Anthony Speciale Jr. Born and raised into a blue collar family in the suburbs of Northern New Jersey, I have in recent years put down the wrenches I’ve been turning for the better part of my entire life and have become a professional energy trader. My mother was a nurse practitioner and my father was an auto mechanic. I had literally watched both of my parents work endless hours with their hands throughout their entire lives and after loosing my mother at a young age to cancer, I had decided I wanted a different future than the path I was currently on. At a young age I was a struggling student who didn’t excel very well academically and college wasn’t really in the cards for me, but I was always a disciplined worker. When I had put my mind to something, there was nothing that was going to stop me from reaching and exceeding my goals I had set for myself. So, as life had evolved, so did my desire for freedom. It was never much about the money for me, but it was about the success and the freedom that accompanied that success. Over a decade ago, I decided to specialize in just one sector of the market. I knew that I only needed to be proficient at just one area of the market to achieve the goal I had set forth. Trade passively while producing massively. Well, that’s exactly what I did. After several years of failed attempts, endless education, trial and error - I had finally yielded myself the success and freedom I was desiring. After making myself over $1,000,000.00 trading this very method, it was time to share my success with those who also desire the freedom I did. After a lot of work, time, effort and sacrifice - Big Energy Profits went from merely a concept into a very real reality.

The global energy market has always been a dynamic chess game. And it can be tricky keeping your fingers on the pulse of the industry.

The crude oil market has always been my favorite asset class. It helped me make my first million as a full-time trader. And over a decade later, it’s still the #1 instrument I rely on for six-figure victories. For some reason, I haven’t been writing as much about oil as I’d love to. But as…
