If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect the math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80%+ all publicly posted live trade alerts).
Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid much of the day trading risk (preferring to daytrade only what is structurally set-up also on the swing trade side and to my advantage in the algorithmic model charting). I often avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks or structured (per explanation in previous sentence) stocks later in day after a wash-out looking for a snap-back trade that can possibly also become a strong swing or longer term trade that I can leg in to. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Charting Model Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

Oil Trade Alerts: How We Knew Where Oil Sell-Off Bottom Was in Advance. Crude Oil Trading Strategy.
Oil sell-off today, EPIC Oil Algorithm buy side oil trade alerts 64.50 buy side at day lows for members. #oil #trade #alerts FX $USOIL $WTI $CL_F $USO #OOTT #Algorithm
How did we know in a heavy intra-day sell-off where oil would bottom and turn? Learning to trade crude oil is not easy if you try and trade it with conventional trading strategy, you need to know how oil trades and why.
Below are the details to help you with your crude oil trading strategy.
Let’s look at what happened and then I will explain how I knew where the reversal intra-day in crude oil trade would be.
Below you will find the intra-day sell-off in crude oil, the member trade alerts, member chat room guidance and charts – and then I’ll explain how we knew in advance with high probability where the bottom would be.
Crude oil chart (FX USOIL WTI). The sell off in crude oil trade today was extreme.
Crude Oil Chart – Crude oil sell-off today, EPIC Oil Algorithm called buy side for 64.50 at day lows (on way down).
On the way down we alerted our members on the EPIC Twitter crude oil trade alerts member service of where the possible bottoms were. There was an initial possible area and then the buy side area a touch down. The chart below shows the sell-off (with red arrow) and the buy side long entries alerted to members (green arrow).
Alert – Oil trade alerts on the EPIC Oil Trading Alerts Feed – Starting buys in here careful will cut fast 64.50 – 58, hit low in sell off perfect.
Below is a screen shot of the private member trade alert feed on Twitter showing the member alert that our buys were starting in the 64.50 – .58 area (after we had provided the oil trade strategy in the private discord oil chat room server). Buy side alerts started at 64.50 and the low of day in crude oil was 64.44 (FX USOIL WTI).
Chat Room Strategy – Oil chat room member guidance for buy side at bottom of sell-off today.
Below is a screen shot of the private member oil trading chat room.
“if it dumps i’ll look for 64.52 area ish”
This comment was after significant guidance by myself (lead trader at Compound Trading Group). I was looking for confirmation of a bottom trade strategy for a reversal in oil trade intra-day.
“hoping in to 1130 candle expiry i get entry”
Trade had been in sell-of prior to the Wednesday 10:30 AM EST EIA Petroleum Status Report and after the report was released trade in crude oil continued. Prior to this alert to watch the start of the 11:30 AM EST candle on the oil chart I had given significant member guidance in the chat room. If you look at the chart posted above you will see that the reversal turn in oil was in fact at the 11:30 candle on the chart.
“looking for volatility in to 64.52 and turn of 30 and long tail and volume buys”
As with the prior comment above, I’m explaining in the quote specifically what I am looking for to confirm my trade execution long for the reversal. By the way, we use a 30 minute chart for EPIC Oil algorithmic charting purposes.
“starting buys in here careful will cut fast 64.58 area”
This is the alert in the chat room that my buys started at 64.58 (this was the first alert) then on Twitter I had alerted buys 64.50 – 64.58 because price came off a bit and I was buying in to 64.50 so the Twitter alert reflected that also.
“trimmed 64.72 looking for another entry”
Then as I was trimming longs I had alerted the chat room. At this time I was also in the main trading room on voice broadcast alerting my trades to the chat room (we have the member discord chat room and a main chat room that has live oil charting for the algorithm and also voice broadcast – members can choose to be in either / or as they need).
So in a nutshell I called the bottom for members in an aggressive intra-day sell-off and provided strategy for the trade on its way down. There is many more comments prior to these from the chat room.
So the questions is, how did I know where to execute the long side trade in crude oil? How was the reversal confirmed? How can you learn to trade oil with the correct market and charting signals?
Reason Number 1 – The US Dollar.
“resistance on USD should provide moderate support for oil prices
but thats a moderate consideration”“you could consider this area divergent right now for USD – there’s a special report out tonight, but this is resistance on DXY now on main wide structure it should calm down very soon
on intra day short time frame who knows
intra day resistance white arrow on DXY”
The correlation between the US Dollar and the trade of commodities is not always correlated. I tend to check in on our US Dollar Algorithm whenever executing oil trades. Today the dollar was trading near a critical resistance area, so I took that information in to consideration.
Oil trading strategy in chat room started with resistance approaching on US Dollar trade intra-day explained to members with charts.
“wider structured resistance on DXY at orange line”
Screen shot of US Dollar Algorithm charting showing members in chat room where main resistance in DXY is.
