Important information regarding USOIL JUNE 20 instruments
29 April 2020
The WTI Crude Oil June 20 futures contract (CLM20) is expected to experience heightened market volatility before it expires, and as a result we will be moving the expiration date of CLM20 forward by one week.
USOIL June 20 instruments will now expire on Friday, May 8th, 2020, at 6.30pm GMT.
With immediate effect, we will now only accept closing trades on USOIL June 20 instruments until expiry. New positions can be opened as usual on July and August instruments.
Important information about your trading account
23 April 2020
Due to unprecedented levels of market volatility (and an extreme occurrence where we have witnessed the WTI Crude Oil May contract trade at a negative price), we will be taking the following course of action.
We will not be quoting any product at a negative value.
In the event that any product offered by ADSS does touch a price of zero or below, we will settle all positions in this instrument. Please be aware that positions could be settled at a negative price.
At our discretion, we may also turn products to ‘Close Only’ (depending on underlying market conditions).
Margins are subject to change, and there could be further changes to our trading conditions, so please ensure you take appropriate measures to manage your positions and minimize risk.
