RE: EPIC v6.1.1 Final Protocol Updates and Results Since Deployment.

EPIC Machine Learning Software has been in development for 8 years. Version 6 represents the final architecture deployment.

The development team is satisfied with the real world results of the final product.

Future updates to the code will be regular but nominal in magnitude.

Please refer to previous white papers and updates for historical context.

In this update we provide the real world results since V6.1.1 deployment.

The most recent advancements in architecture are considerable game changers for our development team and the holders of tokenization projects, partnerships deploying EPIC software to various trading platforms/ apps, and the Sovoron.com private side client(s).

We expect ROI consistency and value to increase significantly forward.

RE: EPIC v5.1.0 Protocol Updates –  Hard Stop Pivots & Downside Risk Management

The development team of EPIC Crude Oil $CL_F Machine Learning Software (Oildefi.io), $SPY SP500 $MES Machine Learning Software (SP500defi.io) and soon to be launched $BTC and $ETH Machine learning software have been at it for near 8 years and see the Version 5 series as a significant milestone. In future, we expect only moderate “tweak” updates to the Oil Trading Software. The others should follow in with EPIC’s Oil architecture in months – not years. 

Please refer to previous white papers and updates for historical context.

In this update we provide important information regarding (1) Hard Stop / Reversal Pivot Protocols and (2) Downside Risk Management.

(1) Hard Stop / Reversal Pivot Protocol.

Prior to the Pivot Protocol challenge, the most significant challenge our team had was the “stability” protocol, it took the longest by far to conquer. Next in complexity was the pivot protocol. At issue with pivots specifically – order fills and the age-old “death by a thousand cuts”. The software executes market orders by design per architecture – again, refer to previous white papers and updates.

The most recent downturn in crude challenged the team to find a way to avoid the pivot execution paper cut challenge. In short, we accomplished an 80% win rate at pivot executions. Previous to this period of draw-down we struggled to find a way for the software to execute in size at key pivots without taking paper cuts that added quick to downside risk. This is now mitigated through order flow tech (see IDENT references in previous papers). In short 8 in 10 executions now manifest positive return executions which is far better than 1 in 10 at pivots it was firing at previously.

For the first time reader, in short, EPIC fires at key pivots often against trend and builds a position creating a low dollar cost average on high frequency trades during a sequence of exections. At issue, was primarly our ability to have the software fire in size and not have paper cut draw downs. This is now resolved. A significant milestone.

(2) Draw-Down Mitigation.

Having the pivot / reversal execution protocol firing at 80% upside rate allows the architecture of the draw down risk component of the software to be very, very “tight”. Observers will find over the near term EPIC to remain aggresive and yet very limited in draw-down size. This was previously not possible due to the “paper-cut” issue discussed above. 

The advancements in architecture described above are considerable game changers for our development team and the holders of tokenization projects (representing returns or losses in trade) and the Sovoron.com private side client(s).

We expect ROI consistency and value to increase significantly forward.

EPIC v4.1.1 Crude Oil Machine Trade Software

Project History & Objective.

Our team set out over six years ago to develop sophisticated software architecture for the trade of crude oil futures.

The objective: to provide a stable yet high performance product achieving an increasingly higher ROI over time as the software processes market data, structure of trade action and order-flow.

The software has undergone a number of updates over recent years (see links at end of this document for previous white paper updates), the most recent updates have provided for a stable trading entity that continues to excel in terms of ROI.

The most recent updates, noteably the Dec 8, 2022 EPIC v3.9 update and the most recent EPIC v4.1.1 version are providing stellar real world results both in terms of ROI and stability.

EPIC is used by the trading team at Compound Trading (for live trading alert feeds and the live trading room), also by Sovoron.com for private client trading executions and OilDefi.io to facilitate a decentralized (Defi) crypto tokenization platform.

Below is a sample Sovoron real trade account performance. 

