Market Outlook :

S&P 500 – Failure at the swing (RSI), if they go after 2400 today – 401K distribution Monday, Apple buy backs on Tues and Wed. Fed decision.

Per recent reports:

There are significant resistance clusters above recent highs in oil and the S&P so I will be very cautious to upside going forward until recent highs are taken out and confirmed. I see significant upside challenges in Oil and SPY with most recent highs being taken out.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect their math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80% in my trading – all publicly posted live trades).

The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here:$WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index). Our Swing Trading Twitter feed is found here: https://twitter.com/swingtrading_ct.  Our lead trader Twitter feed is here @curtmelonopoly and lead tech developer @hundalSHS.

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):

I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).

Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:

(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.

The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List : $WDC, $SWN, $GOOGL, $MTL $GOOG $SPH $UBS $AMZN $RBS $CNHI $JNUG $MT $GM $SAN $NUGT $VALE $MU $RIO $RIG I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

(2) Pre-market Decliners Watch-List:  $BIDU $ATHN $GIMO $SBUX $JDST $QCOM $SYF $FCEL $TIME $STAY $DUST $SNCR $SWKS $EXPE $DWT I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

(3) Other Watch-List:

(4) Regular Algo Charting Watch-List: Gold $GC_F $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV $SI_F ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F, $UWT, $DWT), Natural Gas $NG_F ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)

(5) Upgrades: $CHKP $IVC $BOKF $LPLA $ALGN $WDC $URI $SAM  as time allows I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

(6) Downgrades: $GWB $AOS $AAWW $BMS $AMZN $EFX $GIMO $MMLP $ALLE $CHDN $ZBH $TEX $COLM $EXPE $AVT $ENTG $X as time allows I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

Study:

For new readers, a review of our unlocked posts on our blog would help you get in to the story we are following with the securities listed in this newsletter.

Free scanners to find momentum stocks that you can easily review charts of for indicators that bring probability of your trade being successful up considerably. These are not useful for first 30 minute market open gap and go type plays (you need a good momentum scanner, level 2, and best to have hot-keys for the first 30 mins of gap and go trading)… but are very useful for intra day scalping and swing trading (start with trending stocks and then look at indicators intra for simple set-ups – study scan study scan study scan).

Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:

Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day)
 

Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:

Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades). 

Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

Hedgehog Trader: morning!
Sartaj: Hi
Curt M: Chart Set-Ups on Watch: $BLMN, $SNAP, $RTW, $JUNO, $GREK
gary y: good morning
Sandra: gm
Sartaj: Greetings, Gary
Spiegel not Speegell: Good morning everyone
Sartaj: Funny name
Spiegel not Speegell: thanks!
Spiegel not Speegell: Hot junky penny stock yesterday and possibly today is AMLH
mat: Ag, silver miner. I like the set up should metals get another leg higher here
mat: The miners have acted so horribly. They play catch up sooner or later IMO. Targets based off of prior moves in 11.5 or 13’s from low 8’s currently
Curt M: Back for open>>>>>>>>>
Curt M: in 1 min sorry sartaj lol
Spiegel not Speegell: can’t wait to see that
Spiegel not Speegell: CYOU 52 week breakout
Spiegel not Speegell: when doing those challenges what % of account do you bet on each trade?
Hedgehog Trader: do you like TWTR? i think it’s a nice contrarian play and chart looking better and better
Hedgehog Trader: 11% short interest on TWTR
mat: PLaying some UWT against the oil lows here. Think we get some lift here
Curt M: Long $CCCR 2.40 2000 test
Spiegel not Speegell: What do I click on in tradingview to get those lists of top gainers?
Spiegel not Speegell: thanks
Leanne: that would be EPIC to watch
Spiegel not Speegell: looking forward to that 2 week challenge
Spiegel not Speegell: will you be offering a service where epic picks the stocks?
Hedgehog Trader: $SINO perky
Spiegel not Speegell: aren’t all those upper wicks a bad sign?
Leanne: $CMO if you get a chance, the 20 crossed the 200, price is above MACD and RSI are up
Spiegel not Speegell: So basically just buy the first retrace of stock that has gone up a lot.
Spiegel not Speegell: mtbc
Curt M: Watching $MTBC VERY CLOSE NOW for 2.00 Break!!!
Curt M: On mic>>>>>>>
Curt M: 2.20 10000 shares legging in checking fill tight stop
Curt M: 2.018 sorry
Curt M: 10000 add 2.106 $MTBC
Curt M: Stop 1.95 set
Curt M: Stop 2.01 set
Curt M: Off mic stop set 2.01 and alarm at 2.24 cya in 30 mins
Curt M: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Curt M: Stopped 2.01 – will re look after lunch $MTBC
Curt M: Sartaj you tell Spiegel about yesterday mid day video?
Sartaj: Totally forgot, I’ll send him the link now
Curt M: Thanks
Curt M: Ya I forgot till now too
Curt M: On mic in 3 mins for mid day review>>>>>>>>>>
Curt M: Sartaj text me if that fellow from yesterday comes in for review if you woudn’t mind pls thx
Sartaj: Sure thing
Curt M: On mic for chart set up review >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
mat: looked to me like saudi/yellen buying down in the low 48’s earlier
Spiegel not Speegell: There’s a program you can download at download.com called Advanced System Care. When you download it at the top right of your screen there’s a RAM cleaner that releases all the excess RAM so your system and the chart lag can be cleared up.
Spiegel not Speegell: So will gold have it’s own 24 hour EPIC trade room and maybe forex too?
Sartaj: So keep in mind, since you mentioned it a bit earlier, each equity has its own algorithm. EPIC is specific to oil, and ROSIE is the one specific to gold. Right now, we don’t have plans for 24-hour gold trading room until oik’s is rolled out
Spiegel not Speegell: thanks Sartaj
Sartaj: No problem. Likewise, we don’t use EPIC or any of the other algorithms to target stock picks (e.g. low float, OTC, etc.)
Sartaj: But that video I sent does give you an idea of the disciplines that are used to generate those models
Spiegel not Speegell: Will you guys be selling wheelbarrows to hold all the money we’ll make trading oil?
Sartaj: so while we don’t focus so much on writing scanner scripts and such at the moment, the basis for the modeling is the same
Sartaj: Haha
Spiegel not Speegell: When the market eventually starts a downtrend, since you don’t short would you be looking to trade the bearish 2X or 3X ETF’s or is there always something to buy?
Leanne: what! no hot cars and trading on the beach with half naked women around you
Sartaj: $36 for the month, Spiegel haha
Spiegel not Speegell: Of course that return assumes no war with North Korea
Leanne: Thanks Curtis
Spiegel not Speegell: see ya!
Curt M: Off mic – tomorrow we’ll run thru list of this chart set up and then next week on to next (likely a trading challenge to double account in 2 weeks)>>>>>>
Curt M: you bet
lenny: thanks
Curt M: Back in 20 mins for afternoon session>>>>>>>>>>>
Leanne: I’ll be back tmr. Off to a fiedltrip to see honey bees with a big group of 5 year olds
Sartaj: The senator has left the building
Sartaj: Won’t say which one it was
Sartaj: Comes in here like clockwork for the midday reviews
Curt M: interesting
Hedgehog Trader: Curt one to watch – fwiw my signals show we could see ESEA bump up tomorrow
Curt M: That would be nice – I hold a small position.
David: $wstc POPPIN
Hedgehog Trader: Curtis just let me know his internet went down
Hedgehog Trader: the room will be online when the backup kicks in

