Why trade oil with FXCM?
Trade rising and falling markets
Go long if you think oil prices may rise, or short if you think they may fall. Market movements against your position can result in losses.
Use leverage
Oil CFDs and spread bets are traded on margin, so you can open a position with a fraction of the full trade value. Leverage can amplify both profits and losses.
Choose spot or expiring contracts
Trade spot oil products, where available, or futures-based oil CFDs such as USOil and UKOil. Futures-based oil CFDs have expiry dates, while spot oil products do not expire.
Trade with competitive spreads
Oil trading costs are built into the spread. Target spreads vary by instrument and are subject to market conditions.
