IncreaseNow's "Sell/Short" Futures Journal

Quote from increasenow:

can we get some technical comments on my Oil and Gold put trades over the weekend...really technical talk...

Technically, why would you buy oil puts at this point, when it's demonstrating a strong desire to retest previous resistance levels off Thursday's pivot low, leaving behind higher lows and higher highs? Technically, that's a short term uptrend (in a longer term uptrend no less), so why puts now instead of waiting for a lower high to be put in?

because I believe Oil is overbought (like Gold) and the recent run-up in commodities will fall next week at least for slight pull back

was just showing at what level for actual underlying CL was when I did enter the put trades...
 
Quote from increasenow:

+36 CL (demo) today...just like NoDoji was demo trading the CL!! Great example!!!

Stick with it, Incy. CL has everything a trader needs to be happy: decent moves in even the sleepiest markets; quick results; pain cut short quickly; technical perfection.

in all honesty...CL is what I have always wanted to trade but...need to get a little more $$$ in da account to trade it securely...yes, agree with your statement. So NoDoji, for you what % are you still trading the ES and what % CL now?

There's no fixed % one or the other; I take the setups on either of them when they're most inviting. As of last week, I've been trading 5 ES instead of 1, so I made more profit last week on ES than CL.
