Notices:

I know I still have to get Tuesday’s trading results out – I’m out of time this morning so likely not until this weekend.

I will be in room Thursday for open but traveling rest of day. I will also be in room as reception allows while en route intra-day.

Overview Perspective & Review of Markets, Chat Room, Algo Calls, Trades and Alerts:

I had a blast Wednesday as did our members. In fact Tuesday and Wednesday were two of the bigger days this year for our members. Being on top of the market currents helps – our crew has been right on top of it. Nice trading group for sure!

I got out of $JUNO swing with nice gains yesterday and $CBMX swing Wednesday after market for near 100% gains.

Trade during the day was a series of snipes – I was trading with my small account and increased the account size by 26% in one day! Going to do  a recap video on weekend on how I did it.

$CBMX, $ONCS, $MBOT $THCT $OWCP, $FNMA, $CNBX were the active plays in our group.

Trading and The Markets Looking Forward:

Recent notes in post market reports that still apply,

“The small and micro momentum stocks continue to pop, however, traders need to be cautious because often its the low floats and thin trade can be difficult to chip out of positions – caution warranted in many ways.”

“These low float micros have in past signaled the end of a cycle in the market – keep that in mind.”

“Our standard plays that reflect the six algorithm charting we do are all at decisions at either support or resistance so this should get really interesting soon.”

Per yesterday, “Our swing trading side continues to outperform all my expectations for 2017 (you can find the most recent unlocked swing trading newsletter on our blog) – I had a feeling it was going to do well, just didn’t quite expect a grandslam. We’re in the middle of compiling our next set of stock picks for the swing trading members and will have them out over next few days – hopefully that batch will bring the same type of returns as the new year batch did and continue to in most instances.

US Dollar $DXY $USDJPY $UUP:

$DXY US Dollar is threatening to the trend reversal side, but not confirmed, awaiting market direction.

Gold $GLD $XAUUSD / Gold Miner’s $GDX:

Gold and Miner’s are both at what we consider key resistance, below is a quick periscope video that walks you through what our algorithm @RosietheAlgo is up to.

Silver $SLV:

Silver is at what consider key resistance.

Crude Oil $USOIL $WTI:

Crude oil continues to threaten a key support area that we have used as an area of accumulation long (we’re long as long as the trend is in place – the trend is your friend and we’re trading the range until it isn’t).

Volatility $VIX:

Volatility continues its flat line.

$SPY S&P 500:

Per recent, “$SPY continues the break-out. Trade the Fibs and buy the dip until you can’t. Respect stops.”

Natural Gas:

Natural gas did loose the 200 day and the next most probable Fibonacci line is at 2.74 ish, however, in overnight trade it did gets some upside momentum – so the jury is out on $NATGASUSD.

Momentum Trades:

As noted above, the low float micros and small cap issues continue in momo.

Swing Trading:

As noted above, we have literally sent one out of the park after another. Continues to look good forward.

Good morning swing traders and welcome to the Compound Trading weekly swing trading stock picks memo for the week of Feb 23, 2017!

Don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.

Notices:

Okay, so it looks like it may be a while before crude oil makes a decision to the upside or downside of these important support and resistance decisions. So I am going to start updating this with our new swings (there are two new ones below) BUT they won’t all be on here until Sunday’s report (simply a time issue). BUT I PROMISE no later than Sunday all new calls will be on here (all new calls we are comfortable with prior to a decision in crude, however, there will be more once crude makes decision).

Any updates below specific to this week are highlighted in red to simplify the process for you.

$VFC is our newest entry

Feb 23, 2017 – $VFC Swing long 53.50 average with 58.10 as first upside target. More targets in upcoming reports.

$VFC Swing long 53.50 average with 58.10 as first upside target.

$VFC Swing long 53.50 average with 58.10 as first upside target.

$NE – Noble Corp

Feb 23, 2017 – $NE Swing long opened 6.95 average for a 9.00 upside target.

$NE Swing long 6.95 average for a 9.00 upside target.

Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL, $GOOG

Feb 22, 2017 – We entered a long position starter at 848.96 200 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.

Amazon $AMZN

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 21, 2017 – On Feb 16 we closed our position at 23.88.

