New Trading / Coaching Location Now Set-up, Tested, All Systems Go

Lead Trader Blog Post, Stock Chat Room Memos Curt Melonopoly

Finally! Seems I still have things to learn about setting up a tech driven trading location in the tropics:)

Good morning traders!

Status:

In short (I’ll save you the detail) we have the fiber networks installed at the new location and we tested all the equipment / systems / wifi / trading platforms this morning and all systems are a go. Today and tomorrow we’ll clean up after the crews and get some trading zen going in here in prep for next week live trading blast off.

For info on our new trading / coaching location click here. We have a May and June trade coaching boot camp scheduled.

Reporting / Trading Broadcast Schedule forward:

  • Weekly algorithm and swing trading reports will be processed as normal this weekend (SPY, OIL, VIX, GOLD, SILVER, CRYPTO, DXY, SWING).
  • Daily member premarket reports will be processed as normal as of Monday and the Post Market Reports (public report) we intend to get in to scheduling again soon also.
  • Trade alerts on the member only Twitter feeds will recommence Monday premarket (swing, daytrading, oil, Gold, crypto).
  • Live premarket broadcast will recommence Monday 9:00 am on daily rotation (main trading room). Main trading room broadcast (charting and chat) runs Monday to Friday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM with voice commentary from myself (or guests) for trade set-ups etc as needed or market demands.
  • Live market open broadcast will recommence Monday 9:30 am on daily rotation (main trading room).
  • Live mid day reviews will recommence Monday 12:00 on daily rotation (main trading room). Mid day reviews cover trade charting set-ups I am following for daytrading and swing trading, announcements, and trading recaps.
  • Weekly #EIA oil report trading session will recommence Wednesday 10:15 AM on weekly rotation (main trading room for now but will be moved to oil trading room only soon).
  • Oil trading room broadcast will recommence Monday 9:30 am. Most days it will run 24 hours unless I am traveling (this will change often). Oil trading room members can attend to the main trading room anytime they like also FYI. The oil trading room is not a live voice broadcast room (charting and chat is active), however, with this new trading location we intend to amp up voice broadcasts over time.
  • The next trade coaching boot camp event is May 4 – 6 (it is 70% booked out FYI) and the next is June 8 – 10. You can attend in person or virtually as if you were in attendance in person.
  • Short live trade coaching webinars will start (new service) soon and will be random through-out the week. Primarily covering trade set-ups, recaps of live trades and the “howto” trade components of each. They will be live broadcast and saved to the video library for members. Our goal is to build a significant “howtotrade” video library this year with short videos (5 mins in length each).
  • Free swing trading set-ups will recommence Monday (as set-ups are available) and sent to our public mailing list. You can register to the mailing list here.
  • The private member only Discord channels will be used more and more as we go forward so be sure you have your invite link from us and you watch those server channels close for trade updates. The public free Discord trading chat link.
  • Any downtime to service due to the recent location move is credited to member accounts.

New Members:

For whatever reason the last week has seen many new members and with the new location set-up we’re a little behind. We’ll have all new members set-up over the next 48 hours.

If your membership includes trade alerts of any kind, be sure you email us at [email protected] the Twitter account you are using to follow the alert service feed.

New Staff:

We have new staff just started in administration and coding that I will be introducing to our member base over the next few weeks. Any blip in service please allow some grace there but if there’s anything urgent be sure to message me personally on any of the feeds so I can help as needed.

Recruiting:

I have one full time position or two part time positions for paid interns that would like to do specifically what I do. Trade and report. If you have an interest send me a note on email [email protected]. These are long term positions.

Need Help?

Anything you need private message me or email me [email protected] anytime.

Thanks again for your support in our efforts y’all! Going forward with our new location it is our aim to build out our live how to trading / coaching for the markets we follow (trade coaching etc) so I believe you will find our trade set-up and coaching initiative to be of benefit to your trading in many ways (especially as the libraries build). In the meantime, if you have any ideas for our plans going forward or any tweaks you would like to see to our new platform launching please message me!

Best and Peace.

