Don't ignore the EIA build, even if you like the chart

Biggest mistake I've made trading oil was stubbornness against EIA data. Had a clean technical setup on $WTI a while back, looked like a textbook breakout retest. The EIA came out with a larger-than-expected build, well above consensus, and I brushed it off, convinced the chart would hold. Cost me a decent chunk when the market blew through my stop an hour later. Fundamental data trumps your pretty lines sometimes, especially in commodities.
