Daytrading Stocks Isn’t Easy, But You Can Increase Your Win Rate When Trading Momentum Stocks Using Technical Analysis Along With A Catalyst Thesis.

In this post I use the market open trade in $ROKU as an example (live raw trading room footage is below) to teach you how to daytrade stocks that have a catalyst (in this case an upgrade in ROKU by a well known market analyst that morning) and using technical analysis to structure the trade (long trade entry point on chart, where to trim the position and where to close the position at key resistance).

My trade was clean, without stress, I alerted the trade live on the live trade alerts feed and traded it live in the trading room. When I alerted the trade I also gave our members a price target for closing the trade.

Hopefully my experience in using technical analysis while daytrading stocks will help you win more and lose less when you lose.

Live Trading Room Raw Video and Transcript Highlights Detailing Trade Entry, Price Target, Trims and Closing Trade.

The video below is the raw live trading room video feed that includes review of various trade set-ups in premarket and market open. The summary of the ROKU trade is below the video with points of reference on timing on video for easy reference.

At 5:55 on video: In premarket I explain to the trading room that ROKU is my primary watch (the others I also reviewed on the video) on the day on the analyst upgrade. ROKU trading up 2% at 74.63 premarket. Over 77.62 is an add (to those already in the swing trade). For the longer term than daytrading 93.93 is a possible price target in a bullish scenario and 87.58 is more likely and 78.00 most likely for the target date on the chart at the time cycle peak.

The points of support and resistance on the charting that I reference follow a process of technical analysis that we use on all of our algorithmic charting.

ROKU trade is following trajectory. Be sure to trim trade positioning in the resistance areas on the chart and add above (or alternatively add at pull backs).

I also how 5 minutes in to open is an important area to watch and how I am cautious Monday mornings, but on this Monday premarket trading was bullish.

At 9:12 on video: Market open at 9:30 Eastern time. ROKU trading 74.72 at open, over 77.62 is a buy / add to any existing swing trade position. Support on ROKU intra day is at 73.15 – 73.20. Buy side coming in at this point and 3 – 4 dollar day trade range possible prior to resistance over head.

At 13:44 on video: Watching the market open first 5 minute candle conclusion. Over high of day (HOD) ROKU could run in to 77.70 price target. At this point in the trading session I explain that I may run the trade with the market to the price target. Trading 75.65 intra-day looking for 76.00 for a long entry for daytrade now.

At 14:41 on video: At this point I alert that I am long ROKU at 76.00 with a tight stop bias with price target for ROKU daytrade of 77.50. I would trim heavy in to that price target and possibly add above.

At 17:28 on video: Just about triggered an add to my long position in ROKU at 75.82, probably should have. Watch next 5 minute candle completion.

At 18:40 on video: ROKU is strong in to 5 minute candle switch. Now I have a stop at entry 76.00. If it dumps (sells-off) beyond my entry price at 76.00 I may re-enter.

At 21:01 on video: Trimming my position at 50% size at 76.69. Decent little day trade. It’s strong. Nice buys there.

At 25:15 on video: We’re getting pretty close to my price target.

At 25:50 on video: Trimming 25% of position 77.16 – likely early but….

At 27:10 on video: This is going to be an important candle turn. If a daytrade is going to soften (fade) it is likely to do that in to 10:00 AM, so I am watching the 10 minute point candle prior to the turn at the top of the hour at 10:00 AM.

At 28:28 on video: In to the candle turn I am watching the bottom of the candle body close. At candle turn watch for bullish or bearish trade action for a clue of how the next candle is going to trade. At this point ROKU is trading bullish trading near high of day. Looking for trade in next candle to hold the top of the body of the previous candle.

At 29:38 on video: Getting close to price target now it trade 77.29 there. 77.16 closed last 25% of the daytrade in ROKU.

The Catalyst: Analyst Upgrade on ROKU:

“Shares of Roku Inc (NASDAQ:ROKU) gapped up prior to trading on Monday after Needham & Company LLC raised their price target on the stock from $60.00 to $85.00. The stock had previously closed at $71.24, but opened at $73.03. Needham & Company LLC currently has a buy rating on the stock. Roku shares last traded at $76.48, with a volume of 8448678 shares”.

The Original Alert That Put ROKU on Watch for a Trade for our Members:

Below is a screen shot of the original trade alert posted on the swing trading alert feed (a copy was also posted to our daytrading alert feed on Twitter) that ROKU was on watch with a time cycle peak nearing (if you need to learn how to chart and/or trade time cycles reach out for some trade coaching, get access to trade coaching boot camp videos or spend some time in our live trading room).

It is important to note here that with the alert we also posted the link to the live chart on Trading View. This is important when you are harnessing your trade thesis in technical analysis, our members do not have to do the charting on their own, we provide that service as part of the platform.

Another important note is that when we are alerting day trades or swing trades for equities or commodity, crypto or currency trades… in most instances our members already have the technical charting models from previous analysis done for members in previous trade alerts or newsletters etc.

Oil sell-off today, EPIC Oil Algorithm buy side oil trade alerts 64.50 buy side at day lows for members. #oil #trade #alerts FX $USOIL $WTI $CL_F $USO #OOTT #Algorithm

How did we know in a heavy intra-day sell-off where oil would bottom and turn? Learning to trade crude oil is not easy if you try and trade it with conventional trading strategy, you need to know how oil trades and why.

Below are the details to help you with your crude oil trading strategy.

Let’s look at what happened and then I will explain how I knew where the reversal intra-day in crude oil trade would be.

