The best time to trade WTI

The WTI forecast, as a probability

ATR is the average size of an hourly bar at the time of the marker — how much this instrument was moving that day. Everything above assumes a stop on the far side of the range the marker left: the run is measured only until price comes back through it, and a target counts only if it was reached first. The best run is the median — the middle marker — not the average: a handful of runs reach twenty ATR and more, which lifts an average by half again and puts it oddly beside the reach rates under it. A median has to land where those rates cross half; an average does not. The how it works page explains the measurement in full, and what confirmed means.

WTI ranks 16th of 17 on typical run, below the median for this list.

Separately from the markers, and measured the same way: when WTI actually moves — the median fifteen-minute range at every hour of the day, which hours are dead, and where the outsized bars have clustered. And how deep a pullback goes before a trend stops resuming — measured across the other markets, not on WTI, which the study leaves out.

These are descriptions of what price did in the past, on one broker's feed. They are not a backtest and not a forecast: there is no entry rule, no exit rule, no spread and no position sizing in them, and nothing here says what anyone would have earned. Turnmarks is chart analytics, not advice. Trading carries risk, including the loss of your capital.

How to follow WTI

The chart is open without an account, and on the free plan it runs 8 hours behind — the price bars as well as the markers, not just the markers. A subscription removes the delay and sends a Telegram/Discord message the moment a WTI marker appears, if you tick it in the account page. Nothing is sent for instruments you have not chosen. The reading at the top of this page is not delayed for anyone: it is published hourly and served to everybody alike.

WTI forecast

There is not one on this page, and that is deliberate. Nothing here predicts where WTI goes next. Every figure above is a count of what has already happened — after a confirmed marker, or after a pullback of a given depth — on one broker's feed. A frequency describes a past distribution; it does not say what the next bar will do, and anyone selling you the difference is selling you something else.

What is here instead, measured rather than predicted: what a pullback in WTI is worth knowing about, from the markets the study does cover rather than from this one, on pullbacks; which hours it actually moves in; and how far it travels in a typical day, year by year. What you do with those is yours.
