Introduction

This intensive five-day programme builds on the Oil Trader Academy foundation, taking participants deep into advanced trading concepts and real-world applications. The first two days focus on analytical and practical foundations—covering market structure, time spreads, arbitrage mechanics, blending, market making, hedging strategies, crude and product correlations, and the Brent complex—through structured case studies and decision-based exercises drawn from expert trading experience.

The following three days immerse participants in highly interactive, computer-based trading simulations that replicate complex market scenarios. These simulations reinforce theory through hands-on practice, enabling participants to apply advanced strategies in storage optimisation, time spreads, customer flow, chartering, freight trading, and options. Led by seasoned former traders, this academy offers a unique opportunity to master oil trading in a dynamic, experiential format.
