ThinkMarkets reduces minimum trade size on major indices and spot oils

ThinkMarkets has reduced the minimum trade size on four major indices and both spot oil instruments. The change applies across ThinkTrader and MT5. 

Lower minimum trade sizes 

The minimum trade size has been reduced from 0.10 lots to 0.01 lots on the following instruments: 
 

Why this matters 

At a 10th of the previous minimum, lot sizes can now be set far more precisely on some of the most actively traded indices and energy markets globally. For traders managing exposure across multiple instruments, or working within a fixed risk-per-trade framework, finer lot increments give greater flexibility to scale positions in line with account size and risk tolerance. 

Tick value, margin requirements and trading hours for each instrument remain unchanged. Full details are available on the contract specifications page. 
 

BTCUSD mini added

Separately, ThinkMarkets has added a new BTCUSD mini instrument, available across ThinkTrader and MT5. It provides a smaller-sized way to trade Bitcoin against the US dollar alongside the standard BTCUSD market.
