Oil Trading FAQs

There are two main types of risk associated with oil trading.

The first is risk associated with trading itself. Oil is a commodity that is traded on futures markets and offers a high degree of leverage. Using high levels of leverage can be risky as there is potential to lose more than what you have deposited. Traders should apply robust risk management strategies whenever leverage is being considered.

The second key risk is associated with oil. Because it is a commodity and the price is greatly influenced by wider supply and demand factors, oil prices can be volatile. For example, a political decision or change in environmental policy can cause the price of oil to drop suddenly.

The oil trading market is split up into two trading sessions: Brent crude oil and West Texas oil.

The trading hours for Brent crude oil are Mon – Fri 01:00 – 22:59 GMT.

The trading hours for West Texas oil are Sun – Fri 18:00 – 16:59 EDT.
