                              Shorted Crude Oil for a 94 pip Gain

                              Last night I shorted oil at $97.35.  I just closed my position at 96.36 for a 94 pip gain. 

                              This was a trade I took as a result of my own analysis (week 2 or 3 of a 3 to 4 week continuation of down trend, and the Oil Forecast, as well as current price).



                              Cheers.
