Gold, silver, and other metal assets have recently experienced frequent rapid surges and pullbacks, with trading activity rising sharply.
Driven by shifts in macro policy expectations, changing demand for safe-haven assets, and capital flows, metal markets now display pronounced, short-term volatility rather than just long-term trends.
In this environment, traders are moving their focus from simply holding assets to actively adapting to market swings.
Traditional trading systems for metal assets are often constrained by limited trading hours and rigid market structures, making it difficult for investors to adjust positions when prices move outside standard trading periods.
Additionally, cross-market operations can be complex and fragmented account structures may reduce capital efficiency.
Consequently, more traders are seeking solutions that allow for quick entry and exit and unified management.
