    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    yrutman, that's the exact thing i thought up a few days ago as my account was approaching profitability again. i know if i leave money in the account, all of it is at risk at any one time from stupidity. so i decided i'd keep atleast half in my checking account, where it's safe from my...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    Oil's peaking through 53.00 right now, so I'm thinking it's getting bullish again. I noticed it's the third day we've failed to break through 54.00 (I made a chart!). Now, even though demand is still very low, I think oil traders are looking way ahead into the future, believing the worst of...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    made 1700 today doing alot of scalping. not bad, but way more work than it should be. i wish i had more patience for real trade setups. oil is way over-bought here it seems, investors are pricing it way ahead into the future, when our current demand is still very weak. i won't tempt myself...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    this is a great time to get in a short or two. i pulled the trigger earlier, holding from 52.92 right now. i'm going to call oil's bluff on this one, there's no reason for it to go through yesterday's levels.

    how are you trading £ / tick on the nymex? sorry if this question is dumb, but shouldn't it be in USD? >i'm holding onto a short from 53.81 overnight, i don't think this price will hold going into the status report tmr.

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    you trade crude on a local exchange or the nymex? just wondering. i'm out of all contracts now, was able to avoid holding a short on the way up because of my jittery scalping. +995 for the day, very tough trading today.
