Our Live Documented Journey to Compound Day Trading Crude Oil Futures for Gains That 99% Would Only Dream Possible…

And one of the best parts of our mad journey; we’re now beyond Concept and Theory…

and we’re proving it LIVE (well on our way to… Fact).

We are now Trading Crude Oil to Over 1% Per Day Returns, Live.

We have many other trades that are not live also because we are testing many models).

It’s been a bit of a petri dish. So far.

But as of late we’ve stopped the petri. It was unavoidable (the petri part).

Side thought – In all fairness, only we know what the petri part is (well not completely true because members do know the rules for the most part). The important point being… we’re done petri.

We are now trading crude oil in our process with consistency and ease, real-time live and we’re recording it, we are alerting the crude oil trades on a private Twitter member feed and sharing our work process (including all rules sets, thoughts, charts and more) in chat, and we’re even trading crude oil live in our oil trading room with screen share of our charts and voice broadcast from myself alerting the trades.

0.

The probabilities that our rule-set fails now after hundreds of trades, especially now that we are in minimal discovery and quickly moving to refinement and consolidation phases is… well, near 0.

Maybe.

Oh, and even more reason … our software runs trades near 24 hours a day now (non-alerted at this point), and nearly never loses. When it does, it’s for pennies. Soon we’ll unleash him/her (it) live.

Maybe.

For all intents and purpose, we don’t lose when manually executing trades either. Sure, we do lose sometimes, but very small if we do – very small. And even our manual executions are getting better all the time. And we (I) suck as traders.

Here’s an even better part; 3%, not 1% sees 10,000.00 to 2 Million Dollars in 180 days. And we’re going to do it.

Nobody knows the future! I know, I know.

1 – 3 Hours a Day.

A cool part… we do 1% or more with 1 – 3 hours a day of trade focus. Usually closer to an hour or so. We’re kind of busy with something I never thought I’d be doing…. code, machine learning, science, quantum thingys and other mind places.

Anybody Does Do It.

And better yet; anybody can do it. Why? Because we’re refining the process to its most simplest form. Quantum mind things to simple.

But there’s too many lines! I know, I know.

We have non traders (on staff) starting to use the rule-set and even starting to alert their trades. And the coolest part, they may be better at executing the trading rule-set than the experienced oil traders (initial indications are this could be very plausible).

We Like Tents… Almost as Much as We Love Beaches.

And the near best part (in my little world)… the money ain’t the motivator – I’d be equally happy living in a tent on a beach. Oh wait, I almost do. The shiny floors at the Hard Rock in Punta Cana were never my thing anyway.

And the best part; freedom is near (unless the world ends or something). Not only is freedom near for our staff (that have worked tirelessly day and night) but for our clients and members and their families and their families. Get the drift? This is why I’m so excited.

The Dream Realized. Next!

And we’re near done the first of many (instrument trading processes) we are developing. We’re in the final phases with our oil trading platform, soon it will simply be maintenance updates to the manual trading and machine trading parts of our oil trading services.

Yes, the other algorithm models and swing trading are next.

The Point? 

Sharing our journey. I did promise when we started all this. That I would share.

Selling you on it. So you can join the movement to freedom. So you can help. So maybe you can be a part of it. Maybe you’ll take the next steps? Maybe anything is possible.

Maybe you will be our next donor when our software development needs a few million for the app.

Or maybe we’ll just boot strap that too.

Maybe I’ll inspire you. That would be novel.

Promises.

I also promised our sharing will end soon. It will be this year.

We’ll still be around to chat.

We’ll still have our enterprise.

We just won’t share.

It’s tiring. I just made a promise to share, to a point:)

How is it Done? … the trading up 1% gains or better in crude oil a day.

Follow the Madness:


In an effort to provide trading guidance to our members on a regular basis and in the spirit of operating a transparent trading service, my letter to members below should provide clarity on our goals for 2019 and how we see the markets shaping up for trade.

2017 and 2018 Market Guidance Review.

Prior to the election we signaled bullish on equities and had a fantastic six months post election with huge returns. Then consistently our returns have softened and the last quarter returns have been less than 40% (if calculated on an annual basis) – specific to no algorithm trades. So we went from 400% to 40% since the election (again, if you calculated various time frames based on annual basis).

