Empirical Trading Investment Office is the Private Investment Office of Robert Nash, a professional trader with 34 years trading experience and a deep understanding of market behavior that runs a Commodities Tading House specializing in crude oil and opportunistic trading in natural gas, gold, silver and copper.

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. In the past the daily trading volume of oil derivatives was roughly similar to daily oil consumption. Today the ratio is 60 to 1, which means that if 100 million barrels per day are being consumed globally, 6 billion oil derivatives are traded. 

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 based on real-time market behavior and price action for making money whether markets are going up or down that potentially can lead to a lot of money being earned.

The trading operation is based on real-time price action and market behavior, seasonality, and technical analysis, with varying levels of holding periods. At times when the risk/reward asymmetry is distinctly compelling capital is scaled into high-conviction long-term strategic positions and on shorter time frames positions are added and offloaded incrementally to generate a steady flow of profits that compound into high double-digit annual returns.

Outsourced trading is available that duplicates the trading operation, trade for trade, with real-time execution of the same trades in the security of accounts that are held with a Cayman Islands Monetary Authority regulated financial institution that issues statements directly to account owners​. Whether you're starting with $100,000 or $1,000,000 you'll receive the same trades automatically adjusted to your account equity.​ Accounts have high liquidity and can be withdrawn from or can be deposited into at any time. Capital can be allocated in small increments and scaled as confidence grows.
