What is it with these capitalist pig animals? Why do we continue to be allowed to trade futures? Stop this ridiculous crap. Close the entire market for 6 months and see what a better world we’ll have, these aren’t free thinkers but normal thinkers normal capitalist pigs that must be punished.

Recently I accepted a job at a major oil company in the Supply Trading division. I have a decent understanding of trading futures overall, but lack a lot of knowledge of just trading energy futures.

If there are any energy futures traders out there can you suggest a book or piece of literature for me to read to understand the fundamentals of the subject?

Brian H asked:


Actually im looking to trade futures on options, but i dont really understand some things. I have traded options on equities for years, but I have never done futures. Im really looking at trading oil. I have been trading oil ETFs, and I have stellar performances for the past 3 years, so I feel im ready to graduate to the real thing. I have 5k im willing to invest 10k if I have to, but any advice on which brokers to use, or how to go about it since im only 18 would be helpful. Thanks
also what kinds of returns are made in futures?

How much do you make if oil goes up 10$ a barrel? How many barrels do you buy at once?
