Last reviewed by the MarketPro research desk · Editorial policy

XAU/USD moves in dollars rather than pips, carries a wider spread, and reacts to real yields and risk sentiment rather than a single central bank. Index CFDs inherit the dividend and rollover mechanics of the underlying futures.

MarketPro publishes gold signals alongside forex for exactly this reason: the analysis transfers, the position sizing does not.

Commodities and indices: questions

How many commodities & indices lessons are there?
16, and they are all in the MarketPro app. This page lists every one of them. Each lesson takes about 1 minutes to read.
Do I have to pay to read them?
No. The academy is free on every MarketPro account, including free ones, with no lesson cap and no paywall inside the app. On this website the first part of each lesson is open and the rest is in the app, which is where the quizzes and the progress tracking are.
Do I need a broker account to start?
No. The academy, the calculators on this site and the free weekly signals all work without one. A broker account is only needed when you decide to place a real trade, and that decision is yours alone.
