Start with the fundamentals, then put them to work with the free calculators.

Trade gold on FxPro →The first thing to learn is position sizing, not prediction. Gold moves fast in absolute terms: one standard lot is 100 oz, so a one-dollar move in the price is 100 US dollars of profit or loss. Learn our position size calculator before anything else, because sizing decides whether a normal losing streak is survivable.
There is no fixed number of weeks, and anyone who gives you one is guessing. Practise until you can place, size and close a trade without hesitation and can explain your risk per trade in AED before you enter. Demo results tell you about your process, not about your future returns.
You do not need a large account to place a gold trade, because leverage lets you control 100 oz with a fraction of the value. What you do need is enough equity that a normal adverse move does not force you out. Work backwards from your risk per trade using the margin and position size calculators.
Gold is a demanding first instrument because it is volatile and sensitive to news, but it is not unsuitable. It is liquid and the contract maths is simple once you know that one lot is 100 oz and one pip is 0.01. Beginners usually do better starting with small sizes and a written risk limit.
Learn costs and risk mechanics before strategy. You should be able to say what a trade costs you in spread and any commission, how much margin it ties up, and what a losing trade does to your balance. The trading costs page and the margin calculator cover that ground in plain numbers.