Late June of 2018 we started signalling a slow down in equities and our alerts and swing trading publications slowed, the market did in fact turn down. However, the end of that time cycle is here now.

Our time cycle work with instrument structure has been by far our highest probability guidance.

2019 Market Guidance Overview.

The list below coincides with our algorithm models and swing trading.

At this point, the time cycle inflection looks as follows;

SPY / equity markets bullish in to early May 2019 (some sectors will do better than others – hence our theme based approach to swing trade reporting and alerts in to 2019) with possibility for more frequent volatility spikes.

Oil bullish in to early May 2019.

VIX bearish in to early May 2019 however (as above) we see probability of VIX spikes very high.

Gold and Silver to hold moderate with likely pressured trade to bearish side.

Bitcoin as with Gold and Silver.

US Dollar DXY to come under bearish pressure.

If the above plays out as we expect then come mid May 2019 there is a high likelihood that the opposite for everything listed above (with possibly the exception being DXY) will be in play.

HOWEVER, IT IS CRITICAL to be aware that the guidance above can flip with the markets. Geopolitical risk is rampant right now. Our reporting depth will be significant for this reason. The instrument structure will be the focus and time frame of trade key to each structure. Stay flexible to the market inflections and trade the instrument structure (support and resistance therein) to your chosen time frame.

Reporting and Trade Alerts in the Next Time Cycle. 

The algorithm and swing trading reports will all be updated and distributed between Tuesday Jan 8 – 15 2019 to allow for two days of market action (this Monday and Tuesday) in to this new time cycle (post holiday).

There will be follow up reporting to approximately Jan 23rd that will focus on instrument structure (trading ranges on different time frames) for the algorithm models and swing trade equities we follow and then intensive thereafter through six month time cycle.

The deep dive we will be doing is for our trading on different time frames (swing trade and day trading) – you will find our trading to be significantly more active than the previous six months. This will include the machine trading in oil.

I should point out here also that the swing trade reporting and trades will be selective / theme based as we see a stock pickers six months next.

2018 / 2019 Work in Progress List.

We do have some team WIP left over from 2018 that will be cleaned up in January (it is nominal clerical type stuff for the most part). Some of the list is below:

  • Rules based machine trading protocol for oil to be published soon. This has been difficult to publish because our learning curve has been parabolic (the more you know about how an instrument trades the more you know that you didn’t know prior).
    • Our learning curve is starting to level out now so this will be released soon.
  • Machine trading signals to be fed in to main trading room (initially manually then auto when API integration complete).
    • For now I will be verbally feeding these in to the live trading room, however, Jeremy is working on the API soon for automation.
  • New pricing to be published representing next generation algorithm models (existing members no change).
    • Early in 2019 there will be a price increase on all services (when everything is updated).
  • Next generation algorithm models roll out (machine trading Gen 1).
    • This will occur with the deep dive we are doing over next month in reporting initiative.
  • Trading Profit Loss to be Published for Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 2018 (a report detailing trading / alert performance of our team).
  • Previously recorded Trading Boot Camp Event videos to become available on Compound Trading website.
  • Previously recorded Master Class Videos will become available for download on website.
  • New Trading Boot Camp Events to be announced
  • 1 day Boot Camps for each of the seven trading models and swing / daytrading – 8 in total to be announced (online only).
    • We wanted to do this late 2018 but time didn’t allow, we’re targeting Feb 2019.
  • 3 day Cabarete trading boot camp to be announced for Feb / Mar ish 2019.
  • Sept 18 – Raw Trading Boot Camp Videos were emailed to members (new members inquire for copy).
  • Sept 18 – Previously recorded Master Class Series were emailed to members (new members inquire for copy).

2019 Platform Normalization (copied from last member update)

In year one our goal was to simply get lift to our basic trading service platform and that was accomplished.

In year two (2018) our goal was to develop the software for machine trading to the oil model and bring forward various other development and that has been accomplished (it has been much more work than we expected and we are just there).

