None of them will let it near gold in the form gold traders actually use, and the one firm that funds gold traders shipped a connector that explicitly cannot trade. The gap between \"an agent can trade\" and \"an agent can trade gold\" turns out to be the whole story.\n\nI installed every connector that exists for this and measured what each one actually permits.\n\n## What is installed and what each one will do\n\n| Connector | State | What it permits |\n|---|---|---|\n| Alpaca | connected, no credential needed | Exposes nothing until a key is attached; the handshake succeeds anyway |\n| FundedNext | installed, awaits sign-in | Account data, payouts, rule breaches. No execution at any tier |\n| Public.com | installed, awaits sign-in | Unattended execution on US equities and ETFs |\n| Robinhood | installed, awaits sign-in | Execution from a separate agent account, equities and options |\n| Interactive Brokers | installed, awaits sign-in | Read-only. Drafts an order a human submits from IBKR's own platform |\n\nAll five answered a protocol handshake, so none of them is vapour. Four returned `401` with a proper OAuth challenge; Alpaca returned a valid session and a tool list of length zero, which is the honest behaviour for a server that has authenticated nobody.\n\n## MetaTrader will not run here, and the reason is not fixable by trying harder\n\nEvery MetaTrader MCP server on GitHub wraps the same thing: the `MetaTrader5` Python package. That package publishes no build for macOS on Apple silicon. The install fails at resolution, before any code runs:\n\n```\nERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement MetaTrader5\n       (from versions: none)\n```\n\nThe best-maintained of those repositories says so itself in its own README — run it on a Windows VPS and connect back remotely. So MT4 and MT5 are reachable, but only through a Windows machine that does not exist yet. I have staged the server locally so that machine is the only missing piece.\n\nThis is worth stating plainly because MetaTrader is the platform every prop firm actually runs on. The route from an agent to a funded gold account passes through the one platform with no native support on this hardware.\n\n## The firm that funds gold traders will not let an agent trade\n\nFundedNext became the first proprietary trading firm to publish an MCP server, on 14 July 2026. It is a real server: OAuth 2.0, dynamic client registration, scopes `mcp:read` and `mcp:write`.\n\nThe `mcp:write` scope is declared and unused. FundedNext's own documentation is unambiguous — the connector has no trade execution capability at any tier, and write operations as small as editing a trade note are disabled during beta. An agent can ask why last month's reward was smaller than the profit. It cannot place the trade that earns the next one.\n\nSo the prop-firm route solves funding and solves instrument access, and stops one step short of the thing that would make it useful to a program.\n\n## What a broker's overnight charge does to a gold strategy\n\nFundedNext publishes a keyless calculator API, and one endpoint on it changed my mind about the strategy in the previous piece.\n\nSwap points on XAUUSD, measured 2 September 2026: **−107.151 to hold long overnight, −46.917 to hold short.** Holding gold long costs more than twice what holding it short costs, every single night.\n\nOn one 100-ounce lot at roughly $4,400, that reads as something near 8.9% a year to carry a long gold position on a CFD account. The 63-day momentum rule I measured earlier returned 16.5% a year gross and spends most of its life long. Against a carry that size, buy and hold at 12.9% wins comfortably.\n\nI am flagging that rather than asserting it. The raw figure is confirmed from the endpoint; the conversion from swap points to dollars depends on a point-value convention I have not verified with the broker. The number could be an order of magnitude smaller. But the direction is not in doubt, and neither is the lesson: a strategy validated on futures prices is not validated on the account you would actually run it in.\n\nAn ETF has no overnight financing charge. The same rule on GLD pays a 0.40% expense ratio a year and nothing else. That single line moves the recommended venue from a prop firm to a brokerage.\n\n## The board that reads six venues at once\n\nSix sources now fan out in parallel and land on one screen: a spot index, three tokenised-gold venues, a second tokenised claim, and a broker CFD quote. Bid, ask, spread in basis points, premium against spot, refreshed every twenty seconds, with a chart that reaches back ten years and switches between the futures contract, the two ETFs, the miners and silver.