Trader Notice
RE: Internet Stability – Live Trading Room, Trade Alerts, Swing Trading Webinars, Machine Trading etc
We’re all set up at the new location, the internet is smokin’ fast for a beach location at 100 – 140 mbps, and upload isn’t bad either around 20. It’s a fiber line and stable.
However, there are still issues with internet capacity globally so we may have issue at times.
AND, Click Meeting is still having some issue with server capacity (intermittent).
Sunday night is the worst as is lunch hour during week and right around market open each day.
We have internet back-up services (2) should there be intermittent failure – for machine trading, trading alerts, communications etc.
Specifically as it applies to the trading room for live trading and swing trade webinars I would still expect intermittent issues. If you find that the trading room shuts down you may or may not have to sign back in depending on whether it is a click meeting server capacity issue or not.
Anytime we have a crash we will simply sign back in ourselves.
Specific to the Sunday Swing Trading $STUDY Webinars this is the worst time of the week for the internet capacity globally (COVID related) so if we have issues we will continue to sign back in and it doesn’t matter to me how long it takes to complete the $STUDY. Literally if it takes all night I don’t mind because this is my normal overnight study session anyway to prepare our traders for the upcoming week.
I tell you this so that you can use your own discretion for time management, it is much quicker to scan the videos after the fact than it is to be in the webinar itself.
Also for consideration, it can take some time to upload the videos to YouTube and get you the links (again depending on internet through Sunday night in to Monday morning). It happens to be the worst time of the week but this is when best to prepare for the week as futures have opened and the news flow starts as the global markets start to open.
Any questions let me know.
Thanks

BOOOM! Price and Time Exactly as Predicted Days in Advance | Part 3 – How We Daytrade Crude Oil #OOTT $CL_F $USOIL $WTI $USO
Part Three of What They Won’t Tell You and How We Daytrade Crude Oil Against the Machines
“And there you have it, the power of machine AI trading in crude oil futures.”
https://twitter.com/EPICtheAlgo/status/1255927696447737858
In part 2 of this series on day trading crude oil, we left you here (the chart below), price of oil had moved through the structured chart model and had taken out the one price target before the ultimate target at the top of the structure. At each leg in this recent oil rally from lows I’ve shown you in this series the chart model we are using on the one hour time frame (we use all time frames). I also provided screen shots of the oil trade alerts, oil trading room, charting, guidance and various other commentary we provide our clients.On April 30 at 12:01:49 (date stamp on chart below) my commentary was that crude oil had met the second to last or final price target in the structure and that tomorrow (Thursday) we could expect oil to continue rally in to the ultimate price target prediction at 1:00 PM.
Crude oil price target met on 1 hour time frame, should see our pull back now for final run tomorrow.
As this was happening I was tweeting about it live on my public facing personal Twitter feed, below is a link to the thread:

so the game is find the time-frame and use the model they’re using, but it’s all done with machines making those decisions and computer scientists constantly updating code, its a massive war game of techies competing for dominance, that’s oil trade in today’s world #OOTT $CL_F

And then in to the time cycle peak the next afternoon, this happened…
“And there you have it, the power of machine AI trading in crude oil futures.”
Price target hit right on time for the right price, perfectly in to oil settlement at 2:30 PM on Thursday.
NOW, it is important to note that the chart model was originally calling for the 1:00 PM one hour candle and not the 2:00 candle, but if you look at the chart below the time cycle peak (noted with vertical blue dashed line on chart) moved over to the 2:00 timing. This happens with Trading View charting, the timing slowly moves over a period of days.
So the hit was not only perfect to the timing and price but hit at exactly 2:30 which is half way exactly through the 2:00 one hour candle. It couldn’t have been a better alerted price target hit.
What made it even more exciting for us in the oil trading room was that price had started to come off strong as it neared the time cycle and I thought (as I know other traders did) ah okay there we go we’re not going to hit the price target, and then right before 2:30 the price of crude oil took off in grand style and hit the target – price rallied 300 points in about 30 minutes.
Machine programs were identified and the volatile rally ran up and didn’t stop until the price target was hit, right on time. It was a crazy day trading session in crude oil.

The comment from one observer on my Twitter feed made me laugh:)
“That’s fucking incredible.”
https://twitter.com/vossomsauce/status/1255930112127766534
So we got a rally from 9.90s to 19.60s and it was not only strong but very structured and we called it days in advance.
How does this benefit a trader? Using time cycles and structured chart models help an oil trader (swing trader and day trader) significantly with strategy for bias of trade size, risk management, directional bias of price in trend and more.
Some options traders in our group really like this work. Swing traders like this for trimming profit at all the decisions along the way as the charts are marked for support and resistance areas of trade. How you trade it is up to you.
When we alert the set-up and our trade entries we do our best to provide our day traders and swing traders with guidance to directional bias, support and resistance areas of trade to watch and more. But ultimately it is a much different thing to run the technical analysis than it is to trade it, or even code software to trade the price of oil.
Trading isn’t easy, especially something like crude oil, but with the right critical thinking and best in class chart models to form a solid trade strategy it does help keep you on the winning side.
My goal is to build the best oil trading room and alerts service in the world for traders, it is a large task, but the hardest part of our mission is done, we can trade with the best machines in the world now. The rest should be easier.
Any questions please send me a note via email [email protected].
Thank you.

