Quote from ChipBSmall:
I placed my stop just below the last long term support (32.80). With the trend of my chart still bullish and confirming support, common sense would dictate that if the trend stays intact that price should rise through contract expiration, in December, to test the previous resistance tops from that long term support once it has solidified. Price for December Soy Oil is still in the process of confirming that support. A potential early entry into the trade position is protected by the stop.
Unlike a daytrade, I don't need to monitor this position each minute. I only review the status once per day. I am in this trade for the long term, into expiration.
Starting the first week in November I will begin to place naked options positions against the confirmed direction of this market as it moves into expiration as a way to further profit from this contract.
I've traded this particular contract since themid July 2008 with my first short and my profit position in it since then is quite nice. Since my first trade in this contract I've held 10 positions over the last 14 months. Seven of those profitable and 3, including the current one, have lost money or is currently loosing money. The current pullback isn't a concern because it falls within the parameters of my established trend. Once this contract closes in December the success of the contract is valued at the overall profitablity over the whole 17 to 18 month period of trading it. Profit is based on options revenue and futures revenue, total.
