Energy Futures
OTC Energy Futures
Energy Futures involves use of a legally binding agreement to buy or sell energy futures. This takes place at an agreed price and at a set time period. Futures contracts each have standard characteristics in terms of quantity, quality, time and delivery.
Trading with future contracts provides customers with a risk management tool to protect the price of your purchase or sale. It also offers the opportunity to get involved in the precious metals market without having a position in the physical energy markets. 
OTC Brent Crude Oil Future
Brent crude oil is the second most popular product with many traders, and serves as the benchmark for European and OPEC pricing. The minimum price movement is USD 0.01 (1 ‘tick’ or ‘point’). Therefore the smallest tick value is $10, e.g. 78.45 – 78.46 = $0.01 therefore (0.01 USD * 1000 = $10).
Our Brent crude oil futures are traded with a contract for difference (CFD), based on an Exchange Futures Contract that will expire at a set date.