SOVORON.com 58.69% Annualized ROI from previous update to EPIC v4.1.1 software update and forward Dec 8, 2022 – June 2, 2023 (audited financials or sample account broker statements available for SOVORON participants). As of June 2, 2023 software is in its first sequence of the new v4.1.1 update and escalates protocol to a total of maximum nine sequences. Estimated ROI for this version of software is well over 100% per annum but is difficult to determine full potential through the nine sequence escalations.

Calculated using a sample 300k account (real trades) per this calculation (click here).

Sample real 300k account ROI graph.

Note the consistent trajectory with low draw down and the increased trajectory of return.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is EPIC-Annualized-Trading-Results-1024x386.jpg

The primary challenge until mid 2021 was “stability” vs. ROI objectives.

Until recently, some versions of the software achieved over 150% annual ROI and some as low as 20%. The size of the trade account was the most significant determining factor (the larger the account size the more stable the software is and the higher the return).

Over time the architecture of the software has been perfected, but the real game-changer has been the development of the EPIC IDENT™ Order Flow component of the code and more recently the Intra-Day High Frequency code that relies heavily on IDENT™.

In short, there are three primary protocols of code in the software;

  1. Swing Trading (average sequence duration is 11 weeks and has been as short as 1 week and as long as 16 weeks).
  2. Intra-Day High Frequency (average sequence duration is considerably less than 24 hours but can also be described at times as intra-week lasting up to 3 or 4 days).
  3. EPIC IDENT™ Order Flow (extremely high frequency for positioning alongside significant machine “entities” that have presented themselves in the intra-day order flow). 

The software has proven to be very stable while consistently providing considerable returns. 

To our knowledge the EPIC Oil Machine Trading Software is best in class. 

EPIC Software Highlights.

  1. Lightning Fast Decisions. EPIC crude oil trading software executes trades through utilizing over 9300 weighted decisions instantly. The instructions provided within the architecture are growing daily. A human trader cannot make decisions as quickly, cannot process the data required for most intelligent trading probabilities and cannot execute trades as precisely.
  2. Algorithmic Chart Models. The EPIC software includes over thirty proprietary algorithmic chart models and the catalogue is growing. The algorithmic models have been designed, tested and refined in real-world trade for over 6 years by a team of day traders, each with over 20 years of experience. The oil trading models represent all time-frames from 15 second to monthly time-frames of trade. The algorithmic models have been back-tested to sixty months historically.
  3. Conventional Charting. The software includes conventional charting structures on all time-frames, also back-tested sixty months.
  4. Common Trade Set-Ups. Included in the software are common trade set-ups that oil day traders implement. 
  5. Order Flow. EPIC IDENT™ is data-driven order flow intelligence in real-time to achieve best outcomes. The software includes and executes to a proprietary order flow identification system that tracks behavior (specifically isolating other market machine liquidity) and weighs identified entities and historical trade patterns to its trade decisions (instructions). EPIC IDENT™ increases its intelligence as it gathers data intra-day specific to liquidity flow, historical patterns, time of day, volatility, various preferences, latency, rejects and more. The method is similar to back-testing charting. However, the process occurs in real-time. In short, the software is looking for “fingerprints” within market liquidity. We cannot back-test 60 months as with charting, but back-testing from date of software deployment has been achieved.
  6. Time Cycles. Time cycles are within all algorithmic and conventional trading model structures. Order flow also has identified time cycles and other time cycle events such as weekly reporting in oil markets (API, EIA and rig counts). Additionally there are time-of day market time cycles around the world. All of these different time-cycles are included in the software architecture.
  7. Hard-Pivot Architecture. The risk threshold – management system within the EPIC architecture now has a hard pivot rule-set that has near ended substantial risk for accounts in the 300k range and completely ended risk for the 600k or larger accounts.

Combined, these advantages enable the EPIC Crude Oil Trading software to outperform conventional trading methods.

Introduction to Oil Market Trade and Machine Trading.

