Trade XAUUSD in the USA on MT4 ?

Where can I trade XAUUSD in the USA on MT4 ?

Preferably a regulated broker ,

thanks

Just look for a futures broker if you are in the US, if not you’re going to struggle finding a good regulated broker for cfds

I love A/I too -

Short answer:
If you live in the USA, the only places you can trade XAUUSD on MT4 with a regulated broker are OANDA and FOREX.com — because they are CFTC/NFA‑regulated and legally allowed to offer MT4 to U.S. residents.

Below is the full breakdown so you know exactly what’s possible and what’s not.

Regulated U.S. Brokers That Offer MT4 (and XAUUSD)

1. OANDA (CFTC/NFA regulated)

1. Fully supports MT4.
2. Offers XAUUSD (spot gold).
3. $0 minimum deposit.
4. Tight spreads and fast execution.

2. FOREX.com (CFTC/NFA regulated)

1. Supports MT4.
2. Offers XAUUSD.
3. Well‑established U.S. broker with strong regulation.

These are the only two major brokers legally allowed to offer MT4 + gold trading to U.S. residents under CFTC rules.

What you cannot use in the USA

Because of U.S. regulations:

1. No offshore brokers (Exness, IC Markets, Pepperstone, FP Markets, etc.)
2. No high‑leverage gold trading (max is 50:1 for majors; gold is usually lower).
3. No unregulated MT4 brokers — they will eventually block U.S. clients.

Even though many international brokers offer XAUUSD on MT4, they cannot legally accept U.S. residents.
