Crude Oil Candlestick Analysis

Recommended Posts

Update on CL long:

Took 2/3 of at $84, for a profit of $4.46/ct ( that comes out to $4,460/ct)

Still letting 1/3 ride in case this thing really takes off. Current stop on that is just below the $84 level. Heating Oil and Natural gas are all producing good profits as well. Yet people still say candles do not work, I hope I can show people here that simple techniques can and are effective. No need for extravagant indicators, or POS vendors that try to sell there uber-secret, yet uber-amazing system that promises you market dominance for a mere $6k. Common sense should prevail, but it is usually the greed that prevails, till reality sets in. Oh well, hope this is helping someone out there.

A bit off topic, i read NihabaAshi's hammer's revisited thread on ET and he doesn't look a volume either. Mostly using price action and WRBs, fascinating stuff, but it surely needs a lot experience to make it work.

Cool. I've got ways that volume really works in my crazy brain, so I definitely put it to use. Love seeing these threads tho. But damn, those contracts trade pretty rich per tick, don't they :)

I was watching the 78-79 area as a support level, and it held nicely. What prompted you to buy 2 months ago?

Actually more like 3 months ago because of the Inverse Head and Shoulder and some Fibonacci calculations. I bought the ETF(USO) which is basically consist of unleverage futures positions. I bought it for my long-term portfolio which explains why I have held it so long. Had I bought the futures, I probably would have liquidated in a couple of hours .:o

I was going to say that is a helluva long time to be holding some crude oil contracts.

I could hold that long, but it would seriously disturb my sleeping pattern.

That's my issue with holding overnights OAC too. For whatever reasons, overnight 'exposure' rattles my system. Probably b/c I haven't held overnight in so long!

You remember that OAC do you? ;)

 

Honestly, nope. :roll eyes:

 

I did what I was taught - sell managed money and let the managers worry about the rest. My job was to sell. And I did.

 

It was a different life for me back then... :)

Moving the stop on the remaining 1/3. Moving it to 84.89, Just below the psychological level and round number of 85. Didn't like how today's candle ended. Long-Legged Doji, aka "Rickshaw Man". Shows the market is finding some sort of balance. I don't like balanced markets. Expecting a sell off coming, hopefully to the 82.50 level and I'll look for another buy. Till then we shall see what comes of the remaining 1/3 I got long still.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful.
