Look at FRIDAY from 600 a.m. EST to 7 30 a.m. EST, on 1 minute chart. What do you see? Yes, that would have been a 1.08 tick move down or a $1,080.00 profit if you would have sold one CL contract until the bottom. In 1.5 hours of time, that is not bad money.

ABOUT NYMEX CRUDE OIL FUTURES
The New York Mercantile Exchange's light, sweet crude oil futures contract is the world's most actively traded futures contract on a physical commodity. Because of its excellent liquidity and price transparency, the contract is used as a principal international pricing benchmark. The NYMEX also offers trading in heating oil futures and gasoline futures.
Crude oil futures and options provide individual investors with an easy and convenient way to participate in the world's most important commodity market. In addition, a broad cross-section of companies in the energy industry - from those involved in exploration and production to refiners - can use crude oil futures and options contracts to hedge their price risk. Light, sweet crude is preferred by refiners because of its low sulfur content and relatively high yields of gasoline, diesel fuel, heating oil, and jet fuel. Even companies that are substantial consumers of energy products can use crude oil futures to protect against adverse price fluctuations.
You can trade more than just NYMEX crude oil futures online. We also offer E-mini crude oil futures, which are just 50% of the size of a standard futures contract. E-mini crude futures trade exclusively on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's Globex platform nearly 24 hours per day.
