94 ticks
Notes: Small loss in oil inventories when a small gain was expected coupled with a big gain in gasoline and small drop in distillates caused an indecisive reaction. With JOBB, you would have filled short at about 85.53 with 6 ticks of slippage, then seen it head for your stop loss in 3 sec. After the :31 bar settled lower, the long term reaction reversed long for nearly 100 ticks in 25 min, reacting more to the drop in crude and distillates, while also correcting from the big selloff in the last 10 hrs.
