Application field
The personal composite trading instrument &XAUAUD is used for multi-year dynamics analysis of Gold vs the Australian dollar, as well as for comparative analysis with another popular instrument – XAUUSD . For example, by building a percentage chart for two instruments &XAUAUD and XAUUSD (Рict. 1) on the trading platform NetTradeX, it can be seen that Gold exhibited significantly smaller growth dynamics in the 5-year period against the AUD compared with the growth against the USD, especially in the period from August 2010 to July 2013.
Traders, whose main assets and investments are denominated in Australian dollars, will be comfortable trading this PCI.
