FxPro Commodity CFDs guide

Commodity CFDs let traders take leveraged positions on the price of raw materials such as energy, metals or agricultural products without owning the underlying asset. If you are considering FxPro for commodity CFD trading, this page explains what to research and verify before opening an account. We do not confirm here which commodity instruments FxPro currently lists, what leverage applies, or what fees are charged, because these details change and vary by entity and region. Instead, this guide sets out a practical verification workflow so you can check the current facts directly with the broker.

What commodity CFDs are and how they work

A commodity CFD is a contract that tracks the price movement of a commodity, often via futures prices or spot benchmarks. You post margin rather than the full notional value, which magnifies both gains and losses. Because many commodity CFDs are priced off futures contracts, traders should understand concepts such as contract rollover, expiry-based pricing adjustments and the difference between spot and futures-based instruments. These mechanics affect holding costs and how closely a position tracks the headline commodity price over time.

Commodity CFDs are leveraged derivatives; you never own the physical commodity.
Futures-based CFDs may be subject to rollover adjustments that change your position value or cash balance.
Overnight financing, spreads and any commissions all affect the real cost of holding a position.
Contract size and tick value determine how much each price move is worth in your account currency.

What to verify with FxPro before trading commodity CFDs

Before assuming any commodity instrument is available at FxPro, check the broker's own published market or instrument list for the specific entity you would open an account with. Availability, leverage caps and margin requirements often differ between regulatory regions and account types. Read the contract specifications for each instrument you plan to trade, and confirm trading hours, minimum trade sizes and how rollovers or expiries are handled. If anything in the documents is unclear, ask the broker's support team in writing before funding an account.

Confirm the current commodity instrument list on the broker's official site for your region and entity.
Check contract specifications: spread type, contract size, margin requirement, trading hours and expiry handling.
Verify which regulator supervises the entity that would hold your account and what leverage limits apply.
Request written confirmation from support for any detail that is not clearly documented.

Costs, risk controls and comparison steps

Commodity markets can move sharply on supply news, weather events and macro data, so position sizing and stop placement matter more than in many other markets. Model your holding costs before trading: overnight financing on leveraged positions can erode returns on longer trades. You can use the margin interest calculator at /tools/margin-interest-calculator to model leveraged cost scenarios, review broader CFD education at /cfd, and screen brokers side by side at /tools/compare-brokers before committing to any one provider.

Model overnight financing costs for your intended holding period before opening a position.
Size positions so that a normal daily range in the commodity does not threaten your account.
Compare several brokers on documented instrument coverage and costs rather than marketing claims.
Re-check specifications periodically, as brokers can change margin and instrument lists.

FAQ

Does FxPro offer the specific commodity CFDs I want to trade?

You need to confirm this directly on FxPro's current instrument list for your account entity and region. Instrument availability changes over time and differs between regulatory entities, so do not rely on third-party summaries or older reviews.

How much leverage applies to commodity CFDs?

Leverage limits depend on the regulator overseeing your account entity, your client classification and the specific instrument. Check the broker's published margin requirements and the applicable regulatory rules before trading.

What costs should I check before trading commodity CFDs?

Review spreads, any commissions, overnight financing charges, rollover adjustments on futures-based contracts and currency conversion fees. All of these should be confirmed in the broker's current fee documents and contract specifications.
