Building long position as long as 7365 doesnt get broken today

Long 7765. sl 7755

Going long here for overnight, 7893 just one contract.

I was buying cause there appeared to be no selling pressure in the stock futures plus the s&p support held overnight. Also the support range in cl today was 7700-7740. Looked to be one of those days they run stops at the open then reverse position since there was no followthru selling. I did...

Im posting todays numbers as a jpg. Less time consuming for me. As of right now im -4 CL Closed the day ES +1100 CL +3900 right now I know I made a couple of mistakes today in the CL. Best example is trying to pick a top and short it. Because of that im still short.

Good thing I got out of my long since my 7900 target was reached. :mad:

Closed my long. Going flat a few hours

Seems to be a mixed opinion today. Could make for a big move.

Lower highs and higher lows. See which way it breaks in the next 30minutes.

Long, target 7900

I cannot say that no retracement is always the case. The times I look for retracement is when a trend starts to breaks down. (Look at 1/8 & 1/11) I guess what im trying to get across is that crude will trade a direction for several days or weeks. Typically a 5-10$ move. I agree with you that...

This sounds like ealier this week when it broke 8150 and everyone wanted to wait till it came back up to 8150 before they got short. Same as when it was sitting at 8000, seemed no one wanted to short it there. The thing with trading crude is you have to anticipate the move insteading of seeing...

Dont let your emotions get in the way. Always know where you are going to put a stoploss to get out if your wrong. If not your emotions or refusal of being wrong will get in the way.

Thanks, wish I would have just slept in with the TF trade. I have been bearish crude all week but was jumpy since it was Friday and contract expires in 6days. Im using a 5 and 30min chart. I use bollinger bands on a 5min to gauge when its overextended. Or close out when it takes out the last...

You can always piece out your stops. The way the markets been trading it looks like alot of people went short into the weekend in CL and ES. This week looks bearish if you use a candlestick method.

First im not trying to sell anything. Im hoping to use this thread to post trades and get critiqued on bad trades. Feel free to call me out and say WTF were you thinking. In the end I hoping constuctive critisim makes me a better trader. So here are todays trades: TF Short 7@ 645.80...

It looks to me that most of you guys run waay to tight of a stop loss and try to scalp in the midday noise. I used to do similar but now I try to put a trade on going with the general direction of the market that day. So if im short I look for a blowoff bottom in the intraday, long look for the...

The support is something different every day, could have been a combination of the 2. Im playing short for Fri and part of next week. Then looking to go long later next week. I try to keep it light on contract expiration week though. You have the better approach though. No bias.