Below you will find the intra-day sell-off in crude oil, the member trade alerts, member chat room guidance and charts – and then I’ll explain how we knew in advance with high probability where the bottom would be.

Crude oil chart (FX USOIL WTI). The sell off in crude oil trade today was extreme.

Crude Oil Chart – Crude oil sell-off today, EPIC Oil Algorithm called buy side for 64.50 at day lows (on way down). 

On the way down we alerted our members on the EPIC Twitter crude oil trade alerts member service of where the possible bottoms were. There was an initial possible area and then the buy side area a touch down. The chart below shows the sell-off (with red arrow) and the buy side long entries alerted to members (green arrow).

Alert – Oil trade alerts on the EPIC Oil Trading Alerts Feed – Starting buys in here careful will cut fast 64.50 – 58, hit low in sell off perfect. 

Below is a screen shot of the private member trade alert feed on Twitter showing the member alert that our buys were starting in the 64.50 – .58 area (after we had provided the oil trade strategy in the private discord oil chat room server). Buy side alerts started at 64.50 and the low of day in crude oil was 64.44 (FX USOIL WTI).

Chat Room Strategy – Oil chat room member guidance for buy side at bottom of sell-off today.

Below is a screen shot of the private member oil trading chat room.

“if it dumps i’ll look for 64.52 area ish”

This comment was after significant guidance by myself (lead trader at Compound Trading Group). I was looking for confirmation of a bottom trade strategy for a reversal in oil trade intra-day.

“hoping in to 1130 candle expiry i get entry”

Trade had been in sell-of prior to the Wednesday 10:30 AM EST EIA Petroleum Status Report and after the report was released trade in crude oil continued. Prior to this alert to watch the start of the 11:30 AM EST candle on the oil chart I had given significant member guidance in the chat room. If you look at the chart posted above you will see that the reversal turn in oil was in fact at the 11:30 candle on the chart.

“looking for volatility in to 64.52 and turn of 30 and long tail and volume buys”

As with the prior comment above, I’m explaining in the quote specifically what I am looking for to confirm my trade execution long for the reversal. By the way, we use a 30 minute chart for EPIC Oil algorithmic charting purposes.

“starting buys in here careful will cut fast 64.58 area”

This is the alert in the chat room that my buys started at 64.58 (this was the first alert) then on Twitter I had alerted buys 64.50 – 64.58 because price came off a bit and I was buying in to 64.50 so the Twitter alert reflected that also.

“trimmed 64.72 looking for another entry”

Then as I was trimming longs I had alerted the chat room. At this time I was also in the main trading room on voice broadcast alerting my trades to the chat room (we have the member discord chat room and a main chat room that has live oil charting for the algorithm and also voice broadcast – members can choose to be in either / or as they need).

So in a nutshell I called the bottom for members in an aggressive intra-day sell-off and provided strategy for the trade on its way down. There is many more comments prior to these from the chat room.

Oil chat room member guidance for buy side at bottom of sell-off today. $USOIL $WTI $CL_F $USO #Oil #chat #room #alerts

So the questions is, how did I know where to execute the long side trade in crude oil? How was the reversal confirmed? How can you learn to trade oil with the correct market and charting signals?

Reason Number 1 –  The US Dollar.

“resistance on USD should provide moderate support for oil prices
but thats a moderate consideration”

“you could consider this area divergent right now for USD – there’s a special report out tonight, but this is resistance on DXY now on main wide structure it should calm down very soon
on intra day short time frame who knows
intra day resistance white arrow on DXY”

The correlation between the US Dollar and the trade of commodities is not always correlated. I tend to check in on our US Dollar Algorithm whenever executing oil trades. Today the dollar was trading near a critical resistance area, so I took that information in to consideration.

How the Dollar Impacts Commodity Prices

“The vast majority of these materials use the dollar as a pricing mechanism for global trade because the U.S. is the strongest and most stable economy in the world. When the dollar strengthens, it means that commodities become more expensive in other, nondollar currencies. This tends to have a negative influence on demand. Conversely, when the dollar weakens, commodity prices in other currencies move lower, which increases demand.”

https://www.thebalance.com/how-the-dollar-impacts-commodity-prices-809294

Reason Number 2 – Support for Oil Trade on the Weekly Chart (moving averages).

“62.30 50 MA on weekly”

The second reason is more a consideration for downside risk than it was a reason for trade.

I was reviewing the weekly chart our algorithm reporting service provides members – taking a mental note of my downside risk. I was also weighing the upside resistance on the weekly chart. Because of the weekly downside risk being considerably lower than the price of intra-day trade my risk tolerance to more sell-off was very low. I alerted that to members and would have closed a losing trade very quickly had that happened.

The 50 day moving average in this chart example shows a considerable down-side risk to a long trade. The 50 MA is the purple line on the chart in the screen shot below. More about moving averages here.

Screen shot of weekly oil chart support for trading strategy consideration – 62.30 50 MA on weekly chart.

Screen shot of weekly oil chart support for trading strategy consideration – 62.30 50 MA on weekly

Reason Number 3 – EIA confirmed the build in crude oil inventory.

#EIA
Crude: 6.805M
Cushing: 1.643M
Gasoline: -0.740M
Distillates: 3.566M
#oott

And then the EIA Petroleum figures were available online at 10:30 AM and this confirmed a large build in crude oil inventories. This is bearish but at 4:30 the day before the initial forecast provided a surprise build (hence the sell-off that started in trade prior). This isn’t a reason for a long side trade at first glance until you consider the trader’s mentality.

