Yes it was... Looks like today may be better. Overnight volume looks good. Nice move up that started around 1 am my time. Several other smaller moves since then that followed my system.
Oil had an interesting spike that started around 4 am my time. Fast move up. Only took about an hour to move 1.30+ Kind of sideways since then.
6E has been the yo-yo this morning. Draghi speech and near constant mutterings about Brexit make for some wild rides.
No real scheduled news today to move the markets dramatically. However, there is always the chance for a Trump and Dump. Maybe he will have waffles for breakfast instead of pancakes and someone will take that as meaning he is waffling on tariffs or something. LOL!
Although it won't be official until they run the reports at the end of today but step one of the combine is now complete. I needed 159k and hit it with the last trade. Should start step 2 tomorrow.
Ok, all set for step 2. New account all set up and ready to go. Limited to just 3 contracts in the beginning. Scales up quickly. 15 contracts at just 4,500 profit.
Traded 15 contracts some during step 1. Profit/loss moves quickly at 75 bucks a tick. LOL! Had one trade that lasted just over a minute and netted over $2,600. Crazy.
If all goes as planned I should be eligible for a funded account sometime around October 2nd. Planning on attacking this step 2 full on starting Wednesday. With the way the markets are moving right now it should be another great day of trading. Time will tell.
No major news impacting NQ tomorrow. Volume was really good today, let's hope this continues.
Up a bit early this morning. I just woke up and was ready to go so I went.
Looking at the overnight chart, price movement was great during the first 2-3 hours of trading then dropped off to some chop. The overnight range was decent at just under 25 points. It is still early so volumes aren't quite as good as I had hoped. I will get a better idea as we get closer to US open.
89 tick chart (I only look at this early in the morning when volume is low):
200 tick chart:
Right now with the way it is chopping, there is no clarity in direction. So I will just wait..... or go make a good breakfast... or both....
I would like a good trending day today to start off step 2 in the right direction. Not like I did when I started step 1. LOL!
CL hasn't moved much overnight. It almost feels like the markets are just waiting for something. Trade war info? Trump talk? Who knows?
6E looks interesting.Would have been a great entry during London open. Would've, Could've, Should've. LOL!
6E 5 minute chart. Entry point highlighted with blue elipse:
Market completely shrugged off the the latest tariff news so that little edge is now gone. Its either pricing in something we are not even aware of yet or simply a higher timeframe rally back into liquidity. There must still be longer term demand for dollar just look at treasury yields...but that dollar index is showing one heck of a distribution pattern on the daily. Dollar is still bullish but it is difficult to ignore that pattern.
Edit: just noticed you were talking about CL. woops. I was banging on about currencies
Yup. Wednesdays are weird for CL. Still just watching it and not trading CL yet. The markets in general seem to be holding their breath this morning. But it can be that way early in the day. Sometimes trading early can be fun, just not last night. LOL! Glad I slept through most of it.
mmmmm.... a little spoofing going on?? LOL! Talk about an imbalance. Wonder what will happen when price gets there. Magically move or disappear? That's my guess.
Had one trade that lasted just over a minute and netted over $2,600. Crazy.
