Complete Guide to Gold Futures Trading

# Introduction to Gold Futures

Gold has been a store of value for thousands of years, and trading gold futures allows you to speculate on price movements without physically owning the metal.

## What are Gold Futures?

Gold futures are standardized contracts traded on exchanges like COMEX. Each contract represents 100 troy ounces of gold.

**Key Contract Specifications:**
- Symbol: GC=F
- Contract Size: 100 troy ounces
- Tick Size: $0.10 per ounce ($10 per contract)
- Trading Hours: Nearly 24 hours (Sunday-Friday)

## Why Trade Gold Futures?

1. **Leverage**: Control large positions with relatively small capital
2. **Liquidity**: High trading volume ensures tight spreads
3. **Hedging**: Protect against inflation and currency devaluation
4. **Diversification**: Low correlation with stocks
