Will quit bottom fishing for now.

The Dow has broken the 8140 level today, and in the process, it has broken the 61.8% retracement (8076) between Nov's low and Jan's high. The S&P has bounced off the exact 61.8% retracement (820) twice today already...
 
Yeah the trend is down and buying now is like catching a falling knife.

I am starting to think that OIL trading should be done during London session not NY. Had the market not been down -$3 before the open this morning, I would have never gone long.

Usually, by the time we get started here in the US, oil is already over-extended and we are provided two bad choices: 1) to trade with the trend but it’s over extended or 2) take a riskier position and go counter trend. Both cases are bad for trading.

Wow it overshot my stop by .10 and I ended up losing -$610 on this trade.

It was an incredible fall, it looked to be basing-I got a decent entry but it just fell out of bed.

2 losers this week and the winners have not been too hot either- I'm sticking with it though.

How much are we down this week? must be about 30%!
 
Yeah, mar contract is down -25% from peak and feb contract -30% from peak.

I am not going long on oil until the trend reverses though. For now, I'll just wait for spikes so I can short into it. But since there is only couple of hours remaining and everything is so over-extended, I doubt i'll get a shorting opportunity today.