Curt

Recent Memo (for those who didn’t see the note):

We are still getting some Q’s re: holiday models…. for clarity, below is a snippet of our comments included in reports we are processing right now…

This reporting week has brought two challenges:

Charting Anomalies: The recent holiday has caused some models some issue as it relates to the geometric chart modeling (you will notice in some instances slight to significant geometric divergence – visually) and as such will cause some issue with many of the trading platforms and liquidity in some markets. Trade carefully until next report at each support and resistance. When these type of anomaly events are in play, it is prudent for your trade plan to refer also to the model / reports published prior to the holiday.
Our new trading / coaching center set-up has taken longer than expected (tech needed vs. Caribbean Island time). We have the fiber set-up now (the hard part it seems) but the ancillary components t make it all work for our equipment are in progress and expected to be complete soon. Downtime credits applied to members. Will advise.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channel and at minimum our algorithm Twitter feeds because they do tell a story in terms of the market and how the inflections of the market determine our day to day trading. You will notice the algorithmic modelling has been undeniably accurate with many time-frames (intra-day, weeks and months out) so I myself have learned to respect their math (they have taken me from a 60% hit rate to 80%+ in my trading – all publicly posted live trades).

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):

I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid much of the day trading risk (preferring to daytrade only what is structurally set-up also on the swing trade side and to my advantage in the algorithmic model charting). I often avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks or structured (per explanation in previous sentence) stocks later in day after a wash-out looking for a snap-back trade that can possibly also become a strong swing or longer term trade that I can leg in to. Just prior to open and shortly after open I post momentum stocks to the trade chat room (and Twitter and Stocktwits if I have time).

Some of my Favorite Intra-day Trading Set-Ups:

(1) Momentum Stock Wash-Outs for Snap Back, (2) Bad News Wash-outs on Stocks with High Institutional Ownership, (3) Getting on the Right Side of a Trend Change and scaling in my position and (4) Our Algorithm Charting Model Set-Ups.

The momentum stocks (from previous days and morning trade) I continue to watch through the day for indicators that allow a trade.

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).

Service(s) Memo Follow-Up re: Compliance and Service Offerings Going Forward with Edits and Additions

Lead Trader Blog Post , , Curt Melonopoly

Feb 12, 2018

Services Memo:

Below are specific changes to our service offerings effective immediately that focus / pivot our start-up business exclusively toward a data driven entity and not a trading and/or trade-driven alert entity.

This distinction (a focus toward technical data only) provides a clear pathway to compliance as may be required by various regulatory entities in various jurisdictions through-out the world. It also provides our clients at all levels a clear understanding of our function in the marketplace.

For purposes of clarity there may be follow-up memos to address any items that come forward in future.

The first memo specific to the various regulatory, operational and service(s) topics contained herein was published Feb 11, 2018 and can be found here:

Coaching

  • Our coaching, in the past, has included levels of instruction from beginner to advanced, including many levels of trade execution, psychology and technical trading knowledge.
  • Coaching, in future (as it has), will include all levels of trade execution, psychology and technical trading knowledge required to trade various instruments. However, the coaching will not include representations of profit and loss or any other mechanisms commonly known to be used to lure a trainee under the guise of perceived gains in learning to be a trader from our coaching staff.

Private Equity Fund / Institutional Customers / Commercial Agreements Etc.

  • In past, we have engaged in commercial related trade agreements and / or power of attorney trade relations under various scenarios.
  • Going forward, no trading will be executed by our staff or directors at any level of any type for any reason. Any association to private equity funds, institutional customers and/or commercial agreements will specifically be technical know-how, technical set-ups and/or alerts and/or data driven environments.

Sub-Account Structures and Power of Attorney Agreements: 

Compound Trading is separate and apart from broker-dealers related to the “Private Capital Pool” that has appeared or represented in ad copy, general matter on social media profiles and posts, and others, and acts in the capacity of a market data provider only.

Currently, correspondences with leads related to the private investment fund have been put on hiatus, or have been told that there will be no discussion about said fund until the compliance framework(s) are in place by the registered broker-dealers for whom commercial data provider agreements are in place with or may be in place with in future.

While Compound Trading has positioned itself in this capacity following a well-characterized “decentralized hedge fund model”, any language or mention of the Private Capital Pool will clearly state the relationship between registered broker-dealer partner(s) who are responsible for the maintenance of a financial advising or hedge fund environment and our capacity as market data providers. Any inquiries, leads, or questions related to said hedge fund will be referred directly to said registered broker-dealers.

Back-Test and Historical Data Trails

Pursuant to the changes remarked upon above going forward, all previous data trails (blog posts, static pages) on the website (CompoundTrading.com) will be hand-audited and edited to reflect these points (where possible). All old versions of the website (revisions, mirrors, etc.) are available on the server back-end should interested parties request them.

As mentioned in the previous memo dated Feb 11, 2018, between now and March 1, 2018 our website and various offering(s) will be updated and specific communication sent to customers as needed and as it applies.