In year three (2019) our focus will be to normalizing our trading services platform in the first 6 months. Our focus also will be toward trading for profit and building our learning centers for our trading community. In the latter 6 months we will turn our focus back to software development with coding BTC and SPY at minimum. The difference will be that we expect to have staff in each area of the platform so that areas of service are not interrupted (stretched) with a start up staff size.

In summary, this means that we are cleaning up our work in progress from 2018 and going in to 2019 our service will be hyper focused on trading, reporting, trade alerts and the development of learning systems for our membership base.

The time cycle starting in to the new year is significant in size in global markets and we intend to capitalize on the opportunity this brings.

A Real-Life Simple to Reproduce, Consistent Example of a Winning Crude Oil Day Trading Strategy From Our Lead Trader.

How Algorithmic Trading Can Help You Win Consistently (from our trading room on Friday). Man and Machine.

Day trading crude oil futures is not easy… but it is at the same time. The most difficult for me is executing trades based on what I know is right – the most probable winning trade set-ups for buy/sell signals as provided by our algorithmic oil trading model.

This is why I always tell our clients to study the rule-set and use trade alerts only for a heads-up and to use your own trading plan based on your understanding, sizing, comfort area etc. Behind the alerts is a real trader too (at least as it applies to my alerts, our machine trading alerts are a different story going forward).

The buy/signals provided by our algorithm provide structured day trading that increases my win rate greatly – but only when I respect the rules of the model.

I have published a number of articles now detailing the basic rules of the model to assist traders with a better win rate. My personal win rate went from (at best) 60% to approximately 90% (it fluctuates between 80%-95% on an annual basis – there is an ebb and flow). All time stamped live trade alerts.

In our oil trading room last Friday I was triggering trades as was our machine trading technician – man vs. machine (again).

The bottom line: the machine (without effort) won (following the rule-set), and I won – that is until I got greedy.

Both the machine trading technician and I were triggering long side positions near the same time in to the Friday regular market open (my long entries were adds to the previous night futures trade I was already in).

The trade worked well and when the trade met its price target area of the algorithmic model structure (resistance) the machine trade trimmed and then closed on some pull-back and I closed completely.

But I started looking for a further break-out above the algorithmic model signal of resistance as provided by EPIC the Crude Oil Algorithm (after I already had a winning trade). This was the error.

But I started looking for a further break-out above the algorithmic model signal of resistance as provided by EPIC the Crude Oil Algorithm (after I already had a winning trade).

So yes, my day was affected negatively (not that bad because I recovered some by trading bounces during the intra-day reversal sell off), but not good because my trading day could have been very positive vs. negative / stressful on the day.

There is a low stress easier way – just follow the rules of the model. The algorithmic trading model provides a consistent, simple, highly profitable structure for day trading (and even swing trading) crude oil.

Below I explain what I did right and what I did wrong, how easy it is to trade crude oil using proven strategies (with EPIC Oil Algorithm) and how easy it is to get greedy – hopefully my real-life experience helps your trading.

#CrudeOil #AlgorithmicTrading #TradingStrategy FX: $USOIL $WTI $CL_F $USO 

The Trade Details (actual screen shots of the alert feed, charting and commentary).

Below is the initial alert (screen shot from our trade alert feed on Twitter) by our oil machine trading technician at 9:17 AM on Friday October 19, 2018. The technician alerted a trade signal long machine buy program in to the regular market open at 69.25 on the algorithmic charting.

Our algorithmic charting is produced on crude oil FX USOIL WTI and this can be used for trading oil futures CL, ETNs / ETFs such as United States Oil Fund (USO), SCO, UCO, UWTI, DWTI and more.

Crude Oil Trade Alert (screen shot) – Machine Trade Buy program initiated in to open 69.25 917 AM – 19 Oct 2018.

At 9:20 PM October 18, 2018 in futures trade the night prior (Thursday night) I alerted to the feed a long side trade entry at 68.93 as a test trade for the break of upside resistance area. So at this point I was in at 68.93 long and the technician was in the trade at 69.25 the next morning.

Less than one minute later (after the technician alerted) I was alerting adds to my existing trade (we were obviously loading our trades and alerts at near the exact same time).

