Just so you know, the CL stochastic were below the 20 line, the GC stochastic were ripe, is why i held the gold short. Thank you BTW
A trade on CL and Scaling in at every 10% Increase ........
- Thread starter md2324
- Start date
Go Grizzybull!!!!!!!!
That may be math, but it is not average reality. It's gonna' destroy him/her/it, that mentality. No no no. Just make it go away! Lalalala!
Another Question is ....... Can you ( in Theory ) stay in THE SAME trade for Months and even years at a time , even through all of the Contract Expirations/Roll Overs ?
Meaning ,
would you NOT have to close out of the Position and then re-enter into the same trade, when it's Roll Over time, etc. ??
I understand that my initial question is far fetched , but I was just curious as to what it would look like in a sense, Scaling-In 1 contract per 10% increase in CL

You have to sell out of current contract and roll to the next.
The questions you are asking are easily answered by performing some due diligence. Suggest drilling down investopedia . Google is your friend...
rollover
contango
forwardation
backwardation
contract expiration
etc...
etc...
Once exhausting other research options, a well formulated question will receive more insightful responses, than those which exhibit a lack of effort or basic understanding.
Not a disparagement, just a tip...
Internet forums are not an appropriate source of reliable information. Especially those which consist mostly of multi-alias trolls, beginners, wanna-bee gurus, stealth vendors and narcissists. (ET)
The majority of experienced traders have given up interacting on the site, and visit it mainly for comic relief...
In regards to your last question, as algofly pointed out. At expiration you need to sell and enter into a new contract (rollover) it is now a new trade, albeit a continuation of your directional bias.
The fact is you would not be able to handle the huge draw downs that are inevitable with this concept which you completely ignored looking only at the gains. Even traders with multi million accounts would not have the stomach for the draw downs that are inherit with such an absurd concept of scaling in at 10% intervals.