Additions and Edits:

Feb 13, 2018 Edit

BTW just finished resetting all our systems/ alarms for the new alerts system. The operational pivot is an upgrade to previous- the buy/ sell triggered alerts in essence provide the same alert signal based on chart set-up but will also include the visual chart set-up & thesis….

for each alert & life cycle of trade as it progresses vs. just a personal trader alert. In other words, the complete thesis and structure of the trade set-up will be encompassed in a more clear data driven technical structure vs. random alerts from our trader(s) based on trades.

Update – 2018 Plans, Clarifications, Compliance – Status of Data / Fund / Coaching

Lead Trader Blog Post , , , , , , , , Curt Melonopoly

Important Member / Stake-Holder Update with Reference to 2018 Plans and Current Status.

Feb 11, 2018

  • Web Site / Offering Changes, Clarifications and Communication of changes / tweaks;
    • Between now and March 1, 2018 there will be a number of “tweaks” and “clarifications” to existing offerings to be sure members understand most clearly what we can or cannot provide in our market data driven offerings and to be sure our regulatory compliance is in order in a clear and compliant manner.
    • We have had some recent inquiry toward these point(s) and as such we will make every effort to ensure compliance and that all communication is very clear to stakeholders / members / readers at every level of association to our enterprise.
    • The many changes / tweaks to our offerings will be notified direct to stakeholders / members and changes posted to web site.
  •  Coaching;
    • There are a few private coaching spots open coming in March. We do this via Skype. There is also the opportunity for in person group settings in various locations in 2018. For info email us.
  • Private Capital Fund;
    • We have had a number of inquiries lately specific to our planned private equity fund. Some points of clarification;
      • We are data providers, and as such our focus specific to the fund will be data – this is a decentralized data driven fund structure. To be more clear – we, as an entity will not be recruiting funds to our own account(s) for trade. We will however be specifically producing data that fund manager / institutional fund partners will use toward their various trading mandate(s).
      • When we reference “regulatory approvals” we are awaiting – this is specific to key partner(s) in a decentralized private capital / equity fund environment.
      • More detail to follow soon as this is launched.
  • Current Reporting;
    • Reporting this week will start late afternoon Sunday and will conclude Monday evening (estimate). The swing trading platform / charting will be extensive over the next while (considering the market swings).

Reiteration / clarification of previous points:

  • Coding – 2018 we are starting the process of coding algorithm charting models;
    • Initial phase is the #IA Intelligent Assisted Digital Trading Platform
    • Long term goal is a machine trading environment where applicable
  • Content – Deep content development for our membership is now being rolled out;
    • Educational content publishing / video and various other value add content related services for members specific to and related to our swing trading equity coverage, algorithm models and training / coaching.
  • Coaching – Further development of coaching programs is now being rolled out;
    • Coaching online real-time (webinars, Skype one on one, online published material / video, in person classes and regular conference events)
    • Opening of our first physical educational / coaching / retreat (location has been secured and is currently under construction – opening expected on / or about Apr 1, 2018)
  • Private Capital Fund – Official launch of our decentralized capital fund (upon regulatory conclusion via key partners) and Institutional Data Services Platform.
  • Hiring of Staff and Interns.

Updates to my task(s) from previous notes that may or may not apply to your trading with us:

Completion of algorithm charting models

  • Gold and Oil are ready for coding
  • US Dollar and SPY generation one have been published and both are functioning very well.
  • Bitcoin BTC newest charting model is complete (generation one) and tighter time frames are now being developed for release.
    • ETH, LTC, XRP generation one chart models have been released and as above tighter time frames are on – deck.
  • VIX newest chart model is complete and released with other gens on deck soon.
  • Silver newest model is complete and released with other gens on deck soon.
  • Completion of newest swing trade newsletter charting coverage
    • The next generation of buy / sell signals / charting for the equities we cover are being implemented to the newsletters as released and we’re on target to have them all complete.

Updates (re: previous – final miscellaneous thoughts):

  • Oil Trading Room
    • Many have asked that I alert when the oil trading room is rebooted and opened at the intervals (it has to be re-opened every 10 hours as it times out) – considering the requests I will start doing that again as time allow.
  • Recommencement of Post Market Reports to re-start again very soon.

Thanks folks. Any questions send us an email [email protected].

