Is there a stock/ETF that tracks crude oil/CL ?

Zero_Abides

CL futures or UCO if you have to be in etfs

JaxTaylor2

He said wiped out on puts, that’s cute. Try being short the /CL contract in 10 lot sizes. Fun times Thursday night.

12stolmylicenseplate

So tomorrow is the time to trade/CL… got it

LarryStink

If only I had the balls to pull the trigger on /CL futures last Thursday night. I saw the initial spike and thought it was too late and I didn't want to chase it. Could made a couple hundy thousand on that move.

Terrible-Quarter

XLE the ETF or /CL (futures) if you can Just examples of things that go up with oil

BarbellPadawan

That’s such a terrible product dude. Just get a futures enabled account and deal with /CL if you want to participate in that market.

rbraalih

What is CL?

Mental-Machine-9939

\> guy whos actively "trading" middle east war headlines asks what CL is

BarbellPadawan

I’m really really glad I bet against this move overnight (sold ES puts, sold GC and CL calls). So that’s pretty neat.

DuckTard69

Doubt it very much. I think the reaction already happened in the Asia session. We'll be back at all time highs before you know it. Yes, it might cause an ongoing bid in CL & GC but meh.

Mental-Machine-9939

CL 74 --> 70 free money

Nice-Mix-4868

I would say Tehran’s threats to block the Strait of Hormuz plays a role in that. Hopefully they do. CL=F will smash its 52 week high

sonofalando

Imagine you’re a hedge fund that sold naked calls on /CL.

BarbellPadawan

This move isn’t sustaining. I just put short positions on /GC and /CL, and long on /ES.

optimaleverage

/CL futures going wild +8% ffffuuu

BagpipesDontFly

WMT and CL have been pretty range-bound too — might be worth a look. Also maybe try XLP ETF if you’re really looking to avoid single stock risk.

I have to go on a 3 day trip Monday through Wednesday, and I have to do the driving.. so I'm preparing for some buys so I still make something. I'm watching BMY, CL, DOCU, EL, LULU, PEP, PSX Give me some other stocks if you got em

ThreeJC

You’re gonna get CL(ob)BR’ed

WickOfDeath

So what kind of ride do you expect? Geopolitical risks keep it in the sixties, but with record sales in EV, the hiking sales in E-trucks, the economic decline in the USA... these factors dont keep the oil price up. I would enjoy the ride to the downside... OPEC hikes and hikes and hikes again the production, +411K barrels in June, +1.2M barrel in July for "gaining back price control, punish overproducing OPEC members and put pressure on US shale producers". The Shale production requires the oil price to be higher than $50, some already feel the pain - some distant CL contracts sell for $55 a barrel.

I have put my money on PSG because 🌮 loves Qatar.  So expect Inter to win this CL final with ease.

For starters, this is an etf, so it has constituents we can review. Here are the companies. These companies would probably have lower profits in heavy recessions. If we don’t have a bad recession they will price gouge and make high profits. I don’t think you’re stupid but your critical thinning or thought process is lacking Costco Wholesale Corp (COST): 10.52% Walmart Inc (WMT): 9.69% Procter & Gamble Co (PG): 9.01% Coca-Cola Co (KO): 6.41% Philip Morris International Inc (PM): 6.34% Altria Group Inc (MO): 4.50% Mondelez International Inc (MDLZ): 4.42% Colgate-Palmolive Co (CL): 4.39% PepsiCo Inc (PEP): 4.15% Kimberly-Clark Corp (KMB): 2.83 I guess I am just looking for substance in discussions which isn’t common today. Im not great at discussing vibes but you guys carry on I guess. Cool.

SidonyD

thank you. And you're right partially. I've got 80% of ETF in my portfolio. Since i began stock picking, 8 stocks on 10 outperformed the Sp500/Nasdaq 100. Because i chose everytime the most active stocks. And in US market, we know which stock will outperform for the next 1-2 years or maybe more because they are big and strong leader in the most dynamic sector like Tech for example. But only two etf could beat the half of my stock, or maybe 7 on 10 of my stocks : CL 2 and LQQ, sp500/nasdaq x2 leveraged etf. But as french (so i got all my ETF in euro), i lost 10% more cause euro/dollars. And when you have gain 10% more with ETF, it's very very tricky ...

This report is interesting.... metrics seem to be trending in the right direction. Also, a 50 million dollar repurchase program... I've been buying solely GTII the past little bit, and well I'm a bagholder of them and CL, but this is starting to look like an opportunity to me.

