No..not really..just going by the fact that things may appear to be breaking out because of order flow..but then when the level rejects..you can easily get stopped out.

I felt strongly we were going to get a breakout..and I entered a trade earlier and decided to give myself a little more room to withstand the bounciness..but ended up losing 20 ticks.. I ended up being right..but my timing was off.

So after being 20 ticks down, around 12:40 I tried again for the breakout long and ended up making a 13 tick winner.. and then a 45 tick explosive runner. So, almost made 30 for the day.

Lance, it has been interesting to see where you are taking trades. Your charts have given me a lot of insight into what you are looking at for trade opportunities. In general, we are often looking at the same things but you tend to enter 10-15 ticks sooner than I do and are often taking profits where I would be just getting in. You also find trades where I don't see anything. Admittedly we are looking at different sized charts so that has a lot to do with it. However, based on the fact that we take similar risk (10-15 ticks per trade) I am probably waiting a little too long to get into some trades. Thanks again for posting your charts. Very helpful.

Ok..last trade of the day...a little 10 tick scalp. Almost made 40 ticks on Cl today.

I think by the time a lot of people get the confirmation they are looking for, a good portion of a move has already happened. I credit my years of screentime watching Cl on the same chart setup for some of my timing.

This video gives a few tips on trading the Cl 10:30 est report.

hey man
quick question.. I've been looking for that momentum/volatility indicator (the one that sounds like a machine gun) for a while couldnt seem to find it anywhere. Could you give me the name of that particular indicator or was that package with something else? thanks man

I have not been watching CL for a number of years. How is the volatility these days compared to when the price is between 110- 95 ?

Was it easier or more difficult to trade intraday when the plunge to $50 happened end of 2014?
