Of course, an important consideration when choosing a crude oil trading platform is the trading tools, namely charts and indicators. The development of computer technologies allowed using automatic trading elements in trading. Thus, various auxiliary advisors, scripts and technical indicators started to appear. There is a large abundance of various technical elements in the trader's trading terminal, which facilitate the trading process.

The purpose of the trading indicators is to summarize the historical price data on the chart, in order to make it easier for a trader to interpret the behaviour of the markets.

As you know, there are several types of technical indicators, the main ones are:

• Trend indicators: display the presence of a trend movement, its strength and the current state of quotations;
• Oscillators: They are a leading group of indicators which indicate whether a financial asset is overbought or oversold.
  

Here are examples of common indicators, which are also available on our platform. The most common indicator is the moving average (Moving Average), which converts the fluctuations of quotes into the average value of candlestick closing prices at a given time interval. The indicator shows what happens to the price, on average, during a certain time interval.

On Balance Volume (OBV) is a simple classical oscillator, which displays price fluctuations on the basis of changes in market volume during a certain period of time.

A popular indicator,MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence). A trader looks below or above zero on the bar chart under the symbol price chart. If for a considerable period of time the lines are above zero, this signals an upward trend, and vice versa.

Stochastic indicator. The indicator is based on a simple pattern, according to which in case of an ascending trend the closing price is usually fixed at the maximum of the period, and in case of a descending trend - near its minimum. If the market closes some distance from the extremums (below the maximum or above the minimum), it means that the trends are weaker than they seem.

All technical indicators should complement each other and overlap the weaknesses. Also, indicators should act as a filter for choosing the most profitable points to enter the market. Indicators are worth using nowadays, but it is necessary to understand their action and combine their readings with other market factors.

Charts are the basis for technical analysis when trading on the exchange. They serve for visual estimation of trends of quotations of the concrete instrument, forecasting of price movement and analysis whose position is stronger - supply or demand.

Line charts. The simplest depiction of price movement, but reflecting only one component, which is not enough for decision-making. The bar chart is an informative option, which shows the main indicators of interest - the minimum and maximum price level for the selected time period, the closing and opening prices. Japanese candlesticks. An in-demand tool that reflects the same parameters as the bars, but the visualization of them is more convenient, etc.

You will need software that allows you to customize the platform to make it useful for you personally. With us, you will be able to adjust the charts and indicators to your needs and work with pleasure! Brokerage companies which can offer more flexible trading platforms are usually the brokers who will be able to earn more profits for their clients.

How to make money trading crude oil in the Philippines? 

How do I make money trading crude oil in the Philippines? To begin with, you need to have a good understanding of how the international oil market works and the various elements that affect this market. It is very important that you understand the many peculiarities of oil trading before you decide to spend your money.

You need to get a basic understanding of investing in crude oil before you move forward. Crude oil is one of the most traded commodities in the world, and demand for oil is expected to continue growing in the coming years. Oil is produced in different parts of the world, from the Arctic shelves to the African deserts. Not surprisingly, the composition and characteristics of the oil produced vary considerably. In all, there are more than 200 varieties of it in the world.

Among the most popular are:

• Brent, a blend of grades produced from North Sea offshore fields.
• WTI (West Texas Intermediate) - a grade produced in the state of Texas (US). These grades are available for purchase on our brokerage website.
  

Stock market participants can be divided into 2 large groups. Traders - bidders who buy an asset in order to sell it later on. In other words, speculators who try to profit from price differences. Their main forecasting tool is technical analysis.

Investors - are buyers, who purchase assets for a long term with the purpose of keeping or increasing their capital. Unlike traders, investors aim for long-term profit and give priority to fundamental analysis, disregarding short-term fluctuations of market prices.

Although oil is called "black gold" by many, no one uses it as a means of saving. It is therefore often not an asset of interest to investors. Its price is too dependent on market conditions and does not have a sustainable upward trend in the long term.

As a beginner in this business, you should focus on learning how to make money trading crude oil in the Philippines. There are many approaches to learning how to trade.

Contracts for Difference (or CFDs) are a popular trading method. They do not involve the physical delivery of the commodity. At the time of expiration (expiry of the contract) there is a settlement between the parties to the transaction. In this case, three options are possible:

• The price of the underlying is higher than the futures price. In this case, the seller pays the contract holder the price difference.
• The price remains at the same level. Both the seller and the buyer stand on their own.
  
• The price of the underlying asset is lower than the futures price. It receives the difference from the buyer.
  

Oil trading has its own peculiarities:

• High volatility. The price of oil is constantly changing, which allows you to make high profits;
• Liquidity of the instrument. There are millions of transactions a day on the big exchanges. Therefore, it should not be a problem to sell futures;
