Live Alerts for Swing Trading Service Registrants and Day Trading side are now available only on either email and/or by following alert Twitter feed. If you did not get an email send an email to [email protected] and ask Sartaj to get you info. Most of that I spoke to myself are opting for email only, but the Twitter alert system is available for those that choose that.
Two Week Trading Challenge is Over (34% vs. double up) and I Started a New One Monday. This time the trading challenge is six months.
Likely it now for two week 20k double small account trading challenge +6772.00. No double but 30%+ is okay ROI #tradingchallenge
I failed. My goal was a two week double up. BUT 34% I did hit IF done every two weeks is 1M 1,000,000.00 in 6 mos. That's my new challenge. pic.twitter.com/2fzD5nzRl0

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channeland 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).
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.
Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:
(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List :$RRGB 17%, $CBIO 11%, $JACK 9% $CHRS $QIWI $UVXY $TVIX $BDSI $TGT $XGTI $NUGT $JNUG $HMY $CLVS $VXX $CL $VIXY $TZA I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.
(2) Pre-market Decliners Watch-List : $SPY $XIV $LABU $JDST $DUST $DWT $AMD $NVDA $ABBV $AAOI $SVXY $DGAZ $ETSY $AEO $FAS $WFC $SQ $SNAP $GS $XLF $AKS $X $ESRX $P $DIS $TTD I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.
(3) Other Watch-List:
(4) Regular Algo Charting Watch-List: Gold $GC_F $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV $SI_F ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F, $UWT, $DWT), Natural Gas $NG_F ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)

Study:
For new readers, a review of our unlocked posts on our blog would help you get in to the story we are following with the securities listed in this newsletter.
Free scanners to find momentum stocks that you can easily review charts of for indicators that bring probability of your trade being successful up considerably. These are not useful for first 30 minute market open gap and go type plays (you need a good momentum scanner, level 2, and best to have hot-keys for the first 30 mins of gap and go trading)… but are very useful for intra day scalping and swing trading (start with trending stocks and then look at indicators intra for simple set-ups – study scan study scan study scan).

Market Day, Chat Room Trades and Personal Trades:
Traded $XGTI for a tiny papercut -150.00 and an OTC for a 50.00 paperwork. -200.00 on the day (not counting my swings from the swing trading side that had a huge day). Also reviewed $XGTI, $DXPE, $NATR, $WB, $ETSY in the mid day chart review but I was traveling (not using my usual computer) and a glitch caused the session not to record (ugh).

Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day).
NO VIDEO FOR TUESDAY (TECHNICAL GLITCH AS LEAD TRADER WAS TRAVELING)
Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:
Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades).
Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channeland 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).
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.
The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.
Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:
(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List : $XGTI $XTNT $AKBA $BDSI $WB $GILT $SINA $VOD $DB $VIPS $HD $FIT $NUGT $TOT $FEYE $LOGI $BP $SNAP $RIO $MOMO I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

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

Been holding these small bags wayyyy tooo long. I am holding (in order of sizing – all moderately small size – under 5% of my daytrading acounts) – $ONTX, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI, $LIGA (this is the daytrading portfolio and does not represent swing trading service portfolio): Looking at moving out of all these small positions over the next month or so.

Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:
Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day).
Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:
Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades).
Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

quarryrock: kicking myself for missing that entry this am at $155.80
Spiegel: In penny land, you could do worse than betting on a bounce in DCTH here at .032
Market Maven: 52 Week Highs $MOBL
Curt M_1: Bit of a squeeze there in $SGMO I missed
quarryrock: a better cheaper scalp is $URBN same trade going to $23 ahead of report

Spiegel: My HIIQ swing moving well today
Leanne: congrats S!

