Attention: During the time period from 23:55 to 00:15 server time increased spreads and decreased liquidity can take place due to daily bank rollover. In case of inadequate liquidity/spreads during bank rollover, widened spreads and excessive slippage may occur. Therefore orders will not be executed during these times.
The Trading Desk will ensure that the flow of pricing reflects current market prices for the open during which time any orders or trades held over the weekend will be subject to execution. During this time the pricing being streamed is non-executable for new market orders.
Note: Following the move from one trading session to another, from time to time there is a degradation in market liquidity. This is normal behavior in the market but may result in some orders being filled at a price different to that requested and that the spreads may also widen during this time. After the open, traders may place new trades, and cancel or modify existing orders.
Energy Overnight SWAP Rates
All Energy contracts are subject to an overnight SWAP with triple SWAPS being applied on the positions held over a Wednesday.
Please note that both Oil contracts are in USD.
