Started trading crude again after a 3 month break. The price of a barrel of oil is so much more easy to think about than the quarters of points with the ES. Oil is much more thin and whippy than other markets which I enjoy. Very exciting to be back in crude. For now I am trading the micro crude contract. I want to get acclimated to the price movements and risk management before I jump into CL.

Implied fair value estimated from a basket of gasoline, ULSD, and light/heavy/sweet/sour prices. Currently suggests somewhere about $75.

Interesting charts @bob666s but without some explanation and/or background they are a little meaningless

Yeah that makes sense, I'll try to add bits of explanations.