Curt

PS – I am on annual holiday Feb 13 – 23. Reports, charting etc will be processed as usual during that time and my attendance in live trading room(s) will be intermittent. I am not traveling so I will be available as you need. Any questions send me an email [email protected]

#EIA Inverse Hedging: Oil Futures and S&P500 Correlates

Lead Trader Blog Post, Learn to Trade Curt Melonopoly

This video is of special note, as we demonstrate a cross-validation between EPIC’s algorithmic model and conventional charting to confirm and enter a short position. We also demonstrate an ‘inverse hedging’ in price action between continuous Oil Futures and the S&P500, using the FREEDOM algorithmic model (represented on a $SPY chart).

The following video is worth paying attention to. There are several worthwhile background points before getting into the video:

  1. Using EPIC’s algorithmic model, I was able to cross-validate its results against conventional charting before entering into a short.

    Reversal began at intersection between apex of the quadrant and major algorithmic resistance.

    Conventional charting uncovers pivot off resistance, culminating into a mean reversion.

  2. Once short oil, there was demonstrable contrary price action on our algorithmic model for $SPY. This allowed me to use an effect that we refer to as inverse hedging, whereby a dump in oil was correlated with bullish price action in the S&P500. It was here that I entered a long position in $SPY, at the same time as going short on oil.
  3. With crowd-sourced data from our trading room, a consolidated mean reversion at new lows on E-mini futures (ES_F) was also caught, lining up with a correlated, conventional charting result on $USOIL (WTI).

A Quick Member Update – 2018 Plans and Current Status

Lead Trader Blog Post , Curt Melonopoly

A General Update for Members with Reference to our 2018 Plans and Current Status.

Sartaj is arriving to my location in the Dominican Republic next weekend, at which time the second phase (the 2018 plan) of our business development will start;

  • Coding – starting the process of coding algorithm charting models
    • Initial phase is the #IA Intelligent Assisted Digital Trading Platform
    • Long term goal is a machine trading environment
  • Content – Deep content development for our membership
    • Educational content publishing / video and various other value add content related services for members specific to and related to our swing trading equity coverage, algorithm models and training.
  • Coaching – Further development of coaching programs
    • Coaching online real-time (webinars, Skype one on one, online published material / video, in person classes and regular conference events)
    • Opening of our first physical educational / coaching / retreat (location has been secured and is currently under construction – opening expected Apr 1, 2018)
  • Private Capital Fund – Official launch of our decentralized capital fund (upon regulatory conclusion) and Institutional Data Services Platform.
  • Hiring of Staff and Interns.

Prior to his arrival, I am tasked to complete the existing algorithm charting models (complete to the point that they are ready for Generation 1 at minimum) and completing the swing trading newsletter service structure. So in short, between now and his arrival this is my task.

Completion of algorithm charting models

  • Gold and Oil are ready for coding
  • US Dollar and SPY are near ready, final edits complete this weekend.
  • Bitcoin BTC newest model is complete and in final back-testing phase, it will be released this weekend
    • ETH, LTC, XRP are expected to be released prior to Sartaj’s arrival Jan 21

  • Silver newest model is complete and in final back-testing, it will be released this weekend
  • Completion of newest swing trade newsletter charting coverage
    • The next generation of buy / sell signals / charting for the equities we cover are being implemented to the newsletters as released and we’re on target to have them all complete.

Again, thanks for the patience with our first year build-out…. folks in VIX, SILVER and BTC will be credited with time for the recent delays.

Final miscellaneous thoughts;

  • Oil Trading Room
    • Many have asked that I alert when the oil trading room is rebooted and opened at the intervals (it has to be re-opened every 10 hours as it times out) – considering the requests I will start doing that again.
  • Recommencement of Post Market Reports will start this week – I got caught up in model development last week.
  • Current Trading / Market Forecast
    • The first quarter looks very good. If you have access to our mid day swing trading review videos on You Tube I would highly encourage you to watch them as you can over the next 10 – 14 days as I expect to scale in to this earnings season significantly. I am currently about 12% invested and expect at least 50% if not 80% at times over the next sixty days. It looks very promising.

Thanks folks.

Curt

Premarket Note & Important Start-Up Updates: Dec 1, 2017

Lead Trader Blog Post, Trading Plan Curt Melonopoly

Morning all!

It’s December 1, 2017… and I thought with all the recent developments in Crypto and the markets in general at all time highs, the significant milestones we are reaching in our first year start-up (along with challenges) and looking forward to 2018 (and our goals therein)…. I thought it best I provide a simple (informal) premarket note and update our team with where we are at with various initiatives.

