Commodities Trading Conditions

Gold and silver trading is available on the Kridex platform from 00:00 (Market Watch Time) Sunday till 00:00 (Market Watch Time) Friday. Gold and Silver trading follows CME holiday closures.

Trading of gold and silver is executed in lots.
1 lot traded of gold = 100oz
1 lot traded of silver = 5000oz.

Gold and silver quotes are similar to Forex. Gold is traded against the US dollar or the EUR value and is displayed as XAU/USD or XAU/EUR.

Silver is displayed as XAG/USD. Spot prices for Gold and Silver are the equivalent in US dollars per troy ounce. Therefore, for a price quote of XAU/USD 1299.50, 1oz of gold is equal to $1299.50

When trading Gold, 1 lot is 100 troy ounces and Silver is 5000 troy ounces. Therefore, the smallest price increments are equal to the troy ounce equivalent in USD.

Using leverage of 1:100 and example pricing trading one lot
XAU/USD - Price (1299.50) x Contract Size 1 lot (100 oz) / Leverage (100) = $1299.50
XAG/USD - Price (20.57) x Contract Size 1 lot (5000 oz) / Leverage (100) = $1028.50.

Kridex Oil products do not have expiration dates, Kridex offers 24 hour trading on oil symbols. Oil trading follows CME holiday closures.

To calculate the margin required to place the minimum trade size, simply multiply the minimum trade size by the margin required (per contract). Margin required is calculated in the Currency the Instrument is denominated in.

1 lot of crude oil is equal to 100 barrels. The minimum margin requirement for oil is $200. One contract (lot) x minimum margin requirement $200 = US$200.

Commissions apply for Commodities: ECN $/€14, Pro $/€12 per round lot traded. The Classic account has no commissions.

Leverage for Commodities trading is up to 1:200 (or 0.5%). In order to effectively display the movement of profit/loss on Indices, Kridex has established a minimum/incremental trade size as detailed above. Margin required is calculated in the Currency the Instrument is denominated in.

Clients can change the leverage of their accounts by logging in to the client area and selecting to change leverage/margin. Leverage cannot be changed whilst there are open orders. The Leverage/Margin level is subject to change at any time without prior notice according to the decision of the company.
