More flexibility for your gold trades.
Until August 2026, margin for gold (XAUUSD) was locked at a fixed 1:100, no matter what leverage your account was set to. We changed that. Gold now follows the same leverage logic as FX pairs, so opening the same position ties up less of your margin, leaving more room to trade. With Top Leverage switched on in Axiory Portal, your account is set to the highest leverage your tier allows, with no manual changes.
You choose the position size. A larger trade increases the money gained or lost on each price move.
