Margin is what the broker locks up while the position is open — not a fee, and not the most you can lose. Your own broker's tier for gold may differ; check it before you size up.
Gold is quoted to two decimals, so its pip is a cent, not a ten-thousandth. A standard lot is 100 troy ounces, which makes the arithmetic unusually kind: every pip is exactly $1.00 per lot, whatever the price of gold does.