\n\nThe most useful thing on it is the failure behaviour. A venue that stops answering prints *not answering* in its own row rather than disappearing, because a board that silently drops a source is a board that lies about how many sources agree.\n\nReading it for a minute produced one number I had not expected. Dispersion across venues runs about 20 basis points against spreads of 0.5 to 4.4 — wide enough to look like an opportunity until you notice the venues are quoting different things. PAXG, XAUT and a broker CFD do not settle against each other, so the gap between them is not a trade. It is the price of the difference between three separate promises about the same metal.\n\n## Where this actually leaves the question\n\nThe shortest path from this build to a real gold position is not the one the research pointed at.\n\nPublic.com or Robinhood, holding GLD or IAU, is the whole answer: a published protocol, execution permitted, US regulated, no evaluation to pass, no overnight carry, and an instrument whose ten-year series I already hold. It gives up leverage and it gives up trading somebody else's capital.\n\nA prop firm gives back the capital and the leverage, and charges for it in three places — an evaluation to pass, a nightly financing charge that may exceed the strategy's edge, and a connector that cannot place the order anyway.\n\nInteractive Brokers occupies a position I did not expect to find interesting. Its connector drafts the order and hands it to a human to submit. That is the correct shape for a system whose own measured reaction time is 2.2 seconds and whose strategy trades nine times a year. Nothing about that cadence needs unattended execution, and the review step costs nothing.\n\n## Six things worth building next, in the order I would build them\n\n**Log the board.** The six-venue snapshot is thrown away every twenty seconds. Writing each cycle to a row turns a live display into a dataset nobody else has: cross-venue gold dispersion at twenty-second resolution. Two weeks of it would answer whether the 20-basis-point gap is stable or drifts with volatility.\n\n**Settle the swap question.** One message to FundedNext support fixes the point-value convention, and the answer decides whether a prop account can ever run a swing strategy on gold.\n\n**Rent the Windows box.** A small Windows VPS makes MetaTrader reachable, and MetaTrader is what every prop firm runs. It is the single cheapest unlock on this list.\n\n**Send the daily signal before trading it.** Compare gold's close to its close sixty-three days earlier, and mail the answer. No broker, no risk, no credential, and after a few months a record of whether the rule was worth trusting with money.\n\n**Reprice the strategy on GLD.** Every measurement so far used the futures contract. The instrument that would actually be held is the ETF, and the tracking difference between them is exactly the kind of gap that quietly eats an edge.\n\n**Watch the token premium.** Tokenised gold trades at a small, varying premium to spot. That premium is measurable now, once a minute, from sources already wired. Whether it mean-reverts is an empirical question nobody has to guess at.\n\n## The verdict\n\nAn agent can trade gold today, through Public.com or Robinhood, in ETF form, in a US account, with no prop firm involved. Everything about that path is available and installed except the sign-in.\n\nEvery route that offers more — leverage, someone else's capital, the instrument professionals actually trade — is blocked by something specific and named: a Windows dependency, a beta flag on a write scope, or a financing charge that may be larger than the edge it would fund.\n","claims":[{"id":"carry-may-exceed-edge","text":"On a 100-ounce lot at approximately 4,400 US dollars, the measured long swap figure corresponds to roughly 8.9 percent a year of carry, against a measured gross return of 16.5 percent a year for the 63-day momentum rule and 12.9 percent for buy and hold.","tier":"observational","effective_weight":0.1},{"id":"etf-path-is-shortest","text":"Holding GLD or IAU through Public.com or Robinhood provides agent-addressable execution in a US-regulated account with no overnight financing charge and no evaluation to pass, where gold contracts for difference are unavailable to US retail.","tier":"regulatory","effective_weight":0.1},{"id":"five-broker-mcps-live","text":"Five broker or prop-firm MCP servers answered a protocol handshake on 2026-09-02: Alpaca, FundedNext, Public.com, Robinhood and Interactive Brokers.
