Yes, I'm pretty certain you could take a long or short position right here and place a 50-tick target and get a fill at some point today after FOMC.

tzachi, please tell me you're not long 85.90 and holding through the FOMC :eek:

I've been scratching my head a bit here. What, specifically, would be continuing? :p

I'm scared of triangles :eek: :D :eek: The ATS is up 138 ticks :cool: ADD: If I had to pick a direction here in this directionlessness, I have to go with what my mentor always says: "Think continuation!"

I can't believe I missed those moves. I am sad :(

I'm leaving my desk for at least 2 hours. Since I have a long bias, I can't recommend my absence as a valid short signal :p

Go, tzachi, go!!!

Was there some technical significance to support @ 84.40?

I'll confess, I'm trading with a bias today, going long and sitting on my hands during that entire drop off the highs, waiting for another long setup. There was a good long setup on the breakout that retraced the entire bar.

You crazy! I was long 85.03 way back when you were and I got out of that trade at...85.03 :D EDIT: Seriously, if you're still holding place a profit target 30 ticks from there and it will fill at some point today!

Just buy S and sell R in this range. tlow must be killing it :D

Because the large green bar failed to break out with any follow through, and because that bar's low dipped just below the MA, I'd place my sell stop 1 tick or two below the low of that bar as soon as it closed. (You could also have a buy stop above previous R in case it continues back up and...

Missing fills is easy to correct, place your orders a few ticks inside. Sometimes you're right on the money and just don't get filled. In that case you have to decide if it's worth giving up a few ticks to get in right away (with-trend usually is; counter-trend I won't chase). The easiest way...

I like your long setup a lot. Once it failed, but pivoted off another HL, a symmetrical triangle formed. Symmetrical triangles make me nervous (I'm never exactly sure where to play the breakout), but this one was nice. It never triggered an upside break (the upper TL break failed quickly...

Frank, I highly recommend you follow the CL Redux thread closely each day. I provided, at no charge, the ultimate short signal today when at 10:02am ET I announced that I was leaving my my desk. :D

Hi DC, If you post your trades, I promise not to make scary comments such as "Hmmmmm..." until you've been trading CL at least three full months. Also, can we form a committee get CL to rollover quarterly, because I hate having to use the flashy-thingy to erase all those S/R levels from my...

There are times when I'm willing to trail stops and hold out for more, but that failure to even try and touch .58 said take the money and run :cool: The action wasn't too bad earlier today. I wish I'd caught that big breakdown.

I was hoping for the same thing but couldn't bear the thought of another b/e so locked in the 20 ticks on the second touch of .50.

Out @ .47

Long .27 for the break, stp .16, not moving it EDIT: OK, moved it to b/e :eek:
