you mean buying when I should be selling - or generally just nuts LOL

too bad I missed closing one yesterday!

TraderJoe is smoking me -- so far ( haha)

I've left in the sell order for o/n

Up early for the London market, im still waiting for an entry to go long.

I should've went short when my MAs crossed. Price was below the 21MA, looked good but i was asleep.

Short 1 Contract @ 88.99 - 3:29AM EST - as the MA crossed on the downside



15m Bollinger Expanding, waiting to take myself out.



PT @ 88.55



Moved my PT @ 88.66 and took myself out 33 ticks, as it had trouble breaking .60.



+33 ticks, waiting for another move.



Breakout? 4:27AM EST

lowering sell to 89.92

in the time it took to post this it has already risen to fill and against me :-(

c'est la vie! I needed to move my focus to ES.
quelle domage!

90.14 level

I'm gonna try the ES too. Post your positions on the ES aquarian, could help



Crude oil inventories had a reduction of -4.0M which could help the price of crude above the 90's. The double bottom on the 4H and 1H chart should help the drive up, but for how long?

CL 11-11 is now trading between 89.85 to 90.40.

I have a target @ 90.74
