yep, I feel actually dissapointed and down despite making returns. I shorted this thing from 109.00 and I had this idea to leave 1/4 th of my trade running with no take profit but still closed it for only 150 pips. and tonight same.
I also was thinking oil was going up as bulls were coming back but wanted to sleep :)
This is my third month trading oil. I used to tarde Forex but always wanted to trade commodities. And my daily schedule changed in such a way that I cannot trade Forex when it worth trading according to my style. I work 2 shifts every day and time is good to trade exchange based instruments.
Can you say that oil behaves differently from Forex? I think so. But I also think oil is not for newbies.

look like nice situation to start looking for long entries.
I entered long today after getting stopped on short trade, but had to leave early and closed trade.
Nice daily candle. I wonder if 10 holds now. I think it ill.

100 has held so far and currently price is testing 101 which is holding as support. Price is under daily open though. must be careful. I think if I go long will do so with smaller size.

Here in Toronto despite practically 15-18% drop of crude price in one week gas is still costs practically same. They dropped just $0.03-0.04. Does it say that big guys know something? Otherwise how to explain why prices are not going down at the pump?
May be because the gasoline made of oi; bought at higher prices for now?

bought when price failed to break 100.70-100.75 level and crossed 101 from below. closed half position and moved stop to BE on second half. plan is to close half of what is left around 102-102.50 if it gets there. i will see. the last part will be left to run.

102 was broken but is not holding yet. I am looking for 102.35 to get broken to move stop again.

decided to move stop down a little bit. 101.50 is a magnet. will move it back if price moves higher again.
do not want to lose this trade as it might give more pips.

Oh the official explanation may sound like that yeah but in reality it's just extra profit for the petrol company. Nobody forces them to follow crude prices up and down and they're aware of that. Crude goes up - next day you see it at the pump. Crude collapses - no hurry to cut the prices.

Surround yourself with people whose eyes light up when they see you and who have no agenda for your reform.

It is understandable but in this case it is too much.
Price dropped considerably and stays here for already enough time to consider dropping price at the pump.
Generally they are quick to rise and slow to drop.
I remember 2005 after Catrina prices skyrocketed.

I will be leaving soon. start watching since 9:30 a.m. again.
nice trade but could havemade better.
should have closed first half later for more pips, but 102.36 was resistance so I felt safe to secure some profit and reduce risk.
