Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We provide access to Micro Gold (MGC), Micro Silver (SIL), and other smaller-sized contracts when available. These contracts allow traders to manage exposure more precisely and diversify across commodities with lower margin requirements.

Margin requirements are set by the CME Exchange and can change as volatility fluctuates. Your clearing FCM may also apply “house” margin levels for additional risk control. All margin adjustments are automatically reflected in your account’s daily statements.

All trades are executed through exchange-traded contracts and cleared by your selected FCM (R.J. O’Brien, StoneX, or Phillip Capital). Clients receive daily statements directly from their FCM, detailing every fill, margin update, and open position with complete transparency.

Wisdom Trading operates on a commission-only model — with no management fees, incentive fees, or system licensing fees. You pay only the trading commissions associated with executed orders through your account.

Our clients include:

  • Diversifiers seeking exposure to non-equity assets

  • Systematic traders implementing mean reversion or trend strategies

  • Hedgers using metals and energy markets to manage inflation or production risk

Yes. Clients can choose which markets to trade — for example, focusing only on precious metals (Gold, Silver) or energy contracts (Crude Oil, Natural Gas). Portfolio customization allows you to align market exposure with your risk tolerance and trading objectives.
