Gold analysis and signals
Gold is the instrument most people trade and the one most easily mis-sized, because its quote convention is not standardised. Everything on this page states the assumption it used.
Pip convention
Broker-dependent convention: many brokers count a gold pip at 0.10, others at 1.00. State the assumed value beside every result.
- Pip assumed here
- 0.1
- Contract size
- 100 oz

- Quote currency
- USD
If your broker counts a gold pip as 1.00, a stop you sized using 0.10 is ten times wider than you think. Check your specification before sizing.
When gold actually moves
Gold liquidity concentrates around the London open and the New York overlap, and around US data releases. These are the session windows the session clock uses, in UTC:

- Tokyo — – —

- New York — – —
Gold signal record
Honest state — no invented data
No XAUUSD signals are recorded yet
We are not going to show you a chart with arrows drawn on it and call that a track record. Gold calls appear here as ledger rows with entry, stop, targets, timestamps and outcome once the signals module has real data behind it.

What we will publishPip value for XAUUSD
Check what a move is worth per lot before you decide the stop is reasonable.
OpenPosition size
Gold contracts are 100 oz, so a normal-looking lot carries far more exposure than a major pair.
OpenRisk to reward
Both outcomes in money, so the trade-off is explicit rather than implied.
OpenGold and XAUUSD questions
Do you currently sell trading signals?
Not yet. Signal delivery is a later release, and until it exists no history, hit rate or performance figure is displayed anywhere on this site. When it launches, the publication and recording rules described in the help centre are the ones it will be held to.
If I follow a signal, whose responsibility is the outcome?
Yours. A signal states an instrument, direction, entry basis, stop and target. It cannot know your account size, your leverage, your broker's spread or your tolerance for a losing run. Position size is the decision that determines whether a stopped-out trade is a small deduction or an account-ending one.
How do I know a signal history is not cherry-picked?
You check whether the record closes every trade it opens. A history that lists wins and omits losses is not a record but a selection. Our stated rule is that every published signal reaches a recorded outcome, including the ones that lose, and that simulations are labelled as hypothetical.
