Seems like 3 days per week p.m. session of CL is a 'fade ' market and the other 2 are 'hard trend.'est session is what I am referring to.

Very good (target hit); CL sometimes listen to reason!

The buy in CL is still interesting to me, but this is not normal
price action , cannot really say why I think that either, which troubles me some.
But, my read this morning on a picture-perfect volume bar buy signal that failed says senses were on target, and they are telling me to back off and watch. I will most likely not make goal today, but this is a different game.

I wasn't touching this. Not something I understand. Started to buy for a quick scalp , changed my mind in about 3 seconds, gave back 3 ticks. Net 32 + and happy to have it today.

Interesting day, eh Gary?
You kept it tight in CL for your trading approach and plan.
Indices (TF I assume) are still slow; 'anticipating' but NOT predicting a 2nd day of consolidation to upward
price action in the final 60-75 minutes of the
NYSE .
You are trading some ES & TF, right?
peace
hedvig
range running in the lower left corner of my CL screens, just to watch it constantly to learn how it moves, but still not solid on my settings for that yet, so trade it lightly. My "big" trade today was a short in TF, and I left a lot on the table, but today's price action spooked me some. Still can't say why.handle in CL for some reason, but not in ES. When I watch TF and ES side by side, TF most often holds pivots that ES washes out.
