When I open a position on gold standard lot with igmarkets it's straight $100 gone out of window! This implies $10 a pip or 10 pip. Maybe the spread was low at this time. Try some other time but it should make that much diff. I'll speak to the IG guys.
Dislikedjust bought gold to see- £1 pp / spread = 0.5 ?