The sell-off that continued after EIA was announced was obviously an over committed intra-day scenario because everyone already knew that a large build was expected, so I didn’t expect it to sell off much more intra-day. My longer term bias is considerably different, but specifically intra-day in the trade of crude I didn’t expect much more sell-off.

Then the EIA Petroleum Report figures were available and the build in crude was higher than expected (screen shot of chat room).

Also note in the screen shot below of the chat room the coding tech updating the algorithm charting for members on the intra-day time frame and posting it to the room. He did this because he knew a trade was setting up so he provided the most recent machine trading data for myself and our trading community members to use when executing the trades.

EIA, crude, oil, inventory, build

Then the EIA Petroleum Report figures were available and the build in crude was higher than expected.

Reason Number 4 – Crude Oil Algorithmic Charting Support Areas to Watch.

64.60 FX USOIL buy target intra day – we’ll see how it looks trading 64.88 intra

Then I provided the members the first area of trade to watch (at 64.60) for on the charting that could have been the support area intra-day for the reversal long trade (see the member chat room screen shot above).

And sure enough, intra-day trade stalled at the 64.60 market and below is the charting we were watching. The green arrow on the charting below shows the area of trade.

Chat room screen shot – shows two EPIC Oil Algorithm charts and price target area where trade stalled for a test.

Chat room screen shot – shows two EPIC Oil Algorithm charts and price target area where trade stalled for a test.

Gray arrow shows diagonal trendline support area that has acted as support historically many times. EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm.

The gray arrow shows an area on the oil algorithm that has been used by the machines to buy intra-day sell-offs over and over again.

One of the benefits of our work is that we look at historical charts and process that big data for our clients. This work provides insight to what specific signals to use at various intervals of trade intra-day and for swing trading that the human trader simply can’t discern because the data involved is too much for the brain to process. This would take a book of 500 pages to explain. In short, this specific area in the algorithmic oil charting model has been used consistently by the machines. I include some recent examples below for demonstration purposes.

Also note the green arrows on the chart. The first being the first area of support I was watching and the second being the second area. The first area of support did see a bounce in trade intra-day but failed the pull-back back test so we didn’t execute. The second area we did execute trades on and did alert to our members. This was so close to the ideal buy trigger that we nailed it. Our members will tell you that we alert the buy zones in sell-offs near perfect nearly 100% of the time. Our feed tells the story for us – it is time stamped and transparent so there is no way to trick anyone with false signals of record.

The chart below has recent examples of trade where the machines have bought the sell-off in crude oil with significant liquidity. The sell-off and subsequent area of reversal today was exactly the same area of the algorithm model.

Reason Number 5 – Confirmation in Intra-Day Trade of Oil to Confirm Signal to Enter Long Side Trade.

Chat room screen shot – explaining to members indicators I was watching on charting for back-test confirmation in oil trade.

Crude oil trade hit 64.74 within 14 cents of the price target I was wanting to see to possibly confirm the trade (see above the 64.60 area I was watching for).

Then the price target of 64.60 was hit and I explained to chat room members to wait and see how the bounce in trade handled the upside 20 MA resistance area and to watch the expected back test (pull back in trade) to previous support before executing a trade. This is a process of watching intra-day trade for various confirmations in trade to be sure as you can be that your entry execution is not too early (or late for that matter).

Conclusion:

We knew well in advance of the oil sell-off today the area of trade that was most probable to be the right buy signal.

We alerted the buy side trade for our members on the private member oil trading alerts feed.

We provided trading strategy in the oil chat room well in advance of trade achieving the price target for the long side trade alert.

I provided live charting and voice broadcast to members in our main trading room as I executed trades.

Our algorithm charting provided us the buy area well in advance as part of a rules based trading process as a result of big data processing by our team of experts in this field.

In large part, this is why I haven’t been on the losing side of an oil trade alert in many months. Every trade alert is documented in real time, recorded, live alerted and time stamped for evidence of our claims.

Are You Learning to Trade Oil?

My best advice is to join our service on a trial and view real-time how we analyse our trades.

We have a clear trading process that is rules based and has proven to win.

I am far from the best trader I know, in fact I would rate myself about a 5 or 6 out of 10 – I am an expert technician but not top shelf trader. But I am one of the highest winning percentage oil trade alerting services available simply because our algorithm models are that good – and it takes more than that, it takes a team of committed individuals to provide clear winning trading signals to the members.

Interpretation of the algorithm models as a result of experience and historical big data processing is why we win and win often. And when we loose, it is small because we know when a trade has failed. In our work we know before the crowd where to buy and why and where to close and why. We know where to add to your trades and where to trim you trades.

And finally, if you need more help getting on the winning side of your trades then I would seriously consider 3 hours of private coaching. Even the best traders in the world have a coach because a trading coach will keep your psychological game in check as it relates to following the trading of a rules based process. A trading coach is critical to success as a winning trader.

Best with it and let me know if you need anything.

Last week I was involved in a friendly oil trading challenge. The live alert trading challenge was between myself and our coding team (the team coding our oil algorithm charting models to a machine trading software platform).

The results are mind-boggling – learn to trade oil with the one or two set-ups explained below and you will realize returns so significant that you will likely never turn back.

This (and the follow-up) are the most significant trade reviews and analysis we have done since our inception. Take the time you need to study this report if you want to be profitable trading crude oil.

In this challenge we both used exactly the same charting – conventional crude oil charts and algorithm oil charts (courtesy of EPIC Oil Algorithm).

The coding team realized oil trading profit was hundreds of percent greater than mine. We both won – but they won big.

The coding team won big – with less time invested, less stress and they used a simple, absolute, rigid rules based oil trading system.

