Available Commodity Markets
Precious Metals Trading
We offer trading in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Gold is quoted as XAUUSD with spreads starting at 0.3 pips during peak London trading hours. Silver trades as XAGUSD with typical spreads near 0.8 pips. Platinum and palladium spreads are wider due to lower liquidity. Contracts adhere to international standards: gold contracts cover 100 troy ounces per lot, silver contracts 5,000 troy ounces. Micro lots are available for smaller trades.
Energy Commodities
Crude oil options include WTI and Brent contracts. WTI features average spreads of 0.5 pips during active sessions. Brent oil presents similar volatility with slightly higher spreads. Natural gas contracts have variable spreads influenced by market conditions. Our platform integrates economic calendars highlighting inventory releases and geopolitical events impacting energy prices. Guaranteed stop losses are available to mitigate risk in these volatile markets.
Agricultural Products
Corn, wheat, soybeans, and coffee represent our agricultural commodities. These markets show seasonal price patterns due to harvest cycles. Corn contracts are measured in bushels with standard lot sizes, while coffee follows ICE exchange specifications. Weather updates and crop reports are accessible within the platform to aid analysis. Trading hours correspond to respective exchanges, including overnight session availability.
Platform Setup and Configuration
Our MT4 and MT5 trading terminals support all commodities offered. After account approval, download links appear in the client portal. Installation requires Windows 7 or above, with at least 512MB RAM and a stable internet connection. To configure the platform, open Market Watch, right-click, and select “Show All” to reveal all commodity instruments. Symbols include prefixes specifying contract types.
- Download MT4 or MT5 from your client dashboard
- Install with administrator privileges
- Log in using your account credentials
- Add commodities to Market Watch for quick access

We suggest 1-hour and 4-hour charts for swing trading commodities. Scalpers should enable 1-minute and 5-minute charts with tick data to track price movements precisely. Expert Advisors function fully with commodities, though margin requirements differ from forex pairs. Position sizes should consider contract specifications and currency conversion rates.
Trading Mechanics and Execution
Order Types and Execution
Exness supports market, limit, and stop orders for commodities. Market orders execute instantly at current prices, while limit orders enter positions at specified prices. Stop orders trigger trades once a price level is reached. Partial fills can occur where liquidity is low; however, our system attempts full fills first. You can set maximum slippage limits to avoid unfavorable price executions.
Margin Requirements
Margins vary by commodity volatility. Gold requires a 1% margin for standard accounts, oil needs 2%, and agricultural commodities typically call for between 3% and 5%. Our margin call triggers occur at 50% equity, with automatic closures at 20% to protect your capital. Swap rates apply for overnight positions according to contract specs and currency interest rates.
| Commodity | Margin Requirement | Contract Size | Pip Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gold (XAUUSD) | 1% | 100 oz | $10 |
| Silver (XAGUSD) | 2% | 5,000 oz | $50 |
| WTI Oil | 2% | 1,000 barrels | $10 |
| Natural Gas | 3% | 10,000 mmBtu | $10 |
Risk Management Strategies
Stop loss placement is critical when trading commodities due to high volatility. Wider stops than those used in forex are often necessary. We recommend risking no more than 2-3% of your account per trade. Position sizing tools help calculate appropriate lot sizes based on margin and risk levels.
- Set stop loss aligned with risk tolerance
- Use margin requirements to size positions accurately
- Establish take profit targets using technical analysis
- Monitor economic events impacting commodities
- Adjust trade sizes during volatile periods
Hedging is effective; for example, gold positions can offset currency depreciation risks. Energy commodities often protect portfolios during inflationary phases. Understanding correlations aids risk diversification: gold and silver correlate around 80%, oil and natural gas about 60%, and agricultural commodities follow seasonal patterns.
