STARTRADER Announces XAUUSD247 Gold CFD with Continuous Week‑Long Pricing
STARTRADER today announced the launch of XAUUSD247, a gold contract‑for‑difference (CFD) that provides quoted pricing throughout the entire week, including weekends and overnight periods when the traditional gold market is closed. The instrument is designed to capture price movements driven by geopolitical events, central‑bank decisions and shifts in risk sentiment that occur outside the standard five‑day trading schedule.
The new CFD goes live on MetaTrader 5 on 21 August 2026. Access via STARTRADER’s web portal and mobile app is scheduled for early September 2026. Availability is contingent on the client’s account type, classification and jurisdiction; the product is not offered to clients in all countries.
XAUUSD247 will sit alongside the existing XAUUSD contract, which continues to operate on unchanged terms. Clients eligible for the new instrument can trade it concurrently with the traditional XAUUSD offering.
> "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," said Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer of STARTRADER.
The launch aligns with STARTRADER’s broader 24/7 product direction, extending continuous‑access capabilities to commodities. The firm indicated that it will explore continuous access across other asset classes where client activity and market‑moving developments are least aligned with standard trading hours.
Risk Disclosure: CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Entity‑specific disclosures apply by jurisdiction.
