CL is very volatile, though I trade it, but I don't always let the price hit my target before I exit, once I see a strong sign of reversals, I always exits immediately.
Peter10, Me too. I like CL because, when it moves, it moves. And the market opens at 8am which is good for me.

I had another trade based on the 4 hour chart, i did not expect it to close today so that is why i did not mention it earlier, however we have just reached my take profit. The trade lasted a little over 6 hours.
