Episode notes
Prefer Natural Gas Over Oil Right Now
- Trade natural gas instead of crude for better risk-reward because NatGas has been basing and clearing its 50-day moving average while oil already made a huge move.
- Mish sized positions tightly (bought BOIL around $18.50 with initial risk under $17) to handle inherent commodity volatility.
Use Opening Range Breakouts With Tight Stops
- When trading volatile commodities, follow short-term opening-range breakouts and keep very tight stops to limit losses.
- Mish used the first 30-minute low test on BOIL then bought into the reopening with a tight stop to control volatility.
Choose Broad Commodity ETFs If You're New
- For beginners or lower-volatility exposure to commodities, use broad ETFs like DBC (metals and oil) or DBA (agriculture) instead of single futures.
- DBA recently cleared a breakout level (26) and trades around 26.70, making it more beginner-friendly.
