Corrected!

Well it looks to me as if it has got out of that horribly steep downtrend channel it's been stuck in this month

Not yet it hasn't.

A bit crude....and the MACD looks much happier.

European oil majors hold Tehran talks

Added again this morning.

Well I took some more at 1840 this morning. I've got enough now so would be grateful if it could turn up for a couple of weeks

My last purchase was in the 1880s and I'm loathed to add more atm.

Loathed or not, I've just added a few more @1833p

How does your MACD look now? Breakout was very shortlived, sadly. Still on my watchlist but am waiting for sub 1800p before investing.

RDSA almost sub 1800p already.

Not so hot now - I may purchase a couple more if it hits 1750p.

Are you buying stock or S/B, CFD?

Looking at the 7 year chart, if it goes sub 1800p, then 1700p looks very likely, imo.

A bit of both - using the SB to hedge FTSE shorts (badly) - 6 FTSE shorts in total yesterday!

High volume today and last day of the month. Not sure what it means but hoping its indicative of the stock about to turn up. Fingers crossed.

Questor/Telegraph: Buy

Sub 1800p now and not looking likely to turn yet, imo.

Well another horrible candle on oil as I write. Thought this had turned but it seems not.

2nd Quarter and Half Year 2015 unaudited results

* Royal Dutch Shell's second quarter 2015 earnings, on a current cost of
supplies (CCS) basis (see Note 2), were $3.4 billion compared with $5.1
billion for the same quarter a year ago.

* Second quarter 2015 CCS earnings excluding identified items (see page 4)
were $3.8 billion compared with $6.1 billion for the second quarter 2014, a
decrease of 37%.

* Compared with the second quarter 2014, CCS earnings excluding identified
items benefited from strong Downstream results reflecting steps taken by
the company to improve financial performance and higher realised refining
margins. In Upstream, earnings were impacted by the significant decline in
oil and gas prices and decreased production volumes, partly offset by lower
costs and depreciation.

* Basic CCS earnings per share excluding identified items decreased by 37%
versus the same quarter last year.

* Cash flow from operating activities for the second quarter 2015 was $6.1
billion, compared with $8.6 billion for the same quarter last year.
Excluding working capital movements, cash flow from operating activities
for the second quarter 2015 was $7.6 billion, compared with $11.0 billion
for the second quarter 2014.

* Total dividends distributed to Royal Dutch Shell plc shareholders in the
quarter were $3.0 billion, of which $0.7 billion were settled under the
Scrip Dividend Programme. No shares were bought back during the second
quarter.

* A second quarter 2015 dividend has been announced of $0.47 per ordinary
share and $0.94 per American Depositary Share ("ADS").
