What Golden Group legally published, but does not want you to read

Every clause below is published by Golden Group itself, on its own website, today. The finding is not that the text exists. It is the distance between what a client is shown and what a client agreed to. Read from its own documents on .

Contracting entity: Golden Group

Golden Group publishes one legal document, a single page about abnormal trading. The client agreement it says binds you is nowhere on the site. That one page lets Golden Group freeze your account and stop your withdrawals. It can also take every profit it decides came from abnormal trading, with no notice. Its homepage promises the opposite: no account freezes, fixed spreads and no slippage.

What the documents say

10 clauses worth knowing about, worst first, each quoted from Golden Group's own files

01

Golden Group publishes one legal document, a single page about abnormal trading. That page says it forms an inseparable part of the Golden Group precious metals client agreement. That agreement is not on the site, so you cannot read the contract you are signing.

Why this matters

You open the account without seeing the withdrawal terms, the fees, the governing law or the court that would hear a dispute. None of it is published, so there is nothing to hold Golden Group to later.

Exhibit 1CriticalRarely seen1

本通函的内容屬於《Golden Group 貴金屬交易客戶協議書》不可分割的一部分。
Quoted in 《有關異常交易定義及處理方式客戶須知》, p.1

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia)

Firms licensed by the FCA or ASIC must give a retail client the terms of business and a product disclosure document before that client trades. Golden Group names its client agreement in a public notice and does not publish the agreement.

Golden Group is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Our readingA notice that declares itself part of a larger agreement, where the larger agreement is not published, leaves a client bound by terms they cannot read. What Golden Group publishes is the sanctions half of a contract whose obligations half is missing.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 3The one page a client can read is the page that takes powers over their money, and the document setting any limit on those powers is missing.
02

Golden Group's homepage sells fund safety with a promise of no account freezes and fast, safe transfers in and out. Its only legal document lets it freeze your account and suspend all trading and withdrawals, with no notice. The promise runs in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Why this matters

The sentence that reassured you sits on the page you were sent to. The clause that undoes it sits in a PDF linked only from the Chinese footer. If your withdrawals do stop, the support desk in that footer works Monday to Friday, holidays excluded.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia)

Firms licensed by the FCA or ASIC must keep a promotion fair, clear and not misleading, and must not promise an outcome their own terms let them withdraw. Golden Group's homepage promises no account freezes while its one legal document grants them.

Golden Group is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Same clause as Exhibit 3The freeze the homepage rules out is the first of the measures the notice grants.
03

Once Golden Group decides your account is an abnormal trading account, it claims an absolute right to seven measures. It says it does not have to tell you first. It can freeze the account, stop every withdrawal, force your positions closed and take all the profit.

Why this matters

Your money stops moving on the day that decision is made. Nothing in the notice sets a deadline for the investigation, and nothing gives you an appeal. The profit goes first, so the gain you were trading for is the part you lose.

Exhibit 3CriticalHarder than usual7

本公司嚴禁上述行為。若任何交易帳戶被本公司認定為“異常交易帳戶”，本公司保留採取以下任何一項或多項措施的絕對權利，且無需事先通知：

  • Only applies after Exhibit 4None of the seven measures starts until Golden Group calls the trading abnormal, and it has not published the test for that.
04

The notice lists examples of abnormal trading, then sends you to rules it says it publishes from time to time on its website. Those rules are not on the site. Golden Group is left as the only judge of whether your trading crossed a line it has not drawn.

Why this matters

Holding positions briefly, scaling up quickly, or running any plug-in Golden Group has not approved can all be read into that list.

Exhibit 4CriticalHarder than usual

What it costsA position raised from 0.1 lots to 10 lots is the notice's own example of a lot size jump, and that is a hundredfold increase. The notice sets no product, no time and no size at which an increase becomes abnormal.

05

Golden Group does not say anywhere on its site what a trade costs you. There is no spread table, no commission schedule and no deposit or withdrawal fee list. The page it titles Contract Details is empty.

Why this matters

You deposit without knowing the spread, the overnight charge or the cost of getting your money out. The one spread rule you can find says Golden Group may adjust it, and the platform's live display decides.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must give a retail client the costs and charges of a product before that client trades, in a form the client can keep. Golden Group publishes no spread, no commission and no funding fee anywhere on its site.

Golden Group is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Our readingThe cost of a trade here is set entirely by what the terminal shows at the moment of dealing. With no published spread, commission or funding charge, a client has no figure to check a fill against and nothing to dispute it with.

