Measured: the gold spread on Raw+

Across the same London–New York hours, the measured XAU/USD spread on an FxPro Raw+ account was $0.18 per ounce, against $0.58 on an independent interbank reference feed — about 69% tighter. This is a live measurement, re-taken on a schedule (latest reading 2026-08-09), and this block is shown only while the measured spread stays below the reference. The Raw+ commission ($3.50 per lot, per side) is charged separately from the spread.

Spreads may fluctuate and widen depending on liquidity, news and market conditions.

Real measured gold conditions (Raw+)

First-hand numbers from FxPro’s own MetaTrader 5 Raw+ feed — the spread, all-in cost, contract specs and overnight financing you actually trade on, not a marketing figure.

Gold volatility and weekend risk (measured)

Average daily range and annualised volatility over the last two weeks; the weekend gap is the average Friday-to-Monday jump — gold can travel a long way while the market is shut, so size weekend exposure with that in mind. ‘Spread vs reference’ compares our measured gold spread with an independent interbank reference feed.

Gold spread through the trading day

Gold holds its typical 15-pip spread through the main London and New York hours, then balloons around the daily 00:00 server rollover — the sparkline shows the 24-hour shape.

Average pip spread by FxPro server hour over the last 24 hours. The rollover window is the one to avoid for gold — the spread there runs several times the daytime level. Hours are server time (about UTC+3); IST in brackets.

Gold as a second instrument, not a first one

Adding an instrument is a decision, and it is worth treating as one. The first practice month exists to produce a record you can read; a second symbol introduced mid-month is the fastest way to make that record unreadable, because nothing repeats often enough to compare.

Introduced deliberately, after a first month that produced one nameable pattern, gold does something useful instead: it tests whether the routine belongs to you or belonged to the instrument. Entry lines that only make sense on one symbol were never really a routine.

The measured conditions above are the reference for that test. What a trade costs to enter, how far the instrument typically travels in a day, what holding it overnight involves - all of it is published so it can be checked while writing an entry rather than recalled afterwards. The single-pair profile is the same reference for the first instrument.

What a second instrument reveals about the first month

The first thing it reveals is whether the entry lines were doing any work. On a familiar symbol a thin reason line still produces plausible trades; on a new one the same thinness shows up immediately as entries that cannot be justified a week later.

The second is drift. Watch for entries migrating toward whichever instrument moved most recently, particularly after a losing day. Two instruments make that drift small enough to see and fix, which is exactly why the step from one to two is more instructive than the step from one to several.

The third is sizing. A size that felt settled on one instrument is a new question on another, because contract size and normal daily movement are not the same - which makes the pre-order routine on the margin page worth repeating rather than assuming.

Running a two-instrument review without doubling the work

Read each instrument separately and in date order. A merged list hides the only thing you are looking for, which is whether attention moved between them for reasons that had nothing to do with either.

Then ask one crossing question: after a loss on one, where did the next entry land? Repeated migration is the chasing habit in miniature, and catching it with two symbols is far easier than catching it with a dozen.

Keep the rest of the routine identical. Same entry lines, same fixed review evening, same rule about writing before the outcome is known. The instrument changed; nothing else should have.

The entries that go wrong first on an unfamiliar instrument

Reason lines thin out. On a symbol you have traded for weeks, a short reason still points at something real, because the context is already in your head. On a new one the same line points at nothing, and a week later the trade cannot be explained by anything you wrote at the time.

Expected cost stops being written. The habit was built against a number you had learned to anticipate; on an unfamiliar instrument there is nothing to anticipate, so the field quietly goes blank at exactly the point it would have been most useful. The measured figures above are there to fill it, and checking them at entry takes seconds.

The horizon word gets skipped. Beginners who reliably wrote intraday or overnight on their first instrument often stop doing it on the second, and then discover the intended horizon at the rollover instead of deciding it at entry. It is the same lapse described on the overnight page, arriving through a side door.

Adding gold to a practice routine without losing the record

1. Finish the first instrument month and name one repeating pattern out of it before adding anything at all.
2. Read the measured conditions above once and leave them open as a reference while writing entries.
3. Add the instrument at the start of a review period rather than mid-month, so the two halves of the record stay comparable.
4. Keep the same entry lines and add one - why this instrument for this trade - on every order from then on.
5. At the weekly review, read the two instruments separately, then check where entries went after each losing day.

Two instruments is a step. Several at once is the habit this whole routine exists to catch.

Adding an instrument deliberately, or drifting into one

Both columns describe two instruments. Only one of them leaves a record worth reading.

What carries across from the first instrument, and what does not

The habits carry across whole. The reference points all have to be learned again, which is the point of doing it deliberately.
