CL Redux

Quote from cstfx:

yes

Then maybe you placed that stop while you were in a trade and it became part of your ATM, so when you closed the position, it got canceled and you didn't notice because it was outside your DOM's visible range (it's happened to me, but then again, I'm sure you're smarter :) , so maybe it's something else).

Needless to say (then why say? - I contradict myself), check your log.

So I should just get out of these and try again at 76.00.

Hmmm exit 1 @ 77.30 now just long 1 qm at 77.85 feels better already!

I panicked and should be flogged. I'm an embaresment to my family and this thread. I should know if it feels good it is probably wrong.

Oh come now, anyone trades crude oil surely cannot be embarrassed easily. If it makes you feel any better, I made $10.76 trading CL today, two early pre-market trades targeting breakouts, both back to b/e on failures, then I didn't trade it the rest of this beautiful short-at-any-point-and-watch-money-fall-from-the-sky day; yes I was actually short @ 79.33 at 8:11 am ET. Looking back at the chart now and thinking of that big scary 13-tick stop I had on the initial position and the fact that price took one small look back at that stop price, made an ugly face, blew a raspberry at it and never even came within spitting distance of it the rest of the day... OK, I should be flogged. :p

Don't beat yourself up, RA. After all there are only two kinds of people in this world: those who have done some crazy shit trading oil and those who have never traded oil.

Today is another day.

I've also been carrying a long bias so no need to stop now :D




If at first you don't succeed, try again.

Not trying to tell you how to trade, RA, but wasn't something like this what got you into trouble yesterday (leaving orders on while going to hit some balls)?