Feb 12, 2017 – We have been long since late December at 18.32 (1000 shares) and it trades at 21.95 now – will be ratcheting up stops soon, the trade has done well but in the short term we don’t see a lot of upside for entries now, unless trade returns to the 50 day MA.

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.

CombiMatrix Corp $CBMX

Feb 22, 2017 – We closed our long positions in late trade and extended hours at 5.01 average for 70% – 96% gains on various entries (detailed report to follow soon).

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.

$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.

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.

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.

My third priority on this list are the miner’s – $GDX and leveraged friends. This one is risky but comes with large gains if miner’s get moving and price breaks in to next quadrant above the yellow one outlined on the chart below. And for the risk taker it can be traded with leveraged ETN’s. There are inherent risks however; one is that price is not at bottom of the trading quadrant so an entry here is not ideal and the obvious issue is the Trump factor.

$USOIL / $WTI

Feb 21, 2017 – On the daytrading side I have been adding to a long that I though would be only days and turned in to a bit of a swing but did not alert it on the swing side because of the risk element. However, crude oil is over the resistance in overnight trade as I write and getting very close to the most significant resistance it has encountered in years. Stay tuned to updates this week, I expect to be putting out a number of updates this week because of this specific scenario. If crude does not handle resistance well I will short it heavily and will post a number of picks surrounding that play. If crude oil gets up over this significant resistance then I will go long and will post an alternate list of stock pics surrounding that play.

Feb 12 – Crude oil traded at resistance on Friday, some may opt to short here but we are waiting to see if price breaks to upside. Will advise.

Feb 7, 2017 Update: In overnight trade $USOIL is trading at 52.19 and there is a diagonal support trendline intra-day below at approximately 52.28 – we will be looking at taking a long position in that area if we can get it – with a tight 1% stop.

In overnight lab work our developers established a diagonal trendline (blue line in chart that has a blue arrow pointing at it) that has established itself as strong support. If you take a swing trade against that support (as as close to it as possible) then look to the upside of that white dotted arrow line as your target long. Ratchet up stops there.

So that’s it for today, however, when the crude trade plays out in the short term I will be posting an updated list either way (for upside or downside scenario crude oil). Again, I apologize for the unexpected pivot but I have no choice but to see how this crude break-out plays and that won’t take more than two days. So expect all the new plays sometime between now and Thursday.

Email or DM me on Twitter anytime with thoughts or questions!

Cheers!

S&P 500 $SPY Trade Update Thursday Feb 23, 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.

Current Trade in $SPY S&P 500.

Well this is interesting, the upside targets have hit exactly as prescribed in the previous report – this is three time cycles in a row our calls have hit so this is getting more predictable.

S&P 500 $SPY Symmetry price target extensions, trade quadrants, Fibonacci. Trade Charting Thurs Feb 23 517 AM $ES_F $SPXL, $SPXS

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

Trading Quadrants – The trading quadrants have not been updated on this charting – there is some work to do here so we will update them on weekend.

Symmetry Extension Targets – As noted, the previous report upside target was hit! The new chart includes an upside and downside trade target. Most probable upside if trade is in uptrend is 240.28 before a decision. Most probable downside if trade is in a downtrend is 233.02 before a decision.

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

Trading Bias – Bias is to the long side.

The charts below are still in play so I won’t update them yet, but I will mention that the diagonal trendlines that are white dotted you want to pay attention to as possible support and resistance anytime you see them.

Below are the levels our traders will be using for intra-day trade on Tuesday. The Fibonacci indicator settings have proven to be very precise in recent trade. The upside extension in this chart model is very similar to the chart above. Also, price is about to enter under the bottom center of a price apex – this chart bias is toward downside target of at least 231.72.

Thursday Feb 23, 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.

Visit this link for more information about my oil algorithm development, this link explains how our algorithmic charting is done, this YouTube video explains in summary how my algorithm works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUNyxFoXJp8 this link for more information about our algorithmic stock charting models and what makes them different than most.

Intra-day Crude Oil Trading Range: At time of writing FX $USOIL $WTI is closed trading at 54.38 at 438 AM EST Feb 23, 2017. Some thoughts with respect to traditional charting that may help advance the trading edge:

At time of post oil is trading at 54.38.

