Important Notice: Removing the last decimal point of GOLD-related symbols
Dear Valued Clients,
We are pleased to inform you that on 2 August 2025, we will reduce the number of digits displayed after the decimal point for all GOLD-related symbols (GOLD, XAUUSD-Z, XAUAUD-Z) on Trade.MT5, Trade.MT4, Zero.MT5 and Zero.MT4 accounts.
Action required before the close of trading on 1 August 2025:
- Update all pending orders (including Stop Loss and Take Profit). Please amend any existing limit or stop orders, so they use the new two-decimal quote format.
If an order still contains the old three-decimal format when the change goes live, Admirals will automatically adjust the price to the nearest valid level.
- Check your automated strategies.
If you run Expert Advisors, scripts, or any other algorithmic trading tools, review their tick-size and price-format settings for the affected tickers. Make the necessary updates to ensure uninterrupted execution.
Taking these steps in advance will help you benefit from smoother order processing and avoid any unexpected adjustments once the new global standard pricing goes live.
Why This Change?
- Cleaner charts & deeper liquidity pools: Fewer decimal places mean clearer charting and tighter integration with liquidity providers who quote in two decimals, helping us source deeper liquidity and provide you with more competitive spreads.
- Faster execution & lower slippage: Matching the precision used by Tier-1 venues reduces the number of price updates sent to the trading server, which can translate into quicker order processing and potentially reduced slippage during fast markets.
We believe these enhancements will contribute to an even smoother trading experience. Our team remains dedicated to minimizing any disruption during the transition.
Should you have any questions or need assistance, please contact our customer support team at global@admiralmarkets.com.
Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our services.
Kind Regards,
Admirals
