Risk Management for Gold Trading
Effective risk control is essential when trading gold with leveraged positions. We advise limiting exposure to 2-3% of your account balance per trade. Use stop loss orders consistently to cap downside risk and take profit orders to lock in gains.
Partial profit-taking at incremental price levels can optimize returns. Leverage levels of up to 1:500 (Standard) and 1:400 (ECN) require disciplined margin management to avoid liquidation during volatility.
Leverage and Margin Requirements
Margin requirements start at 0.2% of the position value on Standard accounts, with slightly higher margins on ECN accounts. Monitor margin levels within the platform to maintain healthy trading status and avoid margin calls.
| Account Type | Max Leverage | Margin Requirement | Minimum Trade Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | 1:500 | 0.2% | 0.01 lots |
| ECN | 1:400 | 0.25% | 0.01 lots |
| Demo | 1:500 | 0.2% | 0.01 lots |
Withdrawal Process and Profit Realization
Withdrawals are accessible through the client portal, with options tailored to Indian banking and payment systems. Initiate withdrawal requests by selecting your preferred method and entering the amount. Requests undergo compliance checks to ensure regulatory adherence and fund security.
Bank transfers take 1-3 business days post-approval, whereas UPI withdrawals process faster but are subject to daily limits. Withdrawals exceeding ₹50,000 require additional verification including source of funds documentation.