How the Dollar Impacts Commodity Prices
“The vast majority of these materials use the dollar as a pricing mechanism for global trade because the U.S. is the strongest and most stable economy in the world. When the dollar strengthens, it means that commodities become more expensive in other, nondollar currencies. This tends to have a negative influence on demand. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, commodity prices in other currencies move lower, which increases demand.”
https://www.thebalance.com/how-the-dollar-impacts-commodity-prices-809294
Reason Number 2 – Support for Oil Trade on the Weekly Chart (moving averages).
“62.30 50 MA on weekly”
The second reason is more a consideration for downside risk than it was a reason for trade.
I was reviewing the weekly chart our algorithm reporting service provides members – taking a mental note of my downside risk. I was also weighing the upside resistance on the weekly chart. Because of the weekly downside risk being considerably lower than the price of intra-day trade my risk tolerance to more sell-off was very low. I alerted that to members and would have closed a losing trade very quickly had that happened.
The 50 day moving average in this chart example shows a considerable down-side risk to a long trade. The 50 MA is the purple line on the chart in the screen shot below. More about moving averages here.
Screen shot of weekly oil chart support for trading strategy consideration – 62.30 50 MA on weekly chart.
Reason Number 3 – EIA confirmed the build in crude oil inventory.
#EIA
Crude: 6.805M
Cushing: 1.643M
Gasoline: -0.740M
Distillates: 3.566M
#oott
And then the EIA Petroleum figures were available online at 10:30 AM and this confirmed a large build in crude oil inventories. This is bearish but at 4:30 the day before the initial forecast provided a surprise build (hence the sell-off that started in trade prior). This isn’t a reason for a long side trade at first glance until you consider the trader’s mentality.
The sell-off that continued after EIA was announced was obviously an over committed intra-day scenario because everyone already knew that a large build was expected, so I didn’t expect it to sell off much more intra-day. My longer term bias is considerably different, but specifically intra-day in the trade of crude I didn’t expect much more sell-off.
Then the EIA Petroleum Report figures were available and the build in crude was higher than expected (screen shot of chat room).
Also note in the screen shot below of the chat room the coding tech updating the algorithm charting for members on the intra-day time frame and posting it to the room. He did this because he knew a trade was setting up so he provided the most recent machine trading data for myself and our trading community members to use when executing the trades.
Reason Number 4 – Crude Oil Algorithmic Charting Support Areas to Watch.
64.60 FX USOIL buy target intra day – we’ll see how it looks trading 64.88 intra
Then I provided the members the first area of trade to watch (at 64.60) for on the charting that could have been the support area intra-day for the reversal long trade (see the member chat room screen shot above).
And sure enough, intra-day trade stalled at the 64.60 market and below is the charting we were watching. The green arrow on the charting below shows the area of trade.
Chat room screen shot – shows two EPIC Oil Algorithm charts and price target area where trade stalled for a test.
Gray arrow shows diagonal trendline support area that has acted as support historically many times. EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm.
The gray arrow shows an area on the oil algorithm that has been used by the machines to buy intra-day sell-offs over and over again.
One of the benefits of our work is that we look at historical charts and process that big data for our clients. This work provides insight to what specific signals to use at various intervals of trade intra-day and for swing trading that the human trader simply can’t discern because the data involved is too much for the brain to process. This would take a book of 500 pages to explain. In short, this specific area in the algorithmic oil charting model has been used consistently by the machines. I include some recent examples below for demonstration purposes.
Also note the green arrows on the chart. The first being the first area of support I was watching and the second being the second area. The first area of support did see a bounce in trade intra-day but failed the pull-back back test so we didn’t execute. The second area we did execute trades on and did alert to our members. This was so close to the ideal buy trigger that we nailed it. Our members will tell you that we alert the buy zones in sell-offs near perfect nearly 100% of the time. Our feed tells the story for us – it is time stamped and transparent so there is no way to trick anyone with false signals of record.
The chart below has recent examples of trade where the machines have bought the sell-off in crude oil with significant liquidity. The sell-off and subsequent area of reversal today was exactly the same area of the algorithm model.
Oil trade algorithm and the recent areas of trade machines have taken long positions in oil during sell-offs.
Reason Number 5 – Confirmation in Intra-Day Trade of Oil to Confirm Signal to Enter Long Side Trade.
Chat room screen shot – explaining to members indicators I was watching on charting for back-test confirmation in oil trade.
Crude oil trade hit 64.74 within 14 cents of the price target I was wanting to see to possibly confirm the trade (see above the 64.60 area I was watching for).
Then the price target of 64.60 was hit and I explained to chat room members to wait and see how the bounce in trade handled the upside 20 MA resistance area and to watch the expected back test (pull back in trade) to previous support before executing a trade. This is a process of watching intra-day trade for various confirmations in trade to be sure as you can be that your entry execution is not too early (or late for that matter).
Conclusion:
We knew well in advance of the oil sell-off today the area of trade that was most probable to be the right buy signal.
We alerted the buy side trade for our members on the private member oil trading alerts feed.
We provided trading strategy in the oil chat room well in advance of trade achieving the price target for the long side trade alert.
I provided live charting and voice broadcast to members in our main trading room as I executed trades.
