CL

USOIL: Correction in a monthly trendI'd reccomend to stand aside, or, look to trade the extremes of the range if you are adept at chop trading. In my case, I'm more of a trend trader, but could look to trade $PBR on dips to support and exit when valuation is stretched again, after an overbought rally...Or stocks like $OXY, or refineries, like $MPC, $PBF, etc. If you expect oil to make a big move, you will get disappointed and probably buy into fake breakouts multiple times, to then get tempted to sell or flip short on fake break downs...The green vertical line on chart is the estimated time required to start a big monthly trend again. Until then, expect a volatile sideways range. Cheers, Ivan Labrie.

CL breakdown continues powerfully, big Daily levels in sight nowUpdate to a previous post I made about the CL level breakdown. Bias remains short until proven otherwise. Flat, no clear entries for me until tomorrow morning when we look at premarket price action and range. Yesterday's trade posted to twitter. 11.25R despite mismanaging the hell out of it. It's imperative you learn to take wholesale entries, understand context, and know when to pull the trigger and when to HAPPILY stand aside.

D1 bias, H1 setup, short term executionI'll post my Ninjatrader charts for trade entries. This is the kind of setup I want to wait for vs fighting the grind on NQ today. I'm a momentum trader, and momentum comes from traps and/or tipping points. I don't want price to ever come back to my entry and I don't believe in wide stops. Before taking entries, ask yourself about the market state. Is it grinding? If so, you're going to get killed with constant retests of your entries, general noise etc. What's the point getting into a position you think is going to be retested (I'm speaking as a daytrader, not a swing trader...). If you're getting stuck overtrading, ask yourself this: Do I really expect this trade to move to my target? If there's a preceding trap AND contraction AND empty space ahead of you...that's where the money's made.

Bullish CL Crude Oil Swing TradeIn January of this year, a clear and well-respected swing zone began to form. The bottom of this zone held very strong support yesterday and today, and broke clean through the top of the zone today. I see a good entry in a potentially very high upside trade. There is a resistance zone from ~$70.80-71.80, so my soft target is right below that zone. However, I am not setting a limit order and will wait a day or two as we approach and react to that zone. I want to allow this trade to run and hopefully see new yearly highs. Reversal daily candle in the resistance zone will be a signal to sell. RSI entering overbought will be one signal to sell. Entry: $67.59 Stop (break of strong support zone): $65.30 Target (before next zone): $70.49

Crude looks bearishClues (1) ascending wedge in downtrend is bearish (but agreeably the next major trend is bullish) (2) price where a large resistance line exists and a former support line is now acting as resistance I think it would be wiser to wait and buy when price goes back down to the stronger trend support line (in black). That said, any short position here should have a tight stop. Bear Here is how I envision the short trade to go if you were to take it right now. Bull Here is the bullish case - buying the breakout retest.
