Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about metal trading with Born2trade.

What is metal trading?

Metal trading involves speculating on the price of precious or industrial metals like gold, silver, platinum, aluminium, etc. Traders profit from price changes without owning or storing physical metals.

Why is gold considered a safe-haven asset?

Gold retains value during market uncertainty. When stocks fall, currencies weaken, or geopolitical risk rises, investors buy gold as portfolio insurance. Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years and is not tied to any government or central bank.

What leverage can I use for metals?

Born2trade offers leverage up to 1:500 for gold and silver, and up to 1:200 for other metals.

What are the spreads on metals?

Spreads vary by instrument and the account type. Always check the instrument specifications in the trading platform to know the exact spread value.

Can I trade metals 24/5?

Yes, metals are traded 24/5.

What is the difference between gold and silver trading?

Gold has higher liquidity, tighter spreads, and is the primary safe-haven metal. Silver is more volatile, has industrial demand (electronics, solar panels), and often moves 2-3x faster than gold. Silver is sometimes called "poor man's gold" due to its lower price per ounce.

What is the minimum deposit for metals trading?

Minimum deposit is $10 on all accounts.
