I’m always ready for a thought exercise. What is the lesson here? Normally I’d buy the fundamental economics and sell the political noise. Maybe this says follow both in shorter duration.

How do you evaluate the inventories? Do you use a template and update it regularly? Or do you have more of a free form reading and/or write up to wrap your head around the levels?

Isn't this a recipe for death by 1,000 cuts? How do we avoid paying spread or commission over and over. I suppose if the system is good enough it will more than make up for such costs as long as we are not churning trades unnecessarily. Is there a ...

Glad I sat out the release today, was not worth the small price action...

Private Island Traders

Thanks. Based on the forecast and price action today I think oil will fall on the inventory release. I’m not getting in the market this time though, haven’t done much due diligence and all the happenings in the Middle East create upward pressure in ...

We certainly saw the seasonality effect in September. October has been odd though.

I actually experienced something very close to this last time I traded inventories. I ended up closing my trade almost net flat but losing on execution costs. Maybe I will sit this one out until I can perfect my attack plan. Personal things set me ...

Yes you are right, this is making it hard to trade with confidence. In recent years I have seen winters come in generally warmer but then a vortex blizzard slams into the NE US and prices pop for a bit. If inventory levels are so high though I'm not ...

Also, I hope I don't offend or come off as lazy. I see you have a great track record and am willing to collaborate but don't know where to start.

WTI Crude Oil (TRENDSURFING - with the help of the model)

Hi Auricforecas, I'd like to take your trading system for a test drive but I am not sure how to follow it. Violet line? How do I get this indicator and what does it represent? It looks like these are the guiding lights to placing trades but I am not ...

Yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year (for NatGas traders especially)

If I am looking strictly at levels the upside seems to have more in play next week. Downside would be where the big money is though.

Who here trades API or EIA inventories? I'm going to trade some data next week and you here are the most intelligible online personalities I know. Also I'm not sure who trades NFP but has anyone noticed this pattern lately: Markets drift towards ...

Do you think we are seeing a trend reversal or just consolidation/retracement? Personally I find it hard to believe the rally is over.

Trading in the PIT (Private Island Trading). Love it. I took the day off today but will be joining in on the fun if you’ll have me. Gold worries me but oil looks like there could be downside opportunity.

Private Island Traders

I wouldn’t be surprised if news break over the weekend that sends oil higher. There has been a penchant for that lately. If I could open a long oil trade right now I would, instead I’ll have to take a peak after the open hits and see how things look.

I enjoy playing the piano. I run up and down the scales like 5 second candles. Generally very relaxing too. Otherwise I rest my eyes. Keep off the LED screens.

That seems risky. I prefer to trade an instrument that has to revert to the mean, like oil. Or at least follow the trend, but gold has been trending up.
