Trade Metals
Suppose that 1 ounce (0.01 lots) of gold (XAUUSD) is worth approximately USD 1,300 on the market at this given time. If you sell 1 ounce of gold (short) at a price of 1,300 USD, you will receive 1,300 USD. For example, if the price per ounce drops to USD 1,100 and you buy back the previously sold ounce at a lower price, you will have a profit of USD 200. And vice versa, if the price for 1 ounce rises to 1,500 USD and you close your sales position (short), you lose 200 USD.
