How to make a profit in trading the oil market?

They are in control of price. Like OPEC , they have been in control of the market for years. But at the moment they are slowly losing control.
The price of oil is always determined by supply and demand. And the general thumb rules for supply and demand is as follow:

Then you know that the price of oil will increase soon or later on the oil market.
Sometimes you see that oil price is increasing or decreasing without any real confirmed reasons.

That OPEC will soon announce that they will take action to react to the current market condition.
