Keeps testing the 88.12 - 88.15 level, but comes flying out of there. USD is strong today.

Actually this trade would have worked out perfectly. I had a stop at 89.60 which it didn't get to. Just learning these contracts. Let's see what the inventories report brings.

A heads up on DX http://www.barchart.com/chart.php?sym=DXH11&t=CANDLE&size=L&v=2&g=1&p=I:5&qb=1&style=technical

Good Morning :) ISM Services report at 10 AM (expecting 56 up for 55) and Crude Inventories at 10:30 AM as most of you know. Just did a sim trade last night short at 89.30 with a target of 88.50. Coulda, shoulda, woulda. :) I'll watch the open here and take it from there.

Glad I caught the whole move today from 92 down to 88.38. And that was for 10 contracts too. I've been waiting for another day like Friday and that day was today. Oh, wait! Shoot! That was just a dream I had during my afternoon nap? Damn! :) Disappointed I didn't actually catch more of the...

Great chart. Thanks for sharing that.

Glad you got your money back and learned a few things.

DXH11 Up a bit. http://www.barchart.com/chart.php?sym=DXH11&t=CANDLE&size=L&v=2&g=1&p=I:5&qb=1&style=technical

Trumpet flare! Drum roll!

The contract looks scared too. :)

There's also the Auto and Truck sales report at 3 PM. We'll see what effect that will have if any.

Not sure about the FOMC. But that was a great play on those puts. WTG. :)

That's what I was thinking too. Around that level. Seems like it's trying to base here. But they keep selling into any rally attempts so far. At some point obviously the selling slows and we have a rebound.

They're just selling into any rebound attempts all the way around.

Tried long a little too early and just fought my way out of a mini mess and lost 5 ticks on QM as I wasn't sure where this is headed. Onto the next trade. Not familiar enough with these 2 contracts yet. :) Interesting day.

Quite a pullback. Quite a reversal. Thinking long anyone? :)

Nice trade none the less. WTG.
