### 🏛️ RWA (Real World Assets)

Traditional real-world financial assets, including forex pairs, commodities, and indices.

#### 💱 Forex

**Available pairs (7):** USDEUR, USDGBP, USDJPY, USDAUD, USDNZD, USDCAD, USDCHF

Forex pairs represent traditional currency markets and allow you to trade major world currencies against the US dollar.

#### 🥇 Commodity

**Available pairs (2):** XAU (Gold), XAG (Silver)

Commodity pairs reflect the value of physical assets and are traditionally used for hedging and portfolio diversification.

#### 📊 Indices

**Available instruments (4):** SPY (S\&P 500), QQQM (NASDAQ 100), DIA (Dow Jones), IWM (Russell 2000)

Indices are traded via ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) — listed funds that track the performance of their respective index. The instrument price is the price of one ETF share, not the index value in points. This is not a CFD or a synthetic product: ETFs trade at real market prices and closely follow the index's performance in both direction and percentage.
