BRENTCrude oil
Brent crude oil comes from the North Sea between Norway and the United Kingdom. It is one of the main crude oil brands and is said to be a high-quality light oil. Brent crude tends to move in tandem with prices of abundant refined petroleum in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Brent crude oil is a light oil with a low sulfur content.
london diesel
London gas oil is targeted for light oil after refining crude oil. It should be noted that the price is set more than 10 times higher than crude oil because of the refining process. London gas oil tends to move in the same way as crude oil as a price movement habit. However, caution should be exercised as large movements occur on rare occasions.
Natural gas
It refers to natural gas extracted in Russia. In addition to Russia, natural gas is extracted in the Middle East and Northern Europe, but Russia has an overwhelming share of the market. Since Russia is currently at war with the rest of the world, natural gas trading has the potential for large price fluctuations, so political news must be obtained at any time.
WTI crude oil
WTI crude oil is the general term for West Texas Intermediate crude oil originating from West Texas in the United States. It accounts for 6% of the crude oil produced in the United States and 1 to 2% in the world, so it is a fairly major brand. WTI crude oil is said to be suitable for refining into gasoline and kerosene because of its low sulfur content.
WTI Crude Oil Mini
The WTI Crude Oil Mini is a reduced trading volume per lot of WTI Crude Oil. WTI crude oil trades at 1 lot = 100 barrels, while WTI crude oil mini trades at 1 lot = 10 barrels. In other words, this brand is very suitable for those who want to start with small amount trading or trial trading, so it can be said that the risk is kept low.

24 hours tradeable
Crude oil trading is different from other stocks in that it is available for trading 24 hours a day, except for one hour of rest, and is determined by a large settlement deadline called the expiry date, so settlement is forced to occur every month. The expiry date refers to the date by which positions held must be settled by that month. The key is to use the official platform and play during times of low volatility. Be careful when doing so, as it depends entirely on the timing.
Leverage and Margin Requirements
Leverage varies by system depending on the symbol and stock. The maximum leverage is as follows. The required margin also changes depending on the leverage. Gather enough capital to use right now, create a strategy, and trade. In fact, because of the high liquidity, you will definitely need a considerable margin.

swap point
Since crude oil does not have interest or dividends, only the difference between buying and selling is simply profit. At the same time, there are no swap points. Also, there are dividends in stock investments, but there are no dividends in crude oil.
wide spread
Spreads are often said to be wide on XM trading, and this trend is particularly pronounced in the case of energy. Since the spread is at least 4 pips to 5 pips, the hurdle to making a profit is high. Therefore, it can be said that it is suitable for day trading and swing trading, not for scalping trading.
