S spd Feb 25, 2010 #2,452 Quote from BPtrader: I did two refills recently, so my trading capital is sufficient to trade four contracts. With today's loss, maybe three contracts. But I can't hold overnight at three contracts, overnight margin is too high for me. More... just stop.

H HuggieBear Feb 25, 2010 #2,455 I wouldn't be short going into a weekend. Lot of folks buying oil contracts like lottery tickets hoping for a weekend disruptive event. Not to mention Monday's have been bullish for the last few months, further reducing the risk.

H HuggieBear Feb 26, 2010 #2,457 nice i put on a short before bed also after i saw it shoot up on no volume.... got out around 78. kinda feel like shorting again, but might look for a price above 78.50

I would be careful about shorting here, I see the bulls pushing it up to 79 today.

H HuggieBear Feb 26, 2010 #2,460 hope you are right. i bought some USO calls in a side account yesterday when oil was at 77....they are making me feel kinda dirty, would love to dump out of them at 79. If i short today i probably will only try to scalp a few pennies...i dont like being short oil over the weekend really.
