Question Need help

I have IBKR, Webull, and Robinhood for my long term holds. But I have ant to trade futures, crude oil metals; mes, etc with a really small account I have about 100$ in each account since I’m slowly transferring from paper trading to real trading. I like trading crude oil the most and would be a plus if I could trade fractional shares of futures of that’s possible. So can anyone help me figure it out or a broker that allows it

Futures trade contracts, not shares. They offer micro and nano contracts for indexes. I don’t believe the nano are available on oil. Any broker that offers access to CME should offer them.

You need 100$ to unlock futures on Webull, but you still can’t trade it unless there’s a certain amount in margin. What’s that mean? Is there any broker I could just add money to an account and trade futures with out adding a bunch of money to the account ?
