Ultima Markets has introduced XAUUSD247, a continuous 24/7 gold CFD trading instrument launching September 7, 2026, on MetaTrader 5. The new product addresses a structural gap in traditional commodity markets, where five-day trading schedules leave investors vulnerable to price swings triggered by weekend geopolitical and macroeconomic developments.
- Launch Date: September 7, 2026 on MT5; late September 2026 on Ultima Markets App
- Trading Hours (GMT+3): Saturday-Sunday 00:00-24:00 non-stop; Monday-Friday with 1-minute daily rollover pauses
- Contract Size: 1 Lot = 1 oz Gold; minimum 1 Lot, maximum 100 Lots per trade
- Leverage: Up to 1:100 tiered leverage
- Commission: Zero on both STP and ECN account types
The instrument eliminates the Monday gap risk inherent in weekend-closed markets, enabling traders to execute hedges or position adjustments as market-moving events unfold. Weekend headline breaks can be traded immediately without waiting for the Monday open. The continuous schedule also allows algorithmic trading systems and expert advisors to operate without interruption, preventing the signal disruptions that occur when traditional markets pause.
XAUUSD247 is available exclusively on MetaTrader 5 for STP, ECN, and USC account types, excluding Copy Trading Pro accounts. The company has classified the product under crypto instruments on its platform. Ultima Markets notes that leveraged derivative products involve substantial risk, and clients should evaluate their risk tolerance before trading volatile instruments such as continuous gold CFDs.
The service is not available to residents of the United States, United Kingdom, Singapore, or jurisdictions subject to international sanctions. Ultima Markets is a retail forex and CFD broker offering trading services across multiple asset classes.
