Automated Trading Strategy Review – Crude Oil Futures

Crude Auto Trader

Crude Oil has had some nice movement higher as the market ramps up but the moves that we are seeing are VERY choppy and lack much consistency in the move causing some trouble for the TREND Auto Trader and not allowing it to catch any of the big runs. That being said, it still banked a solid profit this past week of $100 with, when all things are said and done, a difficult market to say the least!

Crude Performance

Crude Oil brought in a solid $100 this past week on some fairly strong stats! We can see that not every week is created equal and even though we had a trending market, it was very sloppy. We had our largest winning trade come back at $290 while the largest losing trade was back at $150. Along with that we have our average winning trade coming in at $290 and the average loser at only $95. This gives us a reward vs. risk average of a gorgeous 3.05 and a total profit factor of 1.53. We are seeing an average of 1.00 trades per day which are being held for a bit faster than usual at 60.0 minutes on average. This isn’t a big surprise as the breakouts of the consolidation areas were quick hitting targets very fast.

Crude Executions

Crude Oil took a total of 3 trades this past week for a commission total with multiple contracts of $15. We also had 1 of the 3 trades come  back as a winner for a trade accuracy total of 33.33%!
