The instrument officially launched on MetaTrader 5 on August 21, 2026, with planned expansions to web and mobile platforms scheduled for early September. While the existing XAUUSD product remains active under its original terms, this new offering targets the growing demand for round-the-clock commodity access. According to CEO Peter Karsten, the decision stems from gold’s unique sensitivity to off-hours news cycles, which often trigger significant price movements before the opening bell.
STARTRADER Introduces Weekend Gold Trading with XAUUSD247
Geopolitical shifts and central bank decisions rarely align with the traditional Monday-to-Friday trading schedule, prompting STARTRADER to debut XAUUSD247. The new CFD instrument offers investors continuous gold quotes throughout the weekend, bridging the gap between standard market sessions and the volatile events that frequently occur while global exchanges remain closed.
This rollout aligns with the broker’s strategy to provide continuous access across asset classes where investor activity frequently clashes with standard market hours. However, the firm notes that availability remains subject to specific client classifications and jurisdictional regulations. As with all leveraged products, the broker emphasizes that these instruments carry substantial risks of rapid capital loss, and specific disclosures apply depending on the user's region.
