This is setting up another short trade in Oil. I'm not taking it though as I anticipate that it may just go into a trading range. We'll see soon enough.
 
Here is the short trade I did not take. It actually worked for a decent profit. Also I was correct in stating that we would go into a trading range. Although it looks like we may be breaking out of that soon.

Three trades in oil today. All shorts. The market came down pretty good and the trends were down. We had some bottoming action and the market moved back up to resistance. I got three triggers to short. The first was a stop out for -10 ticks. The second was just a scalp as I got stopped on 1/2 at entry and the Third met its profit targets. Attached is the chart showing the three trades.

A follow up on those short oil trades. One way I could improve to employ a trailing stop strategy to catch some of these bigger moves in oil. I am currently working on something that will help me do this. Attached is a chart of the short trades with the follow up. The move was worth about 700.00 per contract.

We missed the bottom of the resistance by 2 ticks. I got short on a pattern i trade in a smaller time frame. Covered 2/3 of it at plus one point and covered the last 1/3 at plus 2 ticks. I'll attach chart later.
 
That resistance on the ES is still valid and could still setup a short trade if it triggers. I 'll be watching that to re-enter short.
 
The es triggered a short just one tick below the resistance level. I took it but scalped out for just one tick. Its moving too slow, but it will probably roll over and break the lows.
