I only trade chart/price/indicator combo. I do not want to know news. It's too much information.

Well you're bad at it. The bulls got pretty much everything they could have hoped for out of this report including big inventory draws in all products and record high product demand - however, it appears it took the machines a little longer to read down the report and spot the fact that production soared to new cycle highs... and WTI/RBOB prices are tumbling.

Weekly Oil Report came out today instead of yesterday...

Yeah, sure you trade off of price, but the reports are usually areas of volatility.

That's the information that anyone should derive from this.

Some trade the reports, some avoid them; that's discretionary.

It may not matter as much for a long term trade, but the timing is something to be aware of.

Timing is everything, right derivativesguy?:D

News is too much information since it's too difficult for the retail trader to determine direction from news. I disregard news entirely an only use chart/price/indicator combo.
 
4650s: Target Acquired - onto the next trade...

The only caption that comes to mind for the chart below is "The Importance of Taking Profits"

--there is no such thing as a swing trade with light, sometimes sweet, yet always crude oil...