And of course Silver isn’t in the best of shape but will trade somewhat different than Gold. $USOIL, $WTIC tanked like EPIC said it would so we’ll see what range it gets next here – could get a short term pop but it is trending in a downward channel. $DXY under continued pressure as is $VIX.

OTC on watch: $PVCT and $LIGA (I hold) and $BLDV $UPZS $OPMZ $MMEX $AMLH $ACOL $BVTK $USRM

Per recent reports:

There are significant resistance clusters above recent highs in oil and the S&P so I will be very cautious to upside going forward until recent highs are taken out and confirmed. I see significant upside challenges in Oil and SPY with most recent highs being taken out.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, our YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect their math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80% in my trading – all publicly posted live trades).

The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here:$WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index). Our Swing Trading Twitter feed is found here: https://twitter.com/swingtrading_ct.  Our lead trader Twitter feed is here @curtmelonopoly and lead tech developer @hundalSHS.

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):

I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).

Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:

(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.

The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List : $CLWT, $DRYS, $UCTT, $MDGS $EXAS $UA $UAA $MTL $NOK $PYPL $ALXN $YNDX $CMCSA $BMY $LYG $F $FSLR $TAL I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

Study:

For new readers, a review of our unlocked posts on our blog would help you get in to the story we are following with the securities listed in this newsletter.

Free scanners to find momentum stocks that you can easily review charts of for indicators that bring probability of your trade being successful up considerably. These are not useful for first 30 minute market open gap and go type plays (you need a good momentum scanner, level 2, and best to have hot-keys for the first 30 mins of gap and go trading)… but are very useful for intra day scalping and swing trading (start with trending stocks and then look at indicators intra for simple set-ups – study scan study scan study scan).

Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:

Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day)
 

Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:

Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades). 

Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

Optionsavvy: imo of course 😉
Curt M: $CETV only other I have to add to list for open
Spiegel: Just a side note – With a lot of these little penny stocks I give, most are garbage companies. Don’t treat them as buy & holds. Just get in, make your money, and get out.

