FAQ

Common questions

What does Deccan Primer actually give me as a gold trader in India?

Deccan Primer gives you a working toolkit for XAU/USD: position size, pip value, margin, profit and pivot point calculators, plus plain explanations of how gold pricing and trading hours work. It does not place trades, hold funds or advise on direction. It is a desk for planning and understanding, not a broker and not an adviser.

Is Deccan Primer a broker or a SEBI-registered adviser?

No. Deccan Primer is neither a broker nor an adviser, and it is not registered with SEBI. It publishes calculators and reference material only. Any broker you use sits outside this desk, and the regulatory position of that broker is a separate matter you must check yourself before funding an account.

Which broker facts do you reference, and under what licence?

We reference FxPro, which publishes support for MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge. Its India-facing entity is FxPro Markets Ltd. The licence sentence we carry is exact: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA — not by SEBI. Treat that caveat as central, not as fine print.

Can I use your tools if I trade gold through a different broker?

Yes. The position size, pip value, margin, profit and pivot point calculators work from inputs you supply, not from a broker connection. For gold, 1 standard lot is 100 oz and one pip is 0.01, so the arithmetic is the same across platforms. Your broker's contract specification is the one number you should confirm against.

What risks should I understand before trading XAU/USD with leverage?

Leverage is a cap, not a target. Available leverage in India is up to 1:200, and up to 1:500 for eligible traders after experience and financial assessment. At 1:200, a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 margin. Gold moves fast on news, so losses can exceed what you planned; size positions from risk, not from maximum margin.
