The energy market
Oil is a two-sided market
Crude oil prices respond to supply decisions, inventory data, currency movements and global demand expectations. Those factors move prices in both directions, and periods of rapid movement can work against a position as easily as for it.
Price movement in both directions
Energy CFDs can be traded long or short. Neither direction is more likely than the other, and no outcome is assured.
Defined session hours
Energies trade 01:00 to 24:00 server time, Monday to Friday, following the CME NYMEX session. Weekend trading is not available.
Spreads from 3 points
Variable spreads that may widen around inventory releases, production announcements and at session open and close.
Risk controls on every order
Stop loss, take profit and trailing stops are available on all energy instruments through MetaTrader 4.

Market spread
A reminder about risk in energy markets
Oil and gas prices can move sharply and unpredictably. Inventory reports, production decisions, geopolitical developments and demand revisions can all cause rapid repricing, in either direction and often without warning.
Leveraged energy positions magnify both potential gains and potential losses. With leverage up to 1:100, a small adverse move in the underlying price can represent a large move relative to the margin committed.
Margin call applies at 80% and stop out at 20%. Positions may begin closing automatically at the stop out level, but this does not guarantee that losses will be limited to any particular amount. You are responsible for monitoring your margin level at all times.
Consider defining your exit before you enter a position, and only trade with funds you can afford to lose.
