Crude intraday

[>Apocalypto<]

Re: Calling all Crude day Traders.

I prefer trading it off the 1 min chart, and I haven't seen it lead anything yet, other way round if anything....but thats just me, just go with what you feel suits you best and stare. But I'm sure you've heard all that before, so I'll just shut up

Good luck

thanks Sam,

you nailed it, each to their own in this business. what works for you may not work for me. and what NS thinks is the way is not the way i trade or possibly feel comfortable with.

hope your picking up some points.

here's the story so far tonight, i am still in shock another clean profitable afternoon early evening.

BLESS YOU Nomore4s! :bier: I bet you can tell I am still a cash market player!

cheers

not bad depth for this time in the day in the JUN contract...... (comparing to what I have seen in the may)

also for any other CL newbies I have attached the Energy calendar for 2010, has all the expires and more.

cheers

lol, one of the traps. If you double click on the contract in IB or right click and bring up the contract info it has the expiry date in there for you as well as other info.

CL is a great contract to trade imo, good clean moves, trends well and quite easy to read and great for scalping small moves off a 1 min chart, really suits my "style" to a tee.

Good to see you are also finding it good to trade, I personally have never been able to get into forex.

I've got plenty of videos and documented moments where oil clearly leads everything else... during peak market hours that is. During 3am EST chop it generally follows ES, but i haven't really looked at it then.

I have seen plenty of times when oil is just sitting near a breakout point, everything else is on the verge of breaking out, oil starts to pull back, then ES Gold bonds USD follow.. then oil smashes through the support/resistance and everything else starts to follow and also breaks out. Doesnt always happen but enough for me to notice it.

lol, I'm not disagreeing with you, I just haven't seen it yet, you are probably far more elite and more experienced than I am, so I wouldn't know.

Haha, just a joke between nomore4s and myself, I could tell you, but I might have to kill you after

You Gents enjoying these 500 lots sweeps down??

just starting.. but looking at it now makes u wonder what they are trying to acheive. Whenever ive seen it on a smaller timescale, price normally ends up heading the same way as the sweeps.. lets see if it holds on a larger timescale.

fraaaaaak, saw em was humbled. one very interesting market.

have to say TH, i really see now why you talked up futs. one thing that's great to have is volume!

one question (anyone), in ninja Trader is it possible to have the vol update live as the bar moves and not have it update to its total on the close of the bar?

cheers

Goto indicator settings and change "Calculate on bar close" to False on your volume settings.

Like so...

Haha, ohh yes, its the secret to success that one right there

Nah its just a visual timer instead of the numbers counting down, got sections for how many minutes and the colour disappears as the bar nears completion, its not too bad, sometimes it can get in the way though.

 

[Trembling Hand]

sometimes it can get in the way though.

You can position it in different corners and also make it thinner. I have it set to 4 rather than the default 10 height.

Ahh cool, you can too, I hadn't really looked at the settings much, didn't think there would be much you could adjust, thanks for that

short terms, what MA do you prefer, I have always used EMA under 10 min but I tend to like WMA more. I have read up on em but can't see any real advantages listed in what i have written.

opinions????
