A naturally found substance, crude oil is also one of the most traded commodities. It is crude oil that is further refined so as to make petroleum products. Just like with every other commodity, crude oil too has its specific ticker symbol, contract value and margin.

The margin is variable as it keeps changing as per the volatility in the market as well as according to the current value of the contract. If you are interested in crude oil trading or are already trading in this commodity, it is important for you to know that over the past 50 years the price of this commodity has been denominated in U.S. Dollars.

Futures Trading Levels, Crude Oil as a Leader of Commodity Prices

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

Crude Oil has been moving the rest of the commodities sector the last few months and has influence on all futures.

Thought I would share a daily chart for review, along with a screen shot of the crude oil set ups I share in my daily live day-trade signals service.

As far as longer term direction for crude, I will need to see which level we can break out first, 104.91 on the upside or 94.54 on the downside. In between, you have wide 410 trading range ( equal to $10,000 per one contract against you or in your favor….)

Futures Trading Levels, Market Consolidation and Crude Oil Inventories

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

Yesterday I wrote:

“If we break todays low of 1310.75, I will favor a move down to 1290. On the other hand if we can hold this level, we may see a bounce to 1326”.

Well…..we had an inside day trading within the range of the previous day, that means market took a bit to consolidate before deciding on the next leg. The Million $$ question is which way…..so far we have been making lower lows and lower highs over the past couple of weeks

Daily chart of Mini SP 500 along with some levels to be aware of, for your review below: Continue reading “Futures Trading Levels, Market Consolidation and Crude Oil Inventories”

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

Volatile action continue in the crude oil market, definitely not a market for traders with weak stomachs or those who don’t have “deep pockets”. High volatility.

Daily chart of May Crude below with possibility of market pulling back to 103.39 if selling resumes overnight – however this being said, the crude market is currently affected mostly by Mideast/Gaddafi news…..

Futures Trading Levels, Crude Oil Performance

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

Below you will see two different tables for Crude Oil since we are now executing the system for more than a few clients, using two different trading engines with two different clearing house. Since the system is only executed “semi Automatically” you will see some differences in the results. This is simply part of REAL LIVE, REAL TIME TRADING versus hypothetical trading. In hypothetical trading and/or back testing, computers assume perfect conditions, getting filled on all limit orders etc.
in REAL LIVE trading, there are times when you limit gets hit but you don’t get filled, there is room for human or machine errors etc.

Group A:

About NZL Crude Oil Day-Trading system:

The computerized trading system, “NZL-Crude Oil Day Trading” is based on a mathematical algorithm that tries to identify exhaustion in either selling or buying along with a possible short term trend reversal. This system trades the Crude Oil future contract only. The system uses volume charts to determine entry and exit ( rather than the more familiar time charts). The algorithm takes into consideration volume, momentum and speed of market in an attempt to recognize situation where “fear and greed” are at extremes. It is followed by measuring possible targets for profits along with stops. This specific system takes the approach that statistically the percent of winning trades is larger than losing trades but in return it uses larger stops than targets.

We recommend $7500 of risk capital per 1 contract traded

Futures and options trading is risky and not suitable for everyone. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, options and off-exchange foreign currency products.
Past performance is not indicative of future results. Continue reading “Futures Trading Levels, Crude Oil Performance”

Futures Trading Levels Feb 28th and Crude Oil Futures Chart

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

Wishing you all a great weekend. Amazing how fast short February went by and Monday will be the last trading day of the month.

I expect the higher volatility we have seen over the last few days to stay with us for a while….so as mentioned before be aware of it, adjust your trading parameters accordingly and stay disciplined!

Below you will see a screen shot from the crude oil futures chart I share intraday. We also execute this crude day-trading system in-house as an “auto traded ” trading system with letter of direction.

The day-trading system is up slightly more than $1,000 NET per contract traded since we launched live trading on Jan. 28th 2011.*
*These are risky markets and only risk capital should be used.

Past performances are not necessarily indicative of future results.
If you are interested in more information, would like to see detailed LIVE results, please send me an email or speak with your broker.
