About Metals
Why Trade Metals with NEOM Funded?
Precious metals are among the most popular instruments for prop Participants thanks to their liquidity, volatility, and safe-haven characteristics. NEOM Funded provides access to gold and silver with tight spreads, leverage up to 1:50, and no restrictions on trading strategies – on the same MetaTrader 5 forex feed.
Available Precious Metals
- Gold (XAU/USD): The world's most traded precious metal. Spreads from 15 cents per ounce, leverage up to 1:50. Driven by Fed policy, inflation data, and geopolitical risk.
- Silver (XAG/USD): More volatile than gold on a percentage basis, with leverage up to 1:50. Influenced by industrial demand, solar energy sector, and the gold-to-silver ratio.
Trading Conditions
Both gold and silver offer leverage up to 1:50. Gold spreads start from 15 cents per ounce during London and New York sessions. Both metals are commission-free on our standard accounts with transparent pricing sourced from top-tier liquidity providers.
Why Metals Are Perfect for Prop Trading
- Diversification from Currency Majors: Metals often move differently from currency pairs, providing natural balance within your simulated funded portfolio.
- High Daily Range: Gold regularly moves $20–$50 per ounce in a single session, creating a high daily trading range. As with all trading, this volatility carries risk as well as opportunity.
- Technical Clarity: Precious metals respect key support and resistance levels, moving averages, and Fibonacci retracements with remarkable consistency.
- Macro Catalysts: FOMC decisions, CPI releases, NFP reports, and geopolitical tensions create recurring high-probability setups on gold and silver.
Metals Trading Strategies
Many funded Participants specialise in gold trading, using a combination of technical patterns and macro awareness. Popular approaches include trading gold's reaction to US economic data, London session breakouts, and the inverse correlation with the US Dollar Index (DXY). Silver Participants often watch the gold-to-silver ratio for mean-reversion setups.