Our algorithm charting provided us the buy area well in advance as part of a rules based trading process as a result of big data processing by our team of experts in this field.
In large part, this is why I haven’t been on the losing side of an oil trade alert in many months. Every trade alert is documented in real time, recorded, live alerted and time stamped for evidence of our claims.
Are You Learning to Trade Oil?
My best advice is to join our service on a trial and view real-time how we analyse our trades.
We have a clear trading process that is rules based and has proven to win.
I am far from the best trader I know, in fact I would rate myself about a 5 or 6 out of 10 – I am an expert technician but not top shelf trader. But I am one of the highest winning percentage oil trade alerting services available simply because our algorithm models are that good – and it takes more than that, it takes a team of committed individuals to provide clear winning trading signals to the members.
Interpretation of the algorithm models as a result of experience and historical big data processing is why we win and win often. And when we loose, it is small because we know when a trade has failed. In our work we know before the crowd where to buy and why and where to close and why. We know where to add to your trades and where to trim you trades.
And finally, if you need more help getting on the winning side of your trades then I would seriously consider 3 hours of private coaching. Even the best traders in the world have a coach because a trading coach will keep your psychological game in check as it relates to following the trading of a rules based process. A trading coach is critical to success as a winning trader.
Best with it and let me know if you need anything.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect the math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80%+ all publicly posted live trade alerts).
Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid much of the day trading risk (preferring to daytrade only what is structurally set-up also on the swing trade side and to my advantage in the algorithmic model charting). I often avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks or structured (per explanation in previous sentence) stocks later in day after a wash-out looking for a snap-back trade that can possibly also become a strong swing or longer term trade that I can leg in to. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Charting Model Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.
Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:
(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List: $LMFA $CGC $ABIL $YANG $EDZ $NEPT $EGN $TVIX $UVXY $DUST $DWT $VXX $TLRY $MDGS $CRK $CMG
(2) Pre-market Decliners Watch-List :
(3) Other Watch-List:
(4) Regular Algo Charting Watch-List: Gold $GC_F $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV $SI_F ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWT, $DWT, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F, $UWT, $DWT), Natural Gas $NG_F ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY), $BTCUSD Bitcoin.
(5) Recent Upgrades:
$CMG upgraded to Overweight from Equal Weight at $MS – raises PT to $600 from $413
$IDRA Idera Pharmaceuticals resumption of coverage and overweight at JPMorgan with a $15 tgt
Deutsche Bank positive on Norfolk Southern https://seekingalpha.com/news/3383032-deutsche-bank-positive-norfolk-southern?source=feed_f … #premarket $NSC
Viavi Solutions $VIAV PT Raised to $14 at MKM Partners Following Solid 4Q
Entertainment Properties Trust $EPR PT Raised to $71 at RBC Capital
Tapestry Inc. $TPR PT Raised to $60 at Wells Fargo
(6) Recent Downgrades:
Western Digital stock falls after Cowen downgrade
$CYTX downgraded to Hold from Buy at Maxim.
Micron Technology $MU PT Lowered to $63 at Wells Fargo
UPDATE: Baird Downgrades AvalonBay Communities $AVB to Neutral
Applied DNA Sciences $APDN PT Lowered to $3 at Maxim Group

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).

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect the math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80%+ all publicly posted live trade alerts).
Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid much of the day trading risk (preferring to daytrade only what is structurally set-up also on the swing trade side and to my advantage in the algorithmic model charting). I often avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks or structured (per explanation in previous sentence) stocks later in day after a wash-out looking for a snap-back trade that can possibly also become a strong swing or longer term trade that I can leg in to. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Charting Model Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.
Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:
(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List: $THST $HYRE $RSLS $MYSZ $ABIL $IMMY $ADOM $TUR $AAP $RUSL $TPR
(2) Pre-market Decliners Watch-List :

(4) Regular Algo Charting Watch-List: Gold $GC_F $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV $SI_F ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWT, $DWT, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F, $UWT, $DWT), Natural Gas $NG_F ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY), $BTCUSD Bitcoin.
(5) Recent Upgrades:
Marathon Petroleum $MPC PT Raised to $89 at RBC Capital
Viper Energy $VNOM PT Jumps To $38 After A Financial Beat And Acquired Horsepower – Stifel
Fortive $FTV PT Raised to $88 at Argus
$SRPT initiated at Buy at Citi. PT $174

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).

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect the math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80%+ all publicly posted live trade alerts).
Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid much of the day trading risk (preferring to daytrade only what is structurally set-up also on the swing trade side and to my advantage in the algorithmic model charting). I often avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks or structured (per explanation in previous sentence) stocks later in day after a wash-out looking for a snap-back trade that can possibly also become a strong swing or longer term trade that I can leg in to. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Charting Model Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

Crude Oil Trading Face-Off Results “Pro Trader” (Man) vs. EPIC Oil Algorithm (Machine Trading Tech).
“The Nut Hand” Today’s Huge Oil Trade Win. Exactly How It Was Done. How I Knew & How You Can Too.
MULTI-USERS: Institutional / commercial platform now available.
