Could anyone please explain to me how the long swap on oil is calculated?
Yesterday, long swap on XTIUSD was around -2.55, today it is -3.68.

XTIUSD is currently trading at around $18.30, June contract is about $7 higher. If we assume that there is going to be $7 differential on rollover day and May contract has expired, does that mean that daily rollover is going to be 700 cents ($7) divided by 30 days = 23.3 cents?

In the specification of the contract, it also say that the 3-day swap occurs on Wednesday. I presume this accounts for weekend, 2 extra days, is this correct?

I have large long position because I thought I can sit through the downturn even couple of months if necessary but if long swap goes to some silly number, I will be hit hard.

How can June contract be priced this high??

Yes, I am interested in this too. I cancelled my (intentional long term)position immediately with the same concern...

thanks.

still dont know how to calculate it as I dont know the exact inputs they are using to calculate it. Its a lot more straightforward on FX

I got in touch with my broker but they basically had no clue and said at the end that it is what is provided to them by their liquidity providers

but i suspect that they will be calculating it as per my earlier email. which is a nightmare scenario

Most people are buying oil, I think temporarily should not buy because there is already surplus demand in this Chinese virus season, so there is not much need to move. I have recently lost crude oil. it hurts

Their all kind of CFD brokers with their mixed rules Hope one day CMEgrop will provide some micro futures so everybody is freed from this junk.

WTI market, right now, is like a twilight zone, at least to me... But it appears to offer interesting BUY opportunities RIGHT now.. Not sure If I should risk it at this mess and on Friday (afternoon in my timezone...)
Can you afford to take that chance?

Ok, set TP at 24.31, that price difference (+0.24) would seem nice, specially at higher leverage

Wow that was QUICK. TP HIT (Success)! Not bad... Crazy move... 0.24 price difference means about 50%/trade... at 50:1... Epic... Have enough for today, obviously
