Introduction

STARTRADER, a global multi‑asset brokerage, announced the launch of XAUUSD247 on 21 August 2026. The new gold CFD is designed to provide continuous pricing, covering the full week, weekends, and overnight periods when the traditional gold market is normally closed.

Product Features

XAUUSD247 offers real‑time quotes during all market hours, except for scheduled maintenance windows. It is available on the MetaTrader 5 platform from the launch date, with web and mobile app access slated for early September. The instrument operates alongside the existing XAUUSD CFD, which continues to trade under its standard terms.

Availability and Restrictions

Access to XAUUSD247 depends on several factors: account type, client classification, and the trader’s jurisdiction. The CFD is not offered to all customers worldwide; eligibility will be confirmed by the broker’s compliance team before activation.

Strategic Rationale

Gold is highly sensitive to events that occur outside the conventional five‑day trading cycle—geopolitical shifts, central‑bank policy announcements, and changes in risk appetite. By offering quotes during those off‑hours, STARTRADER enables traders to react promptly to market‑moving news.

CEO Peter Karsten explained, “Gold is one of the most event‑sensitive instruments on the market. Developments that move it do not wait for Monday. XAUUSD247 provides quoted pricing during these periods, including when the traditional market is closed.”

Future Expansion Plans

STARTRADER intends to evaluate continuous access for other asset classes where client activity and market drivers are less aligned with standard trading hours. The firm’s broader 24/7 product strategy aims to extend market access whenever the underlying structure permits.

Risk Disclosure

Contracts for difference are complex and involve significant leverage, which can lead to rapid loss of capital. The broker’s disclosure statements are jurisdiction‑specific and apply to all clients.
