it may be that the one viable trading strategy for USO is simply trading the almost horizontal price channel, since crude oil appears to be rangebound between approx. $56 and 62, until the range is broken on a sustained basis...I am unable to trade it differently until proven otherwise. My two cents for now...the volatility is profitable.

Hi hiker,

...the volatility is profitable.


Yup, I should have taken profits last week. I set tight stops on 1/2 USO position at $52.5 (and was taken out this am) and will ride the rest for the remainder of the week.

cheers,

john

I'm out of this position entirely now for a loss. I guess I gotta watch hiker trade this thing before entering again. :) cheers, john
