manishji, I agree. In the last two weeks, I found sudden spike during thursday once the data is announced for NG. So tried with +2/-2 sl orders from the current price and sell worked fine. Got 2500 for the day in it. But what you said is absolutely correct. May be the worst manipulated counter among all.
About crude, I find that the volatility is too high in crude. When i tried it i had too many whipsaws. I was using ichimoku with 15/60 min charts with kijunsen cross/kumo breakout as entry. Found that hitting too many sl's with that strategy. I find that base metals respect technicals more than energy counters. Could you please let me know which time frame you are using for trading crude.
