    Today's oil futures market

    It gapped up 78.5

    Then it went down massively to 75.5
    ie $3 drop (equivalent to $3000 / lot).
    How low will it go?


    ie similar pattern as what happened on

  2. Iran ain’t gonna block shit. They know they have been left hanging in the wind. Best they can do is lob rockets to Israel.

    I will be selling short SPY Puts this week.

    You get a "like" just for having been around this place since 2007.
    Plus... I agree.

    Congrats to those who profited massively.

    Condolence to those who lost massively.

    gapped up to 67.8

    then down to 65.1 ie $2.7 (equivalent to $2700 / lot in just 3 minutes).

    How low will it go?


    So don't need to trade with 10 or 100 lots.
    Oil movement could be jerky/messy. Avoid those landmines.