Our traders are accumulating long in oil related $UWT when trade is near diagonal trendline support I have pointed out in recent reports (blue).

There is a diagonal trendline resistance (blue) intraday at 55.36 (trending down) that is considerable (thick line as it comes from previous time price cycles) and a diagonal trendline support below (blue) at 53.19 trending up that has been tested and has held in recent trade (price momentarily lost the line at one point and recovered). Trade these widths with confidence (between 53.19 and 55.36 on the intra).

There is horizontal resistance (yellow) at 54.33 that has been breached a number of times (that can also act as support) and support (yellow) 51.93. Trade these widths with limited confidence (considering trade has breached at least 54.33 with relative ease).

Between the horizontal support and resistance lines are miscellaneous horizontal support and resistance lines (purple) and Fibonacci levels (various other colors not listed – the other thin lines – I’ve marked one with a green arrow) that act as minor intra-day support and resistance.

Also, the Fibonacci based diagonal algo trend-lines lines that make up trading quadrants on various time cycles (in this instance the 30 minute shown) (white dotted lines) act as intra support and resistance (very light – remember the thicker the line the more important it is). Also note, price action will default to the white dotted fib algo quad lines when the red dotted alpha algo lines are abandoned (or absent the chart) for one reason or another (but remember the red dotted lines are alpha).

And also remember the alpha algo lines (red dotted) act as intra support and resistance.

The most important item on this chart is the diagonal trendline (blue) on a downward trend (that I have mentioned in reports the past weeks). 

The comments below apply again for this week’s trade report. There are no red dotted alpha algo lines or alpha algo targets in the immediate trading range – so this makes targets difficult to predict, I have however marked the most likely secondary algo targets to hit (as soon as we get a confirmed break-out or break-down the alpha algo targets will become clear for the trend and subsequent targeting will also). 

Pre previous; There are however now secondary targets along the white dotted algo line – so they are not official calls but are targets noted because there are no alpha targets currently in range – and when there are none we default to the secondary algo lines (white dotted) and time of reports on Tues, Wed and Fri each week (see explanation below).”

Also, as mentioned in previous reports, Friday targets are significantly less likely to hit than Tuesday or Wednesday targets. Speaking of which, Wednesday primary algo target was hit exact to the second and penny!

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.

Price Action with 20, 50, 100, 200 MA

It is wise to study how the 20, 50, 100, 200 MA trade on each time-frame before trading oil related instruments (see previous posts).

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 trendlines are marked on charts above.

Advanced Charting:

Respect support and resistance lines: If you can be patient and take your long and short positions against these yellow lines – that is your highest probability trading.

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.

The alpha algo trend-lines are marked on main chart above.

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.

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

Current Algo Targets:

Per previous report on Monday and notes above; be very cautious of the targets this week – trade is very near very important resistance AND the price action of crude oil is not acting in its natural state. No target on the charting is considered an official call in any way – price action is going to have to return to a normal state (as I mentioned last week Monday, this is the first time this has occurred since my inception). If trade action sorts itself out mid week I will then re-chart and send members official calls. 

I have added secondary targets to the report as noted above and on chart – but these are not alpha targets so they are not official calls.

Tuesday Feb 21 – No official call, refer to chart.

Wednesday Feb 22 – No official call, refer to chart.

Friday Feb 24 – No official call, refer to chart.

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.

Watch my EPIC the Oil Algo Twitter feed for intra day notices and your email in box for member only material intra day also.

Stock Trading Plan for Wednesday Feb 22, 2017 in Compound Trading Chat room. $ONCS, $OWCP, $GRMN, $DCTH, $UGAZ, $FNMA, $BSTG – $UWT, $ONTX, $VRX, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $CBMX – Gold $GLD, Gold Miners $GDX, Silver $SLV, Oil $USOIL $WTI, Natural Gas, US Dollar Index $USD/JPY $DXY, S&P 500 $SPY, Volatility $VIX… more.

Welcome to the morning Wall Street trading day session at Compound Trading!

Notes in red text below are new comments entered specifically today.

