Paper gold investment is a kind of investment with banks, where the investor will make a continuous market quotation with the bank, and the investor will trade with the bank according to the quotation in full, non-leveraged and two-way financial products. The investment risk of paper gold is not high and is usually influenced by two main factors, the first is the change of international gold price and the second is the risk from the bank.

Then as investors, many people do not understand how they should trade paper gold. Paper gold trading is divided into two main types of trading: 1. Buy first and sell later 2. The difference between these two types of trading is that if an investor chooses to sell first and buy later, a certain amount of margin is required. However, unlike investing in physical gold, paper gold trading in banks is not subject to commission. However, banks will charge a certain amount of trading spread based on the spread between buying and selling at the same point in time, the lower the spread, the lower the commission. When you choose paper gold products for investment, you can mainly choose 1-10 grams of products for investment. The trading hours are generally from about 7:00 am on Monday to about 4:00 am on Saturday, but of course not all banks are at this time, and some banks will adjust their trading hours due to some factors.

Gold futures are characterized by two-way trading, and although the returns are high, they are also associated with high risk, making them more suitable for investors to trade in the short term. Investors need to understand the adjustment of the settlement parameters of gold futures and trade according to the monthly updated settlement parameters, paying attention to the capital and cost of individual investment, as well as calculating the margin and commission of the transaction.
