Automated Trading Strategy Review – Crude Oil Futures

Crude Auto Trader

Crude Oil has had an awesome week in both trading on the FLEX Auto Trader as well as just overall movement. It has been a VERY long time since Crude Oil was below $50/barrel and we are floating there as we speak.

This movement has allowed the FLEX Auto Trader to bank some solid trades for us and pull in a profit of $1,600 to start the 2015 year off with a bang!

Crude Performance

Crude Oil has had a great week of trading pulling in a solid profit of $1,600 for us on the week!

We have our largest winning trade coming in at a gorgeous $1,000 while the largest loss is almost smaller than the total commission at only $100. Along with this, our average trades came in the same at $1,000 winners and $100 losses for a trade reward vs. risk average of 10.00 and a total profit factor of 5.00.

We are seeing a bit of a slow down in trades taken per day at .75 on average but this is because the hold times have gone back up to normal around 111.4 minutes.

Crude Executions

Crude took a total of 6 trades this past week for a total commission cost of $30 per contract traded.

We have 2 of the 6 coming in as winners with the remaining 4 as losses for a trade accuracy of 33.33%.
