What Do I Need to Start Trading Commodities?

To start trading Commodities on Pluang, you need Commodities in your Pluang app, a completed Global & Yield Asset Verification and a funded USD Margin (Commodities) wallet. Commodities is rolling out gradually, so update the Pluang app to the latest version; if it isn't there yet, it will appear as the rollout reaches your account. The first time you tap Buy (Long) or Sell (Short), a Disclaimer appears. Tapping Confirm means you agree to the Commodities Trading Rules, and your Commodities account is set up automatically within seconds; the wallet doesn't need a separate activation step. You fund it by moving USD from USD Cash or converting from your Rupiah balance. There is no knowledge test. Commodities is available in the Pluang app only for now.

• Access: Commodities is rolling out gradually to Pluang app users. Update the app to the latest version. If Commodities isn't there yet, it will appear as the rollout reaches your account.
• Verification: Global & Yield Asset Verification must be complete before you can trade Commodities.
• Trading Rules: the first time you tap Buy (Long) or Sell (Short), a Disclaimer appears. Tapping Confirm means you agree to the Commodities Trading Rules, and your Commodities account is set up automatically within seconds. Each order confirmation also states that you agree to Pluang's Terms & Conditions and the Commodities Trading Rules.
• Wallet: Commodities trades use only the USD Margin (Commodities) wallet. It doesn't need a separate activation step: fund it by moving USD from USD Cash or converting from your Rupiah balance.
• Funds: the minimum order is 1 lot. At illustrative reference prices, the margin for 1 lot is US$43 for gold, US$35 for silver and US$16 for Brent crude, and it moves with the live price. The order page shows the exact Est. Margin Required, which can be slightly higher than this simple calculation. Fees come on top. Pluang recommends depositing well above the bare margin, because a position opened with no buffer is already close to the margin call and second warning levels.
• Where to trade: in the Pluang app, go to Explore → Commodities → Leverage, then pick gold (XAUUSD), silver (XAGUSD) or Brent crude (UKOUSD). You can't place orders while the market is closed.
• Know the risk: Commodities is a leveraged trading product with a medium-to-high risk profile, not a savings product. For holding gold over the long term, Pluang Emas is the better fit.

Q: Do I need to pass a knowledge test to trade Commodities?
No. Commodities has no knowledge test. The first time you trade, you accept the Commodities Trading Rules, and you need a completed Global & Yield Asset Verification and a funded USD Margin (Commodities) wallet. Commodities is still leveraged trading, so it's worth understanding margin, leverage, margin call and liquidation before you open your first position.

Q: How much money do I need to start trading Commodities?
The practical minimum is the margin for 1 lot plus fees. At an illustrative gold price of US$4,300, 1 lot of XAUUSD needs US$43 of margin at up to 100x leverage, and opening it costs about US$0.11 in fees. That bare minimum leaves almost no buffer: with only US$45 deposited, the margin call would come after a fall of about US$10. This is why Pluang recommends depositing well above the bare margin. Prices are illustrative, not live quotes.

Q: Which wallet do I use for Commodities?
Commodities trades use only the USD Margin (Commodities) wallet. It is completely separate from USD Margin, the wallet for leveraged US Stocks, and a loss in one of these two wallets never affects positions in the other. You fund USD Margin (Commodities) by moving USD from USD Cash or converting from your Rupiah balance.

Q: Why can't I find Commodities in my Pluang app?
Commodities is rolling out gradually, so it may not appear for everyone yet. Update the Pluang app to the latest version, then look under Explore → Commodities → Leverage. If it still isn't there, it will appear as the rollout reaches your account. Commodities is available in the Pluang app only for now; it can't be accessed through Web Trading or Agentic Trading yet.
