And it's your opinion that this is large enough to overcome the massive information and speed disadvantage you have?
Oil transport ships are tracked and analyzed, including predictions for weather. Well output data is obtained. Longer term, infrastructure spending is known. Demand is tracked and forecast. Most of the time you're paying fees AND you're trading against faster, more knowledgable counterparties than yourself. That's a big hurdle to start behind on. The only area I could image you have an edge is on surprise news where the market takes time to rebalance to where it wants to be (the front running argument).

My trades have an edge every time.
The question was, how often do these opportunities for trades with an edge come up?
