What to compare
Record whether the product is an OTC CFD, a futures contract, an exchange-traded security or allocated metal. A gold CFD normally gives contractual price exposure; a familiar XAU/USD label does not establish ownership or delivery rights.
Where headline claims fall short
Obtain ounces per lot, minimum size, price increment, margin and overnight terms. Some platforms use different symbol suffixes or contracts. A gold risk calculator must use the actual ounces per lot rather than a forex pip assumption.
These are research candidates selected for the question above, not confirmed matches, recommendations or a cheapest-first ranking. Read each profile’s evidence and unknowns.