Notices:

Member newsletters for algos, swing trades and post market reports will not be sent this morning (I got wacked with a winter fly bug and Sartaj is deep in developer land) so we’ve booked off time this evening to update them all for distribution prior to Thursday market open.

Current Holds / Trading Plan:

All small to mid size holds in this order according to sizing – $UWT, $BSTG, $ONTX, $VRX, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $CBMX, $DUST (looking for a way out on $DUST – was expecting one final significant spike in USDJPY before drop – didn’t get it so hoping for a pull back in miners soon – if not I’ll have to take the loss). $CBMX is a hold till late spring if necessary (you would have to do your own DD on the company and make your own determination).

I entered $RNVA AM the other day small position and exited yesterday. I haven’t alerted $RNVA and $BSTG trades because I expect to be in and out of them and a few other micros lots over the next while… also have $BLPH, $OWCP, $TENX, $ACST and others on this micro watchlist.

As noted before I may exit $VRX and $UWT.

I was asked by a member last night whether I alert my swing trades in the room or on SMS and Email from our swing trade subscription side and the answer is no, I keep them separate. The swing trading service isn’t a live alert service.

Market Outlook / Trading Plan:

My outlook is very similar to yesterday. It seems Crude Oil $WTI has pushed its trade range right up near resistance to parallel $Gold, $Silver, and the $DXY US Dollar – they are all at decisions. Interesting scenario. $VIX is still dead and $SPY has another leg forming. The markets seem pensive but bullish at the same time. Again, interesting IMO.

Many of our regulars in the room were killing momos yesterday… which by the way is interesting how these can sneak up on you… I reviewed a number of them and the follow through was definitely better in these on Wednesday – there were a number of them. When I seen some of our members in $EYEG right out of the gate at market open I thought oh no… but it worked out for them – in conversations I had with members through the day and after market it seems the group did really well. I missed the momos because I was expecting the follow through to be light – but I was wrong on that.

I am really interested in where the bottom is for natural gas, so I am watching $UGAZ close. I think Mathew tagged 2.54 as a possible bounce area in the room yesterday and this morning it did tag that area and has bounced a bit. Also watching the resistance in oil as you know to possibly exit the $UWT swing soon. Also really curious to see what Gold and Silver and the Dollar do here with the Trump trade follow through.

$FNMA is my shoulda from yesterday, I was all over it when it came off hard and was going to take an entry on the snap back and its up 23% in premarket trading at 3.32.

$ONCS is up 32% trading at 1.85 premarket.

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).

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.

Good morning swing traders and welcome to the Compound Trading weekly swing trading stock picks memo for the week of Feb 21, 2017!

Don’t hesitate to email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.

Notices:

Crude oil in overnight trade (while we were about to publish a new swing list) has tested significant resistance and broken through the upside. Soon on the crude oil chart there is the most significant resistance test it will have in the last number of years.

Why am I mentioning this? Because if crude oil gets above the next resistance (the big one) and holds it then we have a completely different game – and if it fails that resistance we have a certain type of scenario also. Because of this significant occurrence, I have updated the below but have not added the new swath of new picks because there is a group for a failed resistance and a group for a crude oil break-out. So I apologize, crude oil trade has caught us off guard here and we have to wait for it in the short-term to play out (there is more detail in crude oil section below). SO as crude trade plays out expect a series of reports intra-week.

Either way, there is enough for you to work with here to further your swing portfolio, I just wanted to explain the inflection point and what direction I am heading here.

It is important to note the other charts below may or may not have been updated since being first posted so be sure to look up most recent trading ranges on a chart before considering trades.

Any updates below specific to this week are highlighted in red to simplify the process for you.

Alphabet (Google) $GOOGL, $GOOG

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.

Amazon $AMZN

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 12, 2017 – We have been long since late December at 18.32 (1000 shares) and it trades at 21.95 now – will be ratcheting up stops soon, the trade has done well but in the short term we don’t see a lot of upside for entries now, unless trade returns to the 50 day MA.

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.

CombiMatrix Corp $CBMX

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.

OakTree Capital $OAK

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.

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.

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.

