Crude Oil Trade Strategy Updates Week of May 19, 2019.
Signals for CL Day Trading, Trend and Swing Trading. Intra-Day, Daily, Weekly, Monthly Time-Frames.
The charts, algorithm models, signals, price targets and guidance included below are suitable for mechanically executed trading and are also the models our coding staff reference for our crude oil machine trade development.
With each chart model we may include trade strategy notes for your consideration.
For perspective review historical reporting on our blog and the various videos we have published to our YouTube channel.
Much of the structured model discipline used is similar in concept as discussed in this video; Mathematician Who Cracked Wall Street.
Crude oil price moves within structured areas (ranges) of charting on various time frames (different time cycles in trade). The structure oil price moves within (the range) can be one minute charting timing through to monthly charting. Time-frame set-ups / strategies are charted as conventional chart set-ups and/ or algorithmic chart set-ups (structures). Understanding and having each time frame at your immediate access (both conventional and algorithmic) will increase the probability of profitable trading.
Sizing your trades appropriate to your trading account and time frame for each set-up is additionally positive strategy.
Using the correct chart time-frame specific to your trading strategy is critical. Generally, the lower (smaller) the time frame the less predictable the support and resistance areas of the chart will be. However, the larger time-frames (monthly, weekly, daily) can also have significant “slippage”.
Generally, the idea is to enter your positions based on the structure for the specific time frame you are wanting to trade referencing the other time frame support and resistance or range within the trend. The basic method is to understand the range of trade and execute trade long bias when price is near support for the appropriate time frame / structure and the opposite is true for short trades.
Our staff use the thirty minute model structures (range within trends) most often for primary areas of support and resistance trading signals referencing all other time-frames in their trading strategy.
Positioning should be significantly biased to the trending range of trade. For more information about trend identification for trading various time-frames refer to this article on Investopedia; Multiple Time Frames Can Multiply Returns.
If you have questions about the models below please email us at [email protected].
Not all charts are updated every week and some concept or test charts are added or deleted on occasion.
Please note, the chart links are now distributed specific to each user or small group of users. If you are using more than one device to access the charting, to avoid disruption of service, please email us a simple / general description of those devices to assist in controlling dissemination.
EPIC Crude Oil Algorithm Model. 30 Minute Oil Chart Structure.
The EPIC algorithm model chart below is a proprietary structure that has been back tested sixty months on thirteen time-frames. The model represents the most probable areas of support and resistance in oil trade within this specific time-frame.
The levels noted on the EPIC model are to be used as important areas of consideration for support and resistance (trade signals) for your trading strategy when using conventional charting set-ups / structures and/or other algorithmic charting.
Resistance and support areas on the thirty minute charting oil trade structure are at each line on the algorithmic chart. The primary areas of support and resistance are;
- Outer quadrant walls / also used as channel support and resistance (orange dotted diagonal lines), the half way point between each is often an executable buy or sell trigger in trade (not shown on model below),
- Mid channel line for uptrend and down trend (white dotted diagonal),
- Mid quad horizontal (not marked but is at the mid point of the quad),
- Fibonacci levels (various horizontal colored lines),
- Historical areas of support and resistance (purple horizontal).
- The intra-week swing trading range is from thick horizontal gray line to the next (commonly becomes a pivot area of trade).
- Also of note are the price targets for Tuesday 4:30 PM (API), Wednesday 10:30 AM (EIA) and Friday 1:00 PM (Rig Count). The Tuesday and Wednesday targets hit significantly more often than the Friday target (red circles with red or green vertical dotted lines intersecting).
- At times other indicators are added to the chart such as trend lines and moving averages.
The video at this link explains How to Use EPIC Oil Algorithm: $USOIL, $WTI, $CL_F, $USO, #OIL, #Trading, #Algorithm, #OOTT as does this video Oil Trading Room – How to Use EPIC the Oil Algorithm Model Chart June 21 #OIL #OOTT and this Webinar 1: EPIC the Oil Algorithm.
When conventional crude oil charting coincides (or agrees) with the EPIC algorithmic model support and resistance this is then considered a significant buy or sell trigger (signal) for crude oil trade.
Remember to be aware of (at minimum) the primary support and resistance areas on the larger time-frames (lower time frames are not as critical) – in this instance (when trading the 30 min time frame) the 1 hour, 4 hour, daily, weekly and monthly charting should be considered when sizing your trades etc.

May 19 – White trend lines have been added this week for top of recent trade range on watch. Also, in preparation for a possible turn down in range or a break – out above the trend line we have added the moving averages to the charting.
It goes without saying that we are watching the resistance trendline above (white line on algorithm model) and a break down possible under corresponding to price resistance at moving average resistance tests as price bounces and tests each moving average.

One Minute Oil Trading Model. Ideal for Intra-day Crude Oil Trade.
The one minute oil trading model provides for pinpoint trade entry, sizing and exit points for daytrading oil. It is also used for squeeze scenarios in oil day trading. The main range is between the red / blue areas with thicker dotted white lines. The range is considerably more predictable in a squeeze scenario.

Crude Oil Trade Setup Strategy When 20 MA Crosses up 200 MA with Price Above on One Minute Chart.
42 tick move when the 20 MA crossed up through 200 MA with price above on the one minute oil chart. There was some chop after price initially moved above 200 MA with 20 MA so you have to be prepared for this scenario. Often day traders will wait for price to get above the 200 MA and over the next level (the next Fib, the next MA or VWAP or previous / recent high in progression).

Crude Oil Trade Setup Short Strategy When 20 MA Crosses Down 200 MA with Price Below on One Minute Chart.
38 tick move when the 20 MA crossed down through 200 MA with price below on the one minute oil chart. There were a few pops up over 200 MA with price after initially coming under 200 MA so you have to consider that, quite often traders will wait for the confirmation when the 200 MA test fails to upside (which happened in the example below when the 50 MA then crossed down the 200 MA with price under).

Choppy intra day trade in crude oil on one minute chart. Wait for confirmation signals.
The example one minute oil chart below provides charting for choppy intra-day scenario. This is an example of why waiting for confirmation signals is prudent. Also note that this choppy intra-day trade was early in the evening in early futures trade, typically not the best time of day to trade crude oil. 3:00 AM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time is best for trading oil.
Also consider the trend line support and resistance and moving averages on both the 30 minute algorithm chart model and the conventional 30 minute oil charting.

Daily Chart Trading Model.
The daily time frame provides a larger structure to consider. The diagonal Fib lines are important as are the mid quad horizontal lines. The moving averages (especially the 200 MA) should be considered in your trade strategy. The MACD is a common indicator on the daily oil chart for forward positioning and trend bias.

April 28, 2019 Trading Strategy / Set-Up Based on Symmetry in the Trend on the Daily Chart.
A sell off in exact place in structure of daily chart model did occur once previous in this trend (see two circled areas on daily chart below).
The two instances of selling pressure in the bullish daily trend in oil trade happens to be a perfect symmetrical measured extension in the progression.
IF crude oil trades up the same measured extension as the low to the first sell off in the symmetry, this would imply a high in this trend for crude oil on FX USOIL WTI to approximately 69.00 – if symmetry continues.
Before a pull back, or about 600 ticks from where oil is currently trading at 62.96.
