About XAUUSD

Gold is the favourite instrument of many prop traders: strong trends, respected technical levels and large daily ranges. It moves inversely to real yields and the US dollar and rallies in periods of uncertainty.

On the smallest account that trades XAUUSD ($5K), risking 1% ($50) with a typical stop means 0.05 lots.