The world of public market trade is rapidly changing. It is estimated (depending on source) that over 80% of crude oil futures are not traded by humans and are now traded by machines.

Machine trade may be simple, bot style software, high-frequency software or more sophisticated architecture as with the EPIC class of algorithm.

Our team commenced the oil trading software development journey nearly seven years ago with algorithmic chart model development. From day one we employed computer scientists to work with us on a daily basis to build software that would emulate our trading methods.

Over time the software started to win more trades than our traders and today we rely almost solely on the software to execute trades. We simply “tweak” the software at each trade sequence to improve performance.

Account Size – ROI and Draw-Down Volatility.

The smaller the account size traded, the more difficult it is for the software to limit downside risk and provide optimal returns.

We have learned over time that a 100k account size will see volatility and has considerable associated risk. A 300k account size will rarely see volatility (draw-down risk) and a 600k account size is expected to almost never encounter volatility. As noted above, the risk threshold – management system within the EPIC architecture now has a hard pivot rule-set that has near ended substantial risk for accounts in the 300k range and completely ended risk for the 600k or larger accounts.

The software is designed to trade within a sequence of trade within structures or set-ups. As the oil market price changes, the software trading logic uses all the different data to update the decision tree utilizing the instruction rule-set.

You can imagine this as a dot plot process similar to the game “Go” – not exactly, but the concept helps to visualize how the software plots a sequence plan for trade.

The “ebb and flow” of regular oil market trade allows opportunity for the software to plot a plan of trade within a sequence. The larger the account, the more dots that can be plotted (trades can be “bite sized” entries within an “ebb and flow”).

To understand the trading methodology of the software in each “sequence” of trade requires a moderately in-depth conversation to review data with a member of our team.

In short, the software uses a positioning (swing trade) protocol for each sequence of trade and a high-frequency intra-day protocol via EPIC IDENT™ technology. On the positioning (swing trade) side of the architecture, this means that as crude oil price is rising the software is building a position short through-out the rally (and the opposite is true if the price of oil is falling). However, the average cost is off-set by the high-frequency component of trade via EPIC IDENT™ technology so that when the trend reverses the software achieves considerable returns.

API / Deployment Architecture.

EPIC v4 software is designed to be deployed remotely – accessing an account and executing trades. This provides the account holder with ultimate control. The account holder grants the software access and the software executes machine trades to the account. Architecture provides opportunity for decentralized platform integration.

Conclusion.

This paper outlines the opportunities that can be presented by the growing influence of machine trade on global financial markets.

Competitors within the machine trade industry are becoming more and more refined and successful – the best in class are assumed to be winning a larger portion of proceeds.

The most significant immediate challenge developers face in machine trade is building a product that will perform within a prescribed threshold of downside limiting stability while outperforming conventional trading methods.

Soon thereafter the challenge becomes competing against “like-kind” machine trade peers and being best in class.

It is our expectation that fewer and fewer competitors will achieve more of the proceeds (as a whole of trade in public markets) at an exponential rate, which does provide urgency to development and deployment.

The EPIC v4 trading software achieves consistent, predictable and very adaptable architecture that provides exceptional best in class ROI.

EPIC v3.3 Crude Oil Machine Trade Software

March 28, 2022

Project History & Objective.

Our team set out over five years ago to develop sophisticated software architecture for the trade of crude oil futures.

The goal: to provide a stable yet high performance product achieving an increasingly higher ROI over time as the software processes market data, structure of trade action and order-flow.

The primary challenge until mid 2021 was “stability” vs. ROI objectives.

Until recently, some versions of the software achieved over 150% annual ROI and some as low as 20%. The size of the trade account was the most significant determining factor (the larger the account size the more stable the software is and the higher the return).

Over time the architecture of the software has been perfected, but the real game-changer has been the development of the EPIC IDENT™ Order Flow component of the code and more recently the Intra-Day High Frequency code that relies heavily on IDENT™.

