Available Commodity Instruments and Trading Conditions

Our commodity CFD offerings cover precious metals such as gold (XAUUSD), silver (XAGUSD), platinum (XPTUSD), and palladium (XPDUSD). Energy commodities include WTI crude oil (USOIL), Brent crude oil (UKOIL), and natural gas (XNGUSD). We also provide select agricultural commodities and base metals. Pricing data is aggregated from top-tier liquidity providers to ensure tight spreads and accurate quotes.

Gold and silver spreads range from 0.3 to 0.8 pips during standard trading hours. Oil contracts maintain spreads between 0.3 and 0.5 pips even amid volatility spikes. Leveraging advanced aggregation technology, we have reduced spreads up to 68% below industry averages. Trading hours align with global market sessions to match liquidity and price discovery.

Margin requirements adjust dynamically during weekends and major news events. For example, oil margin requirements increase to 5% on weekends to mitigate risk. Real-time alerts notify Pakistani traders of margin changes via our mobile app. This adaptive system helps maintain consistent risk profiles across fluctuating market conditions.

Trading Hours and Market Sessions

Understanding active trading periods is crucial for commodities trading on Exness. Metals generally trade almost continuously from Sunday evening to Friday evening GMT. Energy commodities follow similar schedules but close slightly earlier on Fridays. Scheduled maintenance windows occur briefly each day to ensure platform stability. Pakistani traders should align their sessions with these timings for optimal execution and liquidity access.

Leverage and Margin Requirements

We apply fixed leverage ratios to provide transparent trading conditions. Gold and silver allow 1:100 leverage regardless of the account tier. Oil products have higher leverage limits—up to 1:1000 for crude oil, though natural gas leverage is limited to 1:20 due to higher volatility. Margin is calculated using continuously updated market prices with millisecond refresh rates. Our Negative Balance Protection ensures that losses cannot exceed the deposited capital, closing positions automatically at 0% margin levels. Position sizing calculators assist traders in defining risk per trade accurately.

We maintain deep liquidity pools for commodities, minimizing slippage during volatile periods.

Position Sizing and Risk Calculation

Minimum trade size is 0.01 lots for all commodities. For metals, one standard lot equals 100 ounces; for oil, one lot represents 1,000 barrels. Pip values are auto-calculated based on account currency and trade volume. Pakistani traders can use PKR as base currency with live conversion rates. Our position sizing calculator assists in defining lot sizes by inputting risk percentage and stop loss distance. Margin requirements display before order confirmation. Maximum permissible trade sizes vary with commodity and leverage settings.

Risk Management Tools and Features

To safeguard traders, we deploy automated risk controls. Margin Calls activate when equity falls below 60% of the required margin. Stop Out triggers automatic closure of positions at 0% margin to avoid negative balances. Negative Balance Protection is in place to guarantee no account goes below zero. These levels operate continuously to protect Pakistani traders from extreme market moves.

Volatility Management During News Events

Commodity prices often fluctuate sharply during economic announcements. We raise margin requirements by 2 to 5 times during high-impact news to mitigate risk. Our economic calendar flags upcoming events that influence commodity markets. Pakistani traders receive advance alerts via SMS and email. Key releases include oil inventory reports, employment data, and central bank decisions. We recommend conservative position sizing during these intervals.
