WTI went up $1.47 today with a below average ATR that produced 6 winning trades, 1 break even trade and 1 losing trade due to a false signal.

WTI went up $3.84 today with an extremely high ATR that produced 3 winning trades and 1 break even trade. At least the market wasn't as volatile as the last 2 days so there wasn't a need to break the chart in two parts. {image}
Hi Hutch, just to understand are you showing the trades you made or simply the signals backward looking?

Crude futures trading in a very narrow range today. Low volume too. It almost feels like a holiday:

its coiling (accumulation), if it breaks out later today it should give a nice move.

The signals are in accordance with the Half Trend so they are what they are and I show them all although I don't trade all day. It's quite frustrating when I traded a few small signals and being satisfied with the result I close my MT4 to do something else. Then, when I re-open MT4 sometimes many hours later I see that I missed the best trade of the day. I'm sure it happens a lot since nobody can trade 24 hours a day.

WTI went up 46¢ today with an extremely low ATR that basically produced nothing but 2 lousy winning trades. It looks like market movers went all on vacations since on 20 July the ATR was a huge 588 and today only a minuscule 79.

We are seeing some pretty light volume in CME futures. Ever since hitting that $65 handle, oil prices have been doing nothing but rebounding:

It was treading water Friday but it's acting like it wants to continue this recent rally. A break of last week's high looks extremely likely.

Makes sense since we've had a lot of sideways action. Wednesday is a big day with EIA data then FOMC. I don't think the FOMC meeting will provide as much volatility as more recent ones because the Fed isn't changing its tune at least until Jackson Hole in August.

Right now, the fundamental drivers of oil prices are OPEC (which is now free of drama so maybe not so much) and the delta variant. While the delta variant isn't killing people because of vaccinations, it's still putting people out of work for weeks. That puts a big strain on any economy with an outbreak. Also, the fear factor is something to look out for too. If the market starts thinking people are going to stop traveling then that can't be good either. Still a lot to unfold with this recovery from lockdowns.

WTI went down 3¢ today with a lower than average ATR that produced 9 winning trades and 2 break even trades excluding the last signal.
I don't know any other asset that can produce 9 winning trades within a price action of 3¢. If you know of such assets please let us know.

I can't remember the last time oil prices stayed in this tight of a range for three consecutive trading days. It's almost as if traders are waiting for FOMC, but I don't think that's the case at all. FOMC doesn't rock oil prices like it does currencies and gold.

my 4hr ma setup do appear bearish. looks like some selling was done at the end of the previous session. shorting ops coming imo.

Crude futures (CME CL) has been trading in a very tight range since last Friday. Energy markets usually don't behave like currency and precious metals leading up to an FOMC meeting. It's making me wonder whether oil prices are just treading water or traders are actually waiting to hear what the Fed has to say. I don't think that's the case but I'd be cautious regardless. FOMC in a little under three hours.

You can see here on an hourly chart it's been in this range accompanied by relatively light volume.
