I admire traders like you aquarian--I also think you're nuts, but I respect your trading style and conviction!! Keep up the good work.

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

too bad I missed closing one yesterday!

peace, love and joy to you

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

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.

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