SOFTWARE: My algorithmic charting is planned to go to developer coding phase for our trader’s dashboard program. Please review my algorithm development process, about my oil algorithm story on our website www.compoundtrading.com and my oil algo charting posts on my Twitter feed and/or this blog.
HOW MY ALGORITHM WORKS: I am an oil algorithm model 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 integration – only math as it relates to traditional indicators with the primary goal being probabilities. I am not a high frequency robot type algorithm – I am presented 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.
Below you will find simplified levels represented on a traditional chart (both intra-day and as a swing trader or investor). This work (and associated trade) 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 in the private Discord oil trade room server.

Oil Algorithm (EPIC). Current trade. Aug 12 909 PM FX $USOIL $WTI $USO $UWT $DWT $CL_F #OIL #Algorithm #OOTT
Aug 12, 2018
New: The new trade signals are the machine trading lower / tighter day-trading time frames (overlay charting versions we are beginning to share).
The first most predictable trade are the resistance and support cluster areas formed by long term chart trend lines (see charts that have trend-lines represented in red as made available below).
The second most predictable trade (wide trading range primary resistance and support that become predictable buy and sell triggers). Current algorithmic model wide trading range resistance (grey arrow – grey horizontal line) at approximately 68.92 in the current trading range. Current algorithmic model wide trading range support (grey arrow – grey horizontal line) at approximately 65.32 in the current trading range – these areas are general range support and resistance areas (our algorithm uses a .15 – .20 cent buffer on either side for these trades). Trading between the resistance / support horizontal grey lines is extremely profitable risk – reward if one is disciplined to the patience required and follows the trend of trade.
The lower trading range is 61.71 to 65.31. The upper trading range 68.93 to 72.54.
Trading Bias / Forward Guidance: As with previous report, range bound. Slightly bearish to range support at 65.32 for the week.
Current (as of Aug 12, 2018) MACD is down on the daily oil chart.
Third most predictable trade (support and resistance of uptrend or down trend channels). On the chart an upward trending trade channel is presented and a downward option (channel support and resistance / trading range is represented as diagonal dotted orange lines and purple arrows – as made available, assist in displaying directional trade decision areas).
Fourth most predictable trade (support and resistance of 30 min quadrants). The diagonal lines make up quadrants (in this instance on a 30 min chart) and are represented as orange diagonal lines that make up geometric diamond shapes. These lines also assist in intra-day trade.
Fifth most predictable trade (support and resistance of most applicable Fibonacci) the Fib support and resistance lines are the horizontal lines in various colors with the exception of purple and yellow (see below). These horizontal lines become support and resistance for intra-day trade.
Sixth most predictable trade (support and resistance of historical support and resistance) Natural / historical support and resistance lines shown in purple or yellow – they represent historical support and resistance. The strongest of the historical support and resistance lines are shown in yellow horizontal and are typically accompanied by a yellow arrow marker.
Seventh most predictable trade signal we use are the time and price targets (red circles). When trade is in a significant uptrend or downtrend the targets become very precise and move up the indicator priority list quick.
Tues, Wed and Fri targets are most predictable in extended multi week uptrends or downtrends. In recent time, trade could be described as range-bound in recent downtrend.
The Eighth most predictable trade is intra-day. You will notice on some of the charting geometric shapes in green on some of my charting (at times). They are charted live in the trading room and at times the lead trader will highlight these areas intra with white outlines (typically geometric shapes such as diamonds or triangles).
Intra-day Trading Bias
Intra day bias is short – based on wide range resistance at top of quad.
Wide Trading Range – Buy and Sell Triggers for Swing Trading Crude Oil:
Trade the ranges noted above between the thick grey lines (grey arrows) for the most predictable swing trades between 58.13 to 61.72, 61.72 to 65.32, 65.32 to 68.92, 68.93 to 72.54 and 72.54 to 76.15. This is a highly profitable risk-reward way to trade oil if you can be patient to trigger at only the break of the wide range charting areas and are disciplined to cut a losing trade that does not prove in your anticipated trend.
Or trade the range between the channel diagonal lines at support and resistance in up or down channel (orange dotted diagonals).

Diagonal Trend Lines:
Diagonal trend-lines are critical inflection points (currently represented in red below on our conventional charting).
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 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 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!

Fibonacci Levels:
Watch the lines for support and resistance. Careful using them as traditional retracement levels with crude because the algo lines etc are more dominant / predictable. But the Fib lines are excellent indicators for intra-day trade support and resistance.
The Fibonacci lines are marked on main chart above.
Horizontal Trend-Lines (purple):
Horizontal trend-lines are not as important as the other indicators reviewed above, however, they do serve as important resistance and support intra-day for tight trading and they are important if thick (in other words they come from previous time / price cycles). WE STARTED TO REPRESENT THE REALLY IMPORTANT LINES IN YELLOW FYI FOR EASE. Refer to chart for current applicable horizontal trend-lines.
Horizontal trend-lines are marked on charts above.
Oil Time / Price Cycles:
Watch your email and / or my Twitter feed for time price cycles they may start to terminate.
