Oil is a resource that is involved in the production of everything that surrounds us. It is very important for the development of any economy. Oil is not available everywhere in the world. Some countries have a lot of it, while others no have. To reduce oil volatility from strong manipulations - in 1960 an organization OPEC was created in Iraq. This organization include country has the largest oil reserves in the world. Every quarter they meet to discuss production quotas for countries and prevent dumping on the market. Largely thanks to this organization, oil prices can be kept stable most of the time. However, oil is very sensitive to supply and demand. And if a conflict of interests is brewing in the OPEC cartel, then fragile supply and demand is disrupted and oil shows strong movements. Also, the balance of supply and demand is affected by climatic and political events that cannot be predicted. The most unpredictable event for oil was Covid-19. What is the oil trading strategy? Oil is very dependent on the balance of supply and demand in the market, so in order to successfully trade in this asset you need to carefully monitor news and political events in the world. Any event, epidemic, earthquake, war can significantly change the pricing of oil. If the situation around the war with Iran drags on and the Strait of Hormuz is closed for several months, and attacks on oil facilities continue, then oil risks staying at levels of $100-120 for a long time. When trading oil, I advise you to adhere to 3 principles: 1) Strategy and risk management are the basis. Clearly define your strategy for trading these assets. Each trade must have a risk/profit ratio of at least 1:2. 2) Every time you open a deal, always set a stop loss and take profit. 3)Clear focus on the instrument and news that can affect the price. Friends, remember that oil trading has its own specifics. This asset should only be traded if you already have experience trading in the markets.
