Crude oil Tutorial Set up

    Crude oil Tutorial Set up and trade example from today. This shows the power of the reversion to mean trade. We had hidden divergence, a candle completely under the bb's, lots of room to 5 EMA, and an important moving average (200 MA), and it was a measured move down. What else do want to confirm a trade. Also, there was a quick scalp to be made at the 50 MA that may turn out to be a nice holder. Notice the red horizontal line where the 50 MA is. That is also the value area high.

    Nice.  Could you explain a bit more what was the hidden divergence?  Also, do you usually use the 30 min chart when trading crude?

    Hidden Divergence

    Divergences not only signal a potential trend reversal; they can also be used as a possible sign for a trend continuation. Always remember, the trend is your friend, so whenever you can get a signal that the trend will continue, then good for you!

    Hidden bullish divergence happens when price is making a higher low (HL), but the oscillator is showing a lower low (LL).

    This can be seen when the pair is in an uptrend. Once price makes a higher low, look and see if the oscillator does the same. If it doesn’t and makes a lower low, then we’ve got some hidden divergence in our hands.

    Wow, inverted Eiffel Tower in Crude oil! Perhaps a little short setting up on the 30 min or 15 min chart! Crude hit a perfect symmetry move on it's ride down this morning. No more, no less.  Above the 200 MA and a big pull back are the best trades!. Shorting will be a counter trend trade now.
