CL Redux

Quote from tomahawk:

Quite possible, but hourly TL below @ 105.15 might need testing.

Do you day trade CL, tomahawk?

Do you find that higher time frames are important for your analysis?

Thanks.

Yes and yes. I find that TL's and levels on the hourly provide stronger S/R and sometimes act as magnets. If a level fails, I like to look for the next one on the higher TF. :)

Nice call.

If we bottom out here, you`re my new CL hero! :)

Do you chart 24/7 for higher time frames or just NYMEX RTH?

I tried drawing a similar trend line on my 24 hour chart, but did not get 105,15.

Thanks, but I'm by no means a hero on CL, just get lucky once in awhile. :)

I chart 24/7. The TL is only across the past 3 days' lows. But it blew through to the next S anyway .. lol.

Once in a while can go a long way. ;)

Thanks for the input.

LF what's your style mainly? Trend, fade S/R? (haven't analyzed your trades from the other journal, apologies).

Tough question to answer quickly, but I trade both trends and fade whenever appropriate. Basically trying to capture the swings as they unfold throughout the day, using some basic statistics to help me with targets, direction, etc.

My experience really is with ES and in that market it`s all about levels. CL is probably also a lot about levels, but it does act differently. Unfortunately, volatility tends to contract too much for a day trader in ES, so that`s why I try to see if I can learn how this beast moves being a completely newbie in this market. :)

Nice. Yeah the recent contraction in ES has definitely led me (and I think alot of people) to focus more on CL and other markets lately. It's an entirely different beast though.

No doubt.

I find myself re-learning a lot of things, especially with regards to timing the turns which can be brutally fast compared to ES that typically moves like a turtle.

I still love the ES though. :)
