USOIL Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

Direct Technical Answer

USOIL contract size is 100 barrels on typical CFDs ($10 per $0.10) or 1,000 barrels on CL. Typical spread is 2.0 to 4.0 ticks ($0.02 to $0.04) with a $1.60 to $2.90 daily ATR. For $100,000, lots = 1000 / (stop ticks × 10) = 1.66 standard 1,000-bbl lots (or 16.6 100-bbl CFD lots) at a $0.60 stop.

WTI lives on Wednesday. EIA crude inventories at 14:30 UTC (10:30 AM ET) can print $0.80 in two minutes after the NYMEX 13:00 UTC open already swept yesterday's high or low. A 100-barrel CFD lot at $10 per $0.10 is not CL. Mixing 16.6 CFD lots with 1.66 CL lots is a 10× error. Size the contract you have, then wait for 13:30 to 16:30 UTC trend, not the 13:00 sweep and not the 14:30 first tick.

100 barrels vs 1,000 barrels, $10 per dime on the CFD

Many prop USOIL/XTIUSD CFDs are 100 barrels: $10.00 per $0.10 (10 ticks of $0.01). Full CL is 1,000 barrels: $10.00 per $0.01, or $1,000 per $1.00. The 16.6 CFD lot 1% figure is 100-bbl lots at a $0.60 stop ($10 × 6 dimes × 16.6 ≈ $1,000). The 1.66 lot figure is CL-sized. If you type 16 lots on CL, you risk about $10,000 at $0.60.

Spread 2.0 to 4.0 ticks ($0.02 to $0.04). ATR $1.60 to $2.90. Handles 70.00, 72.50, 75.00 ($1 / $2.50). NYMEX 13:00 to 18:30 UTC is the pit. Asia oil is a spread tax.

13:00 UTC sweep, 14:30 UTC EIA, OPEC weekend gaps

NYMEX open 13:00 UTC often sweeps the prior day high or low, then trends 13:30 to 16:30 UTC. Trading the sweep is the oil version of 9:30 AM Nasdaq. EIA Wednesday 14:30 UTC is the scheduled $0.80 landmine. OPEC+ weekend statements gap Sunday.

16.6 CFD lots or 1.66 CL lots at $0.60

CFD 100-bbl at $10 per $0.10: lots = 1000 / (stop_in_dimes × 10). At $0.60 (6 dimes): 16.67, stored as 16.6 at 1%, 8.3 at 0.50%. CL 1,000-bbl: 1.66 lots at 1%. Put the correct dollars-per-dime in the Half-Kelly Lot Size Calculator & Equity Guard.

Scalp $0.20 to $0.35 after 13:30 UTC, intraday $0.45 to $0.80, swing $1.20 to $2.10. EIA days use the swing stop at half lots or go flat. Mixing USOIL with UKOIL is one crude book, not two.

Trade 13:30 to 16:30 UTC after the sweep, skip EIA first tick

Map prior day high/low. Let 13:00 UTC raid. Enter 13:30 to 16:30 UTC at $1 handles with an 8.3 CFD-lot $0.60-class stop. Wednesday: flat into 14:30, then reduced size. OPEC weekends: flatten Friday if holds are banned.

Confirm 100 vs 1,000 bbl, unused CAD/UKOIL budget, and EIA calendar on the Pre-Trade AI Confluence Checklist. USOIL is a NYMEX inventory market. It is not a 5-lot forex habit.

Frequently Asked Questions: USOIL Lot Size and Pip Value Calculator: Contract Size, Tick Value & Kelly Sizing

What is USOIL pip value per 1.00 lot?

On a 100-barrel CFD, $10.00 per $0.10 (or $1.00 per $0.01 tick). On CL 1,000 barrels, $10.00 per $0.01. A $0.60 stop is $60 per 100-bbl lot and $600 per CL lot. Read the spec before typing 16 lots.

What lot size is 1% of $100,000 on USOIL?

16.6 lots of 100-bbl CFD at a $0.60 stop, or 1.66 CL lots. 8.3 CFD lots at 0.50%. If you are unsure which you have, compute dollars per $0.01 from MT5 and divide $1,000 by (stop in cents × that number).

How do I convert CL futures size to a prop oil CFD?

CL is 10× a 100-barrel $10-per-dime CFD. 1 CL ≈ 10 CFD lots for the same dollar tick risk. 1.66 CL ≈ 16.6 CFD lots at the $0.60 1% stop on $100,000.

Why wait until 13:30 UTC if NYMEX opens at 13:00?

The 13:00 open sweeps yesterday's high or low. Stops of $0.20 to $0.35 die there. The cleaner trend is 13:30 to 16:30 UTC. EIA at 14:30 still interrupts that window on Wednesdays.
