I'm new here. I'm looking for a European (by preference) broker who will let me trade the perpetual crude oil continiuous contract. (futures) (CL00 | Crude Oil Continuous Contract Overview | MarketWatch) I know some brokers who won't let me trade this one. Any suggestions?
Isn't it possible to trade a perpetual/continues contract? Is it only possible to trade the monthly expiries?
All continuous contracts are not tradable. Go trade Dec 2022 contract, then roll over continuously / perpetually.
If you absolutely insist on a 'continuous contract' you could try an ETF that is composed of futures that the fund managers actively roll for you. Of course, there's a fee embedded for this service... You'll have to look into the fine print, though. A quick look at USO, for example, shows it is composed of a wide variety of months and won't match a 'front month always rolled' continuous contract. https://www.uscfinvestments.com/holdings/uso EDIT: If I were you, I would just roll myself. Note that you don't have to trade each leg when it comes time to roll; you can buy (or sell if short) a calendar spread instead.
If you don't know what is a continuous contract, then I would suggest you to not start trading Futures. You should start learning the basics first. Or as Stat wrote, try one of the ETF.
