Crude Oil Candlestick Analysis

Recommended Posts

OK, well I hope you guys still go on with this type of analysis on all different types of markets and time frames. I'm outta here. Too many vendors and people pimping vendors sh*t, it's not worth it any more. If I wanted that I'll just go to ET. Too bad because this forum was a nice change of pace. Oh well. Good trading to all!

Thanks for all the great contributions trader273.

I only had a look at a few threads on ET and never intended to stay there, just too much noise. The short time i've been here has been pretty interesting and i haven't seen any flame wars until now. To me it seems to be just a minor nuisance.

Hope you'll change your mind, but it's your decision.

 

Stay long(except for crude) and strong

Well unfortunately we lost a member, that's too bad but I would like to keep this thread going.

 

On the weekly chart gold is still going higher and still showing plenty of strength. We had a great opportunity to go long a few weeks ago and show no reason to exit the trade yet. I still have my target of $86 - but I do expect a dip or two before it gets there.

Well I stopped by and I saw the thread about Trex and people like that no longer wanted here, so I'm more the happy to post here and try to help each other. Just cant stand vendors who claim they are the best thing in the world, yet couldn't prove it at all :confused:. Anyways....lets take a look at crude.

 

Nothing is really that different in the daily or weekly, so lets take a look at the 60 minute. This smaller timeframe might give us a clear view of whats going on. Looks like it is stuck in a range. Seems like there is a lot of resistance building on the 60 minute, but likewise there is some support building. Looks like it cant sustain any prices above the 81.20 level. If we can get a good close over that level ( and the daily and weekly hold up) we could be in for another move up. However, if sellers continue to come in and these levels are rejected some more, the bears could take control. However, the main level to watch for the downside, is a close below the 78.50ish level.

 

So the 60 could provide some indication, but I think its prudent to wait for at least the daily, if not the weekly.

On the daily we had an evening start to take note of the other day. Today it looks like a possible hammer position. Switching over to the weekly we may have a spinning top forming. But I want to wait until the end of Friday before making any sort of decisions based off the weekly chart.

 

I view crude as more of a position trade, so I have been debating if I should pay attention the daily anymore or if I should just focus on the monthly/weekly chart.

Crude at an all time high, but its diverging and headed south.

Gasoline in a downtrend with nothing diverging yet.

 

Should be interesting, the gap needs to close and the path of least resistance is down. I'm unsure what this will do to the overall market conditions. I know this is not candlesticks but thought it was an interesting comparison.

 

Any comments or input?

I would say to take a good portion off at the profit objective zone, maybe something like 2/3, and let 1/3 run. But if you look at the other trades, by the time a reversal came you gave back a lot of profit. So I'd be more comfortable taking most, if not all, at the profit objective zone. I guess it depends on what each trader is most comfortable with.

 

Also, entering on a daily chart is more of an aggressive move. Waiting for the weekly would have been the most prudent thing to do, but aggressiveness is not always a bad thing.

 

I'll post a chart after the close to see where this trade is at. As of 12:27 CL is currently trading at 80.51, which represents a 23cent profit ( $230/ct). From a quick look, it appears price came down to the major support level and go rejected yet again. So it looks like this level is holding up.

Trader 273, what is your price target for longs on CL. It seems to me that we are very close to it. Shall we wait for another 50 cents? For me its right time to go short within 15-60 minutes. I'll make the effort:helloooo:

First Profit objective was around the $84. That is where the majority of the contracts came off, now I have a trail stop to try and catch a bigger move. I'm not looking for a short at all at these levels. Ill consider a short if price retraces these highs in the next coming days and then goes back to that level (resistance now). My hope is that price will come back to around the $79 level for another buy. But, now holding a only about 1/3 cts long with a stop around just below $84.

    • 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.
