Hi all,

I just wanted to ask a few questions about the futures market and the role execution traders play...

What would an execution trader at a bank on a crude oil futures desk do when they receive a customer order? It also confuses me as to how the traders make any money if they purely execute trades.

Secondly, when monitoring p&l as a trading assistant for a bank on crude futures contracts, would that simply be the entry price vs the exit price..


Any help would be really appreciated as I'm very confused about this

Thanks all