Spiegel: Please check out HIIQ Curtis
Spiegel: on the swing list
Leanne: we are not old!
Leanne: don’t say that I’m a year behind you only.
Leanne: but would you get into two in the same sector Curtis?
Spiegel: I would just pick one – whichever one catches your fancy
Leanne: I have a TC2000 subscription, hard to let it go and swtich to Trading View. May have to learn it… just to fit in!
Leanne: why! I like it, I got used to it and I’m an old cat, hard to teach an old cat new tricks.
Spiegel: Yeah, you don’t want to be like the kid who ate weird sandwiches at lunchtime in the school cafeteria
Tradergirl: LOL Spiegel! good grief.
Tradergirl: haven’t charted but hearing abt hiiq lots atm
Leanne: I think Spiegel
Spiegel: it was
Leanne: rofl
Leanne: no stress in that
Spiegel: for sure
Spiegel: breaks 50 and 100 all today
Leanne: HIIQ on a daily is far above the MA’s though so would this now be more daytrade?
will: auph
Spiegel: I like the look of that AUPH
Spiegel: even though the 20 just crossed under the 50, that wont last long since price trending up
Spiegel: on daily
Spiegel: MOMO showing some momo now too from its retracement
Leanne: Thanks Curtis
Curt M_1: no prob peeps
Spiegel: AUPH probably a safer bet here than HIIQ since not as extended
gary y: good info
Curt M_1: brb
Leanne: Curtis will you still be in this room after your oil room all set up?
Curt M_1: yup
Curt M_1: in both same time and both will have mods
Curt M_1: other algos getting theri own rooms too
Spiegel: I can just imagine joing 2 rooms and going back & forth
Curt M_1: ha
Spiegel: GOLD!…OIL!…..GOLD!….OIL!!!!
Curt M_1: ha
Leanne: OK, that’s too much stress for me right now! Sticking to here. I’ve just turned a major corner (wall climbing) and am starting to feel like a real trader
Curt M_1: good to feel real:)
OILK: Oil should fail after this target party or Sunday evening I agree
Spiegel: YNDXC interesting here. Beaking all time highs
Spiegel: YNDX
Spiegel: 52 week highs I mean
Spiegel: I see news some OPEC members pushing for deeper cuts or including new participants to join cuts (like Turkmenistan and Egypt)
OILK: Watching close Spiegel – they know where that line is those guys
OILK: Their timing is always on it
Market Maven: $GSAT is buy out rumor
Market Maven: Going to try some $GSAT here soon likely small
Tre: MM do you think $GSAT will run any more? Seems like thats it.
Spiegel: nothing stopping HIIQ or YNDX
Market Maven: I like them both
Market Maven: GSAT not sure tre
OILK: $VRTU spike
OILK: Flashed on scanner
lenny: $FEYE looking at initial entry before close.
Leanne: Lenny, can you tell me why you would enter FEYE now? I looked at it a few days ago but felt on a daily it was far off from the MA’s
Market Maven: My $GSAT working but not real confident in it
lenny: Global cyber attacks – next week good chance inducstry will get momo beyond current
Flash G: Hi Leanne, read your question. Typicall swing returns I achieve last 5 years around 40% prior to much less and recent much better. Cheers!
Leanne: Thanks Flash! how’s the scotch? I”m a gin gal myself

Volatility $VIX:
The historical seasonal tendency is for $VIX levels to trend lower until around July
Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:
Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day).
Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:
Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades).
Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

Curt M_1: I would enter over the 200 MA on 3 min as long as it was over the previous 60 min candle high which is the horizontal purple line at 36.24 and MACD on 3 min is crossed up and I would give it no room to downside – tight stop until it works – -and increasing volume on 3 min…. that’s how I would enter
Hedgehog Trader: $ASM looks jiggy
Curt M_1: how I would pick my entry on a swing
Hedgehog Trader: 10c til resistance

The two week trading challenge is over and I failed. My goal was a two week double up. But the 34% I did hit IF done every two weeks is 1M 1,000,000.00 in 6 mos. That’s my new trading challenge and I explain how these trading challenges can help you learn how-to trade stocks and build a small account.
This is Part FIve of the “Freedom Traders” Series – How I Learned to Get Over the Wall and What May Help You.
There are links at the bottom of this post to Part 1 : My Personal Stock Trading Story. How I Blew up Two Accounts and Then Learned How to Trade, Part 2 : Trading Checklist – Rules I Follow Before Triggering, and Part 3: Now I’m Inspired!.A Struggling Trader That Inspired Change, Part 4: We Want (Need) You! Apply to Nearest Recruiting Station.
Introduction:
This post is about my journey in challenging myself to become a better trader and how that might help you learn how to trade stocks.
There are many ways to become a better trader that I can administer in my discipline, but one thing that happens when you trade day in and day out is that focus gets easily lost in the noise. The noise of the markets, this thing called life and the noise in running businesses and more.
Hopefully this method of focus (trading challenges) assists you in your focus, helps you be a better trader, and for those that need – it may also help you with building a small account. You can use the same methods involved here Swing Trading as well as Day Trading.
So lets get started and I will explain below how to take advantage of our documentation of my journey to your benefit.
The Two Week Trading Challenge is Complete
So yesterday, Friday, was the last day of my two week trading challenge. The goal was to double a small account and I didn’t – I accomplished a 34% increase on the trade account balance. Is started with 20,000.00 and ended up with 26,772.00.
Here’s the tweet:
Likely it now for two week 20k double small account trading challenge +6772.00. No double but 30%+ is okay ROI #tradingchallenge
Likely it now for two week 20k double small account trading challenge +6772.00. No double but 30%+ is okay ROI #tradingchallenge

