on record and not yet confirmed on a register — the label beside each one says which. Each one links to the register entry. The 47 figures on this page beyond those registrations were transcribed from a page the broker publishes them on, and each one links to that page with the date somebody read it. Where a date is old, treat the figure as old — brokers change pricing and licences without telling us.
