Gold Desk
XAU/USD market analysis on one screen

Gold moves on the dollar, real yields and the trading sessions — not just on chart patterns. The Gold Desk puts live spot and futures prices, DXY, real yields, session clocks and 15 rule-based gold setups (with their honest measured statistics) in one place, inside the LiveTradingAI workstation.

What's on the Gold Desk

Most gold pages treat XAU/USD like any other ticker. The Gold Desk is built around what actually drives gold: the US dollar, real interest rates and the hand-over between the Asia, London and New York sessions. Everything you need to understand the gold market today sits on one screen.

Live spot & futures

XAU/USD spot and gold futures, each clearly labelled. The two instruments are never mixed in one price series.

Dollar index (DXY)

Gold is priced in dollars, so the desk shows the dollar index next to the gold price.

Real yields

US 10-year real yields from FRED — one of the main macro drivers of gold — with their recent direction.

Session clocks

See which session is open and when the London and New York opens arrive.

15 rule-based setups

Session, macro and price-action setups, each measured on the trades it would have taken — with the statistics shown, good or bad.

Market Verdict for gold

The same plain-English read used for crypto. Factors that do not exist for gold, such as funding rates, are shown as unavailable instead of being faked.

How each setup is shown

Every setup on the desk is shown with the same fields, so you can judge it yourself instead of taking anyone's word for it:

SETUPName and the rule it follows
TYPESession · macro · price action
CURRENT READWhat the rule sees right now
SAMPLE SIZEHow many past trades were measured
AVERAGE RESULTMeasured result per trade, in R
STATUSFlagged when the record is poor

Notice what is not there: no promised results, no "100% sure". Small samples are labelled as small, and setups with a poor measured record are flagged rather than promoted. That is the point of the desk — honest context, not hype.

Who the Gold Desk is for

Forex and gold traders who want the price, the dollar, real yields and the session clock in one view instead of four tabs.

Crypto traders adding gold who already use LiveTradingAI's charts and order-flow tools and want the same workspace for XAU/USD.

Learners who want to understand why gold moves — and to see how common rule-based setups actually perform when measured, instead of how they are advertised.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Gold Desk?

The Gold Desk is the gold (XAU/USD) workspace inside LiveTradingAI. It puts live spot and futures prices, the US dollar index (DXY), US real yields, trading-session clocks and 15 rule-based gold setups — each shown with its measured statistics — on one screen.

Does the Gold Desk tell me when to buy or sell gold?

No. It shows market context and how a set of rule-based setups have actually performed when measured. It does not give financial advice or trade calls. What you do with the information is your decision.

Are the prices spot or futures?

Both, kept separate. Spot XAU/USD and gold futures are different instruments that trade at slightly different prices, so the desk labels each one and never mixes the two in one price series.

Why show statistics for setups that do not perform well?

Because hiding them would be misleading. Every setup is measured on the trades it would have taken. When a setup's record is poor, the desk shows that and flags it instead of promoting it.

What macro data does it use?

The US dollar index (DXY) and US 10-year real yields (published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, FRED), plus the Asia, London and New York session times.

Is the Gold Desk free?

Yes. While LiveTradingAI is in open access, the Gold Desk and every other tool are free for signed-in users. No card is required.