Good morning Traders!
Crude oil topped out yesterday in its run up from lows April 28 – now (at time of writing I see price is spiking in premarket and bulls may take another run at highs). The OPEC pump is on.

We wrote a two part article on the time cycle work we are doing in crude oil trade specifically to the one hour time frame, we called the intra-week top tick almost to the penny and time, days in advance. You can read the article that includes the oil trading room minute by minute with trade alerts here.

It is important for all instruments of trade if you’re going to trade the future markets to understand what the machines are doing, they do drive price along with other reasons of course.
Our machine coding to equities, commodities, currencies and crypto are all rooted in the discipline of the analysis you will find in that article I reference (it is a two part article that is thick and difficult to read but if you put aside an hour you will understand the concept and it will help you in any trading of any instrument for daytrading and swingtrading).
Our timing with the recent profit trims in Gold $GC_F $GLD $XAUUSD was excellent in the 1720s. Gold is now trading 1678.00 in premarket and we are looking at adds long at bottom of chart structure in your reports.
Natural Gas is up nicely this morning, we’re looking for adds to the long starter we have, however, I’m not sure where we are going to add, watch the alert feed.
Our profit trims in SP500 $SPY long positioning was executed quite well, we knew there was a high probability of time cycle inflections in to end of week (considering the Thursday afternoon oil time cycle peak) as alerted, so this worked out really well. Here also we’re looking for adds to the positioning, watch the alerts.
The Volatility long trade in to peak last cycle was near perfect with $VIX and $OVX (20s to 330s) and the alert last few days surrounding supports near was also spot on, we haven’t added to our long positioning yet, but it shouldn’t be far out.
The Bitcoin $BTC long positioning and recent trims on resistance are good but it’s still in bull mode this morning at time of writing 8938.00, so it’s an excellent swing trade no doubt, we’re watching for top of structure on model charting you have to see more profit trims.
Silver $SLV as expected is still under pressure and we’re just looking for adds to long positioning at chart model supports (see your reports).
Equities this recent cycle, timing was almost perfect, it was a great start to the cycle. I had called the cycle to start April 10, 2020 and the our models had it about 10 days prior (the models were closer than my call) but it couldn’t have been better. Timing cycles have been fantastic. Market highs we got, the down turn we nailed really hard and now this recent run up has been a good start. And even this week calling an interim rest in the cycle was spot on. Now we’re in $STUDY mode as we took our profits in to last few days.
I’ve received a number of personal notes from our Swing Trading Alerts platform users recently (on email mostly) and I think I’ll be asking you folks if I can post them anonymously to our website as swing trade reviews for other traders looking in to swing trading services. I appreciate hearing from you, it does make the work we do worthwhile when you hear about traders becoming disciplined consistently profitable traders. It will be good to meet as many of our new trading members as can make it out in the near future. Eventually most end up visiting the island.
Don’t miss the Sunday Swing Trade $STUDY Webinar series restarting this Sunday at 7 pm. If you’re not a registrant there are still 4 spots for this Sunday. If you can’t attend live the videos are sent out thereafter.
I will be in a location this weekend again where high speed stable internet is 100% as we know the area well.
Next week will be very active in the live trading room and we start daytrading the swing trade set-ups on lower time frames also soon (this requires us updating the swing trade charting to lower time-frames for daytrading, coming soon).
EPIC V3.1.1 crude oil trading alerts have been firing very well post Black Swan code updates. Last night taking a short side trade that was almost to the minute perfect. Huge range in that short so it worked out well for our oil traders.
Beauty of a short sequence EPIC V3.1.1 started at 1:00 AM, see article(s) pinned on my account.#OOTT $CL_F $USO $USOIL pic.twitter.com/fkT4U49HGY

Themes will be the power of returns in the next time cycles in to the election and beyond, we’re working at these every day and you can expect a lot more swing trade set-ups over the weekend and in to next week.
this is the big risk management, sizing bias Q 💯🎯
imo add some critical thought toward who / which narratives are taking hold in the information war and you can size your themed trades within the cycles for best ROI https://t.co/kYO4pwr0or

Today my advice is to go very easy, put your time in to $STUDY, every hour invested in preparation for markets pays massive dividends.
I wouldn’t expect super active trade in the live room today, but you never know. I would however expect such next week to be extremely active as I’ll have my high speed line to work with and there are a number of videos I need to do, like a $STUDY on how to scan for swing trade set-ups, how to trade the one hour crude oil model we’ve recently locked in for our oil traders and various others.
back to surfer class living this weekend

Oh, and I have the most recent time cycle swing trade profit and loss in my hands, I’ll review and add study notes and send out this weekend. This will also help those looking for a current trade position listing. Blow out performance, it’s getting better as we go, which is good of course!
If you want direct access to me on Whatsapp send your request on email and I’ll connect on there with you. It works well as sometimes I am away from my trading desk and if you need a hand with a trade I’m right there right now.
As always if you need anything be sure to email [email protected] and have a great weekend!
Thanks
Curt
