XAU/USD explained: how gold moves, how to size it and how common indicators read on a gold chart.
Gold articles focus on XAU/USD, the market where moves are largest in pips and where position sizing matters most. They explain how gold differs from the major currency pairs, how it relates to the US dollar index, which sessions it is most active in, and how to size a gold trade so that a wider stop does not turn into a larger loss.
This topic also holds the indicator explainers, from ATR and MACD to Bollinger Bands, Ichimoku and Parabolic SAR, each worked through on EUR/USD and gold. For current levels, see the gold forecast and the XAUUSD signals page, and use the lot size calculator before you place a gold trade.