All right. Long WTI. You're my next hope 59/61 /CL call spread

Inner-Detail-553

On the CME, it’s ticker “CL” In your app, might be /CL

WickOfDeath

well 1.) thank you Mr Trump to push the oil futures from 55.9 to 59.5, rescueing me from a long position at 58 and 2.) I just say "Kharg Island". Watch the tankers or if they are absent. When they move away CL + 10% in one day. Hegseth said something about it. Kharg Island is the Iranian oil supply. Last times the Israeli forces were on an attack at Kharg. 3.) A congress bill for 200 million additional barrels for the PSR, estimaged purchase price $65. Thats 200.000 CL contracts...

Wild idea. Attach the price at the pump to /CL in real time.

Defiant-Salt3925

I sell strangles on the same tickers, a few currency futures, and other highly liquid securities. I love ES due to its unmatched liquidity—I almost always find a way to close for a 50% profit and roll the untested side when ES strangles move against me. If one of my strikes is breached, I turn the position into a straddle and even go inverted when necessary. ES is the only ticker I know with the liquidity that allows for these types of adjustments, especially since liquidity dries up once strikes go in the money. So far, I’ve never closed an ES strangle for a loss, even during the recent market crash. I usually have 15–20 strangles open at all times. I don’t pay as much attention to news and events as you do, because with options, most of it is already priced in—and volatility is overstated the majority of the time. I typically use around half of my buying power to get the best return on capital. I sell around 45 DTE, using 10–15 delta strikes on both sides, and close at 14 DTE at the latest to avoid gamma risk. Recently, I started dabbling with 0DTE strangles on CL, GC, ES, and ZB, and I’ve been very profitable. When one of my strikes is touched, I hedge by going long or short the future and let the trade expire. If I’m assigned, the position is flattened and losses are minimal. I also beta-weight my entire portfolio to ES/MES and use those futures to neutralise the delta across my positions. I’m currently working on an API to integrate with my account so I can automate delta hedging and rebalance my deltas every day or so—minimising screen time. As I said, I trade options fairly aggressively, but I really like your approach. It’s especially well-suited for newer traders interested in selling options on futures and commodities. They should definitely read and absorb all the valuable info from your write-up.

Wisertrader

Happy to share! How do you trade strangles more aggressively? Yes ES is definitely liquid, however CL, NG, GC and some of the grains are also extremely liquid from my experience and I have never had an issue! Personally I find it not too effective to roll the untested side because if I get to that point, it means the commodity become extremely directional because the supply and demand balance changed drastically, by which point I would have already closed my trade anyway! I use IBKR, they are the only ones that allow stop losses for futures options!

What does CL stand for?

ApprehensiveHippo400

is SPY watching CL final?

Parking_Note_8903

oil at $60 is teetering on companies break-even point ( if not already in the red ), for that reason whenever CL starts dipping into the $60's I start looking for a long position to hold for several weeks / months, the more south CL goes, the hornier i get to scale up that long position, TP during trek back upwards and full out by $72 / getting too close to contract expiration then rinse & repeat OPEC already has started to cap it's production in some member states, tariffs going to cause a slow down in summer travel which would translate to lower oil demand that cutting supply won't be enough to compensate for I'm bullish on CL with \~2 month outlook / make a push to re-test $66 - 68

grems8544

I don’t know about a “big fall” but what I do know is that the larger institutions are not participating in this run up. https://imgur.com/a/7CL5DiK This is a picture from GammaEdge of the market positioning for SPX AM settled options. There are 13-14M of these options in play at any one time, and the market players do not move this money quickly. Note, this view does NOT include the SPX PM-settled options, which DO move quickly. The two colored lines are gamma balance (top line) and delta balance (lower line). A positive slope on these generally indicates calls being opened / puts being closed; reverse for a down market. IMO, what we are seeing is “sitting pat”: no aggressive move up is being planned ( we would see more of a positive slope) nor is there positioning for a major drop ( we would see a negative slope). Institutions steer the market; I think we are in a wait and see situation.

apparently: **Summary:** * **Bullish Signals:** Russell 2000 (RTY) shows a bullish stance from both commercials and retail traders. * **Caution Advised:** S&P 500 (ES) and Crude Oil (CL) have contrarian setups with retail bullishness against commercial bearishness. * **Neutral Outlook:** NASDAQ (NQ) and Gold (GC) display mixed sentiments, warranting a cautious approach.

