Following Thursday’s moderate retracement, the sky has been the limit for October WTI crude oil futures. Since the traditional New York pit open at 9:00 AM EST, prices have risen more than $.50.
The Trade
Counter-trend scalps beneath $70.00 are likely to produce positive price action. Sells from $69.92 with an initial stop at $70.01 produce 5-8 quick ticks.
This is a counter-trend play, so the risk profile is a bit greater than usual. The goal of the scalp is immediate and positive price action. Be sure to have the stop loss in the queue at $70.01 before the trade is taken.
