LOL,

I just became aware of this book yesterday and I am looking for it too. If anyone has a PDF version that they're willing to share I'd really appreciate it (and I'd throw some SBs your way). Otherwise, I'll probably bite the bullet and buy it on Amazon.

I tried to find the PDF for a while but never could so I ended up just ordering the book. Definitely worth it if you are on the fence about it, excellent book that taught me a ton about oil markets and oil in general.

 

Haha. Yeah, I know man. And it's just my luck that I ended up deleting it lol.

okay, so I just got the book...

although I haven't gotten to the markets part (just finished the chem chapter)

It seems like way to much information for trading oil...

He mentions that some traders call certain byproducts by names according to their carbon count (propane is c3, etc.) does anyone have any experience trading oil - do you guys really mention propane and other products like butene so much so that you use the nicknames.

I wasn't aware that these products even traded. Care to enlighten a total beginner...

 

Currently trading at a major oil house. You should read/understand all of that book. Pretty much all of it is essential to trading. And yes we use more technical names (carbon counts for light end products) especially when talking to refineries.

No one really use the exact chemical names but those products definitely trade, depending on what part of the desk you are on. Oil 101 is a pretty good book and all of it's relevant in one way or another to oil phys trading.

Knowing all that info is just the tip of the iceberg. The more you know the more profitable you can be.

 

if anyone could send the book in pdf to me i would be really grateful as where i live i can't get english books readily and ordering is taking a week :( need the book urgently

 

You accidentally perm deleted a valuable pdf?

I would advise you to stay AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE from the trading floor. "Umm, sorry, no I just sold 1 million barrels maybe. like probably brent. hmmm, actually not sure of what and I don't remember the guy's phone number. Or I bought. I wanna say I BOUGHT."

 

Hi, I bought one is a well, of course, each trader should have Oil101. By the way...... .........It is a good fit with my book as well :). You will understand a lot of the term used in Oil101 Best regards The author of "The oil traders words" www.woenzel.com

Your book seems potentially interesting. Can you upload a few sample pages?

Out of curiosity, what the difference between your book and a dictionary?
