the answer is luck. I exit because it is near last night high, or resistance. plus, the data will be here 10:30am.
So you looking for a big drop on Crude Inventories?..........someone knows how much of a drop in inventories we expecting?
Im just going by technicals on the day so far. One thing is when it pops (if) it need to take out overnight high. If not then it will go lower
I do not bet on the data. since I do not know it. but I do bet on the emotions of participants about the data, they are written on the tape.
Must be the gambler in me. The markets been bullish so that is the reason. I traded in and out after the number so I will stop out below lod and be even on the day.