Currently the Intra-Day High Frequency protocol of the software code is winning 97.3% of its trades on all account sizes. We had expected this to be 80-90% over time. However, the 97.3% win rate has now occurred over many hundreds of executions (nearing 1000) over a significant number of months. This development is obviously a considerable achievement.

In short, there are three primary protocols of code in the software;

  1. Swing Trading (average sequence duration is 11 weeks and has been as short as 3 weeks and as long as 16 weeks).
  2. Intra-Day High Frequency (average sequence duration is considerably less than 24 hours but can also be described at times as intra-week lasting up to 3 or 4 days).
  3. EPIC IDENT™ Order Flow (extremely high frequency for positioning alongside significant machine “entities” that have presented themselves in the intra-day order flow). 

For the last number of months we have been running EPIC v3.1.5 software and more recently EPIC v3.3 (live trade real world accounts and internal beta versions) on three different account sizes. The software has proven to be very stable while consistently providing considerable returns. 

To our knowledge the EPIC Oil Machine Trading Software is best in class. 

EPIC Software Returns.

Note: Below are the summary results for our most recent v3.1.5 and v3.3 version of software that has been running since September 1, 2021. An addendum that includes extensive real world trade data, methodology of trade executions and trade performance is available by contacting our team.

The 80 account size version was returning a 43% per year (annualized) after first sequence of trade (September 1, 2021 – December 1, 2021). During 9 sequences of trade (approximately 27 months from launch of most recent v3.1.5 version) we expect the ROI to increase steadily to approximately 86% per annum.

More recently the 80 account size version, v3.3, has been added with the v3 generation now in the second large trade sequence (the war caused a significant break-out in crude oil in to 130s). The 80 contract size version is currently running a loss, (draw-down) SPECIFICALLY on sequence 2, of approximately -13% and hit a maximum draw-down in sequence of -24% (as of time of writing). Prior to this sequence it was trading +47.8% (as above and not included in the sequence 2 draw-downs noted). However, as this large break-out sequence continues even the 80 contract size protocol is slowly gaining “position” and the draw-down in the sequence is progressively smaller. At any moment the software is expected to be positive in this divergent break out sequence 2, which is quite an accomplishment for our team. The larger sized software versions are having no issue with the recent price break-out and are in fact in significant profit positions.

The 150 account size version was returning 67% per year (annualized) prior to the large war break-out sequence 2 and currently (at time of writing) is realizing 87% per year (annualized). We expect the ROI to increase over 9 sequences of trade to approximately 134% – 167% per annum.

The 300+ account size version was returning 108% per year (annualized) prior to the large war break-out sequence 2 and currently (at time of writing) is realizing 172% per year (annualized) – it is exceeding our expectations. We expect the ROI to increase over 9 sequences of trade to approximately 216%-247% per annum.

Over time, as the software runs through sequences of trade, the IDENT™ technology in the software gains more intel and as a result the ROI increases considerably.

The maximum return in a perfectly executed software protocol would be near 2000% per annum. However, we don’t expect ever to achieve consistently more than 300% per year trading a 300 account size.

The smaller the account size traded the more difficult it is for the software to limit risk to down-side and provide optimum returns.

An 80 account size will see at times some volatility (draw-down risk), a 150 account size will rarely see volatility (draw-down risk) and a 300 account size is expected to near never encounter risk stability.

80 Contract Account Sample Trade Execution Data on Sequence One and Associated Protocol Notes.

  • 150 and 300 contract account data also available.

Maximum size 12 contracts on swing portion of protocol.

Maximum size escalation to 18 contracts on high frequency portion of protocol (this will escalate as software gets in to sequence 2 and on).

Swing protocol uses nineteen chart algorithmic models on various time frames. While price is rising software builds a short position and the opposite is true as price drops (cost is off set in ebb and flow trades from swing protocol as well as high frequency protocol).

