You are welcome. The most effective of way of risk control/money management is position size, I also tried to follow other pinciples. First, only long in an up-trend market, only short in a down-trend, ie, no conter-trend trading. Some times I did ...

Hi, Ramadas. I also take partial positions before I go to bed (after London close) and ride on the rest of position for overnight. Your M.O. is similiar to mine. But I usually don't make a specified T/P target for intraday trading. It depends. I ...

Add one position @33.367, stop loss @33.19 or 33.12, I will see. this price is higher than 1 position I closed @33.31. This is intraday trading problem. You tried buy low and close higher, even no conter-trend trading, even after a retracement, the ...

The market is still bullish, although not strong bull. The price made new high yesterday compared to the previous day. No sign of top or turn around, so, I should keep on and insist bullish bias. No counter trend trading, no guess of top, no guess ...

Yesterday, WTI was a huge yoyo after EIA report. The news is bearish, 10million inventory increase far more than 2.5m estimate. The price did drop, but 15 min later a huge up! Lessons: Just as "reminiscenses" described, all depends on market whether ...

Looking at 1h and 4h charts, it is bullish, although it is not a strong bull. But with such a bearish news of 10million increase, the price went up after 15 minute drop. The bull is powerful, no matter what you think. The market is always right. I ...

15 Min. Chart. A resistance line is above, if broken out, I shall add one more position. Right? I won't because I have enough positions, and 10:30 AM(New York time) will be EIA report release, that is Non-Farm for oil.

Thank you Dan for your kind words. The chart is WTI 1 hour candles, it seems the two trendlines worked. Is my drawing correct? The platform is OANDA, the instrument is WTI CFD.

Time to trade. WTI is bullish without doubt. Two points should be noticed. Fisrt, the up trend is not strong due to indecision of OPEC and Non-OPEC production freeze. Secondly, overnight API report is very bearigh, several million barrels of ...

One WTI position closed @32.48 (using a stop loss, it's like trailing), the profit almost covered the losses of G/U trades. I think G/U is still bearish. As I said, let it go and concentrate on WTI only, so I didn't do anything with G/U. I trade ...
