Trading Oil is not for the faint hearted

Trading Oil is not for the faint hearted. I have tried to trade this thing a few times. It has not worked even once. And I am still trying. Oh for goodness sake, when am I going to come to my senses. I put on a short position and in a matter of seconds, I was negative 300 USD.

My only hope is that history repeats itself. We are talking about a 1 day history. I hope that it will drop back to where I expected it to be..by tomorrow.
