Oil Bullish or Bearish

Recommended Posts

What do you see Oil in next 3 months ? Bullish or Bearish ? Is Oil really heading towards 20 $ a barrel as major research firms of the world predict.

 

Your view please.

pc speak =

“After previous two weeks’ rather high inventory numbers (7.8M) we should see the inventories at 3.1M level. However, the actual numbers have lately deviated quite strongly from the analyst expectations.”

interpretation of the pc speak = “we’re trying to help talk these inventory numbers down… but the freakn tanks are filling up and running over…”

...close to B.E. on long scale trade (previously discussed in the Gold Bullish or Bearish thread)

 

REGARDLESS - will be 'hedging' up aggressively on short side over the next couple of weeks...

 

I’m not always right... but when I’m wrong, I’m still right ;)

 

(ps it's not apparent, but you can accurately project humility here... not hubris)

:cool:

As noted earlier, have been building a long scale trade in far far out CL futures... in the green now...

Planning to start more heavily locking it in with shorts on closer month contracts on approaches to ~46...

 

...will still build this scale trade for a couple more years ...

planning to add to it all the way down into the low teens...

 

:roll eyes:

btw - scale trades hog up capital

and

:helloooo:

take a long time ...

 

:missy:

not in my wheel house really...

Crude oil is the new widow maker. It trades heavier than a wet dawg in a New York thunderstorm. Rallies have no legs and its seems the only bid these days are the shorts with their family jewels caught in a vice grip.

 

Fwiw I’m still in this same long scale trade.

Same plan. Have capital allocated for a ‘crash’ in energy prices... which may never happen...:missy:

 

fwiw - On many levels this is a peak technology / peak infrastructure play more than it is a peak supply or peak production play . Most would equate technology / infrastructure with production. In this case, I think it's better to seg them out...

 

Getting exasperated with rolling it every quarter - but hey, that’s scale trading...

 

'Hedging' tactics have changed since last post from selected / fixed level using stops underneath to overboughts using 'limit's above... but already looking at cycles for when to shift tactics back to fixed level / stops underneath ...

 

Average net long price is down to ~ 34 - after 'successfully' trading/ (hedging and lifting) 7 of the last 4 :confused: :rofl: good downdrafts using close month contracts.

Back to work...

 

to ‘hedge’ CLV18 longs, incrementing trailing stop .10 -.30 per day with CLG18 contracts. Currently they trail about 2.50 under yesterday’s CLG18 lows ...

 

the current 'joke' around here is what how much smaller, unleveraged positions in btc have absolutely kicked this position's ass the whole way through...

:roll eyes:

 

:missy:

crammed most trailing stops to just under this weeks CLG18 low ... to ‘hedge’ CLV18 longs

 

(starting to 'imagine' an exit to this trade and starting to build a short scale trade in CL - but don't know yet when or where I would begin... summerish? mid 70's ish???.

just my imagination :doh: :)

... CL "doesn't even know me"... time to do some cycle and resonance work...)

How many currencies are, in effect, mere derivatives of the USD?

For example, the new petroyuan - (beyond being some corrupt chinese exchange startup entrepreneurs’ wet dreams,) meaningless until they take off the peg to the dollar.

Wars and rumors of wars... and... fiats and rumors of fiats...


‘Somebody’ wants 90 to 100 barrel... but


 I’m moving my hedge stops up under this run in CL ... these recent up waves appear corrective, ie not impulsive, to me...

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
