tremendous post...yes, amazing profits available trading the CL...its brother of 'potential' is the DAXQuote from Cheese:
What a gigantic shitload of points were made available by the CL market today.
The range (Tuesday June 10 2008) was 650; as already commented here by me before, from time to time in the last 18 months there are big ranges out at 4 to 6 bucks for the day. Those that had turned around from the 'bear' tack on to the 'bull' tack or said that CL was going next to $150, would have been instead, over the past 2 days, getting their peckers chewed up in the mincer - this time the 'bear' mincer.
As always, the best play is intraday, open to close. Just play those gyrations. So looking at the pattern for today (June 10), the session's gyrations (up/down repeating) produced 20 macro 'legs' of minimum 45 points (ie cents). The mean average of those 20 'legs' was 129 points per 'leg'. Therefore between 10am and 2.30pm, thats more than 2500 points which were on offer.
