FAQ

Common questions

What does Pilbara Calls actually give me as a gold trader in Australia?

Pilbara Calls gives you plain-English reference material and calculators for XAU/USD: position size, pip value, margin, profit and pivot points, plus pages on the market, the live price and trading hours. It does not place trades, hold your money, give personal advice or act as a broker, so execution and funding sit with your own provider.

Is Pilbara Calls a licensed broker or financial adviser?

No. Pilbara Calls is an information desk, not a broker, not an adviser and not licensed to deal or advise. Anything here is general in nature and does not consider your objectives, finances or needs. Your broker relationship, platform and regulatory protections are separate, so verify those directly before you fund an account.

Which broker and regulator do I end up dealing with if I trade gold?

That depends on the provider you choose. For example, FxPro supports MT4, MT5, cTrader and the FxPro app, and FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC. It does not hold an ASIC licence, so Australian residents deal with an offshore entity — check this before funding.

How much margin does a small gold position need at the maximum leverage?

At the maximum leverage available in Australia, up to 1:200, a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 margin. That is a cap, not a setting to aim at: taking the full cap magnifies both gains and losses on a 100 oz contract, and a small adverse move can cost far more than the margin itself.

Can I fund an account with PayID or bank transfer from Australia?

Local funding options such as PayID and bank transfer are commonly offered by Australian-facing providers, but the exact methods, cut-off times and any fees depend on the broker and your bank. Confirm deposit and withdrawal details in your own account area before sending money, and keep records for tax purposes.
