  1. Hi SK

    Good to see you practising crude oil. But when you trade in real time start with crude oil mini where the lot size is 10 only. Very volatile counter. So start with mini contract. In course of time you will realise it is better to trade crude oil than Nifty.

    1. Hi Veer,

      Only your inputs made me think about Crude oil. If and when I think of real trading, I will start with 1 lot mini contract.

      Who is your broker for commodities? Who offers the cheapest rates?

      Thanks,

  2. Is the slippage in crude oil more than that in Nifty?
    Pz share other differences between two, if any.

    1. Hi Sunil,

      I am doing only book trading. So no idea about slippage.

      I have started looking at crude oil for the last few days only. When I find some real significant difference, I would like to have a discussion abt them with all the friends.

      Thanks,
      S.Karthikeyan

    2. Hi,
      I also trade crude oil and Nifty. Crude Oill is more liquid than Nifty. 99% of the time, you don't face any slippage. Not even a tick.

    3. Hi Jagadeesh,

      Thanks for your comment. Can you please tell me abt the important events/announcements of crude oil, when we have to avoid trading?

    4. Every Wednesday at 8:00 P.M, there will be an inventory report in U.S. You must close your positions before 7:55 P.M. As you are discretionary trader, you can know when the news based volatility is discounted in price. I personally don't look at the chart between 7 :45 and 8:05 just to control my anxiety of reading price action.
      And the remaining news events that can impact the volatility can be tracked http://www.forexfactory.com/ ..
      Make a habit of checking this website everyday and don't forget to change the date and time settings to our local before using it.
      Hope it helps.. :)
