Where would you put CL on a liquidity scale?
Is it easy to get in and out quickly?
I can work out good size estimates from various tick bar volumes ranges and times but any experiences most appreciated.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
Nice daily chart setup going into today for oil. Thursday was an Inside Day, NR4, and we had a 3 day triangle formation.
Diverged 15min chart at the London Highs.
Shallow pullbacks on the 5min chart for the move down....kept adding.
Diverged 5min at the lows and the rest played off the 1min for the retrace up last week's POC.

I've been told by a CL trader that price just has to meet your limit order to get filled. Unlike ES or NQ, where
price must exceed your limit order by 1 tick to get filled.
Is this true?
Also, what about the TF (Russell). Does it fill like the CL contract, or like ES or NQ?
As with all instruments, sometimes you will get filled when it meets the price and others it will need to trade through....Yesterday I had a target limit order touched several times before it filled.....and another one that never did.....so just use the rule of thumb that it needs to trade through it to count.....

If you want in and out quickly and easily, hit the buy or sell at market button. Its instant. No guarantees on where you get filled in a fast moving market but you can get in. Same with getting out....just click the close button. Instant.....no worries.
Now if you are trading large size and trying to enter at a single price with a limit order. Thats another issue altogether....but I doubt most on the forum are trading enough size to make a difference in CL. I have a buddy that used to trade at an energy hedge fund and they routinely traded hundreds of lots at a time.....but they didn't care about exact prices....and they entered in batches......

I apologize if I'm intruding in the thread, be patient please, I am a colleague of trade and I have a question for you ... why do you trade the CL? which differences has CL with the ES and 6E? I hope you have a minute to answer, as I am very curious to understand your choice of instrument.
take care
