  1. Hi Karthik - you trade / watch crude in second session only?
    What are the timings and lot size for this contract and is it liquid in second session?
    What other contracts are liquid in late night session if I want to observe?

  2. Hi Bhavir,

    Real movements happen in Crude oil after 5.00 PM.
    It starts at 10.00 AM and goes on upto 11.00 PM. I am doing book trading. It will take sometime, before I do real trades.

    Crude mini contracts can be traded with a margin of just Rs.1500. I think the lot size is 10. I have to check. I believe that liquidity should be more in the second session, going by the big moves.

    I have no idea abt other contracts. I feel, if we can master crude oil, that is enough. Very good moves happen every day in crude oil. But it happens at breakneck speed and we have to trade Crude oil with a slightly different approach, (as opposed to Nifty) something, I am learning.

    Thanks,
    S.Karthikeyan

  3. Hi Bhavir,
    I can shed some light on your doubts. Crude oil markets are active in the evening session especially after U.S market opening. There are two contracts named crude oil mini and crude oil available in MCX. Crude oil mini lot size is 10 and the normal crude oil lot size is 100. It is exceptionally liquid in the evening session. As it is slightly effected by the INR movement, it's better to trade commodities in the evening session as INR is normally stable after 5 O clock. Heard that Natural Gas and Gold contracts are liquid, but I never traded them. As studying crude oil fundamentals is very complex, most of the traders trading crude oil stick to technical analysis and that makes the movement much more reliable as per price action. As SK already pointed out, the moves are very very quick for the same reason of mass technical analysis dependency.
