XAU/USD — a binary option on gold

Gold against the dollar. The move is calmer.

Payout

Up to 85% on XAU/USD. Silver, XAG/USD, sits beside it with a thinner book.

The same entry

Expiry from 30 seconds to one hour, direction versus your entry, an external quote.

Tie and lock

An equal expiry returns the stake. Until then the amount is frozen and is not part of a withdrawal.

How gold differs on the chart

XAU/USD is gold against the dollar. The move is usually quieter than bitcoin, so a short expiry here more often stays near the entry. The rules are not softer because of that.

XAG/USD, silver, sits beside it with its own percent. Both figures are read before entry.

Session

Day metal lives with the market, not around the clock like crypto.

In the hours when the pair is moving, the contract is the same: an external quote, server expiry, and the amount locked.

Outcomes

Higher and Lower are compared with your entry, not with the day’s open. The path inside an hour or thirty seconds is not scored.

Equality at expiry returns the stake without the percent. Against the direction, the amount stays in the pool. The 85% figure does not shrink that loss.
