About us
Our Journey
Three years ago, we started out as individuals navigating the oil and gas market, learning the game, closing deals, and seeing firsthand what was really going on. The industry is massive, full of opportunity—but also full of noise. Too many middlemen who add no value, too many fake deals, and too many people wasting time.
We saw the problems, and instead of just working around them, we decided to fix them. That’s why we built Stratos Trading. This company isn’t just about moving oil—it’s about doing business the right way. We vet every deal, cut through the nonsense, and make sure only real buyers and real sellers connect. No shortcuts, no games, just high-level, legitimate transactions.
Now, we’re scaling. We’re doubling down on what works, building something bigger, and setting a new standard in the market. The industry needs real players who actually deliver, and that’s exactly what we do. Stratos Trading isn’t just another oil trading firm—it’s a force. And we’re just getting started.
