Trading Use Cases

Algorithmic Trading

// Real-time price feed
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/stream');

ws.on('message', (data) => {
  const { symbol, price, timestamp } = JSON.parse(data);
  
  if (symbol === 'CL' && price < 75.50) {
    executeTrade('BUY', 'CL', 100);
  }
});

Spread Trading

// Monitor Brent-WTI spread
const spread = await api.getSpread('BRENT', 'WTI');

if (spread.value > 5.0) {
  // Spread too wide, execute arbitrage
  executeTrade('SELL', 'BRENT', 1000);
  executeTrade('BUY', 'WTI', 1000);
}

Options & Futures

// Get futures curve
const curve = await api.getFuturesCurve('CL');

// Identify contango/backwardation
if (curve[1].price > curve[0].price * 1.02) {
  // Strong contango - storage play
  executeStorageTrade(curve);
}

Risk Management

// Set price alerts
api.setAlert({
  commodity: 'NATURAL_GAS',
  condition: 'ABOVE',
  threshold: 4.50,
  webhook: 'https://your-app.com/alerts'
});