Curt M: $AKBA watching for either break of 14 the clear dollar or look at it over lunch for an proper entry for afternoon. Got out because of 13.75 on deck – the .75 quarter.
Spiegel: IS PVCT from the swing trade section to or just this room?
Curt M: just going to add as I can and hope $PVCT … its a small play
Curt M: Like total I will be in if fully in is 3000.00 and right now I’m in 20% – so for my account its small
Curt M: It’s a trending play that I just like the trend on it. Think it will continue in trend.
Market Maven: I was in $AKBA with you and now $PVCT small also and I know Len was too – nice and thanks. We’re out $AKBA right now also.
Sartaj: Curt has to take some calls. We are going to begin the midday review at 12:05 PM EST at the latest.
Curt M: Back so if there are any charts you’d like to review put em in here. Start in 5 mins.
Curt M: On mic for review>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Curt M: one min sorry
Sartaj: lol
Leanne: lightbulb going off, but before I try at home I need to learn more about fibs and then how to build this matrix.
Leanne: who knew you could teach an old dog new tricks!
Leanne: OMG Curtis!
Leanne: Can we create the matrix with TV? Have the free version, does that work or we need the paid version?
Sartaj: You can use Fibonacci Retracement, trend lines, and those technicals on the left hand side in TV
Sartaj: So yeah, you can create matrices in the free version
Sartaj: but if you want to layer Squeeze Momentum, MACD, RSI, etc., you need the paid version
Leanne: I have TC2000 so will try on there, never got into fibs yet so big learning curve for me today
Sartaj: Yeah
Sartaj: Most, if not all, modern platforms will let you do what he just did
Sartaj: Too bad Spiegel missed that
Leanne: ok, already paying for TC2000 and I like it, am used to it so will try building a matrix on it
Sartaj: And Bernard, how’s it going?
Leanne: I would like to sign up for a modelling class!
Leanne: he did! Thanks Sartaj
Leanne: thanks Curtis
robert g: i saw where you mentioned your 92% market calling meter, what is that about?
Sartaj: That was something called… a joke. But if you want to check out our P/L ledgers for Q1 2017, check out the website: https://compoundtrading.com
Sartaj: We are also working on algorithm-specific P/L reports
Leanne: OMG you just made me week Curtis
Leanne: you have no idea
Sartaj: That being said, if you follow EPIC’s feeds in any capacity, you’ll realize, and there are live videos you can watch, of our algorithm-generated price/time targets being hit, in real-time
Leanne: I’m like jumping up and down
Sartaj: The latest call was this resistance cluster that was called a week in advance, and we were running our predictions contrary to what the market wanted/was saying. They were anticipating a recovery, and our model showed a crash coming
Sartaj: and both targets were directly hit earlier today in the room
Leanne: OMG Curtis I did one!!!!!
Sartaj: It’s also worth noting that you don’t want to overfit your data model. Make sure that your tops and bottoms are confirmed first… use more than just a couple of points when you’re applying your trend lines on the chart
Sartaj: “Overfitting” is an important study in statistics that’s worth investing some time into. Wikipedia’s article is pretty good
Sartaj: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting
Market Maven: Just publishing charts now to share so if anyone wants the indicators or whatever you can use link. Then I trade.
Curt M: Thanks Maven
Sartaj: Leanne, imo math starts with a trip to the art museum, but all things considered, the trading platform you use should already have trend lines built-in, and then really, the only other thing you might want to check is for retracements
Market Maven: He yells I type
Sartaj: if you can’t find them, DM me on twitter, and I can help you do some research
Curt M: Was Speigel not in room?
Sartaj: He wasn’t, unfortunately
Sartaj: he would have loved that
Sartaj: If anyone has feedback, you can email me at [email protected] I see we have the usual suspects in the room today
Curt M: Just send him a note maybe with the link – he’s all about it you’re right
Sartaj: Sure thing
Sartaj: Should have been #FreedomTraders, Curt. M was missing when you get this msg
Curt M: lol
Sartaj: oh well
Curt M: by the time I do 6000 of them I’ll have the hashtag for all the long tail mispells
Curt M: I’m not stypid
Curt M: i thought that was funny anyway
Sartaj: I just thought, Curt is an octopus
Curt M: Did Robert leave?
Sartaj: He left as soon as you signed off the mic
Curt M: I won”t say it
Shafique: $FUEL popping
Rick: trading view chat is funny sometimes
Sartaj: It’s interesting to see what they talk about when they’re not gambling
Sartaj: Twitter bots are also funny, when they start mass mailing pumps
Sartaj: Or on Monday, there was a slew of conspiracy theories
Curt M: Wow $MTBC 220%
Flash G: $MOMO on its trail non stop chugging along
Shafique: Got a bit on that $MTBC dump – next
Curt M: $RTIX hit the upside resistance I mentioned at luch and backed off.
Leanne: so I watch and stalk
OILK: yes nice chart leanne
Leanne: Curtis, BLMN, the 20 is crossing the 200, the MACD seems to be good, it’s not as swoopy as I’d like but would love your thoughts if you have time.
Leanne: Thank you OILK. I am truly humbled by this amazing group and don’t feel in any way like I’ll be in the same league but trying my best. My beach is back East on the Atlantic Ocean. That’s my goal. My freedom.
OILK: excellent
Curt M: Great set up – main 2 problems are earnings after market so wait for that and make sure over resistance before long
OILK: The reason you don’t see a lot of losng in this group is we trade predictable set ups. Sure Sykes type have set ups but those type of set ups arent easily reproducable – its hard for others to do it without blowing up their accounts in the learning process – we trade predictability
OILK: $BLMN fits the set up
OILK: It looks good
Dan: agree
Leanne: Thanks. Sykes was my intro into the trading world, I paid a HUGE price. This is my home now.
Dan: awesome
OILK: Sykes is good but hard to reproduce very hard
Leanne: So watching BLMN for after earnings and JUNO is where you talked about earlier? Looks like hitting a buy mark?
Leanne: I”m an old cat (same age as Curtis), lots of kids, lots of universities ahead of me to pay for. I’m after long term, consistent, lower risk plays. Compounding wins!
Curt M: $JUNO you have to wait for 20 MA to cross 200 MA and price above
OILK: Same story as our core group
OILK: its a good fit
Leanne: 🙂
Curt M: They are all at resistance lol – but the setups are there. $BLMN $SNAP $JUNO $RTIX
Curt M: So they have to confirm up or cool off and then the trade is when they’ve cooled and go
Curt M: Unfortunately they all have to pop or drop for a trade – but they’re set up thats the important part

UNFORTUNATELY OUR AFTERNOON SESSION TRANSCRIPT ISN’T AVAILABLE – This platform requires us to copy and past it and that will likely cause us to continue testing other platforms because it is simply not feasible.

Good morning!

This report updates buy, sell, holds for the stock picks on this list. 

IT IS THE CONTINUATION of recently published – I didn’t finish on last publication going through the whole list below.

We are stepping up the rotation cycle with more frequent updates going forward and we are going to categorize our trades soon because we are covering many more stocks than we expected when we first started the service. And shortly thereafter our swing trading alert service will launch – currently we update by newsletter only and not by alert (the alert service addition is about 45 days out).

Mar 7, 2017 – Watching close for a bounce. Stoch RSI on chart is near bottom so on high watch here.

Feb 27, 2017 – Trading at 43.72 this beat up sector seems to be ripe for a bounce. If we execute a trade on Monday it will be to test the waters and watch the market sentiment day to day – this and price action will determine how long we are in it. An interim target however would be 46.80 and would likely change as the trade progresses.

Feb 27, 2017 – “Eagles Materials Posted Record Revenues, Record Net Earnings and Record Net Earnings per Diluted Share. Its stock grew 60% in 2016 and still looks cheap.”

Eagle Materials is a riskier play than most we will add to our swing portfolio, but our DD on this one has us excited and we likely will take a long position early this week with a target of minimum 10% upside in next 90 days. We will however keep our stop tight.

Mar 7, 2017 – It hasn’t got its bounce yet – still watching. Trading at 6.00.

Feb 27, 2017 – We find the $FIT trade interesting. Although we would never otherwise consider it and if we do enter today a long position it will be looked at as short term, we think there may be opportunity to swing trade it because it should be much lower considering its recent quarter… lower in that we expected a panic that did not occur. This seems bullish, or at minimum a likely “bargain” in our opinion.

April 11 – Holding from 6.95 2000 shares. Trading 6.31 and may have to cut at loss if oil resistance on deck holds.

Mar 27 – Hold. Trading 5.38

Mar 19 – It’s a bad trade but the MACD is so close to the bottom that we are holding for a bounce. One of our few bad swings in 2017.

Mar 12, 2017 – $NE Trade has turned against us with a sell signal on MACD. Holding on conviction. We believe it is near over-sold and this sector of the industry is near a turn in profit divergence.

Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long per Feb 22, 2017. Trading at 847.27.

