Trade Commodities

 About the Commodities Market

Commodities are some of the most liquid assets you can trade and offer unique portfolio diversification opportunities.

Commodities Trading Example

Buying COCOA

Leverage 1:100

Opening the Position

Opening price of the COCOA against the US Dollar is 2100

You decide to sell 1 standard lot (the equivalent of 1) at 2100.

Margin required to open the position is USD $2100/1 = USD $2100.

Closing the Position

Closing price of the COCOA against the US Dollar is 2500

One day later the COCOA price moves to 2500, you decide to take your profit by closing your buying position.

Market movement = 2500.00 – 2100.00 = 400

1 pip of COCOA (per 1 lot) = $10

Gross profit on Trade = USD $10*400 = USD $4,000
