Trades 3/9

Click to Enlarge


The intention was to avoid oil today, but I might as well have been trading oil, as it was totally waltzing TF into its distinctive chops, particularly after it started trading at 9am ET.

On an unrelated note, I'm officially suffering from LW - Solfest - Sandy withdrawal syndrome. 

Soulfire,
I'll miss the pretty blues too! After all, it's my favorite color...after black, white, lilac and pink that is. :-) Activity statements are more transparent. Trade logs don't capture trades that are more than a few days old :-)

SFT,
NAKED charts with minimal trendlines and sans micro-trendlines. :-)

Jules, why you avoid trading CL today?

De'Trader :-)
Oil release - it's not nice to trade before it, and I wasn't planning to take late day trades. So, no oil :-)

Most importantly, De'Trader, it's coz I'm not big on trading with trend pull backs (if CL does trend after release).

Sith-Trader said...

okay, thanks.
I think after oil release there's usually have good trendy move.
