I have seen that you offer the live trading on Interactive for US-equity and forex.
In other platform, like Oanda or FXCM, gold is forex(XAUUSD)
but in Interactive, gold is London Gold, an commodity.
Can I trade XAUUSD(spot gold) on interactive by QuantConnect?
Alexandre Catarino
We model XAUUSD as a CFD like Oanda and FXCM has specified it.
Since IB says that "IB Spot Gold (symbol XAUUSD) and IB Spot Silver (symbol XAGUSD) are available to most customers who are not residents of the U.S. or certain other countries." (link) It looks like a derivative to overpass that residence restriction to metals trading.
You should contact Interactive Brokers for more info about XAUUSD.
