Crude Oil Visual Trading Update


Current Trading Plan:

Position: LONG
Last (01-03-2010) Closed position @ 79.00 (+$0)
Long: Since 04-03-2010 at 81.00
Short: Below 79.00
Exit by Stop Loss: 80.10

Technical Indicators Notes:

Last time we said: "No big change. If you consider the move in GOLD, this
asset is in sleeping mode, while being in the same asset class: commodity.
(Look in GOLD commentary for more). We have drawn, two small new trend lines
that show a potential for the downside, and therefore we set our SHORT entry
level higher."

Our LONG trigger was caught, and we are now LONG, with some mental
reservations. It looks like a topping process. This is why our SL is quite
close. The Daily Head-and-shoulders pattern is still alive, but it is
becoming tedious. Look how the move from 69 has a clear 5 wave structure.
This is a plus for the LONG, but we will be much more confident, when the
price will exit the trading range (blue light rectangle).

RSI-STOC Combination: Neutral.
ATR: At a level where volatility starts to increase.
MACD: Daily in a positive setup and momentum but H4 indecisive.
