Please note that while
there are strong trends in some commodities, one bar or a series of bars forming
a setup can sometimes indicate a contra move for the next day. This contra move
may not be long-lasting — maybe only for a day or two. Trading with the main
trend is always the highest probability trade.
Use stops on all your
trades.
