Oil Slips as Saudi Arabia Offers to Offset Missing Libya Supply

Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Oil fell as Saudi Arabia offered to make up for supplies lost because of unrest in Libya and on reports the North African country is exporting crude.

Futures slipped as much as 0.9 percent in New York after Chief Executive Officer Khalid Al-Falih said the Saudi Arabian Oil Co. is ready to compensate for any shortfall in crude supply. Most ships picking up Libyan oil cargoes have done so successfully in the past week, said Bob Knight, head of tankers at Clarkson Plc, the world’s largest shipbroker.

“The Saudi offer to make up for any missing barrels has calmed things a bit,” said Michael Lynch, president of Strategic Energy & Economic Research in Winchester, Massachusetts. “Most of Libyan supplies come from parts of the country that are under control of anti-government forces who will want to get them up and running as soon as possible.”

Picaso,

Dont you think that maybe a trailing stop can get you more winning trades?

Lets say 10 ticks after you are 20 in the black.

No one can go broke by taking profits (even small ones, as long that they are in total greater than your total losses)

Thanks for the advice, tzachi - it's complicated :D


Quote from BCE:

You know Kid, a lot of people here post their trades after the fact including Picaso, NoDoji, and others. Not sure why you've decided to pick on me.

Not sure what this was about, however I don't think I post trades after the fact with a couple of exceptions due to no internet connection for which I've provided blotters. ??? Let's keep the peace, least we go the way of the ES thread. :)
 
Quote from NoDoji:

2. I haven't traded long one single time today :D


I think you have an edge there. Even a few hours seems to be too long a time frame to hold such rapidly depreciating stuff like leveraged ETFs or CL with their 30-50% annual time decay... it is probably wise to use the cash-settled Brent for longs, while keeping CL for shorting only (that way some funds trade the stock index futures basis), until the convergence of this spread finally becomes apparent (driving season?)

Hope you're back, looks like you just got filled.

Ha, I'm back and I've been filled since 12:31 eastern time (no hard target yet).
