CNBC has someone come on around 1:40PM EST today talking about
Oil. He said lower pricing ahead and DXO dropped .10 cents in
2 mins.
I picked up 10K at 1.80 and just sold 3/4 @
1.88. Keeping last 1/4 for day .. Moved stop up
to 1.81 ... See if it still goes higher yet today back to 1.95.
I'm still holding some shares for downchannel support
play. These shares I picked up today are for day trade scalp
only. I will not hold them overnight.
This trade today is a good example for new traders why you lock
in some profits on way up but keep some for a runner. Looking
back selling @ 1.88 3/4 doesn't seem so good now that price is
above 2.00 however I stuck to my trading plan.
Get daily dollar trading goal of my business trading plan and
lock it in. Keep 1/2 to 1/4 for a runner.

Chris, Is 1.99 your stop on a swing trade or your day trade?
Will you carry your DXO position into the next week? I am tempted
to keep mine, although today's run has been spectacular. Thanks for
your trading comments :-))

Nymex traders are set to defend $35/bbl next week. If it breaks,
it will be a sharp drop to.....................$30/bbl where their
will be strong support.
Now, what is the nav for DXO if we test $30 on the February
contract (CLG9)?
My guess is we test............$1.40 on the DXO.
The downtrend channel should finally bust to the downside.
Thanks however the credit goes to the Board here and Matt.
The Board here has shared a few systems and trained me via posting
charts over the past 6 months of these systems. I've been
studying them for months.
Matt's chart posting of DXO downchannel from eariler (I believe
Monday) also helped plus with 7/21 system cross was yet another
signal to take home some shares.
I didn't do much other than watch and wait. Nice part
is when it dropped .13 cents in about 3 mins. timeframe I knew I
needed to pull the trade since I already knew 1.77 was support area
from earlier in trading day. No thinking just chart reading so
when I saw 1.80 on ask I placed my large size order. I used
stop limit once my order was filled near 1.72 area just in case
support was broken and wouldn't hold.
For new traders .. chart study. Know support and Ress
zones and chart signals. When they signal you do not think
you just place orders.
Old me would have thought too much and then lost the trade or
entered too late and been a higher risk entry .. Thanks BPT
for the site ... Its great and worth money spent to join.
Everyone have a nice weekend
