NEW! Commodity CFDs Comming Soon

Tricom Trader clients are now able  to trade Commodity CFD contracts.

Tricom Trader Commodity CFDs lower the barriers to trading the most liquid global commodities markets. The CFDs offer traders access to products from the energy complex, precious and base metals, soft commodities and grains at lower margins and smaller contact size than futures contracts.

Commodity CFD lot sizes are a fraction of the future.

Commodity CFDs are denominated in smaller lots than the underlying future. For example, the US Crude CFD is 25 barrels of oil, rather than 1,000 barrels. Each CFD is quoted as 1 unit of the underlying contract (e.g., 1 barrel), but there will be a minimum trade size.

Higher leverage on the Commodity CFD compared to the future.

CFD margin requirements are lower than for the underlying future, offering more exposure for less. Tricom Trader half-margins also apply to Commodity CFDs, lowering margin requirements even further for the first $75,000 (or equivalent) of collateral required on your account.

No commissions on Commodity CFDs.

 A commission is not charged, but there is a spread included in the price Tricom Trader derives for each CFD. This derivation means that whilst the CFD prices track the underlying future they are not exactly the same.

Access the world’s most liquid commodity markets.

Up to 20 Commodity CFDs will be on offer in the coming months. Each CFD is underlain by a futures contract but does not carry the same name or symbol as the future.

Commodity CFDs expire each month.

 Like futures, Tricom Trader Commodity CFDs will expire each month and will be cash settled on the expiry date of the underlying future. Front month (current contract) and back month (following contract) will be offered to enable clients to manually roll positions from one contract to the next.

Product highlights include:

USCRUDE, derived from the US Light Sweet Crude Oil futures contract. And in the coming months a wide range of other commodities will be added to the line-up.

Minimum trade sizes a fraction of the corresponding future – trade as little as 25 barrels for USCRUDE
Greater leverage – margins from 5% on the first $75,000 of collateral

eBridge Trader Coming Soon

Tricom Trader will be changing its name to eBridge Trader shortly as part of the new Stonebridge Group.
