Application field
The personal composite trading instrument &XAUAUD is used for multi-year dynamics analysis of Gold vs the Australian dollar, as well as for comparative analysis with another popular instrument – XAUUSD . For example, by building a percentage chart for two instruments &XAUAUD and XAUUSD (Рict. 1) on the trading platform NetTradeX, it can be seen that Gold exhibited significantly smaller growth dynamics in the 5-year period against the AUD compared with the growth against the USD, especially in the period from August 2010 to July 2013.
