Crude Oil Trading Part 2 ... Nice Opportunity for Full Profit Target in Afternoon

http://KnightCapitalManagement.com

According to rules you could have taken this trade and earned $540 per every contract traded today.

So with a 10 lot this means $5,400 plus the other $2500 from earlier today makes for a very nice day trading Crude Oil ...

Are there better times to trade it than others? Obviously, I think so ...

My 2 Cents ...

Good Trading,

Crude Oil Trading on Thursday June 3rd after the Inventory Report


http://KnightCapitalManagement.com

Here is a great example of patience paying off in your trading. There were a lot of false signals prior to the release of the Crude Oil Inventory Report ... then a slam dunk long trade!

Our traders were able to pull out $250 per every contract traded today ... do the math ... if you are trading a 10 lot then this is a $2,500 trade.

This is a sample of one of the charts that we are using for our new TCB - Taking Care of Business trading strategy for the Crude Oil Market.

Nice Crude Oil Spike Reversal Signal Today



http://KnightCapitalManagement.com

Where the Spike Reversal Bar (SR) crossed over our 50 Bar MA and closed above this was a good long trade today.

You will not see this pattern very often, but it is a very good setup when it does happen. Please not that you had enough room for profit to make you 2 to 1 profit target on this trade to the 200 Bar MA line.

Crude Oil Retracement Trade Breakout Long

Click on chart for a larger picture.

http://KnightCapitalManagement.com

Nice breakout of a temporary trading range. The Crude Oil Market has been beaten up from Monday until today. Finally, the market showed a bottom that formed. Notice the two Spike Reversal bars that confirmed a long entry above the respective trend lines.

Overall a nice quick breakout of a trading range on a retracement trade. Take a look at the 60 minute chart with the high at May 5th to the bottom formed after the 10:30AM release of the Crude Oil Inventory Report.

A very nice technical setup today! Entry point was off a 5 Min Chart.

March to $2 Million plus Crude Oil Rollercoaster Today

http://KnightCapitalManagement.com

Hello Traders!

Starting in April, we are switching gears to take multiple markets into our trading strategy allowing us some more High Probability Trades (HPTs). We are starting our account balance around $3K, and see where we will finish by the end of December's trading.

Markets that we will Trade:
1. ZB - 30 Year Treasury Bond
2. G6E - Euro Currency
3. ES - eMini S&P
4. YM - eMini Dow
5. GC - Gold
6. CL - Crude Oil

In addition we will introduce other markets as time goes on, specifically:

7. ZC - Corn
8. ZS - Soybeans

Other markets will be introduced as a total trading plan.

Since today is the last day of March, then we will see where our account stands this time next year on March 31st, or a year from today! I am excited to see where this account will stand in a year's time, and I look forward to working with you, and helping you to achieve your goals.

On a sidenote, month end rules applied today ... what a rollercoaster ride most markets were during our morning trading session ... look at Crude Oil for some proof of how hard it can be to make money at month end, and also in this case coupled with a quarter end.

Be safe!!

Good Trading,

Bonds back in Favor? Perhaps ... plus trading observations ...

http://KnightCapitalManagement.com

This trade went down 10 ticks to initial target, then on down to support line in front of the consumer confidence report. Then the market marched its way right back to the resistance line today.

Are the bonds back in favor? Perhaps ... time will tell, but this market seems to be showing some signs of life recently.

So what is the March to $2 Million? This is my attempt to show a full trading strategy and grow my account in the process. I will talk more about it on tomorrow's blog post, but I want to introduce this concept today to you.

We are taking a $3,000 account and utilizing our conservative rules, while still remaining aggressive on the markets that we can trade. Our goal is to eventually get to trading not only multiple markets, but multiple contracts.

During this week, I have watched several new and existing members leave the trading room, because they do not understand the approach of how I can trade multiple markets.

For example, one individual went on to say that he only trades the eMini S&P or the ES market, such a shame to place yourself in the all eggs in one basket kind of trading that presents itself.

Why does a one market person search for others to help them trade? Here is my 2 cents on the subject, because it doesn't work. Why? Because they fall into the trap of taking on unnecessary trading risk by overthinking the entry and not taking A+ setups!

It is amazing to me that people pay $9.70 for 14 days, and cancel after the 1st day in the trading room. How can you judge a trading method in that time frame? Seriously, 14 days isn't enough either, but people are so impatient hunting for the HOLY GRAIL, that they can't see it because of the PLANK in their own EYE.

This goes back to the question of why do most traders fail? The answer is really a simple one, because most of them jump from one method to the next never giving enough time and research to determine if it really works or not.

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean that it doesn't work. Perhaps, spending more time in research and less time in searching for the Holy Grail is the true answer to trading success.

I have built my account on utilizing multiple markets in my trading. I invite you to join me to understand how to do this as well, but if you are one of those tire kickers, then perhaps you should spend your money on something you enjoy doing besides trading. This way you at least have something to show for your time!

Good Trading,

Health Care Passes: Crude Oil Trading Today!

Here is a great example of trading crude oil to the UADR today with enough room to take profit along the way. Now, if you were trading a series of 3 contracts today, your first exit was at $80.07 for a total of $800 or $400 on each contract.

The last contract hit its profit objective at 80.77 for a profit of $1,100 per contract.

Todays' 3 contract total earned $1,900.00 for every 3 contracts traded.

9 Contracts by the way could have earned ... $5,700.00.
