CFD Cheat Sheet

 

Please ALWAYS check the specification as contract size can vary depending on the broker.

 

We base our position sizing on Focus markets and Fusion markets. There are some differences in contract sizing when trading indices.


📈Crude Oil (USWTI)📈

  • 00.01 = 1 pip
  • 1 contract = $1 per pip (USD)
  • 0.1 contract = $0.10 per pip (USD)
  • 0.01 contract = $0.01 per pip (USD)

Eg: $60.00 – $59.00 = 100 pips

  • 1 contract: $1 x 100 pips = $100 (USD)
  • 0.1 contract: $0.10 x 100 pips = $10 (USD)
  • 0.01 contact: $0.01 x 100 pips = $1 (USD)

You will need to make adjustments to convert back into AUD.
