Licker all due respect the banks are protected from the fall out there have been many cases and fines against them for commodity manipulation from the doj to the fca however, these bodies are pretty feeble in the face of these big entities. Sure they will throw a fine here and there but it’s pittance to these banks. These major banks are too ingrained into the economy to actually be allowed to go under but, sometimes you’ve got to throw a few traders under the bus to appease the masses aka average joe me and you and make it seem like you’re getting justice.
I urge you to look back at 2007 and see who was tooting $200 a barrel then Morgan Stanley and Goldman yet they were on the other side of the trade go figure.
Ever wondered by oil went minus in 2020 Goldman again and some cohorts.

Now I don’t have time to post every link of every case brought against the big banks for commodity manipulation but I urge you to see the history between the financial crisis and now.
Also not to sound condescending to you big banks are not your friend they are part of the market which is geared against you.
The market is simple it needs average joe you and me to pump our money in to keep the wheels spinning. The job of all major institutions and hedge funds is how do you separate joe public from their money. Remember in the market there is always someone on the other end of your trade when you make money someone is losing money.
In any case I do wish you luck and you make loads of profits this is just my two cents not saying to believe me or even take my advice on board as I’m a nobody I just thought I’d offer my own view based on experience.
