Oil price $100+, everyone online is shouting "see $130", and I turn around and set my short position into a six-level grid
…That night WTI surged past $100, the comments were full of "Goldman says $120""the war isn’t over yet". My decision: don’t try to call the top—let the top walk into my grid.
Batch-by-batch short-selling framework:
Once the last level is opened, I stop—total exposure is capped and sealed
Take-profit target $85—the equilibrium zone after the war premium is wiped out
Three positioning principles:
① Don’t predict, just respond—when oil rises to where it does, I connect there. I don’t know where the top will be, but it will definitely pass through my grid.
② The higher it rises, the more I short—exposure is capped, not infinite adding—this is the line between life and death.
③ Profit means reverting, not predicting—don’t bet on tomorrow’s drop; bet that the premium will eventually fade. Time stands with the bears.
Risk up front: 90% of people who go short die in "being right about direction, but dying before dawn." The only premises of this strategy are two: margin can withstand an extreme spike higher; and the judgment that "the war premium will eventually fade" is correct. Think about how you might lose first, then how you might profit.
Over to you: Within two months, if oil returns to $85, do you set up your grid now, or wait until $120 to short? Drop your oil-price view in the comments.
