CL Redux

just did it again!

went long at 34, stopped at 31

went back long at 34, out at 44

 

went short 49, stop 51, tried to exit at 39, market didn't take it, out at 40

This is fun!!!

 

i think my fear is slippage related

 

just now: tried to sell at 49, no fill, tried to buy at 40, no fill

 

that thing looks scary

 

got a fill today...+ BOT 3 CL - (1) MAR14 + (2) APR14 - (1) MAY14 Combo 0.11 USD NYMEX 14:29:00 27.84 null Futures null

 

yeah, what is it?

 

i did 3 more trades with 2/3 pip stop, had 2 wins of 10 pips and 1 loss of 2 pips

 

That's Kylie from Fantastic Mr. Fox, one of my favorite movies ever. That's the look Kylie gets when Mr. Fox is explaining his plans. He just loses connection and zones out. Yesterday's price action made me look just like that, LOL!

I think the entire time I've traded CL I only used 2-3 pip stops maybe 3 or 4 times. It always feels totally impossible