My third priority on this list are the miner’s – $GDX and leveraged friends. This one is risky but comes with large gains if miner’s get moving and price breaks in to next quadrant above the yellow one outlined on the chart below. And for the risk taker it can be traded with leveraged ETN’s. There are inherent risks however; one is that price is not at bottom of the trading quadrant so an entry here is not ideal and the obvious issue is the Trump factor.

$USOIL / $WTI

Feb 21, 2017 – On the daytrading side I have been adding to a long that I though would be only days and turned in to a bit of a swing but did not alert it on the swing side because of the risk element. However, crude oil is over the resistance in overnight trade as I write and getting very close to the most significant resistance it has encountered in years. Stay tuned to updates this week, I expect to be putting out a number of updates this week because of this specific scenario. If crude does not handle resistance well I will short it heavily and will post a number of picks surrounding that play. If crude oil gets up over this significant resistance then I will go long and will post an alternate list of stock pics surrounding that play.

Feb 12 – Crude oil traded at resistance on Friday, some may opt to short here but we are waiting to see if price breaks to upside. Will advise.

Feb 7, 2017 Update: In overnight trade $USOIL is trading at 52.19 and there is a diagonal support trendline intra-day below at approximately 52.28 – we will be looking at taking a long position in that area if we can get it – with a tight 1% stop.

In overnight lab work our developers established a diagonal trendline (blue line in chart that has a blue arrow pointing at it) that has established itself as strong support. If you take a swing trade against that support (as as close to it as possible) then look to the upside of that white dotted arrow line as your target long. Ratchet up stops there.

Crude algo intra work sheet 208 AM Jan 20 FX $USOIL $WTIC #OIL $CL_F CL $USO $UCO $SCO $UWT $DWT #OOTT

So that’s it for today, however, when the crude trade plays out in the short term I will be posting an updated list either way (for upside or downside scenario crude oil). Again, I apologize for the unexpected pivot but I have no choice but to see how this crude break-out plays and that won’t take more than two days. So expect all the new plays sometime between now and Thursday.

Email or DM me on Twitter anytime with thoughts or questions!

Cheers!

S&P 500 $SPY Trade Update Tuesday Feb 21, 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.

Current Trade in $SPY S&P 500.

S&P 500 $SPY Symmetry price target extensions, trade quadrants, Fibonacci. Trade Charting Thurs Feb 21 323 AM $ES_F $SPXL, $SPXS

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

Trading Quadrants – The trading quadrants for the time frame are also predictable, not perfect, but predictable. We are going to reset these when trade moves out of current range.

Symmetry Extension – Most probable upside if trade is in uptrend is 236.56 before a decision. Most probable downside if trade is in a downtrend is 232.98 before a decision. Trade is currently in a fixed range 234.98 – 233.95.

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

Trading Bias – We have no bias at this time.

Below are the levels our traders will be using for intra-day trade on Tuesday. The Fibonacci indicator settings have proven to be very precise in recent trade. The upside extension in this chart model is very similar to the chart above. Also, price is about to enter under the bottom center of a price apex – this chart bias is toward downside target of at least 231.72.

$SPY MACD Bullish

In summary, it seems best to trade with trend toward upside resistance in 236.56 area or to downside of 232.98 area. Tighter support range is 234.98 – 233.95.

When decision is made for uptrend or downtrend we will post detailed targets.

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

Tuesday Feb 21, 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.

Visit this link for more information about my oil algorithm development, this link explains how our algorithmic charting is done, this YouTube video explains in summary how my algorithm works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUNyxFoXJp8 this link for more information about our algorithmic stock charting models and what makes them different than most.

Crude oil algo chart intra 1135 PM Feb 20 FX $USOIL $WTIC #OIL $CL_F CL $USO $UCO $SCO $UWT $DWT #OOTT

Intra-day Crude Oil Trading Range: At time of writing FX $USOIL $WTI is closed trading at 54.01 at 1135 PM EST Feb 20, 2016. Some thoughts with respect to traditional charting that may help advance the trading edge:

At time of post oil is trading at 54.01 – sideways range bound trade for a number of weeks now. HOWEVER, an important resistance is on deck in overnight trade.

