Crude Oil has had quite a week so far having prices flip around all over the place now that we have dove down to the low 80’s. This has sparked a huge increase in volatility which has, in turn, sparked the FLEX Auto Trader into overdrive!

We brought in a total of $850 in profits this past week on some gorgeous trading opportunities and very strong stats showing that, regardless of the week, we can make some serious cash!
