There are no oil companies. It's Saudi Arabia and Russia, and they are not scared of Biden. If he wanted to bring prices down all he has to do is open the pipeline from Canada and stop ass kissing the Arabs. They respect strength not ass kissing.

I appreciate everyone's opinions. With exception of hedging open profits and getting better structuring hedging overall, my Long Term Commodities automation does not take into account documents, and entries have changed once since 1991 by taking on added contracts as market stairsteps into trend and entries based on intraday relationship. Since system gotten long Energies April 2020, have added 6 times that didn't get stopped out, rollover each month entire position. I only have one target of 10k on 10% of contracts, remainder have a breakeven stop. It can be a very ugly system of giving back huge chunks of open profits in futures, but using hedges actually not losing and often making more than losses in the futures, yes I know each month profits/loses are closed out, but until a reverse happens, I consider position still entirely open. I have ran hundreds of trailing stops, but in the end this works best for me.
Am Long Crude, Gasoline and Heating Oil/hedged(open profits), short Nat Gas- Nat Gas might be forming bullish H&S, be looking forward to pullback to short more. Am also long USO along with several friends who always have said "if a sure thing comes around", be the last time I do this. After 200% return, they more afraid of the market than in beginning.
Time for a nap.

Well, automation had added to longs/hedged beyond, had hedged days earlier same way from positions in past. Friday's stop loss on added Long Crude Oil enacted, hedges were kept and exited at crude oil price approx. 75.31, so on losing futures trade lost and made profits beyond the loss using the hedge. Am still long term long and those are hedged with mixture of shorting deferred contracts and long puts. Automation will seek another area to add to long term position.
Took me years to back test hedging having dozen different methods programmed depending whether it is opening position of finding percentage of 9 year extremes as on futures side it loses 85-99.5% on futures side, so over 95% of trades of those trades system generates more profits on hedge than losses on futures side, so overall am profitable on a losing trade. "Add-ons" lose approx 60% and use different types of hedges technique's so can exit hedge quicker if futures go intended direction. It been fun to overcome the challenges, but I could never done it manually.
Every month am liquidating 10% of stock holdings to add to Futures side, little over 60% over the years had been generated by long term commodity trading. That leaves 35-39% with stocks/dividends/covered calls, option spreads and scalping. As I am getting older, want more diversification since stocks requires much more funds generating less percentages, commodities on the other hand gives more diversification on less funds. I retain more than minimum's the exchanges require for overnight margins of approx 40%, but using some of those funds for scalping. Trading has become more enjoyable, and only manually trade new stuff when I need.
I look back in time, at the kid who didn't know much on how to be consistent and not be enticed with thinking "can learn this over the weekend", but am glad so many come to trading with idea how hard can this be when old fart next door is doing this...grins.
I can't believe I just saw this, so I took a screenshot:
