Why trade commodities?
Commodity is a two-way transaction, which can be long (buy up) or short (buy down).
In simple terms, if you think the price of a commodity will go up, you buy it; if you think it will go down, you sell it. If the direction is judged correctly, the middle price difference will be earned.

The calculation method is as follows: Total profit and loss = (selling price – buying price) x contract unit x trading lot ± overnight interest
Note: There is no need to pay overnight interest when closing the position on the day of opening the position; the actual overnight interest is mainly based on the actual transaction; no commission is charged for placing orders through the CM Trade platform.
Give me a example
You buy 3 lots of gold USD XAUUSD at the price of 1801.22 through the CM Trade platform, and the contract unit of each lot is 100 ounces, and you close the position at the selling price of 1804.22 on the same day.

Total profit
=(selling price – buying price) x contract unit x trading lot ± overnight interest
=(1804.22-1801.22)*100*3±0=$900
