For actual oil trading you need to use the futures contract which is CL-201608-NYMEX.


1. Yes. USOil is a FXCM CFD symbol and it cannot be traded. You need to use the Numbers Bars study only on the futures contract symbol.

2. Not really.

3. The symbols will not change but the Futures data will come from from the SC Exchange Data Feed. The volume data will be accurate in this case.