How they did it is explained in detail below.

This report could easily have been titled, “How to Trade Crude Oil in Today’s Market – With Intelligent Assisted Technology (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm).” However, it was a friendly competition between myself (lead trader) and our coding team, hence the title I used.

As you will see below, the results are absolutely astounding.

Allow me to explain who this article is suitable for, what data is reviewed in this report, the charting used and what trading rules were used.

This report is suitable for the following reader(s);

  • If you want to learn to trade crude oil,
  • If you already trade oil, are struggling to be profitable, and in need of a proper rules based trading process to be sure you win,
  • If you are a pro oil trader exploring other profitable oil trading systems that may assist your ROI / ROE objectives,
  • If you are researching what the future of the best oil trading systems will look like, 
  • And of course this report is a great study guide for current EPIC the Oil Algorithm clients.

Below I review in detail the following (with real chart examples, copies of our trading alerts and more);

  • The surprising final results of our oil trading challenge between man and machine algorithm (both using the same information),
  • The rules based trading process used,
  • My personal learning experience after last week’s trading challenge.

How Trades Were Executed and the Information Used by The Traders (charts, algorithms).

As I explained above, this was a competition between our algorithm coding technicians trading crude oil with EPIC the Oil Algorithm chart models (algorithmic oil charting) vs. myself (lead trader at Compound Trading Group) using the exact same algorithmic charting and conventional charts. We both had access to the identical charting – algorithmic oil charting and conventional charting on various time frames.

In fact, the coding team executed their trades manually (as did I, of course). They were not executing their trades automatically (machine trading).

The massive difference in the trading results (the profit achieved) after the week of trading is directly a result of

  • How the charts were used (interpretation),
  • What charts were used and why (which charts were given more or less weight in decisions), and
  • How trades were executed within the charting time-frames and structure.

In other words, we both had exactly the same information at our disposal, we both executed our trades manually, but we executed our trades on a slightly different rule-set within the same structured rules based trading system.

I was executing trades manually and intuitively (as a pro trader- in my mind) using EPIC the Oil Algorithm Charting Models (even on different time frames) and I also used conventional crude oil charting.

The coding team used the exact same oil charts, but the difference was that they executed their crude oil trades under a very strict system – using only the rules as prescribed by and under the reporting that is distributed to our clients in the weekly EPIC Oil Algorithm newsletter reports (the reports for those unaware include a rules based system along with various charting for the week).

The system of trading oil the coding team implemented was rigid to the rules of our algorithm model and my system was more pro trader intuitive – I flexed the rules as I felt I needed to. That was the simple and only difference.

Learning to trade crude oil successfully is not an easy task because conventional charting rules do not apply in many instances. Crude oil trading can be very volatile and as a result oil trading can be very profitable if you are on the winning side in most trades. If you loose as an oil trader it can be very punishing. 

To trade oil successfully you need to know the structure of oil trade – the rules book and the playing field. Understanding the structure of oil trading charts, how to execute trades properly within that structure and when to cut losses and trim gains is critical to your return on investment (ROI) or return on equity (ROE).

Specifically how the coding team beat me so bad last week.

Lets review real life examples of the price of crude oil over the last week, how we each traded it, the conventional charting we used, the intelligent assisted algorithm charting we used, the trade alerts sent out, when and how each of us executed crude oil trades for excellent winning side returns, but with significantly different results.

The week prior to this challenge something interesting happened, our coding team foreman was allowed to start alerting oil trade alerts to our Twitter alert feed and wouldn’t you know it, in his first two alerts he lost big (I think he had a few small wins also). I on the other hand have been on the winning side of my trade alerts for months now. Of course our members enjoy that predictability… but there is a much bigger story here.

When our coding foreman lost, he was on the losing side of his first two alerts of his career because he didn’t follow one simple rule:

He did not close the trade when it went against him and as a result he lost big.

He alerted the trade entry properly, but when the trade of oil went against him he didn’t alert to close the losing trade.

This caused significant stress, challenged our team and much discussion ensued. We rolled around our work, the charting, the algorithm models, machine trading software scenarios, alerts, trading rules and more – over and over and over.

On my side of the story, I am alerting winning oil trades for months now with-out fail, but my trades are quick and only on the winning side of 10 cents to approximately 40 cents… about 20 cents on average. Now in oil futures a 20 cent or 30 cent win consistently is a fantastic living and in my thinking that’s great because I near always win and if you near always win that’s just fine…

but it doesn’t nearly take advantage of the power of the trading algorithm model charting I have at my disposal.

So before our challenge last week we both had a problem, I was leaving the majority of the obvious profit on the table even though my trade alerts were winners every time and he was not following the rule of closing a losing trade side alert that goes against you, and closing it fast.

We were both breaking the rules and we both would have much higher ROE if we adjusted some very simple things… our coding foreman adjusted perfectly – me, not so perfect – but this week is a new week so watch out!

Anyway, so we agreed to a challenge, he would not alert to the client oil alert feed for now and he would show me that he could trade explicitly to the rules as set out in the EPIC Oil Algorithm reports. And I would also do the same, but alert my trades and with a caveat that I could use my pro trader bias to over-rule the algorithm charting rules at will (my error).

A detailed account of our recent oil trades / alerts;

New traders should know that EPIC the Oil Algorithm chart models are charted on FX $USOIL $WTI but can be used to trade oil futures contracts $CL_F or leveraged oil derivative market products such as $USO, $UCO, $UWT, $DWT, $UWTI, $DWTI and more. I typically use CL contracts and will daytrade at times $UWT or $DWT if I am confident that I won’t be holding over-night.

