CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. The vast majority of retail client accounts lose money when trading in CFDs. You should consider whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Trade contracts in two ways

The contracts on our MT5 Trader are based on the those that professional institutions can trade on Flux Terminal. Each of our contracts can be traded as a CFD or with Spread Betting.

CFDs (Contracts for Difference)

CFD trading allows you to speculate on whether the price of a financial asset will go up or down. This allows you to potentially profit in both rising and falling markets, making a profit if you’re right or a loss if you’re wrong.

CFD trading is particularly attractive because it doesn’t require the same major financial outlay as actually buying the asset you’re speculating on. The price you pay depends on the margin, which is typically a fraction of the asset’s value.

Spread betting

Spread betting enables you to predict whether the price of financial instruments will increase or decrease without owning the underlying asset.

Instead of buying or selling the asset itself, you place a bet on the direction of its price movement. Your profit or loss is determined by how far the market moves in your favour or against you, measured in points.

How are the calculations different between the underlying market, CFDs and Spread Bets?

Underlying Market
  • Contracts are priced in $ per MT (metric tonne) or BBL (barrel).
  • Tick value: $10 per $0.01 price movement.
  • Lot size: 1KT (1,000 tonnes) / 1KB (1,000 barrels).
CFDs
  • Designed to resemble the underlying market closely.
  • Contracts are priced in $ per MT (metric tonne) or BBL (barrel).
  • Tick value: $1 per $0.01 price movement.
  • Lot size: 0.1KT (100 tonnes) / 0.1KB (100 barrels).
Spread Bets
  • Always denominated in USD.
  • Tick value: $1 per $0.01 price movement.
  • Lot size: 0.1KT (100 tonnes) / 0.1KB (100 barrels).
Standardised Lot Sizes
To simplify trading, both CFDs and Spread Bets will use a standardised lot size of 0.1KT/0.1KB. This ensures consistency across both products, with a smaller lot size than the underlying market to facilitate more accurate hedging.

Are there any exceptions to the standardised lot sizes?

The only exception is the Mogas Arb contract:
  • CFD lot size: 0.1KT with a tick value of $3.50.
  • Spread Bet: $3.50 per point to replicate 0.1KT.

What is the minimum trade size for each market?

The minimum trade size remains the same across both CFDs and Spread Bets and depends on the specific contract. Please refer to the Contract Specifications Table for details on minimum sizes.

How do tick values work?

Tick value represents the monetary value of a single tick (price movement). For example:
  • Underlying Market Example: 1 tick = $10 for a $0.01 price movement with a 1KT or 1 KB lot size.
  • CFD and Spread Bet Example: 1 tick = $1 for a $0.01 price movement with a 0.1KT or 0.1 KB lot size.

How do I transition from industry experience to trading these contracts?

If you’re familiar with physical or paper oil markets, our platform’s CFD and Spread Bet contracts mirror these markets closely. However, due to the differences in lot sizes and calculations, we recommend:
  • Starting with smaller trades to familiarise yourself with the mechanics.
  • Consulting the Contract Specifications Table for detailed tick values and lot sizes.

What tools are available to help me trade?

Our MT5 Trading App provides:
  • Real-time market data to track price movements.
  • Risk management tools, including stop-loss and take-profit orders.
  • Educational resources, such as webinars and guides.
  • Access to our customer support team for any queries.

Are there risks involved in trading these contracts?

Yes. Leveraged trading carries significant risks, including the potential for losses exceeding your initial investment. Ensure you understand:
  • The contract specifications.
  • The impact of leverage.
  • Market volatility.
We recommend reading our Risk Disclosure before trading.