Feb 22, 2017 – We entered a long position starter at 848.91 200 shares. Stops will be managed manually and will be held tight until trade is to upside of current range. Pensive about short term market range.

Feb 21, 2017 – Price is to the topside of the break-out and I will likely enter a long position over the next day or two. Bullish on this stock.

Feb 12, 2017 – We still like the $GOOGL stock / chart. Price recently broke to the upside of the triangle and didn’t hold but is threatening to trade above again at Friday close. We’re watching for an upside break that holds for an entry or a visit to the 200 MA (pink line) for an entry.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: We expect a signal from the Trump camp soon (late this week), and if positive, this will be a very strong play – watch close! This needs to be high on your radar going forward!

We like this chart. Watch for an upside break out of the triangle. The principles apply the same to $GOOG and $GOOGL charts fyi. Also, watch the MACD close, it looks primed for a move. Earnings are Thursday. If price breaks to downside I will update with levels to watch. Also, the is a chart below that shows upside target.

April 11 – Trading 909.40 holding 100 shares from 822.72. When MACD and SQZMOM return to bottom and turn up I will likely add 100 long. Missed an execution on last dip.

Mar 27 – Hold trading at 845.39. Mar 21 lost 20 MA and almost sold but did not. Loss of 20 MA is a concern. Watching for 50 MA failure.

Mar 19 – Trading 852.31 holding. MACD pinching to downside so this is a concern.

Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long and may add on dips now. Trading at 846.46.

Feb 21, 2017 – Trading at 839.48 in premarket we’re on the right side of this swing so far. Depending on price action I will look to add at pull backs. Very bullish this stock.

Feb 12, 2017 – Trade Alert! We entered a trade long at a cost average 822.72 for 100 shares as soon as price was upside the 20 MA. This is an aggressive trade (being that we didn’t wait for a pull-back to 50, 100 or 200). We have a tight stop on the trade at 804.00 (just below its recent low (this would be a broken trade in our opinion at that point). So we are hoping this week is a strong week for Amazon. If not our aggressive move will cost us.

$AMZN Amazon Swing Trading Member Chart – Compound Trading

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We haven’t got a pull back to the 200 day and depending on how tech does with Trump we may or may not, however, in overnight trade (premarket) price is close to the 100 day and I may take a test long position. This is one of our favorite picks so we will be quite aggressive with our attempts to get in at an inflection – so we are thinking sometime in the next few days looks decent.

My fourth priority is Amazon. I don’t want to over simplify this trade – but the bottom line is I’m looking for a pull-back and an entry as close to that 200 day (pink line with green arrow) as possible. I don’t think this stock will stop anytime soon. DD to follow soon.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: $JUNO since my first entry mid December 2016 has consistently moved in an upward trend, and from that perspective has been a good stock pick. But it hasn’t been excellent like many of my other picks. It does have a gap fill coming soon so if you are long I would ratchet up your stops as you near 22.70 area.

Feb 22, 2017 – We closed our long positions in late trade and extended hours at 5.01 average.

Feb 21, 2017 – It is trading at 3.90 in premarket and recently as high as 4.23. Holding.

Feb 12, 2017 – This stock hasn’t slowed down since our entry at 2.59 (10000 shares) and doesn’t seem to want to return to the trendline support so our swing trade members can get in. It is trading perfectly in our prescribed range (albeit at the top) and closed at 3.90 on Friday – we have a 5.57 PT on it so I don’t if it is best to enter now – I wouldn’t unless it returns to the support line but some of the more aggressive swing trading members may want to consider it. Also, we will be ratcheting stops before earnings and even though earnings are expected to be strong we likely will not hold through earnings (or if we do it will be with tight stops).

$CBMX Swing Trade Stock Pick Doing Well up 50% Now.

My second priority is $CBMX. I am already in this swing and plan to enter in dips at the diagonal trend line (blue). Initial target area is around 5.57 with much greater potential upside. The Trump factor may cause this to come off a bit so my bias is toward late spring for first price target.

Feb 21, 2017 – We closed our position last week at 46.04 because sentiment in this sector started to turn. We may look at a re-entry, however, we are waiting for the crude oil resistance test to play out and would like to monitor sentiment.

Feb 12, 2017 – This has been a fantastic swing trade and many of our members have profited from it. We are holding and have moved up stops to a 5% drop.

It is currently trading at 45.70 and is up considerably for our members – our 2017 price target was 49.58 and our short term price targets were easily met.

It is also currently trading just above its 200 MA so we are watching close – if it loses the 200 MA we will exit likely. So if you are thinking of adding or a long trade here you want to watch the 200 MA.

$OAK OakTree Capital Group Swing Trading Alert for Members has done well with 25% gains in 2017

Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (OAK) today announced that it will report fourth quarter and full year 2016 financial results prior to the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday, February 7, 2017.

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/oaktree-schedules-fourth-quarter-full-133000267.html

Was trading at 37.57 – 38.00 when we originally started to look at it, currently trades at 41.65.

42.71 – 43.50 is our short term swing target (less than 3 months).

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! $OAK has met this swing trade target for our members – caution forward please!

49.58 is our 2017 target. No target date.

Our traders will be watching earnings (much like we did with Google last week and we will be doing with Amazon this week). Pending earnings and price action this will be when we enter a trade. Some of our swing traders have obviously seen decent gains since we first put this on our swing trading list a number of weeks back (good timing actually), but our traders have not taken a position yet.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We never did get that pull back, and I appreciate the notes from members that have done well with this swing nonetheless! However, caution is warranted entering this play with-out a pull-back.

My fifth priority is $SLCA. Again, another simple chart and it will require some patience. I see a pull-back coming and huge upside under the Trump inertia in to summer. I am looking for a pull-back to the 50 day (yellow arrow) or the 100 day preferably (blue arrow). If it gets away on me I’ll likely chase it and scale in 1/5th at a time.

March 27 – Same. Hold. Will add at bottom of MACD turn and other indicators turn.

March 19 – Trading 1.41 holding.

Mar 12, 2017 – Holding position. MACD turned down and will add when MACD turns up. Holding 2000 at 1.50 trading at 1.36. Near the stop loss area but for myself this is a conviction trade based on Trump and this specific company. It is also a relatively small position.

Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:

Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day)
 

Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:

Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades). 

Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

rob: ?
Spiegel: For daytrading stocks, should we always have the charts set to extended hours? I notice if you use just trading hours like most charting systems you get different MAs.
Spiegel: …which means the 20 would cross the 200 at a different point.

Morning momentum stocks on watch so far: Premarket Leaderboard: $CATB, $NORD, $CANF, $CAPR

Markets: $SPY $ES_F $SPX testing significant resistance, $GLD, $GDX are both under continued pressure – thinking $DGLD and $DUST. And of course Silver isn’t in the best of shape but will trade different than Gold. $USOIL, $WTIC tanked like EPIC said it would so we’ll see what range it gets next here – could get a short term pop but it is trending in a downward channel (again EPIC predicted and published in advance).

From the Swing Trading Platform:

$GOOGL 879.00. Long 859.01 when MACD turn up SQZMOM turn green 20 MA punch thru 50 MA w price above? Wow what a champ move. #swingtrading

$LITE Earnings 9 days, Daily. MACD turn up? Price needs over 20MA and 50 MA and further confirmation. #earnings #watch #swingtrading

$XRT Trade going well. Long 41.67 Apr 10. Holding on MACD trend & SQZMOM trend. Short term Stoch RSI may come off. 200 MA test #swingtrading

Holds: Most holds are small to mid size holds in this order according to sizing: $ONTX, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI, $LIGA

Market Outlook :

NA

Per recent reports:

There are significant resistance clusters above recent highs in oil and the S&P so I will be very cautious to upside going forward until recent highs are taken out and confirmed. I see significant upside challenges in Oil and SPY with most recent highs being taken out.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, our YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect their math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80% in my trading – all publicly posted live trades).

The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here:$WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index).

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):

I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).

Some of my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.

The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List :Premarket Leaderboard: $CATB, $NORD, $CANF, $CAPR 16%, $UIS $CTIC $LLNW $APFH $MDR $QURE $PRTK $STRP $CAT $MVIS $IONS $BIIB I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

Study:

For new readers, a review of our unlocked posts on our blog would help you get in to the story we are following with the securities listed in this newsletter.

Free scanners to find momentum stocks that you can easily review charts of for indicators that bring probability of your trade being successful up considerably. These are not useful for first 30 minute market open gap and go type plays (you need a good momentum scanner, level 2, and best to have hot-keys for the first 30 mins of gap and go trading)… but are very useful for intra day scalping and swing trading (start with trending stocks and then look at indicators intra for simple set-ups – study scan study scan study scan).

We are stepping up the rotation cycle with more frequent updates going forward and we are going to categorize our trades soon because we are covering many more stocks than we expected when we first started the service. And shortly thereafter our swing trading alert service will launch – currently we update by newsletter only and not by alert (the alert service addition is about 45 days out).

$XRT MACD still on sell but Stoch RSI (see other chart) is pinching at bottom of range. On watch.

Mar 7, 2017 – Watching close for a bounce. Stoch RSI on chart is near bottom so on high watch here.

Feb 27, 2017 – Trading at 43.72 this beat up sector seems to be ripe for a bounce. If we execute a trade on Monday it will be to test the waters and watch the market sentiment day to day – this and price action will determine how long we are in it. An interim target however would be 46.80 and would likely change as the trade progresses.

Feb 27, 2017 – “Eagles Materials Posted Record Revenues, Record Net Earnings and Record Net Earnings per Diluted Share. Its stock grew 60% in 2016 and still looks cheap.”

Eagle Materials is a riskier play than most we will add to our swing portfolio, but our DD on this one has us excited and we likely will take a long position early this week with a target of minimum 10% upside in next 90 days. We will however keep our stop tight.

Mar 7, 2017 – It hasn’t got its bounce yet – still watching. Trading at 6.00.

Feb 27, 2017 – We find the $FIT trade interesting. Although we would never otherwise consider it and if we do enter today a long position it will be looked at as short term, we think there may be opportunity to swing trade it because it should be much lower considering its recent quarter… lower in that we expected a panic that did not occur. This seems bullish, or at minimum a likely “bargain” in our opinion.

April 11 – Holding from 6.95 2000 shares. Trading 6.31 and may have to cut at loss if oil resistance on deck holds.

Mar 27 – Hold. Trading 5.38

Mar 19 – It’s a bad trade but the MACD is so close to the bottom that we are holding for a bounce. One of our few bad swings in 2017.

Mar 12, 2017 – $NE Trade has turned against us with a sell signal on MACD. Holding on conviction. We believe it is near over-sold and this sector of the industry is near a turn in profit divergence.

Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long per Feb 22, 2017. Trading at 847.27.

Feb 22, 2017 – We entered a long position starter at 848.91 200 shares. Stops will be managed manually and will be held tight until trade is to upside of current range. Pensive about short term market range.

Feb 21, 2017 – Price is to the topside of the break-out and I will likely enter a long position over the next day or two. Bullish on this stock.

Feb 12, 2017 – We still like the $GOOGL stock / chart. Price recently broke to the upside of the triangle and didn’t hold but is threatening to trade above again at Friday close. We’re watching for an upside break that holds for an entry or a visit to the 200 MA (pink line) for an entry.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: We expect a signal from the Trump camp soon (late this week), and if positive, this will be a very strong play – watch close! This needs to be high on your radar going forward!

We like this chart. Watch for an upside break out of the triangle. The principles apply the same to $GOOG and $GOOGL charts fyi. Also, watch the MACD close, it looks primed for a move. Earnings are Thursday. If price breaks to downside I will update with levels to watch. Also, the is a chart below that shows upside target.

April 20 – Trading 900.29. Hold per below.

April 11 – Trading 909.40 holding 100 shares from 822.72. When MACD and SQZMOM return to bottom and turn up I will likely add 100 long. Missed an execution on last dip.

Mar 27 – Hold trading at 845.39. Mar 21 lost 20 MA and almost sold but did not. Loss of 20 MA is a concern. Watching for 50 MA failure.

Mar 19 – Trading 852.31 holding. MACD pinching to downside so this is a concern.