Time / price cycles are the single most important indicator and my record calling them is near 100% – since inception seven months ago. The reason they are so important is that a trader does not want to be holding a crude oil instrument at termination of a time cycle if not absolutely sure if price will go up or down. A trade may choose to enter a large position in advance of a time price cycle termination IF THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF A DIRECTION IN PRICE and if the market is trading at a really important pivot area. In other words, if the market is trading at the bottom of the upward trending channel at a support (yellow lines) and we knew there was a significant probability of a time cycle about to terminate a trader may enter with a long position. The price really spikes or drops significantly when these important time cycles terminate.
The problem with time / price cycle terminations is they change from minute to minute (depending on where price is on the chart) so you have to be in the trade room to get the alert. Our lead traders will do everything they can in future to send these on SMS but we have to be careful because it can be difficult with so much going on in the room. The reason they (time cycles) change is because they are actually represented by or are geometric shapes in the chart – I know it sounds odd but I have (as I mentioned) hit these calls just shy of 100%. The oil political people know the same algorithmic modeling principles and they ALWAYS TIME THEIR BIG ANNOUNCEMENTS AROUND THE TIME PRICE CYCLE TERMINATIONS.
So if you can picture a triangle on the chart – and price is trading in the triangle – and price is going to come to the edge of the triangle and there is a significant support or resistance or an algo line terminating there too or a target (those type of indications)… then we know there is a high probability of a time and price change. In other words, it is where there are clusters of algorithm points that cross and when price is going to cross over that cluster is where they are. And these are represented on all the different time frames – the larger the time frame – the larger the time price cycle termination – the larger the spike or downdraft. This is where we establish our intra-day quadrants from for sniping trades (which we will put in to the room soon because it looks like the geo political rhetoric is over for a while making them more predictable). Difficult to explain in short. So we will do our best to SMS alert these in future.
Also, the real large or important time / price cycle terminations we know far in advance and they can be put in these newsletters.
If you review my Epic the Oil Algo Twitter feed, my blog posts and my story on our website you will get a feel for how accurate these calls are.
Alpha Algo Trading Trend-Lines (Primary – Red dotted lines. Secondary – White dotted lines):
To determine which algo line is most alpha (or probable) intra day, it is the nearest line to price action. This can also help you determine the trend of trade. If the algo line is trending up the price will follow it up until price is tested at an algorithm indicator (the main tests are diagonal trendlines, horizontal trendlines, time / price cycles etc – as I have shared with you). This is why it is important to watch all the lines because they are all support and resistance. To keep it simple trade the range (yellow lines) as I’ve mentioned but keep an eye on these indicators.
Current Alpha Algo Targets (Red circles):
Your closest target that crude is trending toward is always the most probable.Then, your second most probable is the one that is up or down trend depending on whether general price is in an upward or downtrend for the most recent week or so and what your other indicators look like (such as the MA’s I explained above).
The other way to determine which targets are in play is actually quite simple, you will notice that crude trades between the channel lines up and down and up and down and there are various support and resistance along the way. If it hits a target at the top of the channel you can bet most times (unless the next day like today) that the next target hit will be at the bottom of the channel.
Wait for the price to trend toward a target and take your position and watch as price gets closer and closer to the target. Remember, that the machines trade from decision to decision – or in other words from support to next resistance or resistance to next support or when the times come each week on Tuesday Wednesday and Friday they will trend toward the target that market price action determines they go to.
Our lead trader will explain more in the room and do not hesitate to ask our lead trader in the room by private message or on twitter to explain intra day decisions.

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

Crude Oil Trading Face-Off Results “Pro Trader” (Man) vs. EPIC Oil Algorithm (Machine Trading Tech)
Last week I was involved in a friendly oil trading challenge. The live alert trading challenge was between myself and our coding team (the team coding our oil algorithm charting models to a machine trading software platform).
The results are mind-boggling – learn to trade oil with the one or two set-ups explained below and you will realize returns so significant that you will likely never turn back.
This (and the follow-up) are the most significant trade reviews and analysis we have done since our inception. Take the time you need to study this report if you want to be profitable trading crude oil.
In this challenge we both used exactly the same charting – conventional crude oil charts and algorithm oil charts (courtesy of EPIC Oil Algorithm).
The coding team realized oil trading profit was hundreds of percent greater than mine. We both won – but they won big.
The coding team won big – with less time invested, less stress and they used a simple, absolute, rigid rules based oil trading system.
How they did it is explained in detail below.
This report could easily have been titled, “How to Trade Crude Oil in Today’s Market – With Intelligent Assisted Technology (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm).” However, it was a friendly competition between myself (lead trader) and our coding team, hence the title I used.
As you will see below, the results are absolutely astounding.
Allow me to explain who this article is suitable for, what data is reviewed in this report, the charting used and what trading rules were used.
This report is suitable for the following reader(s);
- If you want to learn to trade crude oil,
- If you already trade oil, are struggling to be profitable, and in need of a proper rules based trading process to be sure you win,
- If you are a pro oil trader exploring other profitable oil trading systems that may assist your ROI / ROE objectives,
- If you are researching what the future of the best oil trading systems will look like,
- And of course this report is a great study guide for current EPIC the Oil Algorithm clients.