We video recorded the challenge daily in the room and have posted the daily trading room videos to our You Tube channel.
My New Trading Challenge
The new challenge will start Monday. The challenge is to meet the same return (34%) every two weeks and compound that amount every two weeks (compound trading) for six months. And after six months, if I succeed, that small trading account will have one million dollars in it. We will as always, trade live and record the process in the trading room and post it to You Tube.
If I fail then hopefully I come close. Either way, it is a great way to stay sharp and focused on winning. Turn off the noise and trade what is important.
I should be able to do it because in past trading challenges I usually did much better than this most recent one.

How my Trading Challenges Can Help You Learn How To Trade Stocks and Build a Small Account
We are documenting the process in various ways. It takes loads of time to document this process, but we’re slowly getting things up on You Tube and our blog is full of daily reports and analysis of trades etc.
And it seems to be helping! Getting a lot of feedback from people – really, really nice to see – it feels great!
"Best week in trading journey". 👊🎯 Now that my busy day is over, I re-read this in my study time. Importance of that statement is humbling. https://t.co/VqS0jobmUe
— Curtis Melonopoly (@curtmelonopoly) May 13, 2017
Below is a quick guide of how to access this documentation for your personal trade study;
Pre Market Trade Set Up Review. Every morning at 9 AM in the trading room I review with trading room members the set ups on momentum stocks for the morning. When we have time we post this specific half hour session to our You Tube channel. If we don’t have time to take that snippet there is always on our You Tube channel the complete raw trading room footage posted.
How does the premarket prep help you learn to trade? You need to know what you are looking for if you are going to trade momentum stocks. It is critical to success.
Market Open – Momentum Stocks. When the market opens (as with premarket) we endeavor to snip that and post it separate to You Tube. Same as above however, if we don’t it is still on the raw trading room video that is posted daily.
How does watching the market open momentum trade videos help you learn to trade? Often when I’m in a trade I explain what indicators I am looking at and why. Momentum stocks are more predictable than most realize, but you do need to know how to trade them properly or you will blow up your account.
Trading Room Raw Video Coverage. As I mentioned above, we record the whole session. When you review the raw video there are a few things to know. The video is turned on in premarket, which can be an hour or so before open. The time you see at the bottom right of screen is my local time. The more recent videos are done will have that time in mountain time so you have to add 2 hours for New York time. This is important because if you are looking for premarket comments, market open trades, mid day reviews or you want to correspond the time that may be noted on the transcript (more on transcripts below) with the raw video coverage you need to add two hours to the time you see on the screen that you see in the video. The transcript times noted are Eastern, the video time in bottom right corner (at least for now) is Mountain time. So that’s important when trying to correlate the transcript to the video.
Mid Day Chart Set Up Review. This is one of the most important parts of the day in our trading room to review if you are wanting to get swing trading ideas, learn how to trade stocks and the indicators / disciplines therein and for many other reasons. We do a mid day chart review everyday from 12 noon – 1 PM. You will find that if you review the last two weeks (during the trading challenge) that those videos are full of stock set-ups and trading knowledge. I am one step at a time taking the traders through the steps of trading with various indicators and trading disciplines. Here again, if we don’t post the one hour snippet you can still access it by reviewing the raw footage for the day (most days there are two videos of raw trading room footage by the way).
The last two weeks we dealt with what I would call chapter one of how to use indicators for trading (daytrading and swingtrading) and how to find the proper chart set-ups. So every day at lunch we’ve been reviewing chart picks, chart set-ups, and I have been training on charting indicators and how to trade through the set-ups.
Our members can even ask for specific charts to be brought up on the trading room board and I will review their charts, give them my take on the set-up and my take on when I would enter or exit the trade on daytrading and swing trading time-frames. Our members can even send me their trading plans and as I have time I review them and send back any comments.
