Research the details behind every broker offer
Oil and energy products require careful attention to contract mechanics. This page compares access to WTI and Brent while emphasizing spread, margin, financing, trading hours, rollover and the risks of sharp commodity price gaps.
WTI and Brent are not interchangeable
A broker may offer different specifications for WTI and Brent: quote currency, contract size, minimum trade, spread, margin and trading schedule. Review the exact instrument rather than assuming every oil CFD works the same way.
Rollover, financing and gap risk
Ask how the broker handles expiry, rollover and overnight financing. Energy markets can react quickly to inventory data, OPEC decisions, geopolitical events and weekend gaps.
Regulation and product suitability
Check the legal entity, retail leverage restrictions, negative-balance protection and whether the product is available in your country. Leverage can amplify losses as quickly as gains.
