Premium · Trader Toolkit
Tools, matched to your trading approach
An oil market intelligence toolkit that converts physical flows, inventories, positioning and news into explainable market scenarios — decision intelligence, not another wall of dashboards. Pick the module that matches how you take risk.
Global Balance Engine
Fundamental / balance traders
The entire oil balance on one screen: OPEC and non-OPEC supply, sanctioned barrels, outages and SPR flows against refinery runs, China/India imports and OECD demand — reconciled through US, OECD and floating stocks, with an implied surplus/deficit read.
Open Global Balance Engine →Physical Flow Map
Physical / flow traders
Tankers loaded and discharged, destination changes, dark AIS gaps, floating storage, port congestion and freight — with explainable anomaly detection: why a flow is unusual (in σ vs its 30-day norm), which factors moved with it, and what it means.
Open Physical Flow Map →Futures Curve & Spread Dashboard
Curve / relative-value traders
Brent and WTI forward curves, M1/M2 through 6-month timespreads, Brent–WTI, Brent–Dubai and Midland–Cushing differentials, gasoline/diesel/jet cracks and freight-adjusted arbs — each marked cheap/fair/expensive, tightening/loosening, and supported or contradicted by the physical data.
Open Futures Curve & Spread Dashboard →News-to-Barrels AI
News / event-driven traders
AI-assisted analysis that converts headlines into estimated barrel impact: affected capacity in kb/d, the impact chain across crude demand, product flows, cracks and differentials, and an honest confidence grade with watchpoints.
Open News-to-Barrels AI →Positioning & Crowd-Risk Engine
Flow / momentum traders
Managed-money positioning from public CFTC and ICE COT reports, graded through a three-part crowding checklist — stretched positioning, structure confirmation, physical support — into an explicit liquidation-risk call.
Open Positioning & Crowd-Risk Engine →Trade Hypothesis Builder
Systematic / discretionary researchers
Structured, falsifiable research hypotheses built from dislocations between the modules: evidence with strength grades, explicit invalidation conditions, an evidence-weight confidence score and instruments to research. Never buy/sell signals.
Open Trade Hypothesis Builder →Geopolitical Risk Matrix
Event / macro traders
Chokepoints, sanction regimes, election and OPEC+ event calendar with scenario impact ranges — the risk premium, mapped and monitored.
What Changed Today?
Everyone — the decision screen
One screen that answers the only question that matters each morning: what changed, why, and which module saw it first. Dashboards report; this decides what deserves your attention.
Nowcast Engine
Fundamental traders who can't wait for the EIA
Inventory and demand nowcasts ahead of official EIA/IEA/OPEC releases, plus an IEA-vs-OPEC disagreement tracker — with the nowcast error history published honestly.
Scenario & Backtest Lab
Risk managers / systematic researchers
Monte Carlo scenarios for supply disruption, demand shocks and OPEC decisions, plus event studies: how did spreads, cracks and positioning actually behave around past inventory surprises, meetings and hurricanes?