Okay, first lets look at my trades / alerts (this is almost embarrassing to review – humility engaged).

In the examples below and the follow up report you will see actual screen shots of the live twitter oil trade alert feed (time stamped, real-time), screen shots of the private oil chat room and screen shots of EPIC the Oil Algorithm charting we were using (with notes).

Also it is important that the profit / loss represented are approximate as our team is trading various environments (read our disclosure) – we are testing and trading many platform scenarios, instruments (oil contracts, market derivatives, etc), with various traders, various accounts (real world and/or model platforms for testing purposes) in the team (as our work is toward achieving a machine trading environment and intelligent assisted trader platform – read about our mandates on our website) that it would take days to explain. Additionally, there are trades executed for win or loss that are never alerted to our members.

So for the purpose of this exercise I keep the analysis below simple and to what applies specifically to this exercise ensuring that we cover what the public (our member clients) would have had opportunity to act on in their own trading environment (actionable trading alerts) and if one did in fact act on the alerts what the expected returns may be vs. trading what the rules-based trading system of EPIC the Oil Algorithm reports prescribe to our members in the weekly reporting they receive from Compound Trading Group.

There will be a member only follow-up to this report published within 7 days that will show the 1 minute conventional charting used with exact entry and exit areas detailed on the charting with the thought process by the trader in each trade and this report will also include the machine trading charting that influenced our trade. 

Oil Trade Alert # 1

The first trade that was marked as a tech trade was, but it was alerted internally by me and authorized to the tech to alert. So for the purpose of our competition it was my trade by origin (we’ve decided this in team discussion). So I’ll take it as I need all the help I can get here.

The first trade was 24 cent win at 2 oil contracts (avg) so it was a gain of about 510.00.  

Oil trade alert to start the week 68.61 long, 68.85 closed (the initial alert).

The second trade of the week was a timing cycle issue, price didn’t react soon enough so I closed the trade for a small profit.

Oil Trade Alert #3

The third trade alert has a type o that was obvious, but more important than that is that this is where the difference in the fine details put the coding team way ahead of me. At this point the trading was so intense that I had to generalize the tweet alerts, but you will get the point with what was alerted. There is more explanation below that clarifies the calculations here;

66.49 to 55.57 with contract sizing average of 3 contracts on about 3 times = 800.00 profit approx.

Long test 66.49 lead trader will cut fast as needed and trade chop.

This was obviously 66.57 and there were various type o’s, it should have read something like this…

Chipping out some 55.57 and waiting for next leg to go again.

At this point I alerted the member private Twitter feed that we would for the time alert in the live trading room (where I can speak on live mic broadcast to our oil traders) – this is specifically in a Click Meeting conference room (it is our main trading room that our EPIC Oil Algorithm bundle members can access as they like). We also have a private oil chat room in Discord and a public side on Discord.

At this point there were a number of trades, I will only include screen shots in this report specifically of what was alerted to only the Twitter feed (there isn’t time to get the audio from live trading room right now for the various occasions I was in that room last week – that will all be in a reconciled report from Jen in our offices). It won’t make a difference to the main point of this report – I was beat by the coding team so badly it doesn’t matter.

The real point of this exercise (this report) is to help oil traders with a rules based system to win and win with the highest return.

Summary of Lead Trader Alerted Trades to Live Twitter Feed P/L

So specific to only what was alerted as trade alerts on the live feed and the contract sizing for those trade alerts the total gains for the week = approximately 4900.00 for this account scenario.

Now lets look at what our coding team foreman was able to do with the exact same charting information (that I and our members can use).

In his instance he traded specifically to the rule-based system as prescribed to our members in the weekly EPIC Oil Algorithm reporting.

There were many trades in each leg. He started trades at 2/10 sizing then as the trade progressed he trimmed 1/10 size at resistance and if it failed would exit the other 1/10 at about have the trade range. As trade got above the key resistance he would add above key resistance 1 size and continue. And if the trade went against him right away he would cut fast. So he had a number of losses, but his losses were small and the wins far outweighed the gains.

The week started with an uptrend so he traded the key range support and resistance as prescribed in EPIC the Algorithm reports (gray horizontal line you see on chart below). As trade failed or at key resistance he would trim as noted above.

The key to his trading process was using the key range support and resistance as the launch area for longs, the short area for shorting oil and if the trade went against him he closed the trade for a loss.

The EPIC Algorithm Chart he was using (the gray horizontal line is the main support and resistance pivot prescribed to members and the other indications on the charting). How to trade crude oil applying the rules based process in this report can be reviewed in detail on our web site blog under EPIC Oil Algorithm and scroll down to unlocked historical charting – the more recent reports are locked to the general public. The EPIC reports explain specifically the rules based process in point form.

The first chart is the initial trading range for the week that our tech was using. The day and time is noted at the bottom of the chart. You can see how is bias for trade direction was specific to the main pivot area as provided on the algorithm charting.

Charting used by technician (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm Charting). Bias for trades is noted with green and red arrows.

You can see in the charting below that each time trade breached the main pivot on the charting model that his trading was to the long side bias until trade hit a significant resistance in the model (at which point he trimmed). 

The first two on the chart are green arrow long side trades were off the main pivot and trimmed at the quad wall resistance area.

The the third is a red arrow on the chart as a short side trade bias because trade was already at the marked target price for the Tuesday 430 algorithmic target. In other words, there was a low probability of further upside gain prior to Tuesday at 430 so his short term bias was short.

Then the fourth arrow (green) and fifth (red) were a rinse and repeat of the bias explained above.