Our traders are accumulating long in oil related $UWT when trade is near diagonal trendline support I have pointed out in recent reports (blue).

Per previous; HOWEVER, caution is warranted because Friday targets are not as predictable as the Tuesday 4:30 and Wednesday 10:30 AM targets – both of which hit this week. AND, caution is warranted because trade is nearing the upside resistance (yellow) AND the downtrending diagonal resistance line (blue) that is significant that I have noted many times recently is nearing more and more daily. More below.

Friday’s target did not hit as suspected.

There is a diagonal trendline resistance (blue) intraday at 55.45 (trending down) that is considerable (thick line as it comes from previous time price cycles) and a diagonal trendline support below (blue) at 53.00 trending up that has been tested and has held in recent trade (price momentarily lost the line at one point and recovered). Trade these widths with confidence.

There is a significant resistance (yellow) 54.33 and support (yellow) 51.93. Trade these widths with moderate confidence.

Between those primary support and resistance lines are horizontal support and resistance lines (purple) and Fibonacci levels (various other colors not listed – the other thin lines – I’ve marked one with a green arrow) that act as support and resistance.

Also, the Fibonacci based diagonal algo trend-lines lines that make up trading quadrants on various time cycles (in this instance the 30 minute shown) (white dotted) act as intra support and resistance (very light – remember the thicker the line the more important it is). Also note, price action will default to the white dotted fib algo quad lines when the red dotted alpha algo lines are abandoned for one reason or another (but remember the red dotted lines are alpha).

And also remember the alpha algo lines (red dotted) act as intra support and resistance.

The most important item on this chart is the diagonal trendline (blue) on a downward trend (that I have mentioned in reports the past weeks) and the fact that the upcoming resistance at 54.33 area (yellow) has been a challenge for oil trade.

Because trade is getting so close to those two major resistance areas (the diagonal downtrending trendline – blue being the most important) be very careful until trade is above the resistance 54.33 area and the diagonal trendline (blue).

The comments below apply again for this week’s trade report. There are no red dotted alpha algo lines or targets in the immediate trading range – so this makes targets difficult to predict, I have however marked the most likely secondary algo targets to hit (the thicker red circles represent more likely than the others). If trade gets above the main resistance I will update targets immediately as there are alpha targets above resistance. 

Per Monday report, “Also as with last week (which proved to be a wise warning), the algo targets for Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday this week are very difficult to predict – caution is warranted. Trade last week was not typical / consistent with my algorithmic model or backtesting sixty months of trade. Something, and I do not know what, is affecting the price action in crude oil.

There are targets above the important resistance area (54.33) that are in play if price action is above resistance, but if price action is below resistance there are no alpha targets in the sideways price action. 

There are however now secondary targets along the white dotted algo line – so they are not official calls but are targets noted because there are no alpha targets currently in range – and when there are none we default to the secondary algo lines (white dotted) and time of reports on Tues, Wed and Fri each week (see explanation below).”

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.

Price Action with 20, 50, 100, 200 MA

It is wise to study how the 20, 50, 100, 200 MA trade on each time-frame before trading oil related instruments (see previous posts).

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 trendlines are marked on charts above.

Advanced Charting:

Respect support and resistance lines: If you can be patient and take your long and short positions against these yellow lines – that is your highest probability trading.

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.

The alpha algo trend-lines are marked on main chart above.

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.

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

Current Algo Targets:

Per previous report on Monday and notes above; be very cautious of the targets this week – trade is very near very important resistance AND the price action of crude oil is not acting in its natural state. No target on the charting is considered an official call in any way – price action is going to have to return to a normal state (as I mentioned last week Monday, this is the first time this has occurred since my inception). If trade action sorts itself out mid week I will then re-chart and send members official calls. 

I have added secondary targets to the report as noted above and on chart – but these are not alpha targets so they are not official calls.

Tuesday Feb 21 – No official call, refer to chart.

Wednesday Feb 22 – No official call, refer to chart.

Friday Feb 24 – No official call, refer to chart.

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.

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 lead trader Twitter feed is here @curtmelonopoly, lead developer @hundalSHS, and newest trader @quadzilla_jr.

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.

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).