Also, we just started what I would call Chapter Two of trading chart set-ups in the room on Friday, we are now getting in to more Fibonacci work, risk reward, and how to trade out of bottom set-ups with moving averages and fib extensions.
Post Market Trading Results Report. The post market reports are one of the best learning tools we have for traders. The complete transcript from the trading room for the day is in the report, the various trade set ups for day and swing trading are discussed, my trades for the day are reviews, the trading room raw footage is embedded and there are various other things a trader can use. You can take the trades in the transcripts and see what was discussed in the room (chat) and also review the trade on video feed to see what I had to say about the set up and more. As we get time we are also snipping individual trades and putting them up on You Tube.
I’ve Heard It All Over the Years from The Naysayers – Transparency is Key & Challenges with Building a Small Account
I’ll just say it quick, we endeavor to be the most transparent traders on Wall Street. Why? Because it deals with the trolls and naysayers fast. If every call, every trade, everything we do is documented on video and in various blog posts etc then that deals with the naysayer. Now, there are very real and considerable challenges to building a small account – especially as you scale.
You will find if you attend our trading room that there are not a bunch of wild west cowboys blowing their brains out. We win, we all win a high percentage of the time. And for those that don’t believe that the majority of our members win most of the time – review the daily transcripts and tell me I’m wrong. Why do we win? Because we respect the disciplines of a process in trading. We don’t gamble.
The bottom line is I take a small amount (in this case a 20k piece) and start a small account and go about building that.
Now, specific to building a small account as it relates to trading… there are challenges. There are things (risk) such as blowing your account up. Or, for example, as you scale there is the issue of sizing in and chipping out large entries and how exactly that is done and what type of instruments you can or should be trading at various levels in the build of your account. Some of things are dealt with here on our website also (see the last section of that page about the compound trading discipline).
Nonetheless, ALL OF THOSE concerns will be dealt with as I build my small account (this post would turn in to a book if I explained each here). How will these concerns be dealt with as I build my small account? I will be of course training and working with our members in the trading room all day long on the various disciplines therein. How does this help you if you are not in the room? In two ways; one; if you are not a member you can access the information I pointed out above and two; if you are a member we will be compiling slowly polished video series that will deal with each trading set-up and discipline / challenge you will encounter in building a small account.
How to Get Involved
Swing Trading – If you have a day job and you’re a swing trader we have services for you – visit the website. You can get swing trading newsletters with set-ups regularly and you can view trading room videos in your personal down time at home when you are not at work. This trading challenge and the disciplines therein apply to swing trading also (as I mentioned above). You can even on your day off come in to the trading room on occasion over the lunch hour chart review and ask me to review charts you are considering. Or, you can send me your charts.
Day Trading – If you are a daytrader you can get in to our trading room and trade along with us. You can even take that up a notch and join the challenge with me. Send me a note and tell me you’re ready to do that and I’ll work with ya and you’ll be part of that team. You may shoot for 1% every two weeks or even 34% like myself, or whatever, it doesn’t matter.
Casual Observers – Our post market trading results reports are published to our blog daily and they are not locked. You can review those and the publicly available videos anytime on You Tube.
What’s My Plan Going Forward?
My plan going forward is to have a trading room with winners. That’s it. I don’t care how big the trading room is – we do very well with our algorithmic model charting services and the trading room subscribers could never match that or even come close as it relates to my financial benefit. So I’m not doing this for that. I’m doing this because its a passion. I love trading and I love seeing new traders get out of the muck and mire the industry noise has them in. It’s brutal – very, very brutal and I’d like to be a part of the solution.

