CL Redux

Quote from BCE:

Now that's what I call a breakout. :D

And the saddest part is there wasn't a single exit signal and there still isn't. Oh well, learning a lesson about letting winners run on thin volume days, ha ha!
 
Quote from BCE:

Not seeing 91 or 92 in our future soon though.

Technically I was right. :) Only got to 90.98 so far. :D Stay tuned.

Now that little spike was just to prove me wrong. :)

Yeah I know the volume gave it away. I was looking at the 15 min volume on the middle of the breakout and it was 10,501 and this last 15 is over 10k already.

Bee's knees? Who says that?

This rip is exactly what I was looking for yesterday. I don't think another buck up is out of the question.

Are you still long from 90.55 wasn't it?

SHORT's bailed into year end today after buyers were accumulating in the 89.00's area......SHORT covering rally into thin order book and Euro rally (USD drop) = WOW today! :cool:

89.00 was about at the rising 20-day MA on the daily, the strong support there was a prime setup to the long side, though I expected continuing small swings up due to the holiday volume.

I'd shorted the morning downtrend for 3 nice swings, then positioned 3 times for a possible break of 89.00, with 3 scratch trades. I took the next with-trend short off the falling 20-bar EMA (5-min chart) even though it was no longer as high probability after all that established support. I was trapped, selling the low tick of that move, but this created my favorite setup and I flipped long for a 6-tick loss and a 20-tick gain long (top of the channel exit, where EON shorted), and took a break, returned to see more strength as the channel broke out.

So I went long again for a test of the overnight high, took the 30 ticks as price appeared to stall after breaking through 90.00, and if ever there was price action that gave NO sign of weakness this was it, and I never did re-enter long again until above 91.30.

In retrospect (where all trades are perfect), there was no reason to exit my initial 89.32 long at any point (not even now as you can see).
 
Remember, the trend is your friend; S/R is where all the stops hang out, take advantage of them; limit your risk; give thanks for contracts like CL and 6E because they're the bee's knees (my Southern friend says that) :p :p

Now, time to party! Happy New Year to all! Here's to a BREAKOUT year in 2011!

I meant 89.16. I was just editing this when I lost my internet connection again. Bad timing today to be losing my connection so much.