This week was a significant challenge on our resources – I just have to be straight up and say that… the Thanksgiving week brought a serious challenge to our models (and it just happened to land right when some of our newer model upgrades were to be released) – the challenge… all the Trading View charts shifted and not only did they shift and every line had to be reset… but some continued to shift. So in short, we normally would have had that fixed sooner but the charting re-balance issues were more significant than most holiday re-balances we have to do…. BUT THEN came the crypto downturn and accompanied challenges with exchanges.

So here’s the bottom line with platform updates and realistic platform milestone targets going forward:

  • Charting Re-balance – Most of the charting is now re-balanced / reset and they started going out yesterday and will continue to be distributed today and in to the weekend. We will have any not complete as of today all sent by the weekend at latest. Again, I appreciate the grace members have extended and I’ve requested Sartaj credit time on any subs affected. I have notified Trading View of the issue and will work toward solutions to this in 2018. I know this update sounds like a broken record but I’d rather keep our team informed and be transparent with our start-up challenges than take other alternative communication options.
  • Reports – The accompanied reports (to go with the charting) did not get processed in large part this week – because of course the charting is the foundation to the reports. With all charts now being completely reset by weekend I don’t see any issue with getting all reports out this weekend for the new week ahead.
  • Coding – Our goal is to start coding our models by the end of January with Oil and Crypto first in line. The goal is also to have all seven models coded by the end of 2018. We also have plans in 2018 for coding swing buy sell triggers and daytrading buy sell triggers. More on this early 2018.
  • Buy Sell Triggers on Charting – Yes, the updates this weekend for next week’s markets will all have the buy sell triggers (even swing platform).
  • Crypto Exchange Challenges – We had a number of challenges with executing orders in the downturn a few days ago. A few accounts were affected and I will be writing a very detailed blog post specific to this topic when all rocks are rolled over to be sure our information is clear and correct. But more than the issues we experienced (the tech side)… the more important thing in my thinking is how we bring those challenges forward in a trading environment as it relates to rules based trading. In other words, trading (at least as it applies to us) should not resemble a casino gamble… on balance a successful trader has to have the edge. A significant post will be written to this end.
  • Complimentary Charting and Reports & Duplicate Emails – As we bring 2017 to a close and the seven algorithm models are completed and our swing platform is finished we are sending some complimentary publications and charting out to various folks that have supported our start up. So if you receive reports that you did not subscribe to… this is why. And the duplicate emails… we’re working on an email distribution system to correct this issue. Some folks are on multiple subscriptions with us and that is why that occurs.
  • Hiring & Interns – 2018 will bring a number of new staff and interns. We have been working with new interns now for the last 3 months and it is a slower training process than we expected. But we want it to be right Our staff / interns have to represent excellence in charting models / trading etc. In summary… we are recruiting now and this will become more significant early 2018.
  • Private Capital Fund – We currently are working with a line-up of partners becoming involved and the regulatory in various jurisdictions surrounding our launch – in early 2018 we will be communicating to the general public and our team more about the details of our plans going forward. At this juncture I can share with you that our fund has serious growth plans in 2018 and the model to which that will scale is disruptive to be sure. More on this early 2018. Bottom line… the response to this fund has been extremely positive – more than we could have ever expected.
  • So bottom line with the charting, the reports and the various challenges with crypto platforms – this weekend should be the final clean-up and all completed charts and reports should be out to members. I wish to once again thank the membership for the patience and grace extended to us in this start up phase.

The Markets & Friday Trading Plan

It seems there is a very real possibility the markets will come off some in the near future. The current markets remind me of two years ago when they sold off in to the new year – right after Christmas the markets opened the new year and Gold rallied and the VIX spiked for a few months. I’m not convinced that is where we are at, but with markets at all time highs I would be cautious.

Today I will be cautious and very likely watch open closely and likely refrain from any large positions. But if opportunity arises I will execute. But all in all I think it is best to use patience here. The crypto trading I am waiting for our conference calls (rolling the rocks over) to conclude and our upcoming publishing of what will become our trading rules for crypto to be out. In other words, I won’t be trading crypto until the new week next week.

I am in an oil short (a very small position) in $DWT at the moment and with the oil bulls bidding it up premarket I /we may be under some pressure. But oil is very near some significant upside resistance on the EPIC model and with conventional charting, so it is yet to be seen if the bulls can follow through. WORST scenario is a small position loss or trading the model with another entry at intra-day resistance and coming out of it with a flat trade. In other words, I would hit the $DWT trade long again at intra day resistance and average out with the goal being a flat trade vs. a loss. We will see how the bulls follow through today and Monday.

