Crude Oil Futres

Recommended Posts

I recently found OFA FREE and here is a snap of it showing a trade coupled with my standard PLT indicator on the right. This is the free version of OFA software which shows order flow in a bit different manner than all the other ladders. It is great. I bought the paid version and full suite of plug-ins with it but have not had a chance to use it.

This is going to be some pretty exciting times with OFA in the near future.

Anyone interested in order flow I highly recommend going to the OFA FREE site and downloading the program. Working software FREE forever and very meaningful.

Dead Thread?

 

I looking for Crude to bounce to $100 this week.:(

 

Hi James

You are right - 'dead thread' - this is why I abandoned it back in February this year. Lack of interest and input. I thought I would try a couple posts to see if we can generate some interest especially with the OFA software. Order flow is the way to go but nobody was able or willing to help me to try and understand it. The OFA does that.

Crude is like going to Monte Carlo and if one can master it with a reasonable trade strategy it offers up a pot of gold each day. I follow it but have spent more time on the 6E and EURUSD. Now with the OFA I will pay more attention to it and try to harness its' speed.

A low was due on the day of the 24th and it did not disappoint with the double bottom. We will now uptrend for a short while and you may be right with the 100 area.

How do you follow this instrument. Do you have any snaps?

James may I suggest you go into the OFA FREE website and download the order flow software that is shown in my attached snap. This is the paid version but the FREE will give you most of what you see here. CL is just great today not blowing itself out of the water and going crazy. It is days like today one can really capitalize. Me - I am outside working on a deck/patio that has to get done before winter.

Here is a snap with a few trade set-ups marrying my indicator software with the OFA.

A snap today showing several trade set-ups in the overnight and early morning hours of Oct 29/13. Note how the order flow chart compliments my indicator set-ups and vice versa. Following order flow on OFA is simplified once you have a basic understanding of it. There is all kinds of instruction available in recorded webinars on the OFA site available to anyone all the time. The FREE version of the software is available and support forum to go with it. If you have any interest in order flow "Go get it". costs nothing.

I want to add that I have absolutely nothing to do with OFA except that I bought the paid version and just highly recommend it.

Here is the link for the OFA

It has been awhile since I posted on this thread. I wanted to show a snap of the Crude Oil June-14 contract for last Friday. Trying to optimize my setups for maximum performance and I thought we are getting pretty close. The European session at times moves pretty well but other times just dogs along. Generally there is lots of time to enter the trade - PATIENCE is paramount in waiting for the proper setup. The setups I show all give you a 10 tick return almost 100% of the time. For scalpers just take the first 5 or whatever you are comfortable with. Running more than 1 contract can garner some handsome profits. I still feel this is "Casino Royale" but the opportunities are immense.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
