Trading Gold and Silver is a great way to increase your portfolio diversification by including exposure to another asset class. Gold and silver have long been effective stores of value and are heavily influenced by macro-economic fundamentals. Precious metals can be analyzed with the same technical and fundamental methods forex traders use on the major currency pairs. This means it is a great market to trade in today’s global economy. Access to gold and silver in a spot platform makes trading these instruments much more convenient and flexible than the traditional formats on the futures market.

Alpari UK offers both spot metals within the MetaTrader 4 platform. Order entry and system design is similar to the individual forex pairs already offered on MetaTrader 4 which simplifies the learning process. The gold and silver products benefit from enhanced leverage, adjustable lot sizes and speed of execution that you expect from all of Alpari UK’s trading products. In the video you will learn more about how to access precious metals within the platform, how to execute an order and some fundamental and technical analysis basics.
