1. Look for a regulated and licensed broker
Only consider gold trading on websites that are regulated and licensed by a trusted financial authority.
2. Check requirements
Confirm that you meet the broker’s minimum deposit requirements and region-specific requirements.
3. Choose and download the gold trading platform
Your broker should provide a list where you can choose a gold trading platform of your choice. You can download an installer package for MT4/5 and install it on your machine. Note that there is a separate installer depending on your device (Windows, iOS, and Android).
4. Provide personal identifying info
The personal identifying information you will need to provide includes your name, date of birth, and contact details. To prove that these fields have trustworthy information, you may be asked to provide a copy of your ID and a document to prove your address.
5. Verify your account
You must have a verified account to trade gold. The broker will send a verification notification and login details via email once they are satisfied that you have opened an account with verifiable identity details.