Below I review in detail the following (with real chart examples, copies of our trading alerts and more);
- The surprising final results of our oil trading challenge between man and machine algorithm (both using the same information),
- The rules based trading process used,
- My personal learning experience after last week’s trading challenge.
How Trades Were Executed and the Information Used by The Traders (charts, algorithms).
As I explained above, this was a competition between our algorithm coding technicians trading crude oil with EPIC the Oil Algorithm chart models (algorithmic oil charting) vs. myself (lead trader at Compound Trading Group) using the exact same algorithmic charting and conventional charts. We both had access to the identical charting – algorithmic oil charting and conventional charting on various time frames.
In fact, the coding team executed their trades manually (as did I, of course). They were not executing their trades automatically (machine trading).
The massive difference in the trading results (the profit achieved) after the week of trading is directly a result of
- How the charts were used (interpretation),
- What charts were used and why (which charts were given more or less weight in decisions), and
- How trades were executed within the charting time-frames and structure.
In other words, we both had exactly the same information at our disposal, we both executed our trades manually, but we executed our trades on a slightly different rule-set within the same structured rules based trading system.
I was executing trades manually and intuitively (as a pro trader- in my mind) using EPIC the Oil Algorithm Charting Models (even on different time frames) and I also used conventional crude oil charting.
The coding team used the exact same oil charts, but the difference was that they executed their crude oil trades under a very strict system – using only the rules as prescribed by and under the reporting that is distributed to our clients in the weekly EPIC Oil Algorithm newsletter reports (the reports for those unaware include a rules based system along with various charting for the week).
The system of trading oil the coding team implemented was rigid to the rules of our algorithm model and my system was more pro trader intuitive – I flexed the rules as I felt I needed to. That was the simple and only difference.
Learning to trade crude oil successfully is not an easy task because conventional charting rules do not apply in many instances. Crude oil trading can be very volatile and as a result oil trading can be very profitable if you are on the winning side in most trades. If you loose as an oil trader it can be very punishing.
To trade oil successfully you need to know the structure of oil trade – the rules book and the playing field. Understanding the structure of oil trading charts, how to execute trades properly within that structure and when to cut losses and trim gains is critical to your return on investment (ROI) or return on equity (ROE).
Specifically how the coding team beat me so bad last week.
Lets review real life examples of the price of crude oil over the last week, how we each traded it, the conventional charting we used, the intelligent assisted algorithm charting we used, the trade alerts sent out, when and how each of us executed crude oil trades for excellent winning side returns, but with significantly different results.
The week prior to this challenge something interesting happened, our coding team foreman was allowed to start alerting oil trade alerts to our Twitter alert feed and wouldn’t you know it, in his first two alerts he lost big (I think he had a few small wins also). I on the other hand have been on the winning side of my trade alerts for months now. Of course our members enjoy that predictability… but there is a much bigger story here.
When our coding foreman lost, he was on the losing side of his first two alerts of his career because he didn’t follow one simple rule:
He did not close the trade when it went against him and as a result he lost big.
He alerted the trade entry properly, but when the trade of oil went against him he didn’t alert to close the losing trade.
This caused significant stress, challenged our team and much discussion ensued. We rolled around our work, the charting, the algorithm models, machine trading software scenarios, alerts, trading rules and more – over and over and over.
On my side of the story, I am alerting winning oil trades for months now with-out fail, but my trades are quick and only on the winning side of 10 cents to approximately 40 cents… about 20 cents on average. Now in oil futures a 20 cent or 30 cent win consistently is a fantastic living and in my thinking that’s great because I near always win and if you near always win that’s just fine…
but it doesn’t nearly take advantage of the power of the trading algorithm model charting I have at my disposal.
So before our challenge last week we both had a problem, I was leaving the majority of the obvious profit on the table even though my trade alerts were winners every time and he was not following the rule of closing a losing trade side alert that goes against you, and closing it fast.
We were both breaking the rules and we both would have much higher ROE if we adjusted some very simple things… our coding foreman adjusted perfectly – me, not so perfect – but this week is a new week so watch out!
Anyway, so we agreed to a challenge, he would not alert to the client oil alert feed for now and he would show me that he could trade explicitly to the rules as set out in the EPIC Oil Algorithm reports. And I would also do the same, but alert my trades and with a caveat that I could use my pro trader bias to over-rule the algorithm charting rules at will (my error).
A detailed account of our recent oil trades / alerts;
New traders should know that EPIC the Oil Algorithm chart models are charted on FX $USOIL $WTI but can be used to trade oil futures contracts $CL_F or leveraged oil derivative market products such as $USO, $UCO, $UWT, $DWT, $UWTI, $DWTI and more. I typically use CL contracts and will daytrade at times $UWT or $DWT if I am confident that I won’t be holding over-night.
Okay, first lets look at my trades / alerts (this is almost embarrassing to review – humility engaged).