The sixth arrow (or trading bias area) was long in to the Wednesday 10:30 AM EPIC Oil Algorithm price target (for the up channel scenario) but trade turned and when it turned and lost the main pivot (gray) and the trading quadrant (orange dotted) he turned short bias in a significant way. There were many failures to the long side in the algorithmic model at this time in the trading week.

The short side bias was solidified with the expiry of the main time cycle in trade (purple arrows that separate the up channel scenario or lower channel scenario in the oil algorithm weekly reports).

Charting used by technician (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm Charting). Bias for trades is noted with green and red arrows. #oil #trading

The next time frame of the week (second) charting used by technician in his trading system with noted areas of trading bias with red and green arrows.

As trade moved to either side of the main pivot his bias is represented (per the process prescibed in the EPIC Oil Algorithm weekly reports) and then in to the bottom of a trading quadrant (he used the rules for trading quadrants) after oil selling off to extreme levels on the week. 

As oil sold off the tech simply trimmed at support areas on the algorithm charting and added to short side bias as trade lost each support.

On the way down oil trade hit the Wednesday 10:30 AM EIA price target as published in the previous weekend EPIC report for the lower channel scenario.

oil, charting, trading, system

The next (second) charting used by technician in his trading system for the week (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm Charting). #oil #trading #system

The final chart time cycle used by technician in his trading system for week. 

The last time frame was text book how to trade crude oil class. For this the tech moved to the prescribed trading process rules in the trading quadrant (the orange dotted lines that form a diamond). He simply took long side positions at the support of the quadrant and trimmed at the main resistance areas. Trade got in to the Friday 1:00 PM target but did not perfectly hit the center.

Trade ended the week at the top of the trading quadrant – near the quadrant basket where he assumed with trade direction and historical algorithmic chart from EPIC that trade was most likely to complete the week.

The final chart time cycle used by technician in his trading system for week (EPIC Oil Trading Algorithm). #oil #trading #system

It’s obvious the technician using the rules based system prescribed to our members had significantly higher returns last week than I did. Our members will be receiving the full report.

As explained above;

There will be a member only follow-up to this report published soon that will show / explain the 1 minute conventional charting used with exact entry and exit areas detailed on the charting with the thought process by each trader in each trade and this report will also include the machine trading charting that influenced each trade. 

The follow-up report will provide our members and our team staff opportunity to learn in great detail how to time the entries and exits of the trades. It will hopefully bring members in to the mind of each trader. This is a member only report because proprietary machine coding charting and various other proprietary information will be shared.

Also, please note that over the coming weeks in to the fall season that our techs will be alerting more and more to the live alert feed under and will be doing such exclusively under the rules based system as prescribed in the EPIC Oil Algorithm weekly reports to members.

Some Important Final Thoughts.

It is easy to look back and criticize your trades – especially when the trade direction is so obviously apparent on an algorithmic charting model such as EPIC’s as in this report.

I personally won’t be hard on myself (as you should not also) because it is impossible to be a machine and if I am on the winning side more than losing and my accounts are consistently green that is what matters most.

However, in my continuing quest to learn how to trade crude oil to my best ability I will be adjusting my oil trading style this week to more reflect the prescribed rules based system as prescribed in the EPIC Oil Algorithm weekly reporting. It obviously works and the science proves that – so I need to adjust to continue to get better as an oil trader and coach that teaches others how to trade oil.

I look forward to the follow-up report that Jen is writing now for our members that will provide in detail how last week trades were decided. She just finished interviewing me about each of my trades and is interviewing our tech team later today for the report.

Best with your trading and if there is anything you need from me reach out anytime on any of my personal social feeds or by email [email protected].

Thanks

Good morning all,

We have been in a hole over the last 5 days onboarding our Gen 1 machine trading models to our trading platforms and over that period there have been a number of questions emailed / messaged to me, I’ve consolidated the questions and answer to them is below.

Detail for those booked to our next bootcamp;

The next trade coaching bootcamp is in Cabarete Dominican Republic Sept 14, 15, 16.

Link https://compoundtrading.com/product/trade-coaching-bootcamp-sept-14-15-16/

Starting today, as reports are released weekly, registrants to the boot camp will receive the following reporting free in advance of and for the purpose of study / preparation for the training (with a retail value therein obviously greater than the cost of the bootcamp training itself – this is a bonus value add that most registrants do not know about);

Oil

Gold

Silver

SPY

DXY

VIX

Bitcoin

Premarket report

Various other member reporting and video as it is released weekly.

The only regular report released so far this week is oil per below (the others are in process for the week and will be rolling out later today);

Link: https://compoundtrading.com/oil-algorithm-trading-report-epic-mon-july-23-fx-usoil-wti-cl_f-uso-oil-trading-algorithm/

Password: OILTRADE

The swing trading platform reports will be considerable over the next 10 days as all equities we follow are being reviewed at mid day and a video and report sent to members and trade coaching registrants daily (a special reporting event with earnings season here) – these will be very important to review for preparation in advance of the boot camp and will obviously assist your personal trading greatly. The first in this series of video reports for swing trading members and booked attendees to the trading bootcamp will be sent out later today.

The next generation algorithm models (Gen 1 machine models) will be released / rolled out to members and trade coaching boot camp registrants between the end of July and Aug 14, 2018 (we are testing them in house starting today for a week or so prior to roll-out).

Bootcamp attendees can follow these Twitter handles for live trading alerts (return an email to me with your Twitter handle if you have not already done so, we will open the feed to you within 48 hours of receipt);

 

Note: The alerts have been slower the last few weeks with the roll over of models and automated trading platform integration but will be considerably more active commencing within 48 hours now that this has been accomplished internally.

