OIL STOCKS leading CRUDE OILWhat do you mean by a spread? A spread is a difference between two similar markets, in this case oil stocks and oil service companies versus the basic commodity that those oil companies trade in, which is crude oil. There is a substantial trade set up at the moment that presents large returns with a reasonable amount of risk. Shorting Energy Stocks using the $XLE ETF and going long oil with the $USO ETF. In the last two instances, it was $USO that was leading higher without $XLE to support the advance, and $USO collapsed to close the spread. See chart enclosed above. Why does this spread exist? We can point to political promises to "end the use of oil" that forced investors to reconsider the long term valuations of oil stocks. Investors don't typically "own oil" through oil futures, rather they own "oil in the ground" by way of oil companies. Risk $5-$10 in crude oil and 5%-10% in $XLE roughly. If one market moves more than 5% then we can look to increase the position and tighten the stops to break-even. There is no specific 'catalyst' to drive this pair back together at the moment. If the economy opens back up globally, then oil demand estimates will rise and cause people to buy oil futures. Opening up could also drive energy stocks higher too due to very high margins currently in the processing of crude oil into their refined products. The only risk in life is taking no risks. Nothing is without risk. Holding cash leaves you to be exposed to inflation and the loss in purchasing power. The rest of the disclaimers are standard legal ones. I have no positions in this trade yet, but will be considering them. A good way to manage risk is to use options in the form of spreads on both sides of this trade to define a maximum amount of risk in advance. Buying a call spread on $USO and buying a put spread on $XLE would serve to manage risk intelligently. The duration of this trade should be 3 months at maximum.

USO - shortIt looks like WTI crude oil futures will close up today. That will be the ninth consecutive day that they are rising. In the last 23 years that has happened on only 8 previous occasions. In all but one of these 8 times, crude oil snapped the winning streak the following day. The mean return for all 8 occasions is -0.9%. I am going short USO as a short-term trade, expressed through put options, which I expect to close by the end of the week . I don't have a precise price target, but I am looking for something around 77. I'd take a loss on the trade if USO were to close above this week's high above 78.78

Daily timing on $USO target 68.50ishI wish I had posted the work I had on this thing for the bullish move up from the 17th, but here we are at a date my dowsing gave me and a nice move up right into it. I expect there to be a 5 point retracement and target is $68.50. There could be another little pop on it, but it's a sell. I'll look for another date later. For now, it should go down as dowsing said "continues down", "trade entry", "waterfall", "new weekly low", "end of bull market". The last one can mean just temporarily. Now you know some of the attributes of my work. Let's see what happens!

USO Up or Down OIL ECOMONY in fluxAs certain countries want to exchange oil for money with anything but USD such as Chinese Yen or even a cryptocurrency to be launched by US neutrals or adversaries cooperating, USO on this chart rose dramatically over the past month and is now sitting at resistance as shown by the LuxAlgo Supply and Demand Zone indicator. The RSI shows possible bearish divergence perhaps heralding a reversal of the uptrend. I see this as a good place to take a short sell entry and most buyers have taken their profits. Fundamentally there are enough competing geopolitical and macroeconomic factors to deprive USO of the energy to push through resistance. See also the link below from US federal forecasters. I see this as a short trade at a limit price below the resistance zone and stop loss above it. Profit targets can be the VWAP, the midline between the supply and demand zones as a 50% Fibonacci retracement of the uptrend and finally one standard deviation below the anchored VWAP making for a safe three-tiered take-profit procedure to optimize profit and diminish risk also adjusting the stop loss at intervals using ATR as a guide. 40% at each of the first two targets and the remainder at the last. Put options 20-30 DTE at the a strike above the resistance zone for a good delta are another consideration.
