Oil Volatility - Trading the Channel
Oil is moving higher in a $10-20 channel for the past 3 months.
The respect of the downside trendline support in the past few weeks has led to a reliable rally if we hold lows.
The similar situation on the topside with multiple rallies above 110 failing in recent weeks. The current strategy is to follow Oil from downside to topside support and resistance and vice versa.
Once a big support or resistance holds the turnaround has been clean and once Oil starts to move its becomes fairly aggressive in that new direction.
This means use a stop and more importantly TP on every trade as the reversals are so sharp you can not manually exit at the right level.
