Why would a gold trader want a funded account that never closes?
Think about the last time gold made headlines on a weekend. A central bank comment. A geopolitical shock. A Sunday you spent watching and not trading.
On a standard XAUUSD account, you have two choices on Friday: close and miss the move, or hold and accept whatever Monday brings. Neither is a trade. It is a guess.
A gold perpetuals account gives you a third choice. You can act on Saturday when you see something, close on Sunday when you are wrong, and size every position against the same daily limit you use on a Tuesday. That is the whole pitch: your gold plan runs on your schedule.
This page is about the 24/7 route. If you want the deep dive on XAUUSD lot sizing, spreads and drawdown maths, read sizing XAUUSD inside the limits. We will not repeat it here.

The difference that matters most is in the weekend row. Weekend holding means a Classic position can stay open while the market is shut. Weekend trading means the market itself is open. If that distinction is new to you, weekend holding and weekend trading on Perpetuals explain both.

What does a weekend gold move mean for your limits?
Weekend trading is a freedom, not a discount on risk. The limits do not take Saturday off. Here is the arithmetic on a $25,000 Perps 2-Step, where the daily limit is 4% ($1,000) and the max loss is 6% ($1,500). The figures are illustrative, not a forecast, and say nothing about what any trader will make.
| Illustrative gold exposure (simulated) | Gold moves 1% against you | Gold moves 2.5% against you | Share of the $1,000 daily limit at 2.5% |
|---|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $100 | $250 | 25% |
| $25,000 | $250 | $625 | 63% |
| $50,000 | $500 | $1,250 | Over the limit |
Loss equals exposure times the move. Gold can move 2.5% on a headline, and on $50,000 of exposure that is $1,250, past the daily limit in one candle. Two rules of thumb help: set risk per trade before the weekend starts, and know how your daily loss limit is counted. Quiet weekend hours can also mean wider moves on thin activity, so check the instrument details in the platform before you size up.
Which gold account fits how you trade?
- You trade gold headlines whenever they land. Perpetuals 24/7. The 2-Step gives you the most room per day (4% daily) with 4% targets per phase.
- You want one phase and then the split. Perps 1-Step: one 6% target, 6% max loss, 3% daily, fee refunded with the first payout.
- You want no evaluation. Perps Instant: 90% split, payout on demand after 6 trading days, 7% static max loss, no fee refund.
- You trade XAUUSD on weekdays next to forex and indices. Classic market from $69. See indices and gold on Classic.
- You also trade energy. Oil sits on the same Perpetuals account; see oil on Perpetuals.
If the split is what decides it for you, how a 90% split works shows the maths.
