Disliked{quote} Has anyone traded WTI or Nat gas during an inventory release? I'd like to take a position on Wed or Thur based on where I think the numbers will come in but don't know what typical slippage is in this scenario. I know the risk is there but considering whether the reward is worth it...Ignored
I have observed their behavior. Usually there's a significant movement after the release although, it tends to "bite back" and retrace quickly as greedy investors take their quick profits. Once it reverses, the market loses control and the inverse effect happens e.g. good oil news: oil plummets, bad oil news: oil surges. Either way it's chaos. Sometimes it just whipsaws for about 30 minutes... you try to enter one way, you get stopped, take the other way, get stopped again. As for slippage I don't have or barely have any. This news is too unstable.