Prior to the training you will receive instructions detailing the specific itinerary for training, log in credentials and any other study material the lead trader deems important for your review prior to training.

In person attendees that require travel planning assistance, I will be reaching out this weekend to assist as you need (email me if you need any help arranging travel or lodging).

For members in general, if you are wondering about reporting and alerts, regular reporting will recommence this evening and be complete within 48 hours. Trade alerts will recommence now as our new automated trading platform has been integrated to the new models for our team. And for those asking about invoicing, they will be out to members over the next few days now that our schedules are less constrictive. Onboarding the gen 1 machine trading models took us a few more days than expected (software dev can often be boggy at best) – but it is complete as of 5 AM EST today.

In summary, we’ve completed the next gen model integration and all reporting and alerting recommences today.

Any other questions please let me know. [email protected]

Warm regards,

Jen


Your Preparation in Advance of Attending Trading Boot Camp.

Hey Freedom Traders!

The next Trading Boot Camp is just around the corner! Class starts in just under two weeks – May 4-6 in the Dominican Republic. Below are some details in preparation of your attendance.

Information Pages:

Click here for contact form for trade coaching consult if you’re still thinking of attending in person or online.

Click here for information about our May 4 – 6 location details.

Click here for trading bootcamp pricing. There are two promo codes left (as of writing) – use “coach30” for a 30% discount (includes Legacy Member All Access Membership for 30 days).

Class Location, Travel, Accommodation, Meals, Class Time Schedule, Staying Before & After Training, Excursions, Local Area and more:

The trading course is located in Boca Chica Dominican Republic and is Friday May 4 – Sunday May 6 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

9:00 AM to 2:00 PM is for structured course material and 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM slotted for question and answer, running various mock trading scenarios and charting / quant / “IA” trading extra work needed.

We will also run premarket and post market on Friday May 4 as needed and even after the training ends (Sunday May 6) going forward. In other words, you can stay as many days as you like after training and trade with us real-time in the markets and continue learning.

Fly in to the capital Santo Domingo prior to class starting and we will reserve a car and driver (that we know) to pick you up at the airport.

There is a beach side condo right next to our training residence that you can stay at (very nice at around 100.00 per night) or any of the other local hotels. Air BnB is also a popular method here. Be sure to contact us prior for insight to the area. The location detail link provided at the beginning of this article will also provide detail.

Our trade coaching location residence is a “surfer class” property across the street from the beach with 4 bedrooms and some attendees will stay at the property at no extra charge (limited availability). It is a two story property with ocean views, large yards, excellent security and most modern amenities, but it is a “surfer class” property (not Luxe, but comfortable – per lead trader style). See the link above for more detail and photos below of the location residence.

Meals, transport and excursions etc are not included in the course cost. Restaurants in the area are very reasonable and the local supermarket can be used – our property (kitchen, gardens, barbq, hot tub, clothes washer etc) is for your use while in attendance. Our home is literally yours while you are visiting (before, during and after the actual course).

Excursions should be booked with our assistance as we know all the locals and who can provide an appropriate excursion for your needs. The Dominican Republic offers near every excursion available in the tropics – it is very diverse. Sailing, tank diving, free diving, snorkeling, wind surfing, surfing, golf, waterfalls, mountains, boating, jet-skis, catamaran parties and dinners, skydiving, every category of restaurant, nigh clubs, beaches and much more. Tell me what’s on your bucket list and I’ll make it happen.

You are also able to stay as many days in advance or after training as you like. Ask for room availability at property before, during and after training.

Oh and if you wish to visit other parts of the Island… I know the Island very well and I’ll take you to Punta Cana (Luxe resort haven), Santo Domingo (capital), Cabarete / Sosua (water sport heaven), Samana / Los Terrenas (beautiful lush coastline where the whales come) or anywhere else you like before or after training dates. Just send me a note with your request and I’ll make it happen with gratitude for allowing me an excuse to travel around the island:)

Curriculum and Your Preparation:

The session in-person attendee class sizes are small with ten or less students (online attendee class size is unlimited), as such the curriculum is flexible and designed specifically for the attendees.

Below is a basic outline, however, the curriculum itself is formed the first hour of the first day after we have had opportunity to interview the students when on-site for class. So the good news is there is no preparation (with exception of reviewing our regular member reporting that you will receive – see below). We also like to keep the training curriculum flexible to market conditions.

Below is a basic course outline / structure (that will vary pending attendees):

What is a trading plan?
Trader Vocabulary
Risk Management: Sizing, Risk-Reward Calculations
Stock Evaluation: Fundamental versus Technical Analysis
Basic Technical Analysis Tools: Price Action, Catalysts, Indicators, Pre-Market/After-Market, Earnings, and others
Keyword and News Analysis
Putting a trading plan into action
Risk Management: Time dimensions, scaling in and out of trades
Technical Analysis: Time/Price Cycles, Fibonacci, Elliot Wave, Charting, and others
Bringing it all together: simulated trading
Real-time trade planning for intraday and swing traders
Technical Analysis: Combining multiple analytic tools, inverses, algorithmic and black box modeling, third-party scripting and widgets
Open Q/A. You trade your own account in a live environment
Availability of team trading pending on group sizes

Material for Review in Advance of Attendance:

For 30 days you will receive at no charge the “Legacy All Access Membership” from us. You will begin to receive emails from us about 7 days prior to training, during training and for approximately 20 days after completion.

Description
All Access* Membership to Compound Trading Platforms.

