Dipping my toes with 1-Ounce Gold Futures 1-Ounce Gold Futures (Dec 2025)COMEX:1OZZ2025perpetualcurrentCME in 2025 launched a new futures instrument called 1-Ounce gold. Day trading margin requirement is $16.5 and overnight trading margin requirement is $165. This has been a great way to start trading in live markets with low capital requirements. 1OZ price action closely mirrors GC gold futures so there is a lot of content and experts that share their ideas about where gold is going. 1OZ is equivalent to 1/100 of Gold Futures and tick sizes are 0.25 equivalent to $0.25. Great for a beginner like myself to get a feel of the markets to test strategies and also experience the emotions of being in a position; being up and being down. These emotions cannot be simulated when backtesting or paper trading. While experiencing these emotions, I have been journaling how the trades make me feel and behave. I have learnt more about myself that day-to-day life experiences do not subject me with. I started my journey mid-2025 and so far I have had more losing trades than wins. However, 0.25 tick only represent 25c I treat it as the paying the market a low-fee for my education. Who knows if I will be resilient enough to continue this journey in the months or years to come? We all have to start somewhere/sometime. Hope I have the discipline to stay the course and not give up. Is anyone out there a beginner like myself trading 1OZ? Please comment and tell me how 1OZ has been treating you?
