Is Crude Oil trading Swing Trading or Long Term Investment – Crude oil futures investment

July 4, 2014 by Igor

Investing in companies that mine crude oil is one way to profit in the stock market. These companies find investors in the stock market who are willing to lend them assets in exchange for profit. They do so because of the increasing demand for oil and therefore, and forced to find new ways to increase their production and improve their operations.


The stock market isn’t the only place to trade in oil. The commodities market is another place where traders can take advantage of changing prices of crude oil. Futures and ETFs are currently the two ways to trade oil.
Crude oil futures trading contracts tend to expire on a monthly basis, but otherwise, the process works the same as trading stocks.

In this type of investment, traders buy and sell barrels of crude oil instead of investing in the mining company. Crude oil ETFs, however, work with the general objective of tracking and monitoring the price of oil. Crude oil ETFs can monitor the price of crude oil or crude oil stocks. Traders attempt to implement a single equity while using ETFs, as well as taking advantage of high leverage.
Trading oil is very risky because the market is highly unstable. Prices can change daily and it is a disadvantage to hold onto stocks for a long period of time since traders cannot take advantage of the drastically changing prices. On the other hand, you cannot trade oil in the spot market because, unlike the stock market, there is no tool available to track spot oil.
Futures, using swing trading strategies, are the best way to trade crude oil. Look for futures contracts that expire on a monthly basis since the oil market is constantly changing.
There are a variety of tools available to traders to take advantage of. Some of these tools can project price movements. This can help traders develop the knowledge necessary to monitor the daily shifts in the supply and demand of oil. This supply and demand can strongly impact the price of oil futures.
