Direct vs Derived Gold Quotes
Direct quotes come from the target pair feed; derived quotes are calculated using XAU/USD plus FX. Both can be useful when clearly labeled.
This guide explains when each appears and how to interpret trustfully.
When derived fallback appears
If a direct pair is temporarily unavailable, derived logic keeps continuity for monitoring and decision support.
How to interpret quality
Derived values are practical approximations. For final execution, confirm with current direct local offers where possible.
Best practice
Use derived periods for trend continuity, then re-validate with direct context before committing.