The Buy Signals Triggering a Long Oil Trade Alert:

On a conventional crude oil 1 minute chart for FX USOIL WTI, the long side trade entry alert signal sent out to members of our oil trading service was based on a number of signals that combined (in momentum and confirmed with the algorithm model) provide high probability to a winning day trade – the signals are as follows:

  1. Intra day trade in to regular market open breached the Fibonacci trend-line resistance (grey dotted line),
  2. Trade breached the trading box to the upside (red box on chart),
  3. The Squeeze Momentum Indicator turned green again,
  4. The MACD turned up again,
  5. The Stochastic RSI had turned back up after near bottom (the closer to bottom the better in most instances),
  6. Trade was above the 200 MA (moving average) having just retested its support (pink on chart),
  7. Trade was above VWAP (orange on chart),
  8. Trade was above the intra-day trend support line (yellow line on chart).
  9. Positive buy flow volume was increasing in to open (volume bars on chart with blue highlights),
  10. The momentum of trade was subsequently on the bullish side,
  11. The algorithmic model was also in agreement (shown below and to understand the model takes some study).
crude, oil, chart, trading, signals

On conventional USOIL WTI chart, trade entry based on Fib, trading box, SQZMOM, MACD, Stoch RSI, 200 MA, VWAP, vol, momentum.

On the crude oil algorithmic charting model the following reasons were in play to confirm the long trade:

  1. The upside price target area on the chart that had a time cycle concluding on Friday at 1:00 PM (see white arrow on chart) was most probable considering the fact that trade was above the mid trading quadrant horizontal support line (thick grey horizontal line). Which in this instance was also a primary support line for the wider time-frame for swing trading oil (which makes it a significant support area on the chart).
  2. In futures trade the night before, oil trade had broke to the upside of the mid quad resistance area (grey horizontal line as described above and shown on chart below).
  3. There was a hidden pivot (not shown on the algorithm charting but highlighted here for demonstration purposes in bright yellow – horizontal dotted yellow line on chart). The idea being that if trade momentum was turned up in to open that this hidden pivot was likely to be breached to the upside and would then become yet another support confirming the bias to the upside target on the model.

The algorithmic charting model price target described above is the “easy” trade signal I refer to in the title of this post. At any given time of trade intra-day we can provide the most probable price target for the coming time cycle conclusions. I won’t go in to detail here (that is a completely different article). You can read our other oil trading posts, become a member, watch our videos on how to use the oil algorithm, get some trade coaching or attend a boot camp for more details to this process.

The algorithmic charting model price target described above is the “easy” trade signal I refer to in the title of this post.

Another thought (off-topic a tad), consider the trading quadrant – there were four or five excellent long and short entry points on the model at the quad wall resistance and support areas. This week our machine trading technician is alerting to the EPIC Private Member Twitter Feed those trades (I will also continue as normal). 

AND if you look at my original long entry the night prior in futures trade, that trade signal is an even easier trade signal – price was breaching the mid pivot on the trading quad of the model (gray line) which is also the wide swing trading support and resistance area of the charting.

algorithmic, trading, crude, oil, alert. chart

On algorithmic oil charting trade was based on momentum in to pivot with most probable price target up.

I then provided our members with the trade strategy (guidance) with price targets at 69.70, 69.78 and 69.80 at 9:24 AM (right after the market opened). The price targets are where there are resistance areas of the algorithm chart provided above.

daytrade, oil, alert

Crude oil trading alert twitter feed screen shot – price targets for daytrade 69.70, 69.78, 69.80 in upside scenario.

At 9:35 AM I provided further trade strategy / guidance explaining that I was looking for a reversal in the recent trend of crude oil trade (I had distributed a 4 hour chart to our membership by email the night before that I reference in the alert).

oil, trade, alert, perspective

Perspective – reversal trade scenario, if it fails extreme caution to next level down 4 hour chart (yellow TL).

At 9:40 I publish the 4 hour oil chart with intra day trade and the two trend line support areas of the chart I was watching. Providing trade guidance that if the current support was lost in trade that we were likely turning down to the next support area on the chart in the 67’s.

At 9:42 AM Oct 19, 2018 (25 minutes after the trade alert long oil) the machine trading alert was posted to the Twitter feed with guidance to trim at 69.58 in trade and then possibly add to the long position at 69.58 (obviously if the indicators provided a buy signal).

machine, trading, crude oil, alert, buy

Machine Oil Trade Alert – Trims initiate 69.58 with adds on intra day pull backs 942 AM – 19 Oct 2018.

