A standard oil CFD lot is 1,000 barrels, so a $0.01 move (one pip) is worth $10 and a $1.00 move is $1,000 per lot. Some brokers use 100- or 10-barrel contracts; choose yours in the calculator above and the lot size adjusts while your dollar risk stays the same.
Margin Calculator Formula
Margin = (Contract Size × Lots × Price × USD Rate) ÷ Leverage
Example (WTI Oil): 1 lot at 89.19 = $89,190 position; at 10:1 leverage: $89,190 ÷ 10 = $8,919
About WTI Oil — West Texas Intermediate crude oil, US dollars per barrel
WTI is the US crude benchmark, priced at Cushing, Oklahoma. It is driven by OPEC+ supply decisions, the weekly EIA inventory report, US production and global growth expectations, and can move several percent in a session on geopolitical headlines. Broker CFDs usually track the front-month NYMEX future, so the quoted contract rolls every month.
