FAQ

Common questions

What does Kampala Counter actually give a gold trader in Uganda?

Kampala Counter gives you gold-specific reference material and calculators: position size, pip value, margin, profit and pivot points, all set up for XAU/USD where 1 lot is 100 oz and one pip is 0.01. It explains costs and risk in plain terms. It does not place trades, hold funds or advise you, and it is not a broker or a licensed adviser.

Can I open an account or deposit money through this site?

No. Kampala Counter does not open accounts or take deposits, and no money moves through it. If you choose to trade, you fund a broker account directly, and Mobile Money is the route most Uganda readers already use for that. Before sending anything, confirm the broker on the CMA Uganda licensed persons list.

How do I work out what a gold trade will cost me in shillings?

Start with the position size calculator to fix your lot size, then the pip value calculator to convert a pip move into dollars, which you can read against the USh rate you actually get. Costs beyond that depend on the broker's spread, commission and overnight swap, so ask the broker for those figures rather than assuming any number.

Is trading gold on leverage suitable for a small account?

Leverage is a cap, not a target, and gold moves fast enough that a small account can be wiped out quickly. At the applicable cap, a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 margin, which shows how little margin controls a large exposure. Size positions from the risk you can lose, not from the margin the broker allows.

Which broker and regulator does this desk reference?

The broker referenced is FxPro, which publishes support for MT4, MT5, cTrader and the FxPro app, and serves Uganda through the FxPro entity that serves this country. On regulation: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA; confirm any broker on the CMA Uganda licensed persons list.
