2 Contracts @ +16 ticks each. Stop: 8 ticks. R/R: 1:2

Crude (CL)


That pesky nexusfi.com (formerly BMT) bug has made your CL chart not post. Others so far are fine....

Bob.

Unfortunately, I have to go to the doctor. Up about $475 I believe. Hoping that I will be back in time for the afternoon move. I want to be above $700 today.

Hope your trading is going well!

I missed the good setup so I was trying for a quick scalp. PHOD was holding with major divergence. Also had two lower highs in the congestion area and I was looking for price to pull back to the 2009 area. Turned out there was nothing quick about it (time of day). Setup was nice but NO follow through.
  • Stop: 7 ticks. Target: 9 Contracts: 2



Price moved 7 ticks and stalled. I got tired of waiting and wanted to get some sleep so I moved stop to +5 and exited the trade.

See you all in the morning!

Glad I went to sleep - It just reached the 2009 area about 1/2 hour ago.

I wanted this one bad for 2 points because it would have put me back on all green for the Combine but I couldn't take the trade because of news. Bummer!

Hoping CL doesn't reach the 47.60 area before I can get in.
