not sure if we will get em, but my spreadsheet that I trade oil (on a long time from with), is telling me to start averaging into CL at the low 90s..... what you guys reckon? Gold, its telling me high 600s
The low 90's is fine if and when we get there. What does your spreadsheet tell you to do right now, at-the-market?
Above 116.90 in the September contract will tell me that the correction is over. IEA report out tomorrow. Option Expiration Thurs.
Landis, I have option expiry as Friday. Or I can correct you in your own style, "You are a complete and total idiot!! That is why you fail like every other retard on this board. The information is available for everyone who isn't too lazy to look it up!"
spreadsheet is super simple its just measuring how far we are from a moving average basically trading extremes, sell when it gets too far above, buy when its too far below right now we are still above the moving averages oil will be well below the moving averages ifs around 90 within about 30 to 75 days time...... so that would be a buy, anything under 90 would be a more safe buy of course of course there is no guarantee we ever see those low prices
If oil were to get to $90/barrel tomorrow, would the spreadsheet then say wait until oil gets to $70/barrel before buying?
What moving average do you use in your calculation? Personally, I use the 200 day moving average. I calculate the number of standard deviations a particular index/commodity is trading above or below its 200 day moving average. Of particular interest right now is the XAU which is trading nearly 4 standard deviations below its 200 DMA. If I understand your strategy correctly, you are looking for extremes at which the particular instrument is significantly above or below its moving average. And then reversion to the mean will cause the price to revert downward if it is significantly above its moving average or the price to revert upward if it is significantly below its moving average. It works in most cases but can have problems in a strongly trending market.
