Let's not. :)

Was more in sync with the indices earlier but now it's on it's own. You know CL.

If you're on the wrong side of the trade, just wait a minute and you're good to go. Kidding, but also true :)

:)

Woooooooooooo! Volatile.

:D Is that it? That's all? :p

ISM 60.8 well above the prediction. Market seems to be digesting it. Just did a quick TF scalp long. Maybe this is priced in. It's been quite a rally the last few months. Feb. 1, 2011, 10:08 a.m. EST Jan. ISM factory index picks up to 60.8 WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Conditions for the...

Good morning. Was that long or short?

ISM numbers in 15 minutes at 10 AM EST. May be a mover one way or the other. You always have to be first don't you? :p Devious minds think alike. :)

Lost my internet connection again right before the open. Had to reboot. Sheesh! It was fine all morning. Got to be a conspiracy. :)

Thanks. :)

Well, we're obviously back above the 20 day EMA which we have been most all of the time since Friday. Interesting. Glad I didn't foolishly ignore my own advice and try to counter-trend short this, at least earlier.

I'll have to pay more attention to "the pit open" perhaps. :) That hammer down confused me. A lot of times when that happens it's the forerunner to a new low. But not this time. Still learning this contract.

:D My earlier scalp was short. Glad I took a small profit. Tempted to short it again right here. So much for the counter-trend discussion. :) Just looking at the price action. Gets a bit unclear. Just the way they hammered it down at .30 it looked really weak and they were selling it off. Was...

Looking weak. Just got up. Did a small scalp. They really hammered it down on that rally attempt just now.

Thanks.

I hear you. Those are really great points. I see now after watching it some that CL is different. Marches to it's own drum beat. :) And I think what you're saying about it "running too far" is the reason why we tend to think that these are good counter-trend trades. It just looks that way to...

Good one! :) I was just looking at my chart after being offline and it was registering in the low 91's. Now the data won't update. Ha. :) Can only laugh although it's been costly. Sometimes that's the way it goes. They're going to reconstruct my license key info so it works in the morning...
