CRUDE OIL TRADING INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS
Empirical Trading Investment Office runs a trading operation speculating on price movements in crude oil that integrates global macro fundamentals, a deep understanding of market behavior, and an evidence-based approach gathered from order flow, price action, pattern recognition, seasonality, and institutional-grade sentiment indicators, in the implementation of high-conviction asymmetrical trades and long-term directional views.
Crude oil is considered the mother of all commodities and has powered our world for centuries. Despite increasing warnings regarding climate change, rising energy demand has pushed crude oil consumption to record levels and likely suggests crude oil will remain a significant part of the global energy mix for longer than most expect. It's becoming increasingly apparent that crude oil may not simply fade into obsolescence. Oil still remains one of the world’s most important resources.
The global oil market is no longer solely influenced by the supply and demand of physical oil barrels. Professional trading operations, commodity trading advisors, and hedge funds managing large portfolios of oil derivatives are equally crucial in determining the price of oil.
We monitor the markets, analyze market data, and trade price action, and at times of high-conviction and the risk/reward asymmetry is distinctly compelling, we scale into positions and trade in-and-out of positions in order to maximize returns.
The crude oil market is so important to virtually all of the world economies that it is subject to macroeconomic and political factors to a much greater degree than other markets. It is also the focus of a huge degree of manipulation by key players. Once these macro factors and the agendas of the key players are understood then working out the direction that the market will move over time is relatively straightforward.
Once a major macro theme has established itself then it can dominate the direction of trade for a long period. This means that traders can position themselves for long-term and extremely sizable moves in the oil markets. Aside from long-term trading opportunities, there are always opportunities in play over shorter periods for making money whether markets are going up or down that potentially can lead to a lot of money being earned.
We run a high-speed trade execution and allocation platform enabling investors to receive the same trades automatically adjusted proportionally to each account balance in separate accounts held with a regulated financial institution that provides daily and monthly account statements.
