NYMEX:CLZ2020   Crude Oil Futures (Dec 2020)
10.4.20 I am generally satisfied with the video, but I wasn't clear at the end because I was worried about upload failures for the video. Please read this for a minute so the end of the video will be more clear: oil has traded lower to a support area, but it closed near the low of the daily bar. There will be some traders who think in terms of probabilities... think that the market is likely to move lower because it's a bearish swing that closed near its low>>>and they might be correct. From a risk reward point of view, you can find a relatively close structural stop... and because of this, even knowing that the market may have a slight edge for sellers... you may be willing to take the long trade. On the other hand, even if the market favors the price moving lower, there is no nearby structural stop to manage a short trade... and that may be enough to walk away from the trade. It is for me, personally. Bad R:R filters out lots of trades for me, personally. This is because I have a core belief that I will find better trades, and I don't need to settle for this trade.
