ENERGY TRADE ideas

The following  is a portion of a ' Premium Report'  put out Monday Jan 26.    This is only 1/2 of the report, but should be helpful .   To be honest,  I initially only made small profits on some of these trades at first.   I had to leave town after the New England Storm  , and since positions are  volatile at the lows , I cashed out & re-entered later when I could monitor them.    I 've added a  few updated charts too.   Enjoy

Let me start by showing you an Energy stock that got taken out to the whipping post.  It is beaten down and  has double bottomed. It seems like all of the downside ( At least for now) has been met. Risk reward is skewed toward less risk  (Using stops) and more upside potential if conditions play out.  Some of these stocks could just "Bounce" and do very well.

They can form as flags, wedges, channels, etc.  It can be a trading opportunity on one hand, buy the lows & sell the top/ flip and short the top ,  ride down to the lows.   If you aren't an active  trader, however,  and you are just waiting for some directional move,  a nice trend to ride?  It can be a little frustrating. Its tough to tell which way it will break, and the chart above actually looks like it may break higher.   The chart below is the end result of the chart above.

The reason that I bring this up is because our markets are currently in a consolidation too...
