Begin by visiting the OctaFX India registration page and selecting an individual account type. Provide your full name, an active email address, and your mobile number prefixed with +91. Next, choose INR as your base currency and create a strong password for account security.
After submitting basic details, verify your email by clicking the link sent to your inbox. Return to complete your profile by adding your date of birth, phone verification, and country details. Precise information is essential for smooth withdrawals and compliance. Upload government-issued ID such as Aadhaar, passport, or driving license alongside recent address proof documents to finalize verification.

| Standard Gold | ₹2,000 | INR | 24 hours |
| Premium Gold | ₹10,000 | INR | 12 hours |

Document Verification Requirements
Verification is mandatory to comply with Indian financial regulations for precious metals trading. Upload documents in high resolution to avoid delays. Our system accepts multiple ID types for convenience, speeding up account approval.
Accepted Identity Documents
Submit clear images of your Aadhaar card, passport, or driving license. Aadhaar provides rapid processing through digital verification. Passports allow access to international trading features once verified. Driving licenses require both sides for thorough checks. Ensure images are clear and free from glare or shadows.
Address Verification Process
Provide recent utility bills, bank statements, or rental leases showing your full name and current address. Documents must be issued within the last three months. Bank statements also verify financial capability alongside residence. Rental agreements must be signed and stamped by landlords. Utility bills require visible provider logos and account details.
Gold Trading Spreads Structure
OctaFX offers competitive spreads on gold CFDs tailored to Indian market dynamics. Spread values fluctuate based on session times, market volatility, and global events. Standard accounts receive fixed spreads, while premium and professional accounts enjoy tighter, variable spreads. Spreads are displayed live on all our platforms.
- Standard accounts: 0.5 to 0.8 pips average spread
- Premium accounts: 0.3 to 0.6 pips average spread
- Professional accounts: 0.2 to 0.5 pips average spread
- Weekend spreads: 1.0 to 2.0 pips due to liquidity constraints
Weekend trading carries wider spreads because of lower liquidity and increased holding costs. Our platform sends notifications before spread adjustments during major economic announcements. Traders can monitor spreads in real time via mobile and desktop applications.
Leverage Options for Gold Trading
We provide flexible leverage ratios up to 1:1000 for gold CFDs tailored to Indian traders. Standard accounts start at 1:500 leverage, while premium accounts can trade with 1:1000 leverage. Professional traders may access customized leverage based on experience and capital.
Standard Leverage Ratios
Leverage affects margin requirements and trading volume. Higher leverage lowers margin but increases risk exposure. We advise cautious leverage use for new gold traders to control potential losses. Our platform calculates margin requirements automatically before order placement.
Margin Calculation Methods
Margin equals the position size multiplied by current gold price, divided by the leverage ratio. For example, a ₹100,000 position at 1:500 leverage demands ₹200 margin. Margin levels adjust dynamically based on equity and open positions, with margin calls to prevent account deficits.
| Leverage Ratio | Margin Requirement | Position Size | Required Capital |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:100 | 1% | ₹100,000 | ₹1,000 |
| 1:200 | 0.5% | ₹100,000 | ₹500 |
| 1:500 | 0.2% | ₹100,000 | ₹200 |
| 1:1000 | 0.1% | ₹100,000 | ₹100 |
