Terms of Use

Not advice, not an offer

Everything on South Cross FX is educational material about gold (XAU/USD) trading. Nothing here is personal financial advice, a recommendation to trade, or an offer to buy or sell any financial product. You are responsible for your own decisions and should consult a licensed adviser if you need one.

We describe how CFDs on gold work, including leverage and margin, but we never tell you that you should open a position. A worked example like a 0.10-lot position needing about $85.50 margin at 1:500 leverage is a calculation, not a suggestion to use that leverage.

Risk warning

CFDs on gold carry a high risk of loss. Because of leverage, a small price move against you can wipe out your entire margin and more. Most retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs, and gold is no exception. Never trade with money you cannot afford to lose.

Past performance does not predict future results, and no strategy on this site removes the risk. If you are unsure how leverage works, read our articles on margin and position sizing, and consider a demo account before risking real funds.

Figures are dated

All figures on this site, including spreads, margin requirements, and regulator details, are dated. Broker conditions change, and the only way to be sure is to check the broker's current documents before you trade. We update our pages when we re-check, but we cannot guarantee that every figure is still accurate today.

Affiliate links mean that if you open an account through our site, your relationship is with the broker, not with us. We are not a party to any trade, deposit, or withdrawal, and we have no access to your account. All disputes are between you and the broker.
