22 Apr Trading Plan Crude Oil 04222020
These are my hypotheticals for today’s crude oil session. Basically the levels that I will be looking at where it has a higher probabilistic chance the market will start reacting. Then I come up with ways I think the market will react around those levels. During the session I then wait for the market to hit those levels and either confirm or reject my hypothesis. I hope that makes sense. If not, please get in touch with me. I am not selling you anything. I just love to talk to people that are on the same path as me. So don’t be shy and reach out.
Observations of the market
Click here for my recent weekly trading plan
- M: Big drop. Still have more than a week to go to close off the candle to give insight.
- W: Still 3 days left in the candle before close. We made a fast second-leg move we have made previously indicating a potential exhaustion. Although the markets can go against you longer than you can stay solvent so only trade based on your trading rules.
- D: Showing a nice imbalance but extended away from VWAP very fast indicating a possible return. No Demand ZOI has been created yet so will need to wait for confirmation of that first before even considering a longer-term long position.
- H4: Big Demand ZOI 8.10 — 14.10. Last leg of the move has a more than 50% retracement so there is more buying going on.
- M30: Price rejected VWAP and KC imbalance still very much in play.
- MP: Previous profile was a trend day. During the Asian session we rejected yesterday’s VAL and consequently the range as well confirming the imbalance for the moment in the market.
