Crude Trader Journals, Threads, Blogs?

Recommended Posts

The CL is a marvelous market to trade but you better watch it and paper trade it before going live. When she wants to move, she will move w/o any concern about giving you time to get in or where your stop is at.

> she will move

I couldn't agree more! I've been watching the CL for a few weeks now and have seen her go. Sometimes I'll trade it small during its relatively lull periods. The last few days have been crazy, to say the least. I primarily just trade the price, which is why I'm curious to see the fundamental side of crude, which, if I'm not mistaken, drives it more than anything else.

Well, we could debate what pushes price around, but I think it's good advice to anyone looking to trade oil to watch it first. If you want action, you got it there.

 

It was a bit slow the week of Xmas, but it's back in action and some great intraday moves for sure.

Does anyone know of any good journals, threads or blogs that discuss trades in light sweet crude oil?

 

WSJ reported today's (1/4/2011) drop as 'profit-taking' (http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-20110104-710517.html), which I find hard to believe. I'd like to see real traders blog/journal their perspectives on what really happened :)
