Crude Oil Trading Strategy; Sideways Personality ahead of Bernanke and Inventory News


Click here to read our Crude Oil Prep Blog

Crude Oil Weekly:
Crude Oil Weekly
Weekly anchor chart shows us trading at the lows of the week, with a large wick at the top of this week’s candle and a very small, red body.  This is a clear sign of collapsing prices at these highs of the price-wedge and the 97.14 sell-zone.  With a holiday weekend coming around the corner, what will the buyers do next?



Crude Oil Daily:
Crude Oil Daily
Daily anchor chart shows us much of the same as the weekly, but we get more details with trigger-zones starting at 94.85 below us this morning.  We can see the price falling off the highs, however, keep in mind that we have NOT closed a daily candle below Monday’s candle which made the new swing-high.  Sellers will be looking for a candle to close this evening below the 95.46 to signal selling opportunities off the highs.  If the candle today closes above this level we then will have the window still open for buyers to climb back in and try to re-test the highs going into Memorial Day Weekend in the US.

Crude Oil 4-Hour:
Crude Oil 240-Minute
The 240-Minute chart shows us this dramatic price-wedge structure as prices fall off the highs and approach the 95.23 buy-zone below us.  As prices move lower we look for a price-reversal and buying opportunity at the 95.23, 95.02, lows of the price-wedge, 94.04 and 93.46.  Remember, professional traders never predict, we always react, so we will look for a price-reversal first and then we will buy a pullback on the way higher off the lower.  If price rises higher this morning we have a trigger-zone resistance starting at 96.58 and 96.34 before we test the sell-zone above us at 96.89.  Once again, if prices rise to these sell zones we will stay patient and wait for a price-reversal off the highs and look to sell retracements on the way back down.  This price-wedge also reminds us that today will likely see some more 2-sided trading, so beware trading in the MIDDLE of this range around the big-round-number of 96.00.

Crude Oil 60-Minute:
Crude Oil 60-Minute
The hourly anchor chart shows us a BIG clue this morning as prices collapse after testing the price-channel reversal zone at 96.72.  If we had ANY reservations about how effective our advanced price-structures are let this be another great example of how we can use simple price structures, combined with Fibonacci and produce remarkable results.  We have a buy-zone below us at 95.23 and we will be looking for a price-reversal, followed by a buying opportunity around this demand zone.  If prices keep moving lower we will look for the same buying opportunity at the 94.80 buy-zone as well.  If prices rise higher this morning we are looking for a test of 95.97 but that will not be considered a sell-zone, so wait patiently for price to test the 95.56 for the high percentage selling opportunities in today’s session.  We will look to buy the 95.23 firs today.

Crude Oil Day trading plan for today:
Crude Oil VIP Chart
This morning we have Ben Bernanke on the stand to speak about the conditions of the economy and we KNOW that many traders will be listening for hidden clues in what he DOES NOT say this morning.  We have Crude Oil Inventories this morning at 1030am EST which means we need to expect 2-sided trading until we get through this news this morning.  We have had NO market personality this week so far so this morning is going to have some surprises we have a feeling, so we will be ready to sell highs at resistance and buy lows at support using the 2-sided market personality as our biggest clue.

This morning we are trading important news from Ben Bernanke and Crude Oil Inventories.  We haven’t seem a lot of news this week, so this morning will be a much-anticipated market-personality after we get this news released starting at 10:00am EST. Click here to read today’s COMPLETE Morning Prep

Ben Bernanke is supposed to testify this morning, and EVERYONE is expecting him to talk about stimulus.  We’re expecting to hear him make comments such as ‘tapering off’ of the stimulus with equities making new high-highs and gold falling off all-time highs.  What will Big-Ben say this morning and will it give the buyers the confidence they need to keep buying?

Simple Day trading strategy earns profit on any futures market



Professional day traders all have one thing in common; they trade a simple day trading strategy that has proper risk-management, simple entry and exit rules, and a proven track record.  In today’s video I want to review the day trading strategy we used this morning in our Live Trade Room to earn some incredible profit with our members.  Remember to join our 1-week trial membership so you can test-drive our day trading strategy and see if it’s something you can make profit with as well.

The most important aspect to a day trading strategy is proper risk-management, simple entry and exit rules, and a proven track record.

Euro Day Trading Strategy
We used a price channel set-up this morning to trade short on the Euro currency futures market.  A bearish price channel tells us that selling at the highs, or resistance above the highs will be the high-percentage-trade.  We also look for buying opportunities around the lows of a bullish price channel.  For this bearish price channel we used our Advanced Price-Structures to determine that the price channel itself was VERY high percentage.  When the Fibonacci ratios line up on the price channel we know right away that this is a trade we want to take.

Crude Oil Day Trading Strategy 2
We traded using a price-reversal set-up this morning on Crude Oil futures after seeing price test the lows of a time-specific trading range we had located BEFORE we took our first trade.  We had opportunities to buy the lows of this range 2 times before it finally broke to new lower-lows.  Once price-action moved lower on Crude Oil we had a specific buy-zone waiting for us below, which made for another easy price-reversal set-up and another winning trade today.

The Mini Russell was one of the easiest trades we took this morning, and we love trading the Mini Russell because it provides us with many high-percentage-trades every session in the Live Trade Room and is one of our favorite e-mini markets.  This morning the Mini Russell tested the highs of our time-specific trading range, and when we saw the price-reversal on our range charts we knew exactly what to do.  We looked for the ‘M’ pattern at the highs of the range, and used a stop-limit order to enter short, and a profit-target all the way at the lows of the trading range.  This was a great example of some of the easiest trading opportunities we see every day.
