Higher margin requirements

Tronex applies risk management measures to protect positions from possible high volatility during key events and specific time periods that impact the general volatility of the market.
Higher amounts of margin are required to open an order during these periods, known as HMR (Higher Margin Requirements) periods. The higher margin requirements will apply only to positions opened within these periods, and the margin requirements of existing positions will not be affected.
Closing an open hedged position during HMR periods can fail if there is insufficient free margin to cover the higher margin requirements, specifically the higher margin requirements on the latter half of a hedged order at the time of closing.
The HMR periods include:

Economic News Periods: All forex trading that happens from 15 minutes before major news releases until 10 minutes after will be subject to higher margin requirements.
Weekends & Holidays: All forex trading that happens from 2 hours before markets close on Friday and for 1 hour after the market opens on Monday will be subject to higher margin requirements. The same rule applies to trading holidays.

Spreads

Tronex  offers floating spreads on all energy commodities for all account types. Therefore, the spreads in the contract specifications table represent the average spread based on the previous trading day. For live spreads, please refer to the trading platform. Please note that spreads may widen when the markets experience lower liquidity, including rollover time.

Dynamic Leverage

Tronex offers dynamic leverage on crude oil for most account types. The leverage values listed in the contract specifications table represent the maximum leverage available for each trading instrument. Please note that the maximum leverage will vary depending on your net open positions. Dynamic leverage does not apply to Natural Gas. For more details, please refer to the Dynamic Leverage page.

Chart prices

Tronex offers a variety of trading accounts to suit each trader’s needs and preferences. We offer accounts with raw pricing on which additional commissions are charged. Other account types have no commission but instead have mark-ups incorporated in the prices. By default, the chart in the MetaTrader trading platforms will display the raw pricing, while the market watch will display the pricing of the account type that the client is trading on.

Fixed leverage

Tronex  offers fixed leverage on Natural Gas for all account types. In this case, the maximum leverage displayed in the contract specifications table will NOT change based on your net open positions or account type.

Tronex  also offers fixed leverage on certain account types for all products. For these account types, the maximum leverage displayed in the contract specifications table will NOT change based on your net open positions. The fixed leverage applies to Cent & Micro account types.

Stop level

Tronex  defines the stop level as the minimum distance (difference in pips) between the current market price and the pending order price. The stop level values in the contract specifications table are subject to change and may not be available for traders using certain high-frequency trading strategies or Expert Advisors.

Swaps

Tronex applies Swap long for keeping buy positions open overnight, and Swap short for keeping sell positions open overnight. Swaps occur at 23:59 Server Time each day, excluding the weekend, until the position is closed. Triple swaps are charged on Wednesdays to cover financing costs incurred over the weekend.

FAQ's

What is the role of supply and demand in energy trading?

Supply and demand are fundamental factors in determining the price of energy products. When supply is low and demand is high (e.g., during winter for heating oil or electricity), prices tend to rise. Conversely, when supply exceeds demand, prices may fall. Energy traders use these dynamics to predict price movements.

What are the risks of energy trading?

Energy trading can be highly volatile due to factors like:

  • Weather events that affect supply and demand (e.g., hurricanes, cold snaps).

  • Geopolitical factors (e.g., OPEC decisions, political instability).

  • Regulatory changes in energy policies.

  • Fluctuating energy prices.
    These risks can impact your profits or losses, and effective risk management is crucial.

  • Choose a broker or exchange that offers energy trading.

  • Open an account and deposit funds.
