chart Update 4/24: Example of pathetic stop placement. Clearly drew out my resistance along the diagonal line but did not consider it. Not only should my stop have been placed at around 1200, but my entry to short should have been 1193.
Hmmm... I am long, but not based on a monthly time frame, hence the neutrality of my post.
I'M GOING LONG NOW AND ADDING AT MY ENTRY. Update: 4/15 - This is now a signal to go short, but I won't do that. Instead I'll short the USD against the CAD.
See chart Update June 19: Placing my stop at 79. If it it closes on the weekly above my purple box I am closing.
This is really interesting to me because the CAD has a .90 correlation coefficient with oil. That either means we'll see some strength in oil, at least temporarily, or continued weakness in the Euro. I love this bet.
I'm going long Monday morning. No target - will trail. British pound is in ugly territory. Additionally, UK central bank is one of the few that have not printed nearly as much money as the G7 countries. Lastly, FTSE has never been this high... Breakout. Update June 19: Placing stop at 655
Long UWTI AT 2.60. My bet is oil breaks out heavy this coming week.
HERE'S THE DEAL. THERE IS PLENTY OF CONTRADICTION IN DIRECTIONAL POSSIBILITIES WHICH MAKE IT CHALLENGING TO PLACE A PROBABILITY. ON "USOIL DAILY" WE'RE CLEARLY HITTING A MAJOR RESISTANCE. FUNDAMENTALLY OIL IS WEAK (I.E., STRONG DOLLAR, SUPPLY/DEMAND RATIO IS STILL INCREASING). HOWEVER, THE RISK IN THIS TRADE IS EXTREMELY CLEAR. A BREAK UNDER $50, AND WE KNOW...
Update 4/9. Closed entire position (DWTI) when oil hit 50.65
A close above $55 should cover the position. Update 4/9 - noticed a major inverted Head and Shoulders pattern in conjunction with a diagonal trend line support. Tread carefully if youre short. Price needs to break below $50 to invalidate the bullish patterns. I closed my entire short position at $50.65.
I ADVISE LOOKING AT 30 - 40 YEAR DATA ON SOYBEANS. TARGET IS DETERMINED BASED ON LONG TERM HISTORY. FUNDAMENTALLY, SOYBEAN PRICES TYPICALLY FALL FROM PLANTING SEASON TO HARVEST SEASON. IN ADDITION TO THAT, THE CONTINUED STRENGTH IN THE US DOLLAR SHOULD FUEL THE DOWNWARD TREND.
As it stands, this is a massive opportunity to go LONG. Target can be as high as 2.50. The secret sauce in trading is not necessarily the entry, but in the way you follow a trend and exit. If stop is broken then it is a high probability short - it would confirm the monthly resistance at 1.95. Target would be 1.63 or lower.
Potentially a nice small cap to hold long term.
Nice R/R and probability. May 21 stock split adjust 134