Mar 12, 2017 – $AMZN Amazon Swing Trade going well. In at 822.72 trading 852.46. MACD on sell will add when MACD bottoms and turns (will advise).

$AMZN Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review. Long Feb 10 822.72 100 Shares. Unrealized gain 2930.00. Hold.

Mar 7, 2017 – Holding long and may add on dips now. Trading at 846.46.

Feb 21, 2017 – Trading at 839.48 in premarket we’re on the right side of this swing so far. Depending on price action I will look to add at pull backs. Very bullish this stock.

Feb 12, 2017 – Trade Alert! We entered a trade long at a cost average 822.72 for 100 shares as soon as price was upside the 20 MA. This is an aggressive trade (being that we didn’t wait for a pull-back to 50, 100 or 200). We have a tight stop on the trade at 804.00 (just below its recent low (this would be a broken trade in our opinion at that point). So we are hoping this week is a strong week for Amazon. If not our aggressive move will cost us.

$AMZN Amazon Swing Trading Member Chart – Compound Trading

Feb 7, 2017 Member Alert! We haven’t got a pull back to the 200 day and depending on how tech does with Trump we may or may not, however, in overnight trade (premarket) price is close to the 100 day and I may take a test long position. This is one of our favorite picks so we will be quite aggressive with our attempts to get in at an inflection – so we are thinking sometime in the next few days looks decent.

My fourth priority is Amazon. I don’t want to over simplify this trade – but the bottom line is I’m looking for a pull-back and an entry as close to that 200 day (pink line with green arrow) as possible. I don’t think this stock will stop anytime soon. DD to follow soon.

Feb 7, 2017 Member Update: $JUNO since my first entry mid December 2016 has consistently moved in an upward trend, and from that perspective has been a good stock pick. But it hasn’t been excellent like many of my other picks. It does have a gap fill coming soon so if you are long I would ratchet up your stops as you near 22.70 area.

Feb 21, 2017 – It is trading at 3.90 in premarket and recently as high as 4.23. Holding.

Feb 12, 2017 – This stock hasn’t slowed down since our entry at 2.59 (10000 shares) and doesn’t seem to want to return to the trendline support so our swing trade members can get in. It is trading perfectly in our prescribed range (albeit at the top) and closed at 3.90 on Friday – we have a 5.57 PT on it so I don’t if it is best to enter now – I wouldn’t unless it returns to the support line but some of the more aggressive swing trading members may want to consider it. Also, we will be ratcheting stops before earnings and even though earnings are expected to be strong we likely will not hold through earnings (or if we do it will be with tight stops).

My second priority is $CBMX. I am already in this swing and plan to enter in dips at the diagonal trend line (blue). Initial target area is around 5.57 with much greater potential upside. The Trump factor may cause this to come off a bit so my bias is toward late spring for first price target.

Feb 21, 2017 – We closed our position last week at 46.04 because sentiment in this sector started to turn. We may look at a re-entry, however, we are waiting for the crude oil resistance test to play out and would like to monitor sentiment.

Feb 12, 2017 – This has been a fantastic swing trade and many of our members have profited from it. We are holding and have moved up stops to a 5% drop.

It is currently trading at 45.70 and is up considerably for our members – our 2017 price target was 49.58 and our short term price targets were easily met.

It is also currently trading just above its 200 MA so we are watching close – if it loses the 200 MA we will exit likely. So if you are thinking of adding or a long trade here you want to watch the 200 MA.

S&P 500 $SPY Trade Update Tuesday April 25, 2017 $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS) Algorithmic Charting Observations

Good morning! My name is Freedom the $SPY Algo. Welcome to my new S&P trade report for Compound Trading.

April 25, 2017 – The upside price extension predicted has now hit to near the penny! New extension price targets below.

Live $SPY Chart representing current extensions:

New upside and downside price extensions. S&P 500 $SPY Symmetry price target extensions, trade quadrants, Fibonacci. Trade Charting Tues April 25 518 AM $ES_F $SPXL, $SPXS

Notes with respect to $SPY Price Extensions and Targets

Recent Trade – $SPY price action has been hitting our upside price extension targets for months now. The chart above includes the price extension targets for upward and downward trade.

Trading just the price extension targets we have provided on the upside and downside has proven a very profitable signal.

Also of importance, in addition to trading the price extensions, our traders have found the Fib resistance and support on the chart and the algorithmic quadrants excellent signals intra-day for support and resistance.

Fibonacci – The Fibonacci levels have been predictable so we are leaving them as they are.

Trading Quadrants – The trading quadrants have become predictable – we are leaving them as they are.

Symmetry Extension Targets – The extension price targets we have published the last number of months now have hit the price targets to upside and downside near perfect so they are becoming very predictable! Trade the outside ranges for optimum return and predictability.

Most probable downside price target if trade is in a downtrend is in 233.33 area before a decision.

Most probable upside price target if trade is in an uptrend is in 241.50 area before a decision.

Time / Price Cycles – There are currently no significant cycles in the charting.

Trading Bias – Although the warning below is still in place, our traders do have considerable high expectations that previous highs will be tested and / or taken out soon. Unless of course a geo political situation arises to derail the market. IN THE SHORT TERM HOWEVER price is expected to rest some after the recent break out.

Warning per recent reports;

This is a considerable warning because price has not traded above previous high since we alerted members to this divergence in the algorithm: Current bias is to the upside target, however, there is a divergence in the upward trade extension makes the target a double topped target, which is divergent from recent trade, which does cause us to pause.

Good luck with your trades and look forward to seeing you in the room!

Tuesday April 25, 2017 EPIC the Oil Algo Oil Report (Member Edition). FX: $USOIL $WTIC – $USO $CL_F $UWT $DWT $UCO $SCO $ERX $ERY $GUSH $DRIP

Welcome to my new FX: $USOIL $WTI oil trade report. My name is EPIC the Oil Algo and I am one of six Algorithmic Charting services in development at Compound Trading.

NOTICES:

MULTI-USERS: Institutional / commercial platform now available.

PATENT PHASE: I am now in patent application phase. Stay tuned for agreements concerning disclosure and use coming to members.

