In order to profit from trading on oil, you have to know some basic points.
First: The oil market is highly liquid and requires a flexible approach
Where crude oil is moving from global production as well as global economic prosperity. For example, oil prices fell sharply from levels of 100 dollars a barrel to only 19 dollars in late 2014 and then returned oil to the current high of 80 dollars after stabilizing for a short period at the levels of 60 dollars.

Monthly reports
- Report of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which expects global demand.
- The International Energy Agency report also predicts global demand.
Third: Other external factors controlling the price of oil should be monitored
These factors include economic news such as political tensions in the production countries as an example of the political tensions in Nigeria and Libya, the size of the world supply and therefore increased oil.
As well as US sanctions imposed by the Trump on Iran, one of the largest producers of OPEC, which caused the state of global concern about the size of supply in the oil market.
Another example is the volume of Chinese demand, which is one of the biggest things that control the price of oil as China is the world's largest oil importer and the price of oil is affected by the size of Chinese demand.