In the examples below and the follow up report you will see actual screen shots of the live twitter oil trade alert feed (time stamped, real-time), screen shots of the private oil chat room and screen shots of EPIC the Oil Algorithm charting we were using (with notes).
Also it is important that the profit / loss represented are approximate as our team is trading various environments (read our disclosure) – we are testing and trading many platform scenarios, instruments (oil contracts, market derivatives, etc), with various traders, various accounts (real world and/or model platforms for testing purposes) in the team (as our work is toward achieving a machine trading environment and intelligent assisted trader platform – read about our mandates on our website) that it would take days to explain. Additionally, there are trades executed for win or loss that are never alerted to our members.
So for the purpose of this exercise I keep the analysis below simple and to what applies specifically to this exercise ensuring that we cover what the public (our member clients) would have had opportunity to act on in their own trading environment (actionable trading alerts) and if one did in fact act on the alerts what the expected returns may be vs. trading what the rules-based trading system of EPIC the Oil Algorithm reports prescribe to our members in the weekly reporting they receive from Compound Trading Group.
There will be a member only follow-up to this report published within 7 days that will show the 1 minute conventional charting used with exact entry and exit areas detailed on the charting with the thought process by the trader in each trade and this report will also include the machine trading charting that influenced our trade.
Oil Trade Alert # 1
The first trade that was marked as a tech trade was, but it was alerted internally by me and authorized to the tech to alert. So for the purpose of our competition it was my trade by origin (we’ve decided this in team discussion). So I’ll take it as I need all the help I can get here.
The first trade was 24 cent win at 2 oil contracts (avg) so it was a gain of about 510.00.
Oil trade alert to start the week 68.61 long, 68.85 closed (the initial alert).
Oil trade alert to start the week 68.61 long, 68.85 closed (the closing alert on #1 for the week).
Oil Trade Alert # 2
The second trade of the week was a timing cycle issue, price didn’t react soon enough so I closed the trade for a small profit.
A 5 cent win with two contracts for 100.00 win (approx).
Long 69.19 lead trader test size.
Closed 69.24 not holding in to time cycle when it is this soft.
Oil Trade Alert #3
The third trade alert has a type o that was obvious, but more important than that is that this is where the difference in the fine details put the coding team way ahead of me. At this point the trading was so intense that I had to generalize the tweet alerts, but you will get the point with what was alerted. There is more explanation below that clarifies the calculations here;
66.49 to 55.57 with contract sizing average of 3 contracts on about 3 times = 800.00 profit approx.
Long test 66.49 lead trader will cut fast as needed and trade chop.
This was obviously 66.57 and there were various type o’s, it should have read something like this…
Chipping out some 55.57 and waiting for next leg to go again.
At this point I alerted the member private Twitter feed that we would for the time alert in the live trading room (where I can speak on live mic broadcast to our oil traders) – this is specifically in a Click Meeting conference room (it is our main trading room that our EPIC Oil Algorithm bundle members can access as they like). We also have a private oil chat room in Discord and a public side on Discord.
At this point there were a number of trades, I will only include screen shots in this report specifically of what was alerted to only the Twitter feed (there isn’t time to get the audio from live trading room right now for the various occasions I was in that room last week – that will all be in a reconciled report from Jen in our offices). It won’t make a difference to the main point of this report – I was beat by the coding team so badly it doesn’t matter.
The real point of this exercise (this report) is to help oil traders with a rules based system to win and win with the highest return.
We’re trading possible turn in live oil trading room isn’t time to alert on feed.
Oil Trade Alert #4
The fourth oil trade of the week was a win. Short from 67.17 and cover at 66.80 for a 37 cent win at 3 contracts.
Win side 1100.00 approx.
Short test lead trader.
Short oil trade alert at 67.17.
Covered 66.80 lead trader – nice quick win on that alert.
Oil Trade Alert #5.
Oil trade number five was a decent trade from 67.13 (average) to 67.29 with trims starting at 67.27.
8 contracts at approx 14 cent profit = 1200.00 gain (approx).
Long lead trader break out test 67.09 – 67.18 4/10 sizing.
Trimming long positions 67.27.
Oil Trade Alert #6
There we many trades here and the range was .30 cents to the win side on the original alert. For simplicity it was 5 trades at an average size of 2 contracts at an average win of .10 cents.
Oil trade number six approx. profit = 1200.00
Long oil trade again here.
Trimming long oil positions here.
Too busy to alert all legs in and trims but we got a nice break up there 67.20s to 67.50s.
Summary of Lead Trader Alerted Trades to Live Twitter Feed P/L
So specific to only what was alerted as trade alerts on the live feed and the contract sizing for those trade alerts the total gains for the week = approximately 4900.00 for this account scenario.
Now lets look at what our coding team foreman was able to do with the exact same charting information (that I and our members can use).
In his instance he traded specifically to the rule-based system as prescribed to our members in the weekly EPIC Oil Algorithm reporting.
