Important Administrative Notes: Rate Increases, Billing, Email Alerts, Opening Blog Posts, New Reporting

Good morning,

We are transitioning our platforms, which will take some time. In the meantime;

1. Rates / Renewals – Subscriptions do not automatically renew. Invoicing will be processed in next 48 hours. You can also attend to shop and renew on your own at any time. Significant rate increases will be announced soon, with new platform transition, be sure you renew on or before your renewal date to be sure you keep your current rate as the new system will automatically not allow the discount rate for current clients that allow their subscription to lapse and revert back to the retail price listed on website. Changes to rates will appear on website soon also. We are setting up an auto renewal system with the changes also so current clients won’t have to be concerned with subscription lapse.

In short we are moving to a much more exclusive trading environment, rates will go up for new subs because we simply can only handle servicing so many. Building a larger subscription business is something I’m not focused on. We’re focused on our current clients and us winning and building our trading systems – that’s our core focus forward.

So we want to service our current clients, focus on winning and anyone new will have to pay the price of a semi private trading group, ultimately totally closed to new clients by the new year.

2. As we transition email platforms, if you are not regularly receiving email alerts as you see alerts on the Twitter and Discord feed please let us know.

3. If you have any issues with opening blog posts as new reporting comes out please let us know.

4. Considerable reporting will recommence near term (next few days) as we turn the corner on EIA and time cycle here.

5. Clean up of P&Ls and reporting expected to be complete very soon, we’re first getting the platform transitions moving along and reporting / catch up starts next few days and complete over next week or so. It’s been overwhelming to say the least but we’re almost there.

6. Any complimentary viewing on alert feeds wil also end soon FYI.

Any questions let us know.

Thanks

Curt

Updates: Trading Plan, Alerts, EPIC v3, Trading Room, Reports, Webinars, New Members.

Trading Plan – We continue to expect to size shorts on large equities (like we did with Mastercard, Wynn, Nike etc) until a vaccine is found on each rally, this will remain. Long equity trades are small in size and duration, considered scalps. Gold, Silver, Oil, Natural Gas, Bitcoin we remain searching for a bottom. VIX we remain long and oil volatility also adding lows and selling highs.

Well this pump is going to provide some BIG opportunity.

Yet another golden set-up coming for skilled traders that understand the playbook, not so much for the everyday investor🎯🔨🔥

We HAMMERED the last, we will REALLY HAMMER this.

Not even getting started.#markit pic.twitter.com/J3r3n40UUJ

Trading Cycle Timing – With the run up today we expect to start size-able equity shorts again very soon. There may be some scalping prior. I would expect both equities and oil to become active in to tomorrow at latest.

Machine Trading – EPIC v3 oil machine trading software has been paper trading well and is starting to fire real world trades in this market and we expect now that black swan events are coded in to the software that nothing short of the end of the world could cause issue. We shall see.

Trading Room – we are still getting reports of intermittent access issues, if you have a problem signing in clear your cache and reboot computer. Go to history, clear all time history, reboot. If this doesn’t work please let us know. We also continue working with Click Meeting techs for permanent resolution.

Webinar Video Reports – as reported earlier we are editing now and will have the written reports out before premarket. We had previously sent out the video mp4s. We get those out immediately after they are uploaded after each webinar.

Swing Alert Free Tour –

FINAL NOTICE on current free tour: I hope those that have had a free view of swing trade alerts have benefited.

Good evening,

Our primary internet service was restored late this afternoon. Regular trading, alerts, trading room schedule resumes as of futures trade this evening.

Specific to EPIC v3 software draw-down protocol, we have throttled the software significantly to reflect an updated draw-down protocol.

The new code will only allow 50% of the previous draw-down protocol (varies per account size). This will affect the return % potential but will decrease the draw-down protocol. The next white paper update will reflect this change.

In summary, while in draw-down status, the software now will only fire on the most predictable trades until ROI is returned to previous trajectory (as per white paper) with a potential draw-down reduced by 50%.

See previously published white paper for detail: https://compoundtrading.com/white-paper-how-epic-v3-crude-oil-machine-trading-outperforms-conventional-trading-methods/

Any questions send me an email as needed.

Thanks

Curtis

Good evening traders,

Regular oil and swing reporting will all be out starting this evening and will conclude over the next 48 hours. There are a number of special reports near completion that will also be out early week for both Swing and Oil.

In oil trade we are watching the trending channels reported to members. In swing trades we expect this to pick up also with the turn of the year near (re-balancing of funds etc).

Last week was moderate for us, a few swing positions and a few oil trade positions. I expected it to be busier but OPEC meetings caused oil to lack structure. The trading structure started to return mid day Friday so we expect considerable size and frequency of oil trade between now and API report 430 Tuesday.

Any questions please let me know.

You’ll see reports start to flow out in the late evening.

Thanks

Curt

Client Advisory.

Quick notes to start the trading week:

• NEW LOCATION:
  • This weekend we moved the location of our trading set-up.
  • We may have intermittent outages between Sunday 6 PM EST and Tuesday 6 PM EST as we secure stable power / internet source configuration for our various electronic / computer / server equipment (joy of travel and trade). 
  • Intermittent outages would temporarily affect (stall) the live trading room, alerts and software trade.
  • We expect any downtime to be minimal and short duration and by Tuesday at 6 PM EST (at latest) no issues are expected. 
• TIME CYCLES:
  • The week of Oct 21 time cycle peak was glossed over by the Fed / White House utilizing repo action etc. This does not mean the markets are out of risk as VIX is concerned. But for now, it seems they have suppressed the time cycle peak. We still hold a small VIX hedge and small SPY short.
  • The new equity positions for this time cycle will be considerably more active starting this week. Daily we will review positions at 2:45 PM (as time allows) and we will send the videos nightly to Swing Trade members.
• REPORTING:
  • With the move this weekend we are a bit behind on reporting, the first out later tonight will be the EPIC Oil Report, then Swing Trading and others will follow. All regular weekly reporting is expected to be sent out no later than Tuesday evening.
• NEW CLIENTS (ALERTS):
  • Be sure to follow the appropriate Twitter alert feed (per the onboarding email you received) and email us your Twitter handle so that we can open the alert feed to you.
• OIL TRADE:
  • On Friday the move of our trading desk location caused some unexpected downtime and as such our software did not trade the move in oil price (non alerted also). The move Friday was the start of the move that we had been alerting the day prior and we had sent out various simple charts to remind traders of the impending move.
  • The Oil Trading Report to be released later tonight will include the structured set-ups in the charts / models for the move we expect.
  • You can expect the software to be considerably active this week now that oil trade is becoming much more structured within the models since the bombs landed in Saudi Arabia a few weeks back (since the bombs the structured models have slowly returned to order, Friday’s move was a manifested example).
• LIVE TRADE:
  • I will be in the trading room on mic around 9:20 AM each morning, 2:45 trade set up reviews daily, Tues 4:30 API, Wednesday EIA at 10:30 and also anytime the software is trading and alerts are going out.

Have a greet week!
