Gold CFDs allow you to trade gold price movements with leverage up to 1:800, meaning you can hold positions and benefit from both rising and falling markets. Your potential profit and loss depend on how far the price moves.

Gold options let you speculate on gold prices with a fixed maximum loss (your initial stake) and defined expiry times.

You can open a Deriv account with a minimum deposit of just 5 USD. For gold options trading, you can start individual trades with as little as 1 USD.
