USO and UNG Mid Week Trading Tips

Crude oil has a nice bull flag and we are waiting for a breakout and setup while natural gas continues to see selling pressure.

USO Fund Trading – Daily Fund Chart
The USO oil fund broke out a few weeks ago from the large pennant pattern. The price has been flagging for about 3 weeks now. It looks like we are getting close to a low risk setup so I am keeping a close eye on this fund.


UNG Fund Trading – Daily Fund Chart
Natural gas continues to under perform the rest of our commodities. This fund is starting to look like another good by point but we need a few things to fall into place before that happens. Let’s not jump the gun because this fund is still in a bear market. Waiting for a setup.


Waiting for these exchange traded funds to generate low risk setups and watching our current positions mature is the boring part of trading. It’s these slow times when traders get bored and start taking more risk by entering positions that do not have clear entry and exit points. Not having clear entry and exit points will lead to traders holding on to losing trades and not taking profits on winning trades. Be sure you enter positions which you know where you should get out if the trade goes against you and where to take some money off the table if it rallies higher.

ETF Trading Conclusion:
We continue to wait for trading opportunities to unfold. We focus on taking advantage of low risk setups and avoiding times the market when things are choppy and unclear.
