What is Brent crude oil?
Brent is a light crude oil from the North Sea and the most widely used benchmark for pricing crude traded around the world. This market follows the US dollar price of one barrel. Oil prices tend to respond to production decisions by OPEC and its allies, global demand, inventory levels and geopolitical events.
The xyz:BRENTOIL perpetual tracks the price of Brent crude oil, settles in USDC and never expires. It is listed on XYZ, a builder exchange: a market run by an outside team on Hyperliquid's order book. You can go long or short with up to 20× leverage, around the clock.

Size a BRENTOIL trade from its stop
Hypurr Desk asks where your stop goes and how much of your account you are willing to lose there, then works out the size. An example at 111.92, from when this page was built:
- Account
- $1,000.00
- Risk
- 1% = $10.00
- Stop
- 2% below entry, at 109.68
- Size
- 4.36 BRENTOIL ($487.86)
- Loss at the stop, fees included
- $9.98
- Leverage
- 18× cross, $27.10 margin
The stop sets the loss, not the leverage: leverage only decides how much margin the position ties up. Move the stop and the size follows, so a wider stop means a smaller position and the same loss. The stop is placed on the exchange with the entry. How risk sizing works.
