I have been guided by some people I consider as genuine experts in the markets to test any intsrument you would want to trade for a minimum of 6 to 12 months on atleast 3 different time frames to gain a better understanding of different market conditions - range bound to trending. These also would account for any freak incidents like brexit/ Trump election or other major events etc etc.

For crude oil, remember to also account for inventory day. It would be best to sit on the sidelines for 1 hour until the inventory data is factored in to minimize your chances of whiplashes.

From my personal observations, 30 minutes is too small a timeframe for an instrument such as crude oil because it is traded for more than 12 hours in a day. I would consider the 1 hour time frame for intraday trading and 4 hours TF for swing trading.

Crude is an intraday buy as of now at around 9.30 am until the formation of an opposite entry.

crude oil is at $56/3917 , it can fall to 55.60 but I think there could be a bounce may be till 4000 or whatever , only then fresh short positions should be created. Risk reward is not good for short now . what say ?

According to my understanding now momentem is negative and you can initiate fresh short below LOD(3910).

It has been very much a short. After 2.30 pm yesterday one saw a big vertical drop indeed.

Sirjee I am also still at a beginner level :D Have lost a lot in the markets since May, 2015 when I first started to trade. I am yet to finish a year in green :) Hope I can start to do that and make profits!
