Get yourself a good chart system going. I know TD trades gives nice charts with their systems.
This is what I used to use when I traded gas and oil:

The trader windows on the right are where you make your trades. Notice the window on the far right? Says CLEJ5. That's oil. Each penny is $10 per lot. So if you go long 1 lot, for every penny oil goes up you make $10.
So lets say you went long 10 lots @ $40. Every single penny that goes up will make you $100 and down, under $40, will be a loss of $100.
I used to long and short 1k, 10k, and 20k at a time. I think you get the drift on how much each penny was worth after putting my bid in. Needless to say you better have a very strong heart on you if you want to trade big

NIO took a dump. I traded it pre market. Everything I traded today was electric car related.

Could see nio dropping to the 30’s or more. It was due. Followed parabolic curve to a tee pretty much.

Heart attack. Try trading 2 million dollars worth of oil in one trade. See what happens to your heart while the price drops 50 cents and you are long
Like all addicted gamblers eventually you bottom out. That's exactly what day traders of commodities are like. Addicted gamblers.

FC Stone. I haven't traded in 15 years. No more gambling in my life once I lost it all. I turned to growing instead. Much more relaxing

On 7/13/'20...
I hit sold instead of the buy tag on the €/$
Locked in at .13035...
On a .13001 daily low.
.30 cent position went $2,119.50 in The Red.
I had made $179 - $257 on .20 positions 4 days straight before that horrible flubb up.
Thats 895 -1,285 points per day. If
I wasnt being a smug smart arse I would have clip the balloon right after the mistake. Sorry, ice cream on the sidewalk.
Instead I torched a 4,475 - 6,425 point week.
All because I was to over confident, arrogant, an to lazy to end the trade instead of trying to slack off on the next days low.