Golden Group's homepage promises what its one document takes back

Fund safety, fixed spreads and no slippage sit at the top of Golden Group's homepage in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Its abnormal trading notice lets it freeze an account and stop all withdrawals without notice. Its August 2026 notice says spreads move with the market and a stop loss can be skipped.

Promise against document1 clause flagged

Fixed spreads and no slippage head Golden Group's list of reasons to choose it. Its August 2026 notice says the spread may be adjusted when the market moves sharply, and that the platform's live display governs. The same notice says the price can skip straight past your stop loss.

Why this matters

A spread that widens when gold moves is the cost of every trade you place at that moment. A stop loss that can be skipped is not the protection the homepage sold you.

An agent's paid commission can be taken back

Golden Group can recover commission it has already paid an agent, and can cancel that agent's status. The trigger is its own judgement that the agent's client traded abnormally. It advertises multi level commission to recruit agents and publishes no agency agreement.

Agent exposure1 clause flagged

Golden Group can claw back commission it has already paid you as an agent, if it decides one of your clients traded abnormally. It can also cancel your agent status outright. Its agent programme is advertised with multi level commission, and no agency agreement is published.

Why this matters

Money you were paid months ago can be taken back over a trade you did not place and cannot see. The decision is Golden Group's, and no published agreement sets out how you would contest it.

There is no published way to complain to Golden Group

No complaints procedure, no response time and no independent scheme appear anywhere on Golden Group's site. Its July 2026 statement says it preserves evidence of content it judges untrue and reports it to regulators and law enforcement. It also reserves civil, administrative and criminal claims against everyone involved.

Raising a complaint1 clause flagged

Golden Group publishes no complaints procedure, no time limit for raising one, and no independent scheme you could escalate to. A July 2026 statement says it will report content it judges untrue to regulators and police, and pursue criminal liability.

Why this matters

If Golden Group freezes your account, nothing published tells you who to write to or how long an answer should take. It also judges for itself which posts about it are untrue, and it says it refers those to the authorities.

Exhibit 9WarningHarder than usual

我集团已安排专责部门对相关不实内容进行证据保全，并将依法向有关监管及执法机构正式举报。同时，集团已委托律师事务所全程跟进此事，保留对所有涉事主体追究法律责任的一切权利，包括但不限于民事、行政及刑事追责。

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), ASIC (Australia)

Firms licensed by the FCA or ASIC must run a written complaints procedure with set response times, and must give retail clients access to an independent scheme such as the Financial Ombudsman Service or AFCA. Golden Group publishes neither.

Golden Group is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Golden Group asks for your identity and publishes no privacy policy

The only privacy link Golden Group offers leads off its own site, to an encyclopedia entry explaining what a cookie is. Nothing published says what happens to the identity documents it collects to open an account. Its client portal asks you to accept a cookie policy it does not publish.

Your data1 clause flagged

The footer link labelled 隐私条款, meaning Privacy Terms, does not go to a Golden Group policy. It opens an entry in Baidu's online encyclopedia explaining what a browser cookie is. Golden Group collects your identity documents to open an account and publishes no privacy policy of its own.

Why this matters

Nothing published tells you what Golden Group does with your passport scan, how long it keeps it, or who it shares it with. Its client portal says that using the site means you accept a cookie policy. The link beside that sentence shows no policy either.

Exhibit 7WarningRarely seen

Downloaded from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingA privacy notice that resolves to a third party encyclopedia entry is not a policy at all. There is no stated purpose, no retention period, no list of recipients, and nobody at Golden Group is bound by any of it.

Three licence numbers, and no named company to match them

Golden Group's footer lists an ASIC number, a Seychelles number and a Canadian MSB number, with no company attached to any of them. The page it titles Regulation and Compliance is blank in all three language versions. Every footer names JP DEMNAN CAPITAL GROUP PTY LTD at a Sydney address, which no document explains.

Who you deal with1 clause flagged

Golden Group's footer lists an Australian ASIC number, a Seychelles number and a Canadian MSB number. Its homepage says financial institutions in several countries supervise it. The page it titles Regulation and Compliance is empty in all three languages, and no document names the licence holder.

Why this matters

You cannot tell which company holds which licence, so you cannot check any of them before you deposit. Nothing published says your money is held separately from Golden Group's own, and no compensation scheme is named.

Set against a regulated standard: ASIC (Australia), FCA (UK)

Firms licensed by ASIC or the FCA must hold retail client money in segregated client accounts and say so in their terms. Golden Group's site makes no statement about where client money is held.

