Traditionally, commodity trading in petroleum products was a place where only the elite, super traders dared to venture. With barrels holding 42 gallons each and a minimum of 1,000 barrels a contract, the delivery of oil was a task best left to professionals.

For decades, oil prices were stable, then in the mid-1970s the industry exploded. Technological advances and the political landscape has contributed to the uncertainty, lack of stability, shortages and rising prices. Nearly 30 years later, prices soar above 70 dollars per barrel and forecasters predict that the mid to late 2007, when he should see a slight decrease for the next two years.

However, there are no certainties when it comes to oil prices, but there are some factors to scale that can reduce risk by providing a fairly accurate projection.