JohnnyBoyJr

Thanks for the info. During COVID, I discovered I needed to up my game when it came to credit, and I've been requesting CL increases every 3 months, opening new cards, etc.  I often times get denied for CLI's, unfortunately.  I've definitely built things up, but it's a game that's always improving. Did you know you can 're-allocate' credit limits with some card issuers ? Chase and Wells Frago will do this. If you have a card with a $500 CL and one with $19,500 CL, you can move $9,500 to the $500 card. Then both cards will have $10k.   Some day when I open another Reflect, I'll move $8k from my other WF card,  then my Reflect will have a credit limit that is even $8k higher than when I just opened it.   Hopefully WSB will let you do another post, as it'd be really interesting to see where things are after you complete your next round of credit applications.   I appreciate you sharing the specifics - it's really hard to find anyone else that is doing something similar, so your data points are very valuable to me.

There you clearly see that ChatGPT is not updated in real time... around an hour ago Trump announced that tariffs are getting to be suspended for 90 days. As I suspected, read my comments on my profile... anything can happen. I was long on WTI at $62.27 and then this retaliation tariff on China... oil droppped to 60, to 57, 56... the only reason why I didnt close that position with around -14K at the floor of the chart was my belief that "something can happen". I was long on CL in the may contract... that has first notice day in around 2 weeks. I got out with a raised SL to 62.27, then some slippage hapnened and -200. Anyway compared to the 15K and the urgency to get some money into that account for not loosing the money... just told me I was right that Trump does zigzag , tariff on, tariff off, tariff on, tariff off. We need a Trumpwatch tool like the CME Fedwatch... to tell us what comes next. My bet is... within one week China will turn into a "totally pissed off" state and will retaliate in a severe way. I try to get the option permission. That because the ES or the NQ are untradeable with their volatility but with options I have far less absolute volatility and "smaller" position size and position value movements.

They have contracts that expire every few months. For example, if you didn't close your CL (oil futures) positions before the last contract expired, they would reach out to you to arrange your pickip of 100(?) barrels of oil.

You’re looking at a live futures/options trading dashboard (likely from ThinkOrSwim or a similar brokerage). Let’s break down what’s happening using clear terms and a risk-aware lens. HIGH-LEVEL SNAPSHOT You’re trading a multi-instrument futures/options portfolio, and your daily profit/loss (P/L Day) is +$44,881.75. But your open P/L (mark-to-market unrealized gain/loss) is –$438.75, meaning net PnL is slightly red overall right now, but you’re up big intraday. SUMMARY OF POSITIONS (Ranked by Contribution) 1. /ES – E-mini S&P 500 Futures • Mark: 5096.75 • P/L Open: +$14,212.50 • Delta: 50.00 • You’re long the index, riding a strong move—this is your top-performing position. 2. /NG – Natural Gas Futures + Options • Futures P/L: +$8,160.00 • Options: • 4C (May 25) +$4,230.00 • 4P (May 25) +$3,930.00 • Total on NG: +$16,320.00 • Delta: 30,000 (likely from long futures or deep ITM puts) • Massive exposure here—this is your second-biggest contributor, but high-vol risk. 3. /ZS – Soybean Futures • Mark: 977.75 • P/L Open: –$9,031.25 • Delta: 127.89 • This position is hurting you today. Likely either short premium or long in a pullback. 4. /CL – Light Sweet Crude Oil Futures • Mark: 62.32 • P/L Open: –$13,780.00 • Delta: 1080.36 • High directional exposure, possibly from long futures or synthetic calls. You’re getting dragged by oil’s drop today. POSITION STRATEGY CLARITY You’re using: • Directional futures (/ES, /NG, /CL, /ZS) • Options overlays on some futures (/NG and /ES) • Delta management with option spreads or ITM positions (e.g., the +50 delta in /ES despite options) Your options are likely ITM (in-the-money) and used for leverage + controlled exposure rather than theta decay plays. BOTTOM SECTION DETAILS • P/L Day: +$44,881.75 → your realized/unrealized gains for the day • P/L Open: –$438.75 → your net unrealized P/L from open to now • Net Liq: $142,132.81 → total account value if everything closed now • Available $: $103,664.81 → buying power still accessible • Position Equity: Same as Net Liq → all capital is fully visible; no hidden draw ANALYSIS: RISK & LEVERAGE TAKEAWAYS Strengths • You’re capitalizing on /ES and /NG trends well. • Liquidity and margin look healthy—no immediate stress. • You’ve layered in options to control downside in some cases. Risks • /CL and /ZS are bleeding—combined $22,000+ unrealized losses. • You’re carrying heavy directional delta across multiple commodities + equities. • Natural gas has massive delta (30,000)—impressive if controlled, but explosive if wrong. Want me to: • Calculate your portfolio weighted delta and volatility risk? • Recommend a hedge or roll strategy to protect /CL and /ZS? • Build a volatility dashboard in Excel to monitor your delta, theta, and gamma in real time? Let’s lock it down before the tape flips.

