Read guide →Why trade oil?
Oil (USOIL) is the world's oldest store of value and one of the most actively traded financial instruments. With over $5 trillion in daily trading volume, the oil market offers unmatched liquidity, tight spreads, and 24-hour access across global sessions.
Unlike stocks, oil trades continuously from Sunday evening to Friday evening (UTC). Its price is driven by clear, understandable factors — US interest rates, the dollar, geopolitics, and inflation — making it more predictable than many forex pairs for trained analysts.
For retail traders, oil's high volatility (500+ pips daily range) creates significant profit opportunities on both the long and short side. Combined with leverage available through forex brokers, even small accounts can participate in meaningful oil trades with proper risk management.