The reason for the trade alert issued to members to trim long positions on oil algorithm was that trade intra-day was nearing the Fibonacci trend-line resistance area on chart model (trading quadrant wall). Trade was also nearing the peak of the algorithm trading range intra-day (the apex of the model.) These are the same reasons I exited my long trade as provided below in the next section.

Notice on the chart below trade had hit 69.75’s and the trade alert (as above) price targets for the trade strategy for the day in crude oil based on the algorithmic model were published as price targets for day trade 69.70, 69.78, 69.80 in upside scenario.”

resistance, oil, trade, algorithm

Reason for trim trade alert on oil algorithm – Fibonacci trendline resistance area on chart model.

At 9:45 AM I closed my trade at 69.57. Not a bad trade considering my entries at long crude oil at 68.93 with adds in 69.25’s. A 45 tick trade average in oil is a decent day trade (450.00 on 1 contract or in this instance about 4x that).

oil, trade, alert

Oil trade alert – Closed 69.57 will re-renter on pull back in price or squeeze.

At 9:58 the technician trade closed on a pull back (the other half of the trade) at 69.43 – a 26 tick average. A decent trade profit, especially considering it lasted just over 30 minutes and it was low stress. It took me 12 hours to close a 45 tick trade and the tech 35 minutes to close a 26 tick trade – obviously the technician’s use of time was more efficient.

It gets worse for me though, because I thought I’d try and get a break upside primary resistance on the algorithmic oil charting. The technician followed a simple rule-set (wait for trade to prove out and then enter) and didn’t follow me in to my trade (he can’t because he is obligated to a specific rule-set for triggering trades).

oil, machine, trading, alert

Oil machine trading alert – Stop adjusted to 69.43 USOIL WTI CL_F.

The additional trade I entered I won’t detail here with screen shots etc, but I will say that it turned against me almost immediately and I should have exited the trade immediately.

As oil sold off some intra-day I held my position and added on a bounce and sold on the bounce and chiseled my way to a small loss – but a loss nonetheless. It was a waste of time.

The two primary mistakes I made in my second trade:

  1. I entered a long trade at the resistance of the algorithmic trading model. That is not a correct way to position a trade. I closed the previous trade properly but did not start the new trade properly.
  2. When intra day trade went against my position I should have closed for a small loss, but I did not.

There are other details and reasons for the trading decisions that were made, however, for simplicity and to keep this instructional post to a digestible size I will leave it here.

Trading Plan for Day Trading and Swing Trading CRONOS GROUP Inc. (CRON).

CRONOS GROUP (CRON) was one of the leading momentum stocks traded on today’s stock market.

See this news article:

Weed stocks are going nuts after one of the largest marijuana companies strikes a deal for lab-made THC (CRON) $CRON #swingtrading – http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/1027507302

Technical Trading Set-Up for CRONOS on the Chart.

The structure of the 4 hour chart implies a bullish move upside as long as levels at green arrows on chart are held.

I will be looking for long entries at green arrows for a swing trade.

On the day trading side I’ve also included levels for trade. Trade entries long near green arrow to upside of the triangle structure are the day-trading plan for me.

CRONOS GROUP (CRON) Seems to me the buy side at green arrows is a great risk reward swing trade. Daytrade the levels on the chart. $CRON #swingtrading #daytrading

This letter also serves as important service updates to existing members to Compound Trading.

I will also publish this to our public facing blog and include a link to this document from our question and answer and home pages on our website (it has been some time since it has been updated).

Below is the new member on-boarding information example (actual new member email that was emailed – excluding private information):

September Trading Challenge

 

Our lead trader (link to third-party Agilience Authority Index: “Curtis Melonopoly is rated Top 250 in world for stock exchanges, covering also Economy of the United States and Mathematical Finance“) will be in attendance to the main trading room the month of September, 2018 from Thurs Sept 6 pre-market through to Sept 31 recording his attempt for personal best. The video recordings of his September trading challenge will be available thereafter at our online trading academy link – many trading highlight / review videos and feature blog posts will also come from his attendance. You can find the Compound Trading You Tube channel here and our trading information blog is here (unlocked and member locked posts – many article posts are unlocked to public for study reasons over time also).