Question for the mortgage regards in here. Ive got my credit score up to a 720 now. I’m just waiting a couple of months to apply for a mortgage loan so I can have some clean bank statements ( no Robinhood/casino gambling).

I had two largish CDs mature recently, and decided to move some funds to the following to reduce my exposure to the USD and the US economy: ENOR ISHARES MSCI NORWAY ETF FLCH FRANKLIN FTSE CHINA ETF FXE INVESCO CURRENCYSHARES EURO TRUST ETF FXF INVESCO CURRENCYSHARES SWISS FRANC TRUST ETF GDX VANECK GOLD MINERS ETF IAUM ISHARES GOLD TRUST MICRO ETF SGOL ABRDN STANDARD PHYSICAL GOLD ETF VEUSX VANGUARD EUROPEAN STOCK INDEX ADMIRAL CL VTABX VANGUARD TOTAL INTL BOND INDEX ADMIRAL CL VYMI VANGUARD INTL HIGH DIVIDEND YIELD INDEX ETF We'll see how this strategy plays out, but I feel pretty confident that it's a good hedge against a USD devaluation and a tariff-induced recession. It's only about 25% of my portfolio; the rest is mostly bonds, CDs, treasuries, and high dividend stocks and ETFs. I'm hoping to retire early and get the fuck out of this country, so capital preservation is key.

Yes, some of us make consistent profits by trading options. In my case I sell SPX credit spreads that look like asymmetrical iron condors because I leg into each side and not trade the 4 positions as one trade. I do that as a business. I incorporated, upgraded my technology, have a home office that is quiet, and have, over the years, read a bunch of books on the subject, have a daily routine that I stick to (e.g. online at 8:00 AM (ET) to review overnight events, read a couple of business brief newsletters, look at several business websites (WSJ, Bloomberg, CNBC, Trading Economics, Barchart and others) all of which give me sense of what the market's direction may be at the open. I do that on one screen, the other is my trading platform where I keep a pre-market watch on Futures and Futures Options again to get a sense of what may occur at the open. I watch, but don't trade, /ES, /NQ, /YM, /CL, /GC, /RB again because they also give a sense of direction pre-market. A watch the economic numbers before the 9:30 open. E.g. today's Retail Sales, tomorrow it will be Building Permits, Wed. is important because at 2:00PM the Fed will announce its interest rate decision. And much more. I DON'T watch videos on YouTube. I don't watch Jim Cramer and other pundits like him. I do watch Tom Sosnoff and others on tastytrade's morning shows (e.g. Market Measures and Options Jive.) You can decide who/what to watch but, in my experience, YouTube is not worth the trouble. That's it basically. As tastytrade suggests, trade of often and trade small, cut your losses short and let your profits run. Read, study, paper trade on a platform that you're comfortable with, ask questions, watch the markets as they unfold and what the options markets are doing in response. As someone else said it's not a get rich overnight scheme. Like anything worthwhile it takes effort.

Finally i feel like im talking to a sensible person here. prior to this it was all lunatics i believe. anyway here is the response. Ok so if you look at the picture, i have traded futurues options because you get best leverage in those. for instance a similar type of exposure in equities/etf's or indices would have cost me 3X more on avg and then at that point the risk/reward doesn't make sense. Here my goal is to achieve a 3:1 risk/reward ratio. meaning if i am putting down $300, i would like to have a max potential profit of $100. and that is what happened in most cases on my positions. Underlyings: /ES, /ZB, /6E, /CL DTE: 35 - 50 days out Closing: at 35-45% of max profit. for e.g. if i collected $150, i will close it around $70 - $80 mark. Comms: i paid $7 to get in a trade and $7 to get out. yes comms are higher in futures options but that is okay, When it goes against me: for e.g. i initiated a short put spread and it the underlying drops, i would sell a call spread to contain the delta. i.e. to become more market neutral now. although if i believe the underlying has dropped a LOT, to like extreme levels, for e.g. /6E did that, i would also sell another put spread for no more margin, because your margin is already calculated based off the original put spread you sold. they dont double margin you on the same side. and remember the call spread you sell for exttra premium is also margin free, you only pay commissions so now you have a IC and an extra short put spread (in the same cycle of DTE are more than 30 or in the next cycle of DTE's are less than 25ish) and then i manage those individually. IC and Short put spread. I hope this helps, maybe i made it too complicated, i just dumped everything that came to my mind after i read your question. happy to piecemeail it for you, let me know.

