New York · VWAP trend pullback

Oil Rider

Rides crude oil's US-session trend: buys dips to a rising VWAP and sells rallies to a falling one.

How it trades

  1. Anchors VWAP at 9:00 AM ET.
  2. Long when VWAP is rising and price dips to it, then closes green back above. Short is the mirror.
  3. A trend-strength filter skips flat, directionless sessions.
  4. Fixed 60-tick stop and 60-tick target (about $60 each per MCL contract). Flat by 3:55 PM ET.

Who it's for

Traders who want crude oil in the lineup without trading it by hand.

Risk rules

  • One position at a time.
  • Fixed 60-tick stop on every trade.
  • No daily loss limit.
  • No news filter. Pause it around the weekly EIA crude inventory report.
Run every bot on Sim before trading it live, and size it to your account. Settings like contracts are adjustable. This bot has no built-in daily loss limit.
