Hi Ray, This is Sal from SalvadorLara.com

Today is what I love about trading crude. And we were on the sidelines today. We had sold our DXO position at $3.64 so we left a little on the table as I think it reached $3.68. I am probably going to stay on the sidelines until Friday at the close and take our next position there. We have shorted the market "big" with BGZ going into Friday, the bad news day and I'll assess my crude trade then. Of course that could change, that's why it is called day trading.

These days virtually all of my crude trading is done with the DXO. I'll short with DTO, it is just hard to get your bid with as thin as it trades so we are careful. USO options are a big part of our research though.

Good luck this week, what a great market this is right now!
