Spot metals are physical metals that are traded in the spot markets, meaning they are bought and sold in real time rather than on a specified date and time. Examples include gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Trading spot metals carries the same risks as any other financial investment, such as market volatility, economic conditions, and political instability. Additionally, spot metals prices are also affected by supply and demand dynamics, which can be affected by natural disasters, mining disruptions, and other factors.

A pip, or percentage in point, is a unit of measurement used to express the change in value between two currencies. In spot metals trading, it is used to measure the change in value of a specific metal, and it is the smallest increment that a price can move.

Margin trading is a trading strategy where an investor borrows money from a broker to purchase a larger amount of an asset than he would be able to afford with his own funds. This allows the investor to take advantage of larger market movements and potentially earn higher returns. However, it also increases the risk of losing more than the initial investment.

A fixed spread is a set value that does not change, regardless of market conditions. On the other hand, a variable spread fluctuates depending on the supply and demand in the market. Some traders prefer fixed spreads as they know the cost of trading, while others prefer variable spreads as they can take advantage of market conditions.
