How do you roll March futures to June futures without incurring roll costs? Or are you able to still hold March futures? If so, how do you do that after the listeds expire?
So you did pay the roll cost? that is like 130 points. So shouldn't your cost basis be 130 points lower? I assumed that a big time hedgefund guy would know that. Maybe your handlers didn't tell you that you rolled down your cost basis during the roll?
CL MAY 2017 47.90 +0.20 http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-shale-insight-idUSKBN16V0IL U.S. shale producers are drilling at the highest rate in 18 months but have left a record number of wells unfinished in the largest oilfield in the country – a sign that output may not rise as swiftly as drilling activity would indicate.
@Gotcha Surf doesn't want psychobabble he says so I will be short and to the point. The only way I have been able to have a chance at the game is to maintain a high win rate. Perhaps others theoretically can but I'd like to see the trades of 5 years of full time trading at a 30% win rate be in the positive net gain enough to make it worthwhile for devoting 5 years of ones life. I, my own case, without a high win rate, I toast. Mr volpri must have figured out a way to enter well so as to have a high win rate....
Yup, just when you think it is in the bag it slips out. Trading is never easy, price never gives in without a fight. At this point in time you are on the money holding short I reckon.
