Trading oil involves buying and selling oil-related instruments in order to generate profits.
Oil is a vital global commodity, featuring as a basic ingredient in many different industries including electricity, plastics, cosmetics, transportation, pharmaceuticals and petroleum. Many industries monitor the price of oil very closely and actively trade in the oil market due to its importance in global commerce. As a result, the oil market is highly volatile.

Oil Trading
Oil trading involves two types of risk.
The first is the risk associated with trading itself. Commodities such as oil are traded on futures markets and offer a high degree of leverage. High levels of leverage can be risky since you can lose more than what you have deposited. When considering leverage, traders should apply robust risk management strategies.
Oil is the second key risk. The price of oil is highly influenced by supply and demand factors since it is a commodity. An environmental policy change or political decision can cause a sudden drop in oil prices.
Oil trading is divided into two sessions: Brent crude oil and West Texas crude oil.
Sun – Fri, 18:00 – 16:59 EDT are the trading hours for West Texas oil.
The spreads offered by Agility are extremely competitive, changing throughout the day. Open a free demo account and practice trading with virtual funds to see how spreads work in real-time.