The swing trading side (with all the updates planned by weekend at latest)… in general we see a possible Santa Claus rally with a possible sell off occurring shortly thereafter (generally speaking – and we all need to be flexible to the turns so careful with your bias)… anyway, we see a number of swing opportunities in to the rally and out the other side with some expected volatility.

If we end the year with triple digit gains (100% – 400%) in the various areas of the markets we trade – then I would call that a success. In daytrading we are there for sure, swing trading also we will meet that, with the crypto that is yet to be seen but the high side of that goal is very likely and with commodities I also expect to hit our targets. So all in all, even though the last 3 mos have been more challenging than the beginning of the year – it has been a great year.

Thank You!

Again, with our first year closing I want to send out a very big thanks for supporting our start-up, the grace extended as we develop our models and services and especially for just becoming part of our team!

Anything I can do to assist you to be sure you are winning in the markets be sure to email me or Sartaj anytime (you can also DM us) at [email protected].

We couldn’t ask for a better team going in to 2018!

Curt

You Want Real Freedom? Read This and Win 90% of Your Trades. Learn How to Trade.

Lead Trader Blog Post, Learn to Trade , , , Curt Melonopoly

You really want to learn how to trade? You really want freedom? Show me. I’ve proven it to you, that I can win. If you don’t know that I win and I have proven it – then look me up. Now can you prove to yourself that you really want to win and change your life?

I win over 90%. I’m not bragging I don’t need to brag. It’s just fact. I record every trade, I alert every trade and I am the most transparent trader I can be.

I say this because 90% of traders lose. And I can teach you. What do I get out of it? I get to build a business I enjoy and give something back.

But it will cost you. Yes, to learn how to trade in the 1% category it will cost you. It will cost you a few bucks and some time. But in return you will acquire life long freedom for you and your generations.

Is it a smart trade-off? No thought in my mind.

This is just one of many tools I have to win. The more tools you have, the higher the % of wins. I win over 95% of crypto trades with 100 x leverage account capacity, I win over 97% of commodity trades, over 85% of swings and 80% of daytrades. When 90% lose. And that’s a fact you can’t ignore if you want to win more than anything. I can show you. Private coaching, newsletters, trading room – whatever works. Just leave your old self behind and thank me later. And then you can pass it on too.

Thanks for listening.

The video is boring but if you watch it – not just listen – watch it close – you will get one of my tools. But it’s only one.

If you can’t handle boring, studying, focusing on what isn’t exciting don’t even start the video. My excitement comes from being able to do what ever I want whenever I want.

Thanks

Curt

Charting Re-balance Edits, Complimentary Publications, Email Distribution Lists

Lead Trader Blog Post, Stock Chat Room Memos , , , Curt Melonopoly

RE: Charting Re-balance Edits, Complimentary Publications, Email Distribution Lists

Good morning,

So when we opened the algorithm chart model files this morning, many (near all) shifted again and have to be reset. We’re working on that right now. This has to be completed for all charts before reports can be processed (because of course the chart time cycles and pricing affects reports).

This does occur on holidays with Trading View. Different holidays to different degree. Thanksgiving has been the worst we have experienced in the last year and this may have something to do with the half day – I am not sure.

Anyway, the shift in the charts this morning was less than yesterday so we expect today’s edits to be all that is needed and then we can process full reports. This may mean that reports are not out until tomorrow / b4 market open Thur and charts in completion would be out today / tonight at various points b4 market open tomorrow.

I apologize for the delay. I will ask Sartaj if he can credit some sub time for the gap in service.

It would be nice if we had another chart provider that didn’t have this issue surrounding holidays but Trading View is our only option (for our tech requirements). Perhaps in near future we can work with them toward a solution.

When you open the charts, to get past the viewer part to the live chart click on the share button bottom right and then “make it mine”. When in the chart if you only want the chart and not the indicators at the bottom double click on the chart and the bottom indicators will be removed.

So bottom line is that the charts will all be out today and the reports at latest tomorrow. And yes, in future surrounding holidays (at least until we find a solution) just know in advance this does occur.

Also, we are sending complimentary issues to members for various charting between now and Christmas (if you are wondering why you are receiving various updates).

And finally, I apologize if you are getting more than one email for an update (such as this memo), that means you are on more than one distribution list. This also we need to sort solutions for going forward.

Any questions let me know.

Thanks

Curt
