Trading Oil and Gold

Recommended Posts

Dinero - interesting chart there. Could explain why I'm getting chopped up on the CL today... price is trying to figure out where to go and tossing me around with it.

 

:(

 

I am having the same problem. I have been expecting that huge reversal upward and not getting it. It will come in time whether today or the next few days. I think price is too discounted to stay this low but that is just my intuition.

 

Not sure if the volume split is also causing a problem or not, just an observation.

As a side note, you asked about trying to figure out when price might move more on a day - today is a good example where your predefined support level is giving the market an area to take a breather and regroup. Will it last all day? No idea. Will it carry over till tomorrow? No idea. But perhaps something there for you to consider. I guess the key would be knowing when to trade it (ie the move is coming) and when to just watch (ie price is stalling like today).

Just curious - how does this trendline help you?

 

Depends how you trade I guess. Oil often will make moves exactly in line with a trendline. This post was mostly just an interesting observation. You'll see a few posts before that oil traded in an obvious channel for a long period and provided many a good trade.

I normally don't trade CL from 10:30 - 12:00 CST (11:30 - 1 EST) because the market usually just chops around during this time. However this week there have been MASSIVE price drops during this time - does anybody other than me think this a bit odd???

I guess it's all in how you view things, but I trade oil straight through till 230pm EST. For my trading, I don't see a 'lunch' often in oil.

Maybe I have rationalized this lunch chope zone thing since looking at my stats my bigest and almost all of my losing trades happen between 10:30 - 12:00 CST.

 

If you and others are making money during those times I must assume that its a mental issue with me.

Here's an example of how trailing a stop can look on the CL:

 

attachment.php?attachmentid=18568&stc=1&d=1264801146

 

I had mentioned in the p/l thread that if you decide to trail stops on the CL, you better give them some room to work and here's why.

 

It would be easy in hindsight to see a winning long that got you 40+ ticks but in reality, had you trailed just about anywhere, you would have made little or even LOST on this trade. Looks can be deceiving, esp after the fact in trading. Don't let your eyes fool you.

To show a different perspective, the last three days of oil shown on the last MP graphic on the right is distributed rather evenly despite closing near the lows. I have yet to prepare for Monday morning but my initial glance at this shows a possibility for a a move up and pa willing a good short. I usually enter the day with 2 fundamental trades I am looking for, again I have not done my homework yet but I may be watching for it. I will see if I can post something

 

Right as I posted I realized I posted a MP chart in the Candlestick Corner, is that ok? Otherwise it could be moved to the pl thread.

In case anyone was interested in seeing what the people who trade oil on fundamentals use for their analysis, I attached a pdf of a what the big oil and gas guys I know are looking at. Its about $11,000 minimum to subscribe to this for one year. I don't use it in my trading right now but I thought it was interesting to go through and consider.

You can't be serious?

 

Goldman sends me open interest reports for all commodities/currencies/fixed income/etc weekly for free - and it has a lot more data then smiley faces and weather predictions.

Gartman's analysis is usually spot on (at least when I used to look at it), it is around $400/year

Ahh, I see I mis-spoke. Gotta check the details better before I post. That would be 10,500 for 5 licenses. My mistakel So more like $2,100 per person. Still way to expensive obviously. I wasn't all that impressed myself. They are just using it from a business perspective. They aren't traders.

Perhaps it's too long gone, but I would love to revive this thread again :-) Any takers?

 

Here's my current chart setup on the 60m. My plan was to long 111, but with the big drop down with heavy momentum and going all the way down 30 ticks below the area on my chart, I was a little bit afraid to go long after we came back above 111. I tried a short as the pictures show, but was fished before the move down... tested yesterday's high to the tick, and I was unsure of the direction at that point.

Maybe it's better that crude go away in fall.down...his price was further like some year ago that arrived to 140$ you had a good support near 110..maybe..you used stop.loss too much tight ,for a chart set up 60 m ....try to 15 m in crude,itìs a bit cardio-danger,but you can scalp it ;) better.

I use a 1 minute chart for entry, 5 for "2 day" view, and have 15m, 60m, and 240m up for larger views, I just showed the 60m because it gives a nice view of the last couple of weeks.

XAU/USD DAILY as of Wednesday, 27 February, 2013

A Daily white body has formed (because prices closed higher than they opened).

For the past 10 Daily candlestick bars as of 26/02/13, there are 5 white candles versus 5 black candles.

For the past 50 Daily candlestick bars as of 26/02/13, there are 25 white candles versus 25 black candles.

Three Daily white candles has formed during the last three Daily bars. Although these candles were not big enough to create three Daily white soldiers, the steady upward pattern is bullish.

Intraday trade: Long Gold with target at: 1624.20 and stop loss at 1579.30

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • 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.
