AK02 futures to CFD EN trade 20261101

Why do so many gold traders analyze futures (GC)… but execute on a CFD (XAUUSD)? 🤔

📊 GC futures show REAL executed volume: delta, footprint and volume at every price.
📉 Many CFD feeds only give tick volume: the number of price updates, not contracts traded.
🌍 For some traders, opening a futures account isn't possible. So: analyze with futures data, execute on a CFD account.

⚠️ The mistake: copying GC entry and exit prices straight onto your CFD chart. There's a price gap between the two symbols, and it changes.
✅ The workflow: analyze GC → align with your broker's XAUUSD → size the risk on the CFD's own specs