Introductory Pricing: 699.00 per month or 4999.00 per year on auto-renewal subscription basis. Cancel anytime. Price increase protection if subscription does not expire.

Includes all access to all Newsletters, Alerts, Trading Rooms, Algorithm Models, Online Coaching Events, Webinars and 24 hour live access to the Lead Traders personal trading desk (via webcam as available).

What You Need to Bring:

A laptop suitable for trading and running charts is all you need for the class. I personally use six laptops for trading (I left my hard wired PC set-up behind), the class teaches to simplify your set-up not complicate it. One quick note here… we are starting to code our algorithms for machine trading and our office set-up is a different story. But for the purposes of my personal trading and your trading bootcamp, you only need a laptop.

Also bring your typical suitcase full of clothing, toiletries etc. Commerce is done in USD or Dominican Pesos here, if you need to exchange USD we can assist when you are here. Basically show up and we’ll help you with the rest!

That’s All!

That’s about all for now! About a week before you attend you will start to receive email notices linking you to our various platform services. As you have time please review the material and attend to trading rooms / webinars / read newsletters etc. If you don’t have time prior, there is no concern. In three days during class we will teach you what is needed. And remember, you have an all access pass to our services for about 3 weeks after training. If you need further coaching after the bootcamp we also have private trade coaching available.

Any questions send me an email anytime [email protected]. And if you’re thinking of attending a future class (either in person or online) send me an email to let me know and I’ll provide you with future location plans.

Thanks

Curt

Trade had to jam hard to nail price target on $SPY model. It was posted many days ago – the structure, the support area , the channel of trade and the exact price target and timing. 

$SPY really had to get some jam to nail that simple algorithm model price target in to time cycle peak. #Boom 

https://www.tradingview.com/chart/SPY/VC4wMD4P-How-I-Nailed-Time-and-Price-on-Today-s-SPY-Move-Chart-Notes/

$SPY, price, target, long, trade, setup

$SPY really had to get some jam to nail that simple algorithm model price target in to time cycle peak. #Boom

Last week I posted this chart of the model saying that Monday (today) was do or die and that I was long biased. See last week’s $SPY chart here:

Monday is SP500 do or die day. Time cycle peak. Chart Notes.

Today is a time-cycle peak so this has been a fantastic trade set-up for us.

Then right before market close on Friday 3:04 PM when I was about to literally dive in the deep blue for a free dive I looked at my phone one last time and seen $SPY dumping… I knew folks were panicking so I sent out this urgent tweet and then in to the deep I want (peaceful place). The tweet was as follows;

$SPY Don’t let em steal from you folks. Monday is SP500 1.50% do or die day. Time cycle peak. See chart Notes. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/SPY/3wnnSkEX-Monday-is-SP500-do-or-die-day-Time-cycle-peak-Chart-Notes/ … 

See tweet here: https://twitter.com/curtmelonopoly/status/982333206639841280

Prior to March 28 I was signalling long side support in range and on Mar 28 published this on the fly simply model stating channel support was likely going to be in this range. Subsequent posts followed up with structured trade charting alerts.

$SPY Channel support test trading well so far... channel charted

This is how it is done…. “they” know in advance where the test areas are…. knowing how to model the instrument structure in advance of trade and then being able to recognize what “structure” is needed is critical for your trading profits.

On March 31 I signaled my formal Long buy positioning and have enjoyed the trading range since.

$SPY 60 min up channel holding. This wk tells story. Chart Notes

For more detail on the time cycle peaks for your trade, price targets, and support / resistance points relating to your personal trading plan contact me with any questions you have.

Best and peace!

PS Remember to trade price – if the trade goes against you it is always better to take a small loss than be married to a bad chart / stock. 

I will be live broadcasting this trading set-up and other chart set-ups documenting my process in detail for review w/ daily PL’s, video, charting set-ups and alerts.

$NSPR Trade coaching momentum stocks resistance points for trimming long daytrade. 200MA VWAP .

I’m back trading live broadcast on Monday, but in the meantime I was working with a trade coaching student during market open with the $NSPR momentum trade.

She was in $NSPR early, got a great entry, but the task was to know when to trim. So I am showing her how to trim market open momentum stocks using the moving averages, VWAP and other simple indicators (Stochastic RSI , MACD and Squeeze Momentum Indicator).

News catalyst for the daytrade: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/inspiremd-receives-regulatory-approval-both-110000410.html?.tsrc=rss

Notes for this trade are also on this real-time chart: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/NSPR/OoX6PHMH-NSPR-Technical-Resistance-Momentum-Stock-Trim-See-chart-notes/

$NSPR, trade, coaching, howto, momentum, stocks

$NSPR Trade coaching momentum stocks resistance points for trimming long daytrade. 200MA VWAP

How we traded it:

Step 1. If you get on the right side of the momentum, which in this case she did, then simply get your indicators on screen and ready for either adding to the position or trimming the position. In this instance we trimmed on the moving averages and VWAP .

Step 2. When price came off and turned when trade hit the 200 MA on the 30 minute we trimmed over half the position.

Step 3. When price came off and turned at VWAP we closed the long position.

Had the initial entry not worked it would have been best to cut very early. But in this case it went i her favor.

Once trade was in her favor we used the moving averages 20, 50, 100, 200 MA’s on the 1 min, 5, 15, and 30 min charts.

Also VWAP and the other indicators MACD , Stoch RSI and SQZMOM.

Good trade, not easy to execute daytrades without these indicators and important to have them ready and open for execution on the second.

I’ll be live trading next week and this will be one I do a follow-up post on and trade live (momentum stock resistance points).

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).
