WTI broke above its range on the 4H chart and is sustaining. Going long with a stop below $61.90. Target based on daily chart being nearly $66.50. Trade offering good risk-reward. 4H chart: {image} Daily Chart: {image}
Got stopped out here, but now it looks a drop towards $58 is underway.

WTI went up 57¢ today with a lower than average ATR that produced one losing trades and 6 winning trades. This was an odd day since for an unknown reason the Half Trend missed producing a signal as indicated by the vertical line.

Some risk-on sentiment suddenly coming into the market pushing crude prices higher. Some volume coming into the futures market with this rally (CME CL):

Since the CME is more representative than any broker's CFDs it looks like that the big boys are pushing the price up.

WTI went up 40¢ today with a low ATR that produced 3 break even trades and 5 winning trades. Please note that the last arrow is probably a repainter because the FxBay MACD is above the zero line.

WTI went down 8¢ today with an average ATR that produced 5 winning trades. The last arrow signal will probably produce a continuation short trade at the beginning of the next session.

WTI went up $1.06 today with a lower than average ATR that produced only winning trades - 3 lousy ones and 1 decent one (4th arrow).
I was wrong yesterday's last signal did not continue short. Yesterday's trades with WTI losing 8¢ were much better than today's trades.

Crude moving higher on that big draw in Distillates. Gas and Crude inventory were almost in line. Not significant deviations.

{quote} Hi Hutch, Are you trading exactly as you mentioned in the post? or just posting for the learning purpose?
I trade this strategy but never before the London open and never 3 hours before the New York close. Before the London open spreads are usually higher and the market moves slower. I never trade 3 hours prior to the New York close because opening trades at that time is more risky since many traders will close their trades during this period and best is to minimize risk. I also never keep trades open overnight.

To better answer your question pictures always show the best entries and exits, but, as you know, this isn't always the case. For example, the third arrow on yesterday's chart indicates a break even trade but only if the trade was opened exactly at the beginning of next brick after the second arrow (down) at $63.000 and closed exactly at the beginning of next brick after the third arrow (up) at $63.000. It's likely that this trade didn't result in breaking even but losing 2-5 pips depending on the entry and exit price. On losing trades expect to lose 10-15 pips. Losing and break even trades are inconsequent because there are a lot more winning trades than losing and break even trades combined and you can expect a lot more pips on these winning trades. Yesterday's third arrow buy signal to the fourth arrow close and sell signal generated 12 bricks or 120 pips. In any case I don't know a better strategy to trade the market on a short-term basis. The only tricky part is to choose the best brick size. I hope this helps.

WTI went up $1.22 today with a higher than average ATR that produced 2 winning trades not counting the last signal that came quite late in the session. Please note that the best trade would have been the continuation trade from yesterday that would have produced 150 ticks (15 bricks) which is exceptional. It looks like that WTI is on a tear going up $2.92 in the last 3 days.

As long as this occurs at a decent pace we should all make good money.

WTI went down $1.40 today with an average ATR that produced 4 winning trades and 1 break even trade. However, the continuation trade from yesterday's last signal would have produced a nice short trade with a profit of 15 bricks (150 ticks).

In the energy sector it's probably the best. There's a lot of volatility and volume so the simple answer is yes. Along with that volatility comes considerable risk. Good luck!

Hello WTI traders. Can I check with you guys if WTI is a good instrument for day-trading? Thank you.
There are many traders here that trade WTI because, like me, they think it's a good instrument to trade. I trade short-term but some traders prefer to trade long-term. It's a matter of choice. There are three main advantages of trading WTI:

1. It normally trends better than currency pairs;

2. The daily trading range (ATR) is high (currently 175 pips) compared to the most popular currency pair EURUSD (currently 63 pips) and the higher the ATR the more trade you can squeeze in every day. This also means that you have more chances to recover from a lost trade the same day.

3. The cost of trading WTI is low, at least with my broker. For example the cost of trading, as represented by the margin for 10 lots of WTI (pip value of $1 x 10) is lower than trading 1 lot of EURUSD (pip value of $10 x 1).

This is only my opinion but I hope that other traders will also give their opinion regarding why they like to trade WTI.

I'd probably add that WTI isn't session specific. There's volatility almost 24 hours a day. You might see more volatility in the London/European sessions, and more so the US session. But it's always susceptible to volatility. As a day trader, that's what you want.