In January I want to hold a Freedom Traders summit where we can all meet, somewhere on a beach and finally meet face to face. Have a few days to unwind, celebrate in our success, take in some leisure events and maybe have some guest speakers. Basically I would like to award us with a job well done.
Let me know if any of this appeals to you and lets get you involved.
My challenge starts Monday and I hope to have you along for the flight!
"Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude."
Message me anytime with your story or questions. And if you follow me on Twitter and I don’t follow back so you can DM then send us an email to [email protected] with your Twitter handle.
I have had a number of people message me to get involved in our launch – with moderating, coding and at various other levels! I will be writing back to those inquiries soon – as soon as we’re done initial set-up of services, which should be within two weeks.
I apologize if you receive this more than once, this is going out to various platforms
Today’s live trading room link is here http://compoundtrading1.clickmeeting.com/livetrading
Friday’s Premarket Newsletter will be handled live only in the room before open! And the Post Market Trading Results for Thursday will be published this weekend!
We are busy in the lab getting ready for this weekend’s announcements and all the new service upgrades that start Monday (per yesterday’s email);
– This weekend is the public announcement for 24 Hour Oil Room and subscriptions will be made open to public (a total of 50 only will be made available for the beta launch July 1, 2017 – at latest, it may be earlier).
– Monday the new live alert service starts for the Daytrading and Swing Trading Platforms launch. If you are a subscriber to either be sure you follow the alerts Twitter feed per Sartaj’s email yesterday.
– This weekend all algorithm charting is reset and upgraded to their next phase models in their development ($SPY, $VIX, $USOIL $WTI, $SILVER, $GOLD, $DXY) – exciting times for us! Between now and then you can expect the next phase versions of each to arrive in your inbox per yesterday’s email (copy below).
– This weekend the Swing Trading platform receives its upgrades (see notes per the swing trading newsletter reports at top of each newsletter) and they will be made available before Monday.
– Because all algorithms are being reset (as this premarket note is written) there will not be updates this morning (all are in their respective trading ranges so it worked out ok), but nonetheless, if you have any questions about the upgrades in process or the services, email or DM us anytime. A refreshed EPIC chart will be sent to members before open FYI.
So that’s all for now, join us in the room today if you can (it’s the last day of my two week challenge today) and this weekend will bring all the new upgrades and a new week next week!
Cheers!
Curtis

Charting News

Good morning traders / Members.
A note about the upcoming changes in algorithm models and items such as 24 hour oil trading room.
We are going to ask our $SPY members for some grace on the reporting until this weekend.
This weekend EPIC the Oil Algo enters its next phase (in prep for 24 hour trading room the charting will be converted to also include futures and go on to coding) and all the other charting reports enter the next phase in their evolution of reporting.
Specific to $SPY, $SPY enters a more detailed charting phase (more resembling EPIC’s) and with that will bring considerably more report rotations weekly and considerably more detailed charting. Between now and then our techs are preparing the charts. So between now and Sunday (as long as there isn’t a considerable change in trading range) we will simply ask you to refer to the existing charting at the link below (when the viewer comes up hit the play button to bring charting up to date). When the next phase is released this weekend the charting will be available outside the viewer as EPIC’s are which will make them more useable and as I mentioned they will be considerably more detailed.
For now here is the current chart link and we are more than sure you will enjoy the next phase of $SPY reporting to be released this Sunday https://www.tradingview.com/chart/SPY/fmvbclRj-SPY/
Specific to $VIX, it is the only one of the six algorithm models that is not locked in (as it concerns the algorithm math – and frankly we are not sure whether it will ever become completely locked in), nonetheless, commencing this weekend our rotations will be more regular and the charting will be much more detailed (the charts will be primarily based on conventional charting – but more detailed than in past nonetheless).
Specific to $GOLD, $SILVER, $DXY; we will continue (for the most part) reporting to members off-site direct (you may have noticed we do not post these to the blog), however, as soon as the $SPY algorithm is brought up to it’s next standard of reporting (which will take approximately a month to completely build out) we will then start publishing $GOLD, $SILVER and $DXY regularly to the blog and their charting models will also at that point enter the next phase making them more like or detailed as the EPIC reports are.
And last, specific to the swing trading platform, there are changes there (the service is getting a live alert service over next few days and the reporting structure is being improved). The change details are detailed at top of each swing trade newsletter for members.
So in summary, all the algorithmic models are moving up a phase in reporting between now and July 1, 2017 and the details of such are above. This will of course come with a price increase as they are elevated but existing members are grandfathered without price increase as long as subscription remains continuous.
Oh, and on a final note, if you are going to be taking part in the 24 hour oil room, be sure to register over the next day or so – we are going to release subs to the public this Sunday at latest and we will be capping membership to fifty members while we are in the beta phase (which is expected to last approximately 90 days) to ensure quality and staff training time etc.

Market Outlook :
Looks like clear skies on deck .Watch those large and mega caps – when they stall things could change. And don’t forget our $SPY algo warned about recent highs.
Per recent reports:
There are significant resistance clusters above recent highs in oil and the S&P so I will be very cautious to upside going forward until recent highs are taken out and confirmed. I see significant upside challenges in Oil and SPY with most recent highs being taken out.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channeland 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).
I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).
Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:
(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Set-Ups.