There were many trades in each leg. He started trades at 2/10 sizing then as the trade progressed he trimmed 1/10 size at resistance and if it failed would exit the other 1/10 at about have the trade range. As trade got above the key resistance he would add above key resistance 1 size and continue. And if the trade went against him right away he would cut fast. So he had a number of losses, but his losses were small and the wins far outweighed the gains.
The week started with an uptrend so he traded the key range support and resistance as prescribed in EPIC the Algorithm reports (gray horizontal line you see on chart below). As trade failed or at key resistance he would trim as noted above.
The key to his trading process was using the key range support and resistance as the launch area for longs, the short area for shorting oil and if the trade went against him he closed the trade for a loss.
The EPIC Algorithm Chart he was using (the gray horizontal line is the main support and resistance pivot prescribed to members and the other indications on the charting). How to trade crude oil applying the rules based process in this report can be reviewed in detail on our web site blog under EPIC Oil Algorithm and scroll down to unlocked historical charting – the more recent reports are locked to the general public. The EPIC reports explain specifically the rules based process in point form.
The first chart is the initial trading range for the week that our tech was using. The day and time is noted at the bottom of the chart. You can see how is bias for trade direction was specific to the main pivot area as provided on the algorithm charting.
Charting used by technician (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm Charting). Bias for trades is noted with green and red arrows.
You can see in the charting below that each time trade breached the main pivot on the charting model that his trading was to the long side bias until trade hit a significant resistance in the model (at which point he trimmed).
The first two on the chart are green arrow long side trades were off the main pivot and trimmed at the quad wall resistance area.
The the third is a red arrow on the chart as a short side trade bias because trade was already at the marked target price for the Tuesday 430 algorithmic target. In other words, there was a low probability of further upside gain prior to Tuesday at 430 so his short term bias was short.
Then the fourth arrow (green) and fifth (red) were a rinse and repeat of the bias explained above.
The sixth arrow (or trading bias area) was long in to the Wednesday 10:30 AM EPIC Oil Algorithm price target (for the up channel scenario) but trade turned and when it turned and lost the main pivot (gray) and the trading quadrant (orange dotted) he turned short bias in a significant way. There were many failures to the long side in the algorithmic model at this time in the trading week.
The short side bias was solidified with the expiry of the main time cycle in trade (purple arrows that separate the up channel scenario or lower channel scenario in the oil algorithm weekly reports).
The next time frame of the week (second) charting used by technician in his trading system with noted areas of trading bias with red and green arrows.
As trade moved to either side of the main pivot his bias is represented (per the process prescibed in the EPIC Oil Algorithm weekly reports) and then in to the bottom of a trading quadrant (he used the rules for trading quadrants) after oil selling off to extreme levels on the week.
As oil sold off the tech simply trimmed at support areas on the algorithm charting and added to short side bias as trade lost each support.
On the way down oil trade hit the Wednesday 10:30 AM EIA price target as published in the previous weekend EPIC report for the lower channel scenario.
The final chart time cycle used by technician in his trading system for week.
The last time frame was text book how to trade crude oil class. For this the tech moved to the prescribed trading process rules in the trading quadrant (the orange dotted lines that form a diamond). He simply took long side positions at the support of the quadrant and trimmed at the main resistance areas. Trade got in to the Friday 1:00 PM target but did not perfectly hit the center.
Trade ended the week at the top of the trading quadrant – near the quadrant basket where he assumed with trade direction and historical algorithmic chart from EPIC that trade was most likely to complete the week.
It’s obvious the technician using the rules based system prescribed to our members had significantly higher returns last week than I did. Our members will be receiving the full report.
As explained above;
There will be a member only follow-up to this report published soon that will show / explain the 1 minute conventional charting used with exact entry and exit areas detailed on the charting with the thought process by each trader in each trade and this report will also include the machine trading charting that influenced each trade.
The follow-up report will provide our members and our team staff opportunity to learn in great detail how to time the entries and exits of the trades. It will hopefully bring members in to the mind of each trader. This is a member only report because proprietary machine coding charting and various other proprietary information will be shared.
Also, please note that over the coming weeks in to the fall season that our techs will be alerting more and more to the live alert feed under and will be doing such exclusively under the rules based system as prescribed in the EPIC Oil Algorithm weekly reports to members.
Some Important Final Thoughts.
It is easy to look back and criticize your trades – especially when the trade direction is so obviously apparent on an algorithmic charting model such as EPIC’s as in this report.
I personally won’t be hard on myself (as you should not also) because it is impossible to be a machine and if I am on the winning side more than losing and my accounts are consistently green that is what matters most.
However, in my continuing quest to learn how to trade crude oil to my best ability I will be adjusting my oil trading style this week to more reflect the prescribed rules based system as prescribed in the EPIC Oil Algorithm weekly reporting. It obviously works and the science proves that – so I need to adjust to continue to get better as an oil trader and coach that teaches others how to trade oil.
I look forward to the follow-up report that Jen is writing now for our members that will provide in detail how last week trades were decided. She just finished interviewing me about each of my trades and is interviewing our tech team later today for the report.
Best with your trading and if there is anything you need from me reach out anytime on any of my personal social feeds or by email [email protected].
