How to Day Trade the 1 Minute Oil Chart Using the 200 MA for Support and Symmetry for Resistance.

A Simple Step by Step Intra Day Trading Guide from our Oil Trading Room and Alerts Service.

Below are my top trading rules (steps I take in my strategy) when daytrading crude oil on the one minute time-frame. It has worked for me over the years and I am sure you will find it a highly profitable way to day-trade oil.

1. The Price Trend of Trade is Your Friend.

  • If you are going to day trade oil long be sure oil is in a rally. In this case oil has been rallying for a number of days and today oil price continued to rally. In this instance, the trend is on your side so it is obvious that your highest probability day trades scalping crude oil futures will be long buy entries.

2. Price Dropping in to The 200 MA on One Minute Oil Chart.

  • Chart from the Oil Trading Room and Alerts feed shows the set-up intra day for the 200 MA scalp, “On the 1 minute time frame 25.15 200 MA is attractive test for a crude oil day trade pop up scalp – trading 25.68. #oiltradealerts” The white arrow on the chart points to the 200 MA on the 1 minute time-frame (200 MA in pink).

3. Execute Your Long Trade when Price Hits the 200 MA (Moving Average).

  • The screen image capture of the oil trading alerts feed show oil price bouncing off the 200 MA signal, day trade is now in play.
  • “Nice 40 point move on that crude oil daytrade set up on the 1 minute time frame, I didn’t take it, first extension resistance here. #oiltradealerts”

  • At point of writing this article, the move on this oil trade alert intra-day is now 80 points, this is a fantastic day trade strategy for oil traders. Knowing where your price targets are and knowing how to measure the symmetry for price extension price targets will really help your strategy.

Technical indicators or signals really help retrieve more profit in each trade and also help with your winning percentage of trades.

There are many other signals that you can use for any oil day trade, including the trade outlined in this article. Some of the other indicators or trade signals include order flow, time of day, resistance and support on larger time frames such as the 5 minute, 15 minute or 30 minute chart time-frames and many more.

The price extensions in this article are part of a proprietary one minute oil trading grid model that our machine trading uses. There are many ways to set your price targets, some use conventional charting methods and some algorithmic (or proprietary models as in this instance).

Hopefully this tutorial on using the one minute oil chart 200 MA as a signal for day trading (scalping) trades has helped. It is an intra-day strategy that has worked for me in my trading time and time again. 

You should find implementing this simple crude oil intra day trading strategy that your win rate and returns will excel.

If you liked this article there is another day trading oil strategy article I wrote here.

Oh, and by the way, while I am finishing up writing this article oil is getting near the upper price target for this day trade and I just alerted the oil trading room and our alert subscribers to take profits. Nice Trade!

Going Back to 2002, Twelve of last Thirteen Major Time Cycle completions on Weekly Oil Chart (a significant structure) have a Trend Reversal to one extent or another. 

This structural set-up should not be ignored by oil traders as the weekly chart is a significant structural consideration for long / short bias in trade planning and positioning.

Consideration toward indicators or chart set-ups / patterns in your oil trade planning is good (technical), as is fundamental research.

However, relying on limited individual charting indicators or set-up patterns (such as moving averages, MACD, head and shoulder pattern, etc) to form a bias can be problematic as it doesn’t provide a complete “structural” perspective to effectively form trade bias / positioning.

In our work, we rely heavily on chart structure on various time frames (1 min, 3, 5, 15, 30, 1 hour, 2, 4, Daily, Weekly and Monthly).

Above all else, the structure of the trading instrument (in our work and trade) is trump consideration. We know that all financial instruments have a structure and it is this structure that allows our trade positioning and our machine coding to operate at a significant advantage to the broad market.

January 2019 Update:

It happened again… today I posted an updated chart that brings the count to 13 out of last 14 time cycles, see below.

The Technical Significance of the Weekly Oil Chart and Structure Presented:

Specific to the point of this post, below is the oil chart I published to Trading View that shows the time cycle peak areas of oil on the weekly chart. The weekly oil chart is a significant structure because it is one of the broadest time frames the market uses to chart the trade of oil.

12 of last 13 time cycles in Oil trade had trend reversal. #OIL by curtmelonopoly on TradingView.com

How to Read this Oil Chart:

  • The vertical green lines show the date(s) of the peak time cycle area. You will notice that oil trade has reversed trend 12 of the last 13 time cycle peak areas. In some instances immediately and in some instances a few weeks later. You will also notice that the trend reversal is at times considerable and at other times not so much. The only time cycle peak that did not see a trend reversal was during the price plunge in October of 2014.
  • The yellow arrows on the oil chart denote area of trend reversal (in some instances a simple retrace and in others the reversal in oil trade is much more significant).
  • The diagonal blue lines are simple Fibonacci related trendlines that form what we call Trading Quadrants (the term comes from the lab work we do in preparation for machine coding of our algorithm models).
  • The horizontal lines are Fibonacci related support and resistance (retracement) lines. Our Fibonacci work is formed specific to chart structure and not conventional Fibonacci retracement work you may usually see from market chartists.
  • The red circles are targeted areas of precise trade that we note for our reference and purpose as it relates to our work. Not a significant indication on this chart for the point of this post.
  • The moving averages 20 MA, 50, 100, 200 are also on the chart and also not significant to the point of this post.

Below are Oil Chart Snap Shots From 2002 to Present (Note the Symmetry):

Symmetry and patterns in trade are important, especially if symmetry can be established within time cycles with some regularity. The chart images for oil trade from 2002 to 2018 (present) display the importance of this type of work.

Where are We Now?

Oil trade is now on the other side of an important time cycle completion / peak, as with the last thirteen time cycles highlighted in this post.

There is a very high probability of a reversal in trend, whether it be a simple retrace or a completely new trend develops.
