Leverage gives you market exposure greater than your initial margin. At 1:100 leverage, for example, $100 of margin can control a $10,000 position, but profits and losses are calculated on the full $10,000 exposure.
Open and fund your account, find Gold or XAU/USD, choose your position size and select Buy or Sell based on your market view. Gold CFDs track price movements without giving you ownership of physical gold.