Golden Group is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Same clause as Exhibit 1The only company name in the whole published shelf is a brand inside the title of an agreement nobody can read.

The documents this reading is based on

5 files, all published by Golden Group. Each shows when we read it and a fingerprint of its wording.

WIKILIX keeps the copy of each file it read, and does not republish it: what is published is the fingerprint of its wording. Download the file yourself and hash its text, lowercased with runs of whitespace collapsed, and a matching fingerprint means the wording quoted above is still the wording Golden Group publishes.

Who the contract is with

Golden Group

No document on the site names the company you contract with. The only legal document calls itself part of the 《Golden Group 貴金屬交易客戶協議書》, and that agreement is not published. Every page footer carries one company name: JP DEMNAN CAPITAL GROUP PTY LTD, at a Sydney address. The footer gives no registration number and does not say how that company relates to the Golden Group brand. The company profile page calls Golden Group a consulting services company headquartered in Australia, not a financial services firm.

Quotations are copied verbatim from the documents named above, with the clause number and the page each one came from. Where a clause is quoted in another language, the original is shown first and the English is a translation.

The plain-language parts, what a clause means for a client, how ordinary it is, and how it reads against a regulated standard, are WIKILIX's analysis and are labelled as such on every card. This is a reading of public documents, not legal advice and not an allegation of wrongdoing.

In fairness, and what we could not check

A reader who knows the edges of the work can trust the middle of it

The abnormal trading notice limits what Golden Group can take. Measure 2(f) returns the remaining principal after the abnormal trading profit is deducted, so a client's deposit is not swept along with the profit. The August 2026 volatility notice is honest about risk. It says plainly that a stop loss can be skipped when the market gaps, that spreads widen around holidays, and that this is normal in spot gold. Both documents are a page long, written in plain language, and readable without an account.

Golden Group publishes one legal document, and we read it in full. The client agreement that document names is not on the site. We looked in the footers of the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and English versions, and on the client portal login page. We could not reach the account opening form inside the portal. So we cannot say whether the agreement is shown to you once you start registering. No earlier version of any of these documents exists, so this is a first reading. Two notices publish their numbers as pictures rather than text: the gold overnight charges from June 2026, and the holiday deposit and withdrawal times from September 2026.

How to check any of this yourself

Every quote above links to the Golden Group file it came from. This is what to do with it.

Open the three stepsFind the words in the source, work out the fingerprint, and read what a difference does and does not prove.

Open the source and search for the words

Every quote has a link under it. Open the file, or the web page, and search it for the words we quote. The clause number next to the quote tells you where to look.

If the words are not there any more, the source may have changed after we read it. That is worth knowing too. We keep the date we read it, and a code worked out from its wording, so the quote stays checkable.

What a fingerprint is

A fingerprint is a code worked out from what a source says. Change one word and the code changes completely. We keep two codes for every file we read, and the panel on each source shows both.

The first is the code of the exact file we downloaded. The second is the code of its wording alone, with capital letters lowered and runs of spaces collapsed. When the same words are saved as a new file, the first code changes and the second one stays the same.

Only the first code can be worked out on your own computer. Save the file, then run one of these, putting the name of the file you saved where the example is. The panel on each source prints the command with that source's real file name already in it.

macOS or Linux:
  shasum -a 256 the-file-you-saved.pdf

Windows:
  certutil -hashfile the-file-you-saved.pdf SHA256

The two codes are different from each other, and they are not meant to match. Comparing one against the other proves nothing.

What a difference means, and what it does not

A different file code on its own proves nothing. A PDF saved again with a new date inside it is a new file saying exactly the same thing.

A different wording code means the words themselves changed. That is the one that matters, and it is why we keep it.

Even then, a change is not proof of bad faith. Companies update their documents. What this report says is what the document said on the day we read it, and every quote carries that date.

A source that is a web page and not a file has no file to save, so only the code of its wording is shown.

How this report is made

Every clause quoted above comes from a document Golden Group publishes on its own website, downloaded and hashed on the date shown, with the clause number and page recorded so any reader can check it. We do not allege anything the documents do not say, and we do not judge Golden Group on anything other than its own published terms and its own public marketing. Where a clause has a qualifier that softens it, the report says so. Last read Oct 16, 2026.

If you represent Golden Group and a clause has changed, been withdrawn, or is being read out of context, tell us and we will re-read the documents and update this page. Corrections from the broker are welcome and are published with the reading they change. Contact us.

This is a reading of a contract, not legal advice and not a ruling on Golden Group. Whether its licence is real and current is a separate check on the broker profile.
