In all honesty, if somebody in your timeline was going "I am placing a long trade on Oil with the reasoning that the price is so low that it has to bounce", be very careful or outright fade them.
(1/5).
You can't look at this chart, call yourself a technical trader and act like you know what you are doing if you are placing a long here.

There was literally no sign of reversal throughout the day, there was very little technical reason to long if any.

I am keen on avoiding 'absolute terms' here, but this is a very good example of 'knife catching squad' gone wrong.
'Price is low, therefore must bounce' will run your account dry.

I am aware that +ve expectancy strat's could have had a 'long opportunity' flashed today, I am also sure that those trades were executed properly if that has happened and adhered to stop.
I've seen more 'traders' buying this without a stop, they are the reason for this thread.
P.S. If you have seen anyone on your timeline do that, pm me their twitter handles. Will use as counter-indicators at times of volatility.

Thanks in advance
