What are Energy Futures contracts?
Energy futures are leveraged contracts on crude oil, natural gas and refined fuels, where prices move on OPEC+ supply decisions, inventory data and disruptions to global supply
Macro Volatility Exposure
Move beyond stock indexes with assets driven by global supply, physical demand, and geopolitical cycles rather than equity market sentiment
Exchange-Set Margin
Trade full-size crude oil and natural gas contracts with exchange-set margin requirements, or use Micro contracts for smaller positions
24/5 Global News Reaction
Trade OPEC+ events, EIA inventory releases, and global supply shocks as they break, day or night

Energy Futures FAQs
1. What are Energy Futures?
Energy futures are exchange-listed contracts to trade the future price of commodities such as crude oil, natural gas and refined products. KGI Crusoe offers energy futures across crude oil, heating oil, natural gas and gasoline, traded on NYMEX, part of CME Group. Contract size, tick value and expiry are set by the exchange and published in the contract specifications
2. What's the difference between CL, QM and MCL Crude Oil Futures?
CL, QM and MCL all track the same WTI crude oil price but at different contract sizes. CL is the standard contract at 1,000 barrels. QM, the E-mini, is half that size at 500 barrels. MCL, the Micro, is one-tenth the size of CL at 100 barrels. All 3 settle against the same underlying price
3. What moves Energy Futures prices?
Crude oil and refined product futures respond to OPEC+ supply decisions, weekly US inventory data from the EIA, and geopolitical events affecting major producing regions. Natural gas futures are more sensitive to weather forecasts, since heating and cooling demand drive short-term consumption. Seasonal demand patterns affect gasoline and heating oil differently through the year
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Energy Futures?
Margin on energy futures is set by the exchange and varies by contract, moving with volatility, particularly around inventory reports and supply disruptions. Brokers can require additional margin above the exchange minimum. KGI Crusoe has no account minimum; capital required depends on the contract and quantity traded. Current figures are listed in the contract specifications
5. What are the risks of trading Energy Futures?
Energy futures are leveraged, so a small price move can produce a large move against your margin, and losses can exceed the amount deposited. Prices can move sharply around inventory data and supply announcements. Physically deliverable contracts carry delivery obligations if held into the delivery period, so most traders close or roll positions before then