 

About Our Lead Trader / Trading Team at Compound Trading

Our lead trader is a thirty year veteran that services a wide swath of clients from beginning learning traders (in private trade coaching and trade boot camps) to significant institutional funds (conventional technical data services through to algorithmic structured data).

You will find the technical skill-set of our staff to be above average and at times perhaps even challenging. Keep in mind however, that we present trading set-ups in such a way that even the early learning trader to the world’s most sophisticated managed money firms have the data they need to execute trading plans.

We have many new traders that have on-boarded to our trading methodologies that have learned to trade from scratch that are now trading in the top 10% on the market (our minimum goal for our members).

Read the first post in the Freedom Traders series for an idea of where our lead trader started, his story that includes a painful learning process and how this may help you as a trader that needs to learn how to trade in the green.

When You Learn It You Are Free. My Personal Stock Trading Story. Part 1 of “Freedom Traders” Series.

In short, you will have access to very conventional charting through to advance structured algorithmic structured charting (including black box) – traders at all levels of growth find it advantageous.

The Trading Focus of Our Lead Trader / Trading Team

Our lead trader and/or trading team alerts trades in the following instrument categories; regular equity markets, futures and crypto currencies. His trading focus encompasses; the seven primary algorithm models in development at Compound Trading, day-trading momentum stocks (usually premarket and/or early in regular market hours) and swing trading conventional equities (as swing trades are triggering buy/sell areas of the charting models he will execute trade alerts at various levels). There are over one hundred equities that we are developing algorithm models for on our swing trading platform.

The financial instruments we trade and/or alert to our members include; regular equities and derivatives (day-trading and swing trading), commodity futures, commodity ETNs and ETFs, Crypto futures and swaps (mainly Bitcoin $BTC $XBT swaps). We also have an options platform add-on currently in development and is being used by our team now.

The seven Algorithmic Models and accompanied Newsletters are as follows; Crude Oil $WTI $CL_F $USO, Crypto $BTC $XBT, SP500 $SPY, Volatility $VIX, Gold $GLD $GC_F, Silver $SLV and the US Dollar $DXY. Each newsletter option provides (as available during development); announcements, video training, algorithm models, conventional charting, day-trade and swing-trade set-ups, buy-sell triggers, trade-alert & price-target re-caps, news and trading plans.

We also publish a morning pre-market report as time allows by our lead trader (subscription, but included with live trading room subscription) and after-market reports on occasion (free).

In summary, the algorithmic trading models developed at Compound Trading Group are conventional charts built out to include algorithmic charting (structured charting for deeper insight and knowledge of the instrument trade), through to coding for our near term digital trader platforms and machine trading).

You will witness in the trading room and on reports sent to members conventional charting on various time-frames to various forms of algorithmic charting models for the various trading instruments we trade in the markets. The structured algorithmic trade charting models are advantageous to traders learning, advanced traders, technical and fundamental traders, option traders and more.

But he is typically in attendance at futures open Sunday around 6 PM. He usually alerts to his Twitter and/or in Discord when he is in session for futures.

 

He typically notifies clients in the premarket report and copied to his Twitter feed and / or Discord main channel lounge of his schedule for each trading day.

 

Premarket 9:15 – 9:30 (at times he does trade premarket also and will engage the room earlier than 9:15, he usually alerts members on email, Discord and or Twitter that he is in room in premarket trading when this occirs)

Mid Day Review 12:00 – 12:30

Futures Markets 6:00 PM and through the night session.

Various other Attendance – he alerts to members as needed.

 

After the end of September he and the trading team will continue in the trading room, at intervals typically as noted above and perhaps not at as high of frequency at times (specific schedule pending travel and other professional obligations).

 

Trade Alerts

Trading set-ups / trades are alerted to various platforms (depending on the trade) as follows; regular reporting newsletters, special reports sent to members, various Twitter alert feeds, in the live trading room and to the trading chat rooms on Discord (there are private member servers and a public facing side of our Discord trading chat room channel). Click the link to attend to the public facing side of the channel and as / if you subscribe to specific services for specific instruments there are private side chat rooms and associated invite link(s) that will be made available to you (the private side servers are specific to the algorithmic models in development for oil, crypt etc and swing trading.