24 HOUR TRADE ROOM: My charting transitions from FX $USOIL $WTI to 24hr crude oil futures in 2017 and will have 24 hr crude oil trade room.

SOFTWARE: My algorithmic charting is going to developer coding phase early 2017 for our trader’s dashboard program. Please review my algorithm development process and about my oil algorithm story on our website www.compoundtrading.com and my oil algo charting posts on my Twitter feed and this blog.

HOW MY ALGORITHM WORKS: I am an algorithm in development. My math is based on traditional indicators (up to fifty at any given time each weighted on win ratio merit – all not shown on chart at any given time) – such as simple math calculations relating to price and volume, Fibonacci, simple pivots, moving averages, Gann, Schiff and various other charting, geometric and mathematical factors. I do not yet have AI or Geo Political integration – only math as it relates to traditional indicators with the primary goal being probabilities. I am not a high frequency or bot type algorithm – I am represented on and used on a traditional trading chart as one would normally use as a probability indicator. The goal is to provide our trader’s with an edge when triggering entries and exits on trades with instruments that rely on the price of crude oil (specifically FX: $USOIL $WTI and transitioning to futures in our new 24 hour oil trading room).

Below you will find my simplified view of levels that can be used on a traditional chart (both intra-day and as a swing trader or investor). This work, and subsequent trading, should be considered one decision at a time, “if this happens then this or this are my targets”… price – trigger – trade and so on. Questions to; [email protected], message our lead trader on Twitter, or message a lead trader privately in the trade room.

FX: $USOIL $WTI Observations:

The first two charts below are new and the link to the chart is new. However, I have left charts and comments from previous posts because the signals remain the same.

New observations per the new charts below are;

  1. The downward trending bias our traders are using in trade previously described is in fact proving out.
  2. The downward trending channel I had predicted is proving out in trade.
  3. More specifically the bottom wall of the predicted channel has in fact manifested, tested and confirmed (orange circle).
  4. I have added a few possible algo targets for the Tues, Wed and Fri target times. The targets ARE SOFT TARGETS and NOT PREDICTABLE in this channel YET.

Please see previous report comments below for trading support and resistance considerations.

Below is the link for the live EPIC the Oil Algo Live Trading Chart for Tuesday April 25, 2017:

Intra-day Crude Oil Trading Range: At time of writing FX $USOIL $WTI is trading at 50.73 at 3:26 AM EST Apr 24, 2017. Some thoughts with respect to traditional charting that may help advance the trading edge:

At time of post oil FX $USOIL $WTI is trading at 49.84.

The upper range resistance and downdraft per my post warnings the last number of weeks has now played out.

Below are the new algorithmic chart modeling calculated trading range signals. Please keep in mind that the downdraft in oil trade was significant so the calculations are interim and intraday and are likely to be modified over the next few days. In other words, take trades one decision at a time.

First most important signal is that trade is now confirmed to be trading in a new lower broad quadrant. This quadrant contains a range of trade in FX $USOIL $WTI between 47.61 as support and 51.00 as resistance. As I have explained in previous reports, this broad range support and resistance areas are zone areas, in other words they are not hard targets – consider them soft (or areas of support and resistance). They are represented on the chart as thick grey lines (horizontal) marked with grey arrows and are in the charts below. You can be most confident trading short at resistance (once confirmed) and secondary moderately confident entering long at the support area. But remember, trade often over-shoots support and resistance for a brief time (this has been observed in my reporting and oil trade consistently).

The next most important area of support and resistance are the diagonal dotted grey lines. The thicker the line the more important it is. A new downtrend channel is being established and is represented by thicker dotted diagonal lines that are marked with grey arrows. The other diagonal dotted grey lines are important for intraday support and resistance also, but not so much. If trade breaches the downward channel outlined you can consider the channel broken and would be updated. There are two solid white diagonal line arrows that represent / show the width of the new channel (at this point).

You will of course find standard horizontal support and resistance represented as different colored lines (purple and yellow being conventional charting support and resistance) and the others representing Fibonacci levels.

The algo targets (red circles) are very preliminary in this new range and should not be traded against – only observed as reference.

Our traders will be trading the upper resistance areas short (at channel and at horizontal resistance grey thick line). They will also trade the support of the channel long very cautiously and the support of thick grey line at 47.61 with moderate caution because their bias is short. When the take a trade long or short off resistance or support they will use the Fib lines as intra-day test areas for resistance and support.

If you are a new member it is highly recommended that you spend some time reviewing the history of this work and how you can use it most to your advantage.

Multi Week Trading Range for Swing Trading:

Note: Be careful with the prices you see in the purple boxes on the right of the chart – they do not line up on chart for price action (they are for indicators).

Trade the ranges noted above.

Diagonal Trend Lines:

Diagonal trend-lines (blue). Diagonal trend-lines are critical inflection points. Please review many of my recent posts so you can learn about how important these diagonal trend-lines are. If one is breached you can look to pull-back to next diagonal blue trend line about 90% of the time. Also pay attention to how thick the lines are – the thicker the line the more important because they represent extensions from previous time / price cycles.

Remember you can come in to the chat room to message the trader and REMEMBER I have posted a live chart link earlier in this post so if you can’t see the lines well on this chart above you can go to the live chart link and watch for member live algo chart links through-out the day in your email inbox!

The diagonal trend-lines are marked on main chart above.

Conventional Charting Observations: 

Oil got a bit of a bounce off its 200 MA – but you want to watch the supports at the two other white arrows – VERY IMPORTANT. Especially if they coincide with algorithmic model charting.

Careful with that 50 MA crosses the 100 MA – you want those opposite to be bullish. Careful price stays above them also. Price above 200 MA. Stoch RSI at top so it would make sense for it to come off soon.

Fibonacci Levels:

Watch the lines for support and resistance. Careful using them as traditional retracement levels with crude because the algo lines etc are more dominant / predictable. But the Fib lines are excellent indicators for intra-day trade support and resistance.

The Fibonacci lines are marked on main chart above.

Horizontal Trend-Lines (purple):

Horizontal trend-lines are not as important as the other indicators reviewed above, however, they do serve as important resistance and support intra-day for tight trading and they are important if thick (in other words they come from previous time / price cycles). WE STARTED TO REPRESENT THE REALLY IMPORTANT LINES IN YELLOW FYI FOR EASE. Refer to chart for current applicable horizontal trend-lines.

