Commodity Market
Configure your strategy to trade commodities like Gold and Silver.
The Commodity Market block lets you choose which commodities your strategy trades. Currently, Tradient supports Gold and Silver — two of the most popular and liquid commodity markets.
Why It Matters
Commodities behave differently than currency pairs. Gold, for example, often acts as a safe-haven asset, moving inversely to risk appetite. Silver tends to be more volatile. Understanding these characteristics helps you build strategies suited to each market.
How to Use It
- 1Drag the Commodity Market block onto your canvas
- 2Choose your selection: Gold, Silver, or Gold & Silver
- 3Connect the block to the next step in your strategy
Settings Explained
Selection — Choose 'Gold' to trade XAU/USD only, 'Silver' to trade XAG/USD only, or 'Gold & Silver' to trade both. Trading both gives your strategy more opportunities but may produce different results on each instrument.
Example Use Case
You want to build a breakout strategy specifically for Gold. You select 'Gold' as your market. Gold's tendency to make strong directional moves during news events makes it well-suited for breakout strategies.
Gold tends to have larger pip movements than most forex pairs. Make sure your risk management blocks are calibrated accordingly — a stop loss that works for EUR/USD might be too tight for Gold.
