How oil CFDs work

USOIL tracks West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude and UKOIL tracks Brent, the two global oil benchmarks. One lot of crude oil is 1,000 barrels, so a one-cent move changes the value of one lot by 10 USD. You can trade from 0.01 lots.

Weekly inventory reports, producer meetings and shipping disruptions often cause sharp moves, so plan your stop loss and position size carefully.