As a main day-trading room member your access is to the main trading room and public side Discord Server Chat Room (there is no private Discord server for the main trading room).

The Twitter alert feeds for the swing trading / day-trading are included in your membership for the main trading room (follow the Twitter account feed links below). The oil and crypto trade alerts are add-ons you may or may not wish to subscribe to in future.

As a member to the live trading room will provide you access to our team’s trades anyway but some members just find the alert feeds on Twitter to be additionally convenient. Many trades are discussed and/or alerted to main trading room that are not otherwise alerted to Twitter feeds.

Trade alert feeds are found here (please return an email to us so we know your Twitter feed and can open the trading alerts feed to you);

Day-trading Alerts

Swing Trading Alerts – Swing trade alerts are also now alerted by way of email to members (in addition to Twitter).

Crude Oil Trade Alerts

Crypto (Bitcoin, BTC, XBT) Trade Alerts

Newsletters Currently in Update (processing rotation flow).

We are updating our algorithmic and charting models on all of our services to be released to members prior to the September 14 -16 Cabarete Trade Coaching Event. The goal is to use the event as a time to have all services upgraded for members and bring our models another step forward.

At times you will find the newsletter rotations and / or lead trader attendance to the main trading room to be intermittent.

In other words, depending on our development mode in modeling and/or software coding and development, timing in markets, seasonality and various other factors the newsletters may be daily, weekly or more intermittent. This is an important consideration as a member. For example, recently during earnings we published five weeks of swing trading newsletters in a ten day period for our swing trading members. Normally there would be approximately one newsletter per week in that specific service. The swing trading newsletter regular rotation is recommencing this week, but that is an example.

Also note that at times we publish updates to models, charting, trade set-ups etc to members by direct email, in the private side discord channels specific to the instrument and subscription, to You Tube and in various other ways.

The bottom line to this topic is that all updates have to be out to members prior to the September 14, 2018 trade coaching event and following the event we expect to be on a fairly predictable rotation until the next surge in updates (usually every 3 months or so).

Main Services Menu and Locking in Member Fees

Follow this link to the main trader services pricing and features menu page for clarification and / or a simple one page menu board to our trading services structure as needed.

Our members fees for the most part steadily increase in price, this applies only to new registering members as long as you do not allow your existing subscription to expire. Most subscriptions are not automatically renewed and as such you need to revisit the online store and / or reach out to us at renewal or provide payment on time to invoices emailed to you.

The next price increases are expected mid September.

Contacting Us

As needed you can contact our lead trader direct on his personal Twitter feed, in Discord on private message or on email at [email protected]. You can contact myself at info@compoundtrading or in Discord.

 

The Main Trading Room

To log in to the main trading room follow this link (as of Thursday premarket – he will not be in attendance today, Wednesday);

https://compoundtrading1.clickmeeting.com/livetrading

The password is “_____” and you will be updated to password changes as they occur by way of email.

The trading room is not a chat room in the typical sense (as with less advanced trading rooms). Try and keep chat to private messages – you will find our clients to be serious (many are professional / institutional money managers, run commercial trading enterprises or are monitoring the trading room as they attend to their regular professions) – the need for trader chat is as such limited in the main trading room (unless of course you are wanting to share a trade set-up and thesis for the trade and/or trade alerts of some form).

The focus is on the broadcasts by our lead trader and or trading team specific to the schedule and instruments I’ve noted above.

Reach Out

Anything at anytime you need please reach out to us.

Welcome aboard and lets get you trading.

Warm regards,

Mid Day Chart Swing Trading Set-ups July 24, 2018 Summary:

July 24 Swing Trading Special Earnings Season Report (mailing list version) that will become the premise for our next major entries.

Stocks reviewed on this 2nd video in the series for earnings: OIL, $WTI, $SPY, $DXY, $CELG, $RIOT, $ARWR, $GTHX, $EXTR, $EDIT, $IPI, $MBRX, $SOHU, $PDLI, $ESPR, $LPSN, $XOMA.

