Is there a "real" Gold 1 euro- contract?

Despair · 2017-08-01T11:43:41+00:00

I wrote a strategy for gold and the backtest looks promising but when I wanted to put it live on Gold 1 euro mini contract (the one I also backtested with) the first order directly got rejected with the error “minimum order is 10 contracts for this market”. So is there a “real” 1 euro contract for gold?

You can try Spot Gold Mini (10 oz).
Here you can have contracts starting from 1 onwards.

It is more expensive – Pip value = $10.

I think this this the contract i tried (see picture attached). I started my strategy on this one and it was stopped with the minimum contract error. Besides this contract I only find Avista gold mini contract 10oz but this is worth 10USD/pip. The later seems to be the smallest there is or am I wrong?