Horizontal trend-lines are marked on charts above.

Oil Time / Price Cycles:

Watch your email and / or my Twitter feed for time price cycles they may start to terminate.

Time / price cycles are the single most important indicator and my record calling them is near 100% – since inception seven months ago. The reason they are so important is that a trader does not want to be holding a crude oil instrument at termination of a time cycle if not absolutely sure if price will go up or down. A trade may choose to enter a large position in advance of a time price cycle termination IF THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF A DIRECTION IN PRICE and if the market is trading at a really important pivot area. In other words, if the market is trading at the bottom of the upward trending channel at a support (yellow lines) and we knew there was a significant probability of a time cycle about to terminate a trader may enter with a long position. The price really spikes or drops significantly when these important time cycles terminate.

The problem with time / price cycle terminations is they change from minute to minute (depending on where price is on the chart) so you have to be in the trade room to get the alert. Our lead traders will do everything they can in future to send these on SMS but we have to be careful because it can be difficult with so much going on in the room. The reason they (time cycles) change is because they are actually represented by or are geometric shapes in the chart – I know it sounds odd but I have (as I mentioned) hit these calls just shy of 100%. The oil political people know the same algorithmic modeling principles and they ALWAYS TIME THEIR BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS AROUND THE TIME PRICE CYCLE TERMINATIONS.

So if you can picture a triangle on the chart – and price is trading in the triangle – and price is going to come to the edge of the triangle and there is a significant support or resistance or an algo line terminating there too or a target (those type of indications)… then we know there is a high probability of a time and price change. In other words, it is where there are clusters of algorithm points that cross and when price is going to cross over that cluster is where they are. And these are represented on all the different time frames – the larger the time frame – the larger the time price cycle termination – the larger the spike or downdraft. This is where we establish our intra-day quadrants from for sniping trades (which we will put in to the room soon because it looks like the geo political rhetoric is over for a while making them more predictable). Difficult to explain in short. So we will do our best to SMS alert these in future.

Also, the real large or important time / price cycle terminations we know far in advance and they can be put in these newsletters.

If you review my Epic the Oil Algo Twitter feed, my blog posts and my story on our website you will get a feel for how accurate these calls are.

Alpha Algo Trading Trend-Lines (Primary – Red dotted lines. Secondary – White dotted lines):

To determine which algo line is most alpha (or probable) intra day, it is the nearest line to price action. This can also help you determine the trend of trade. If the algo line is trending up the price will follow it up until price is tested at an algorithm indicator (the main tests are diagonal trendlines, horizontal trendlines, time / price cycles etc – as I have shared with you). This is why it is important to watch all the lines because they are all support and resistance. To keep it simple trade the range (yellow lines) as I’ve mentioned but keep an eye on these indicators.

Current Alpha Algo Targets (Red circles):

Your closest target that crude is trending toward is always the most probable. Crude is currently trending toward a target (red circles on chart) Then, your second most probable is the one that is up or down trend depending on whether general price is in an upward or downtrend for the most recent week or so and what your other indicators look like (such as the MA’s I explained above).

The other way to determine which targets are in play is actually quite simple, you will notice that crude trades between the channel lines up and down and up and down and there are various support and resistance along the way. If it hits a target at the top of the channel you can bet most times (unless the next day like today) that the next target hit will be at the bottom of the channel.

Wait for the price to trend toward a target and take your position and watch as price gets closer and closer to the target. Remember, that the machines trade from decision to decision – or in other words from support to next resistance or resistance to next support or when the times come each week on Tuesday Wednesday and Friday they will trend toward the target that market price action determines they go to.

Our lead trader will explain more in the room and do not hesitate to ask our lead trader in the room by private message or on twitter to explain intra day decisions.

Oil Intra-Day Algo Trading Quadrants (white dotted lines):

Intra-day trading quadrants are available on all time – cycles and all of them are not detailed on this charting. The charting above represents the 30 minute trading quadrants. If you require tighter time-frames please email us and we will update charting for the time cycle you are looking for.

Trading quadrants are simply support and resistance lines that can assist your intra-day trading – they are not alpha or primary support and resistance by any measure. Price action does however typically move more assertively when leaving a trading quadrant.

Indicator Methods:

As explained above, my algorithm is a consideration of up to fifty traditional indicators at any one time – each one given its own weight in accordance to its accuracy (win rate). This is how we establish the probability of specific targets hitting (we call them alpha algo targets).

Alpha Algo Targets, Algo Trend-lines, Algo Timing, Quadrants for Intra Snipes:

Algo targets are the red circles – they correspond with important times each week in oil reporting land. Tuesday 4:30 PM, Wednesday 10:30 AM and Friday at 1:00 PM. The red dotted diagonal lines are the algo trend-lines. And the vertical dotted (red or green) are marking the important times each week. You will find that the price of crude will hit one of the alpha algo targets about 90% of the time. In the absence of market direction the machines take price to the next algo line and/or target. Understanding how the price of crude reacts to the algos and how they move price from target to target is critical for intra-day and swing trading crude oil and associated instruments.

You will notice that price action of crude will use these algo trend-lines and act as support and resistance, and that price also often violently moves when an alpha algo line is breached either upward or downward.

We cover this in much more detail in the member updates, trading room. A review of my Twitter feed and previous blog posts will help you understand the relation of these indicators. We will start posting video blogs (for my subscribers) on YouTube (in addition to my daily blog posts) for swing traders that work during regular trading hours.

Also… we will cover how to establish algo trend-lines and price targets future forward (as you have seen me do on my Twitter feed for some time now).

Conclusion:

See you in the live trade room! And again, if you struggle to know how to use these indicators as a trader’s edge, it is recommended (if you have earnestly reviewed all of our documentation first) that you obtain private coaching prior to trading a real account with real money – we recommend you use a paper trading account at first.

You can also send specific questions to our email inbox at [email protected] – if you do this be sure to ask a specific question so it can be answered specifically. When the 24 hour oil trading room opens you will have ample opportunity in that 24 hour room to ask questions also.
