It seems that the hat pattern is quite reliable.
IMHO, the closest to crude oil futures (CL) is gold futures (GC). I may spend some time to see whether GC wears the hat well.

You are right. GC may need a 20-tick stop. Also, GC usually trends better than CL.

Just some crazy ideas. I am from Hong Kong.

Another ugly hat (inverse head and shoulder) pattern that leads to reversal.
