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? ;)

ย 

Honestly, nope. :roll eyes:

ย 

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.

    • โ€œIf the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it wonโ€™t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It wonโ€™t be because we werenโ€™t smart enough or didnโ€™t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts donโ€™t share with us: fear of AI. ย  The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us. ย  In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans." ย  This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services. ย  The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation. ย  While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete. ย  Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.โ€ โ€“ Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/ย