My daughter was in a similar age/situation a couple of years or ago. We opened an account for her at Vanguard and set her up like this: VBTLX (VANGUARD TOTAL BOND MARKET INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 13% VTABX (VANGUARD TOTAL INTL BOND INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 7% VTIAX (VANGUARD TOTAL INTL STOCK INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 30% VTSAX (VANGUARD TOTAL STOCK MARKET INDEX ADMIRAL CL): 50% We also created a Roth for her and put it all into VSVNX-Vanguard Target Retirement 2070 Fund For everything but the Roth (since it was pretty small and would get an annual addition), we invested 10% of the total every couple of weeks until she was fully invested. I understand the appeal of bitcoin, but I really worry it will underperform going forward. It's small enough and you are young enough that it shouldn't hurt, but I'd advise that you keep good records and circle back in 5 years to see if it is doing as well as everything else.

It's a derivative contract similar to an option. But you don't have to deal with theta because it's an OBLIGATION and not an option to deliver the underlying (the most popular to trade are ES which is tied to S&P 500 and NQ which is tied to Nasdaq 100 but also commodities like Gold GC and Oil CL). However you'll never take delivery of the product. You'll sell the position before it expires. You use heavy margin to trade these, and you can trade them 23 hours a day 6 days a week unlike options which is only 9:30-4

This is beyond oversold and it’s complete market manipulation trying to shake off weak hands!! Gtbif, Trul and CL all had strong earnings reports. This industry is NOT going anywhere and if a bunch of smaller tier MSOs go bankrupt…well that’s good for the industry as the big ones will swallow them up and/or absorb that market share. Patience is required here but the prices here go back over 5 years ago…well before profitability, scale and size and any regulatory advancements. This industry only grew, more states legalized and the fact that we’re seeing this capitulation is not a reflection of fundamentals. Low volume and uncertainty is definitely driving the sentiment. But like we saw with the one rumour headline of “White House is open to a proposal for cannabis reform” this went up 10%, it will be a frenzy when we actually get some news. This sector is def speculative but if you have a consistently profitable company who has the cash to surive the storm…this could easily be a 10x buying opportunity. Not financial advice but I know I will be adding more (probably mostly Gtii)

LarryStink

Most likely for both but even the monthlies are at risk of getting chopped up. I suspect this market still has some regard strength and the recession play isn't in full swing. Based on previous cycles It will take months for this market to actually roll over. I am watching ICE BofA high yield spreads, the US2Y and /CL like a a hawk for any more signs of weakness

trikkur

ABBV has been doing great these couple weeks. Also a small amount of CL and KHC. Dividend stocks are holding their own recently

HoneyBadger552

Mmm yes. So is schd. I’m in the slow dividend lane for the bulk of my Roth right now now. Calls on CL and Cracker Barrel 2 months I left tsla outs early and I’m an idiot on that one. Oh well

Br1ll1antly1llog1cal

have you check the CL future curve? it's backwardation until at least 2026. market is betting on slowing consumption and/or increase production.

Tronbronson

Pluffmudders

Teeth are recession proof. Brush your teeth. CL been green all week.

barelyreadsenglish

Hoof_Hearted12

Yeah, for me it CL and Hiti I just keep on adding. For some reason, I really like hiti (bullish and holds up well compared to its peers.

Cresco Labs (CRLBF) is scheduled to report earnings on **Mar 13, 2025**, TBA Not Confirmed. I would love to pick up some CL today but only at the best price. everyone is nickeling and diming the stock it seems...

Slight correction: the West Texas Intermediate Futures contracts (/CL) went negative because traders didn't want to take delivery. Oil spot prices did not go negative. Cash-settled oil futures also did not go negative.

NA CL is a rough chemical they add that can give you Hypertension.

DrHarrisonLawrence

CL should see a much more lucrative ROI.

martyd94

Only one im adding to right now. Have CL also

BarbellPadawan

Sold a couple contracts, then sold a couple naked calls. Then /CL opened like 20 points through those strikes. ☠️

canonanon

I'm hoping so. Just bought a CL in after bailing before the drop last week.
