I put a line alert on CL at 76.21, and then I forgot I changed the chart to NG in order to study NG. I saw then that CL broke above 76.21, which to me makes CL more bullish, and that it had run above 76.40 before pulling back. So I bought at 76.28 and gave it around a .15 stop to give it room to breath with a scalping target of 76.38 although I thought there is no resistance at least to 76.40, and my target should easily get hit. Market did pullback below my entry price but did not hit my stop and I did not average in, and then it of course went back up to 76.40. Probably the only mistake I had with trading today was not letting my winner go to target on ES. I got in the trade and ES pullback right away and I got scared and only took .50 once it went back into a profit. The only way I think I can avoid this issue, is either prick a price I want to get into the trade either above or below the current market price rather than going in on market. I been going in market since I don't want to be left behind once I predict what I think the market will do, but I think I will take less heat in the future if I do it better.
Crude is like gold, it has more value based on how strong currency is and what is happening with interest rates and overall world growth. Also, TA is important.
