Update on Oil shorts

Short
Summerset Updated   
TVC:USOIL   CFDs on WTI Crude Oil
Leg - A of a correction appears finished. -ve Momentum on 15 min frame is not sufficient to warrant an extension in this correction.
I therefore expect to see a Leg-B to the $41.60 region, followed by an extended grand "C" in A-B-C formation to my desired targets <$36-$34>
OR possible still to see a muted "C" after the coming "B" into the $41.60, then an "X" and finally a grand "C".
I will not use the <$41.60-$41.00> to assimilate any more risk, as it is my intent as a position trader to hold and protect a reasonable size to <$36-$34>. Nor will I add more shorts, as the position's holdings have accumulated enough risk as they stand.

It is possible however, for fresh shorts to begin an accumulation phase <$41.20-$41.60> for half or 1/3 of a contract, keeping in mind that there is still NO 60 min bear motive momentum to support a bear drive, so they would have to hold their shorts between <36-48>hrs for the short position to accelerate.

The position has reached risk @ $40.50 = -30% for 1.3 contract size on a $10,000 account. So I will work to assimilate 1/3 of the risk.

Place Tp for short holdings $39.60-$39.70-$39.80 @ $39.20
Place Tp for 1 x 10k short acquired at $37.826 also at $39.20

$39.20 is y'day's low, and the lower 1HR BB.

If filled contract size gets reduced to 0.9 at 37.826 average.
Risk @ $40 becomes -$1962 = ~20% on 10,000 account

Targets for 0.9 contract remains the same @ $32.50

Take Care & Stay Safe.