High frequency protocol uses EPIC IDENT™ on day trade time frames for order flow. The high frequency protocol has a moderately low threshold for stops and will fire many times around pivots intraday unlike the swing protocol which is a sequence positioning protocol.

High frequency protocol advantage is increased with larger accounts and as such the number of executions, frequency and size intraday expands and contracts considerably more.

High frequency EPIC IDENT™ execution data (beyond what is alerted to our members) is not included in sample below as that is proprietary. Disclosure of the high frequency executions is disclosure of the mathematics of the proprietary software (in other words it can be reverse engineered and duplicated).

Daily chart model below (one of nineteen time frames used) is a visual example of a sequence of trade.

Sequence of trade duration included in this sample is September 1, 2021 – December 1, 2021.

Executions included in this sample are copied directly from Private Twitter Member Alert feed. The executions are also alerted to a Private Member Discord Server. In both mediums there are other notes to our members about what the software is doing at any time. Some executions were not alerted on Twitter but alerted to Discord and in some instances there were errors with manual alerts (typically clarified or corrected on the Discord server for our members).

Algorithmic Oil Chart Model Used By Software Shows Crude Oil Rally Sept 1-Oct 25 and Price Sell Off Oct 25-Dec 1.

Software was building a short position during the rally and covering with profit during the sell off. The software also traded ebb and flow buy and selling in the swing protocol on the way up and also executed high frequency trades on the way up which lowered the average cost of the position.

 


Important Note: Oil Traders, Alerts, Trading Room, Machine Trading

 

Good afternoon traders,

There is a new white paper coming out later that will address this and other points.

But for timely reasons I want to share one important update with you relating to oil trade alerts.

We have recently completed another software update for EPIC V3 Crude Oil Machine Trading.

Specifically, it is that the base contract account size traded going forward (and alerted) is a 30 contract account, or at minimum an account 300,000.00 USD or larger trading CL continuous contracts.

Any account smaller than 10 contracts (if traded on CL futures not specifically CFDs because this is different) is at significant risk considering the recent market action. Machine entities around the globe are adjusting, this is obvious in order flow.

The alerts will then reflect a 30 contract account size. In other words, Long 1/30 size etc will be represented in the alerts. This will also allow those trading CFD’s to better manage sizing relative to the alerts.

The bottom line is that an account trading CL futures at 30 contracts via EPIC v3 software is considered very low risk (if any), an account at 10 contracts possesses moderate risk and anything less significant risk – in this market environment.

Any questions please let me know.

The revised white paper will however likely answer any questions you may have.

Thanks

Curt

RE: EPIC v3 Software Protocol Code Updates

 

When developing the software our team back tested 60 months (per white paper). 

 

Today we spent significant time back testing further than 60 months. The most recent market event (Corona) more resembles 2008.

 

In short, even the most “throttled” of the EPIC v3 software protocols is not “tight” enough for “market events”. Specifically I am referring to the positioning protocol v3 has to fire within.

 

We have further adapted the software to only fire on a daytrading (intra-day) protocol.

 

Specifically this means that all indicators EPIC v3 uses to fire will remain the same, see white paper here:

 

https://compoundtrading.com/white-paper-how-epic-v3-crude-oil-machine-trading-outperforms-conventional-trading-methods/  

 

But the hold area of trade (the positioning draw-down threshold) becomes one range on the 1 minute chart. In other words, EPIC v3 will fire but will fire only within the current 1 minute model range and will not hold anything below a one minute range support.

 

In practical terms this means that all trades will be high frequency intra day mode when firing and there will be no holds. No holds on weekends and holds end of day will occur but only within the 1 minute range.

 

In summary the “positioning” part of the code has been removed completely and only the intra day high frequency remains. The code is in essence the same with the exception of the “positioning” component.

 

A detailed update will follow in a white paper update in editing now.

 

Watching the alerts over the next few days and attending the live trading room will give you a better idea than this letter will.

 

Any questions let me know,

 

Thanks

 

Curt
