What are spot commodities?
Spot commodity markets are non-expiring and are not subject to an expiry date or rollover charges. These markets are priced based on the Futures contract and offer the opportunity to trade these markets long-term without the need to roll your position on expiration of the current futures contract.
Continuous charting is available on these markets. This allows you to apply deeper levels of technical analysis to your commodity trading compared with traditional commodity market charting.

How do I calculate how much margin I need to trade a commodity?
To work out how much margin you need to trade a commodity market, you divide the notional value of your position by its margin factor. Say, for example, that you want to open an oil position worth $5000 and oil has a margin factor of 10%. You’d need (10% of $5000) $500 as margin.
How you calculate the notional value of your trade depends on how you’re trading the commodity. With CFDs, it’s the number of contracts you’re trading multiplied by the value of each individual contract.
