Oil prices tank on peace deal — short the energy losers
Created
Thesis
For months, the war kept oil prices artificially high because a huge chunk of the world's oil supply had to pass through a dangerous conflict zone. Now that the fighting is ending and the shipping lanes are reopening, that fear premium is evaporating. As Iranian oil flows back into the global market smoothly, the extra supply will likely push prices even lower, hitting oil producers hard.
Strategy approach
Build a rule-based strategy that enters short USO on H4 when price closes below the 50-period SMA and the current day's high is lower than the previous day's high. Exit on a 5% profit target or if price closes above the 20-period EMA. Include a 3% hard stop loss.
