While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Jim Parker, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three day window. It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

OIL...after taking a look at the longer time frame charts and where it stopped mid-week, I pulled my order to buy. This will need a day or two to sort itself out.
We either get a little more weakness and rally back up or we see the start of a move into the 55 handle.
Point & figure shows anything under 60.25 will weaken the Oil.