We are reviewing all one hundred equities we have in coverage on our swing trading platform – all over the next ten days or so for earnings trading season.

This is from June 24 report cycle (last time these equities were reported to members) and now reviewed July 24, 2018. Members can refer to that report for charting to reference in the video (if not included below).

OIL $WTI – Looking for a sizeable entry at decision on the resistance on-deck trading 68..81. Waiting on the decision either side of resistance.

$SPY SP500 – Near target hit in time frame from yesterday’s video alert long trigger over 281 ish and came close to price target 282.46. Missing most bullish target but close. 283.80 next resistance, then 285.24. Intra day support 281.10 main support 278.64 for quad trading range Aug 2. 289.07 Aug 2 bullish scenario targets 294.25 then 299.53 in the model.

US Dollar $DXY – main pivot 94.54 in this structure and trading intra day just above. 96.50 – 97 is upside bullish target if price gets over light blue downtrending TL line. Trading channels are also discussed on video as is lower support.

$CELG – 87.84 resistance at quad wall (down trending TL Fibonacci) upside targets if it runs 86.12 88.70, 91.60 96.10 July 25. Earnings in two days.

$RIOT – entries 7.30s to 7.60s ish today and released on its way up in to the 8s. Fantastic day trade. Swing trading most bullish price target resistance 9.70s.

$ARWR – Earnings 14 days trading 16.61 intra day, took a first 30% sizing trade on a swing long a little higher on the day. 16.25 main support. Will add on pullbacks at supports discussed in video. Low 20s is the price target range. Trading plan scenarios for upside and downside trade are discussed on video and sizing for each scenario.

$GTHX – Trade is at mid quad primary range resistance so a decision is near. 49.01 is buy side trigger if it holds on any given day at close. Main support 44.40 in structure. Pull back buy triggers are discussed on video.

$EXTR – Indicators are up but Stoch RSI is really high, short side alert worked, Sept 5th 7.16 lower price target in sell-off, support test at 8.49 trading 8.78. Earnings 15 days. If it gets bullish 9.29 resistance with 9.95 bullish target Sept 5 and I would be very cautious.

$EDIT – Algorithm model trade is predictable hitting price targets through the channel. Intra sitting on mid quad support and 200 MA. Channel in chart. Symmetry is excellent. Downside support is 30.53 quad wall intra, 28.00 support in sell off and 25.55 support. 27.93 price target Sept 29 in a downside. Trading plan discussed in video and how it should trade through the channel.

$IPI Intrepid Potash – 200 MA upside resistance on weekly chart. Would be nice to see MACD down and turn for an entry. Alarming chart for a possible breach of 200 MA to upside.

$MBRX – Main pivot 2.46 has held and this is a fantastic short each time it gets in that area of resistance.

$SOHU – Long long term trend is down, MACD trending down, earnings on deck in 6 days. Iffy chart, I would be cautious with this one.

$PDLI – Short side worked, we never did see buy trigger hit in dump, resistance areas for upside 2.92 3.05 3.21. Earnings in 12 days. Over 200 MA I may be interested in a trade.

$ESPR – Wash-out was an okay trade set up, MACD is about to turn up on the weekly structure, Stoch RSI is turned up. It is above 200 MA. Looking better. 49.60 main resistance trading 43.35. 20 50 MA weekly will be next resistance after 49.60. Trade trigger over 44.63 is a serious look.

$LPSN LivePerson – Indicators are all up, earnings in 8 days, bulls have bought in to earnings, main resistance 25.10 ish and support around 20.40 and trading 24.35 intra. Watching for a break over 25.10 ish. Not interested in a pull back buy unless it got to 20 MA. Watch the main resistance 25.90. Mid pivot main 23.50 (trading right above intra day).

$XOMA – Trade below bottom target, trading at main pivot intra day, not sure which direction it will take. Likely see some upside but unsure, 26.70 is main buy zone consideration. Will review then.

Charts and Chart Links for Member Version Only

(Mailing list versions that may be made available from time to time do not include charting or chart links).

For charts that are not included below but are on the video, members can refer to most recent swing trading report that has the chart and/or chart link.
