CLJ2020-CLZ2020 Crude Oil - Breakout on double resistance levelCLJ2020-CLZ2020
Very interesting this spread between the two Crude Oil Futures, in which a lower level was broken where the value was tested several times, and at the same time was broken the next level that was also tested several times in the past months.
We try to take the order with one of the many oscillations that occur on this type of trading and place the mental stop.

Brent Crude Oil Pushing BullishAfter an exhaustive trend downwards from an April high of 75.700, Brent lingers around a solid support level of 70.000
A perfectly timed descending triangle has formed for the Black Gold ahead of a breakout to the 72.450 level, retest 71.700 and daily target push toward 74.500/74.850
This move could prove in line with our USDNOK Trade
Gold's most important long term test is here! Don't ignore it!Gold has been declining since mid February and the 1,346.79 High. If this pull back has been purely technical then the important test on the 1W chart has arrived as the price is on the Higher Low region.
What is more interesting is that last time Gold tested a weekly Higher Low on a similar pattern was in December 2017 and the rebound was so strong that gave way to one of the most aggressive rallies in recent years all the way to 1,366.47.
The waves seem similar, 1,360 - 1,370 is the 1M 5 year Resistance, so there is a strong case for a rebound on the current level. In addition, since the current uptrend (since the August bottom) has been shorter and more aggressive than the previous one (December 2016 - January 2018), this time Gold may deliver the decisive test of breaking towards 1400. This is still vague at the moment. If the current 1W Higher Low breaks though we may be looking towards 1,200 - 1,180 again. But for now I am a strong buyer on Gold.
WTI OIL Buy low. Sell high. Repeat.Pattern: Extended Bullish Megaphone on 1D that is posting a repetitive High Low candle sequence after each Channel Up.
Signal: Bullish but with a lower entry either at 56.00 or 54.50. Long term bullish break-out if the green line breaks (60.00 - 61.00).
Target: 60.50.

Education post 2/100 - How to trade triangle pattern?Symmetrical Triangle
A symmetrical triangle is a chart formation where the slope of the price’s highs and the slope of the price’s lows converge together to a point where it looks like a triangle.
What’s happening during this formation is that the market is making lower highs and higher lows.
This means that neither the buyers nor the sellers are pushing the price far enough to make a clear trend.
If this were a battle between the buyers and sellers, then this would be a draw.
This is also a type of consolidation.
In the chart above, we can see that neither the buyers nor the sellers could push the price in their direction. When this happens we get lower highs and higher lows.
As these two slopes get closer to each other, it means that a breakout is getting near.
We don’t know what direction the breakout will be, but we do know that the market will most likely break out. Eventually, one side of the market will give in.
So how can we take advantage of this?
Simple.
We can place entry orders above the slope of the lower highs and below the slope of the higher lows. Since we already know that the price is going to break out, we can just hitch a ride in whatever direction the market moves.
In this example, if we placed an entry order above the slope of the lower highs, we would’ve been taken along for a nice ride up.
If you had placed another entry order below the slope of the higher lows, then you would cancel it as soon as the first order was hit.
