If you trade gold with us, your entire trading kit fits in a pocket. This packing list covers the two items to bring, the two checks to make before you fly, and why nothing else is needed. Whether you are travelling for work or holiday, the chart comes with you without any extra bag.
What to pack
Your phone, with MT5 and Telegram installed. MT5 handles the trades and Telegram delivers the ideas, each with an entry, stop-loss and take-profit. Both apps are free and we set them up with you. A charger. A dead phone is the only real problem a travelling trader faces, so pack the cable and a plug adapter if you are changing countries. That is the complete kit.
Before you fly
Check the stop-losses on any open trades. A flight is a stretch of time with no signal, and a trade with a stop-loss and take-profit set will look after itself while you are in the air. One without a stop-loss will not. Then make sure our number is saved. Support is available 24/7, in any time zone, so landing somewhere new changes nothing.
That's it
No laptop, no second screen, no extra bag. The habits that actually protect your account, a stop-loss on every trade and a sensible lot size, weigh nothing and travel everywhere with you. If you want to see how members trade on the move, the community is free to join. Members trade from airports, hotel rooms and beaches with nothing more than this.
Key takeaways
- Pack your phone with MT5 and Telegram, plus a charger
- Check stop-losses on open trades before any flight
- Save our number: support runs 24/7 in every time zone
Common questions
Is it possible to trade gold while travelling?
Yes. With MT5 and Telegram on your phone you can receive ideas and manage trades anywhere with a connection. Set a stop-loss and take-profit so trades are protected when you are offline.
What should be checked before a flight with open trades?
Make sure every open trade has a stop-loss and take-profit set, so it closes automatically at a planned level while you have no signal.
