Monkey King's Oily Tales (Day Trading Crude Oil)

[Monkey King]

Long at 3977 for a scalp, out at 3979. Same 15 mini.

May shut terminal now unless clear chance. Day target acheived.

waiting for entry - should be getting a signal in the next 30 min or so

rewarded myself by depositing 5000 to my trading account for trading well and meeting targets thus far
day starts today @ some 48718. next reward will be @ end of month now if things go well

edit - lunch time and crude has yet to take my order, wake up crude, lol

What a sideways market so far. Aside from 9 points booked so far today, there has been no intraday signal generated yet! Test of patience today

true, i have been on the verge of shutting terminal for fear of forcing a trade - lol, but then i may have forced one despite the intent . my sl is at an area of value and i will not micro manage it, if it triggers, my trade entry reason will be invalidated. time for me to stop staring shamelessly at the charts,

out @ 4038, just 2 points. taking a break. will trade after lunch. was in with 20 lots so did not chance it. peanuts in pockets as usual but then monkeys do love peanuts,

Just went short on zinc mini, 192.35. intend hold untill evening if sl not triggered.

Edit - sl 5 p above last candle high on 15 min tf, if it breaks below 50 then trailing sl will be just above 20 ema on 15 min tf, time to do nothing now.

Sl triggered at 192.2. was in 6 lots. Close to day target and now will not risk much. May reduce lots for fresh trades, if any.

Crude mini long 5 lots @ 4061, intend hold untill inventory unless sl trigger earlier.

Sl triggered @ 4054, lol.

 

[Monkey King]

Long zinc mini @193.0 just now @,630 pm

Edit - reason for entry was the near third test of ema 50 on 1 hr and it looked to break through this time. Will know in the next hourly candle if it was a trap I got caught in, lol.

Edit - this is how it looks now

Edit - a new candle open on 1 hour below 20 ema or a running candle breaking below 192 invalidates my trade and is my exit signal.

Edit - scaled out of 4 lots, loss realised some 1100 so far, got last 2 lots left in holding.

Edit - booked 1500 loss in this trade, volume decreasing so decided to get out. Day loss reached so not allowed any trades for the day. Tempted to try crude one last time though but I may not. Better safe than sorry, lol.
