    CL Redux

    Phak!!! :D OK, my bad - never mind, this is old news, indeed (moved from one version of NinjaTrader to another and forgot to update comms) :confused: I shouldn't have had that sangria with my lunch :eek: But don't worry, Nod, I'll put in a word for you next time I talk to Tom

    CL Redux

    I guess most of you who trade with IB have already noticed, but they've lowered their commissions (by 20 cents per side for low-volume traders). So CL is nos 4.62 per RT instead of 5.02 Wooohooo!!! :D

    1115.50 to 1122.50 or 7 points isn't that bad (over 50% of daily range so far)

    Instruments (Futures) for SHORT TERM trading (lower 5m)? (Suggestions)

    QM or mini-oil is basically the same as CL but half the size. HO (heating oil) and RB (gasoline) have much lower liquidity and higher slippage, but tend to trade in tandem (except after inventories). You can also trade Brent (North Sea oil) and WTI (a proxy for CL) in the ICE. There are...

    Instruments (Futures) for SHORT TERM trading (lower 5m)? (Suggestions)

    You can trade all the contracts other traders mentioned. Bonds and notes are fine and have lots of liquidity - they may be stuck in a range until the macroeconomic picture clears, though. Metals are tricky to trade. Gold is in its own world. Copper trades similar to oil, only more...

    Maybe - but Congress just appropriated 26 billion for states that were facing cuts. And as elections approach in the US and elsewhere, it will be difficult to <i>actually</i> cut any spending (as opposed to being in the opposition talking about balancing the budget without specifying what...

    Sorry, I should have clarified: Private Payrolls - M/M change 83,000 (prior), 100,000 (consensus) Whisper 150,000

    Whisper number is more than 50% higher than official consensus... but I see your point

    A trader talking his book on ET? Nah... impossible :D (Plus, CME raised margins yesterday like 40%, so imagine the damage)

    Better yet... (Sorry for posting off-topic, but you don't see Russia closing exports everyday) Edit: > <del>10,000</del> 22,000 cars at the bid now!!! Insane.

    CL Redux

    It's trying to build a new value zone, but if it breaks it should go down to 78-ish

    24-hour? No. RTH: don't know. [Edit: IF] One more failed push to the downside and... short squeeze anyone?

    Maybe we collapse or maybe MMs try to fill the gap in the equities

    CL Redux

    This (81.80) is proving a hard bottom to break. Edit: I mean a hard to break bottom. :D 81.60 is yesterday's low and I see further support at about 81.20. I don't have a clue as resistance to the upside (other than the obvious round numbers)
