Spot Trading means buying and selling of assets at the current market price, with the intention of taking delivery of the assets immediately.

At STARTRADER, you can spot trade energies via CFDs. So, you do not take ownership of the underlying asset, but benefit from real-time change in pricing of the asset. Moreover, you can trade larger volumes with only a small investment(margin). While this can lead to greater profits, it can also amplify losses, which is why you must always invest and trade wisely.

To explain this better, let us consider an example where you think the price of wheat is going to increase and so you buy the spot wheat market (going long). If the price of wheat increases, you make a profit but if it decreases, you make a loss.

What are the most traded commodities in the world?

The most traded commodities, by trading volume, are US crude oil, Brent crude, copper, natural gas and agricultural products – such as coffee, wheat and sugar.
