Guest Oil price

Today's oil price is -31 USD but I can only buy oil (US Crude) priced at 21.5 USD using spread bet account.  What's happening?

Where is this confusion coming from?

Trading is for the big boys so if retail punters take part they should expect to get sh@fted (and upwards of 70% of them were long on oil yesterday evening hahahaha)

Traders could not give away West Texas Intermediate overnight after a storage squeeze turned holders of the contracts expiring later on Tuesday to forced sellers.

Oh dear, when will retail traders wake up and smell the 'truth' about trading ...

what, you mean that it's a two way auction and that prices can go down as well as up, well I never. If only someone had said something. er, but I did in reply to your very first post on the forum, remember?

When will they realize that they are so consistently wrong that one of the strongest indicators is to bet against them when they have a very strong majority opinion 🤣

In truth any system only needs to be right 50% of the time so long as risk is capped and reward able to run twice as far.

I've heard that some people use technical analysis so badly that they would have better odds by rolling a dice. 

People who are consistently losing (the majority of all retail traders) certainly don't have an 'edge', and I'm sceptical that they will improve over the years - imagine losing money for years on end with nothing to show for it.  Wow.

I'd imagine the investment banks are also going to take a hit from this? ...they are providing hedges for oil producers..

Oh yes, and probably brokers like IG too - they will be keen to pass as much of the costs on to clients as they can.

Hi, I have checked both May, June & July future's charts. Only May future chart reflect current market price (below US$6 as of now, but not open for trade). Whereas charts for June & July future are not reflecting current market price. How can I trade current market price for US Crude?

Hi, it's the term 'current market price' that's the problem. The current market price for IG's May, June and July futures contracts are as on IG's charts which are tracking the underlying exchange prices for those respective futures contracts.

A bigger problem is the Spot price used for the Daily Funded Bet chart. For non brokers displaying prices such as Tradingview or Marketwatch they are simply using the front futures prices (May) for their spot charts but brokers who need to not only to give prices but to actually fill orders such as IG or FXPro they need to consider liquidity in the market so instead of just using the front futures contract as the underlying they instead use a calculation based on the 2 most liquid futures contracts.

The 'current market price' you were referring to was the May futures price but as you found that market was closed to open any trades because it was nearing expiry.

Looks like retail clients are going to have to be a lot more careful before placing bets in future ...

The big Oil ETFs under pressure now,

Dominic Gluchowski @Dom_Gluchowski

"Many retail investors are going long on #USO and other oil ETFs without understanding the risks of contango. On the 5th of May many ETFs will start rolling over their remaining June #oil futures to the July ones. This time the new game of musical chairs might start much earlier."

Evening. Quick question on US Crude DFB. Can the price get lower than $0 as happened with the futures prices yesterday? I suspect not but looking to buy and trying to calculate the downside risk. Relatively new to this so sorry if some of the language is incorrect...

Guest IG US CRUDE

Am I right in thinking the price used on IG Spread Bet for USCrud is a blend of roughly 92% front contract and 8% next month contract? Does this ratio adjust per day as we go through the month?

    • Silver Elliott Wave Analysis Function -Counter-Trend Mode - Corrective Structure -Double Zigzag for wave B (circled) Position - Wave (Y) of B Direction - Wave (Y) of B is still in play Details - After violating the last update, we have a new outlook on daily and H4 that better fits the current price action. A lower extension is now expected for Silver. Silver Elliott Wave Analysis: Extended Decline and Bullish Outlook Overview: The decline in Silver that began on May 20th is continuing to extend lower and is expected to persist before finding significant support. Despite this downturn, the year-long trend remains bullish and is anticipated to resume once this corrective phase concludes. The emerging chart pattern suggests a further decline towards $27 in the coming days or weeks.   Daily Chart Analysis: Two key observations can be made on the daily chart: Bullish Yearly Trend: The trend for this year has been bullish, leading to a breakout from a prior 13-month sideways price action. This indicates strong underlying bullish momentum. Corrective Decline: The current decline from April 19th, 2024, is identified as corrective. Therefore, the expectation is that the bullish trend will resume once this corrective structure concludes.   To determine when the corrective structure will finish, it’s important to identify the emerging pattern. Early analysis suggests that the price might be forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure, labeled as waves (W)-(X)-(Y). Wave (W) and wave (X) completed on June 13th and June 21st, respectively. The price is now breaking down in wave (Y), which could extend to $27 or lower. Meanwhile, the year-long impulse is labeled as wave A (circled) in the primary degree, and the double zigzag pullback should complete the corresponding primary degree wave B (circled). Following this, wave (C) is expected to push the price to a fresh 2024 high.   H4 Chart Analysis: The H4 chart provides a detailed view of the sub-waves within the double zigzag structure. The price is currently in wave A of (Y), which is expected to be followed by a minor corrective bounce for wave B. Afterward, the price should continue lower for wave C, completing wave (Y) of B (circled). This pattern aligns with the broader expectation of a corrective phase before the resumption of the bullish trend.   Summary: Current Decline: Silver’s decline from May 20th is expected to continue towards $27 before finding support. Bullish Yearly Trend: Despite the current downturn, the overall trend for the year remains bullish. Corrective Structure: The decline is forming a double zigzag Elliott wave corrective structure. Daily Chart Insight: The trend is expected to resume higher after the completion of the current wave B. H4 Chart Detail: Sub-waves show a minor bounce expected before a further decline to complete wave (Y) of B. In conclusion, while Silver is currently experiencing a corrective decline, the long-term bullish trend is anticipated to resume once this phase concludes. Traders should watch for a potential bottom around $27 and prepare for a renewed bullish impulse towards new highs in 2024.

    • Honestly, L2 scaling solution projects are now increasing by the day. Should we worry about that? Absolutely, not. Why? Because it reduce overdependence on one solution and increase adoption. Also, focusing on different aspect of scaling is a good thing; for instance, Blast focus on staking ETH and stablecoin reinforces security on their network and Ethereum mainnet which increases users' confidence in blockchain and crypto.
    • Well, price performances are always a reflection of either of 2 factors: 1. constant hype by influencers/KOLs 2. whale trading activities 3. imrovement of tech or expansion of utility/usecase to accommodate needs of users For BGB, I think it's rather the last 2 basically from the recent expansion of its ecosystem where the token is used for several high-end events like launchpad, poolx etc.
