Educational tool only — not financial advice. This calculator provides estimates for planning purposes. Actual pip values, contract sizes, margin requirements, and commissions vary by broker and instrument. Gold (XAUUSD) and Silver (XAGUSD) contract sizes and USD pip values in particular can differ between brokers — the 5,000 oz silver lot size shown here is a common estimate (COMEX futures use 5,000 oz; many CFD/forex brokers differ). Always verify the exact contract specifications with your own broker before sizing a real position. Trading forex, commodities, and cryptocurrency involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.
