October Results: Traders Move Away from Gold to Other Assets

October Results: Traders Move Away from Gold to Other Assets

The brokerage company XFINE has summed up the results of its clients’ trading performance for October 2025, as well as the activity of its partners.

The past month turned out to be quite challenging for the company’s clients. Until recently, the most successful traders had been relying on a rather simple strategy – betting on the growth of gold. However, after reaching a new historical high of $4,380 per ounce on October 20, the XAU/USD pair collapsed to $3,886. XFINE analysts had warned about the likelihood of such a powerful correction in advance. Nevertheless, some traders continued to hold long (buy) positions. The result was unfortunate – their Stop Loss orders were triggered. Those who traded gold without stop orders suffered even more significant losses.

As a result, the composition of instruments used by the top performers in recent months changed noticeably: the dominance of precious metals was broken by bitcoin and US stock indices. The leader of October’s Top 3 was an XFINE client from Central Asia, account No. 1XXX95, with a profit of $3,354. This result was achieved exclusively through trading the same XAU/USD pair. Apparently, this trader managed to limit losses in time after the reversal of the gold trend.The second place went to a trader from Eastern Europe, who traded gold, bitcoin, and the US500 index (Standard & Poor’s 500), earning $1,280. Silver and the USTEC index (NASDAQ-100) brought another trader from the same region into third place, with a profit of $879.

 

The Top-3 XFINE Partners for October are as follows:

– The ranking was led by a partner from Eastern Europe, account No. 104XXX. Using the CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) model, he earned $41,220 in October. About 90% of his referrals traded gold, while 10% traded currency pairs. It should be noted that a partner’s income depends not only on the profitability but also on the trading activity of the clients they attract. It was precisely their activity in XAU/USD transactions that allowed him to achieve such high results.

– In second place was a partner from East Asia, account No. 103XXX, whose clients traded US and European stocks, currency pairs, and, of course, gold. Under the standard Introducing Broker (IB) program, he earned $22,400.

– Third place went to another partner from Eastern Europe, account No. 102XXX, whose clients traded only Forex currency pairs. Working under the CPA model, he received a solid $11,200 in commissions for the month.
