PrimeXBT Cuts Gold Spreads, Boosts Leverage Across Trading Platforms

PrimeXBT has rolled out platform updates that tighten gold spreads and increase leverage limits across its trading services, responding to what the company says is growing client demand for better trading conditions.

PrimeXBT Tightens Gold Spreads, Raises Leverage Amid Market Volatility

The Saint Lucia-based broker, which serves over one million traders globally, has narrowed gold spreads to 20–25 points on both MetaTrader 5 and its proprietary PXTrader platform. The company says these tighter spreads will hold even during volatile market sessions, addressing a common complaint among precious metals traders who often face widening spreads during peak trading hours.

PrimeXBT also bumped up leverage across multiple asset classes. Bitcoin futures now offer up to 200x leverage, while smaller altcoin positions can access up to 150x leverage. Traditional assets like gold, silver, major forex pairs and key stock indices also received higher leverage bands, particularly for larger position sizes.

For PrimeXBT, this is another product update following the addition of over 100 new trading instruments to MT5 in early July, including 57 new FX pairs. In the meantime, the company also launched stock trading on the MetaQuotes’ platform.

Other Updates

The broker made several operational tweaks as well. Traders using MetaTrader 5 can now open multiple accounts per currency, making it easier to separate different trading strategies or risk profiles. The Crypto Futures platform added bracketed stop-loss and take-profit orders for new positions in hedge mode, while also displaying estimated liquidation levels directly on price charts.

Perhaps most notably for risk management, PrimeXBT cut the stop-out level on PXTrader from 100% to 50%. This gives traders more breathing room before their positions get automatically closed during market turbulence.

The company said “many of these updates were made in direct response to trader feedback” and emphasized its “ongoing commitment to empowering traders with the tools, insights, and flexibility they need to succeed in today's evolving landscape.”

PrimeXBT operates across 150 countries and offers trading in CFDs on stocks, indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies, plus crypto futures and forex. The platform also provides cryptocurrency buying, selling and storage services within the same interface.

The updates went live across all three platforms, MetaTrader 5, PXTrader and Crypto Futures, as of Monday.
