If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, our 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).

The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here:$WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index). Our Swing Trading Twitter feed is found here: https://twitter.com/swingtrading_ct.  Our lead trader Twitter feed is here @curtmelonopoly, lead tech developer @hundalSHS, and associate trader @quadzilla_jr.

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):

I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. 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 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 Set-Ups.

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

Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List : $GNC 29%, $MITK 5%, $AUPH $WUBA $PLX $SSYS $CYTK $GBT $SDRL $OHRP $CNAT $DRD $DWT $HMY $DLPG $DGAZ $SCO $AU $BAC  I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

(2) Pre-market Decliners Watch-List: $CAH $HOG $TSLA $X $XIV $UGAZ $UWT $ARNA $DRYS $WWE $GS $FCX $MT $CBLI  I will update before market open or refer to chat room notices.

(3) Other Watch-List: $CBLI $SCON $STRP $INFI $ALR $TRCH $VSTM $PLUG

(4) Regular Algo Charting Watch-List: Gold $GC_F $GLD, Miners $GDX ($NUGT, $DUST, $JDST, $JNUG), Silver $SLV $SI_F ($USLV, $DSLV), Crude Oil FX: $USOIL $WTI ($UWTI, $DWTI, $USO, $UCO, $CL_F, $UWT, $DWT), Natural Gas $NG_F ($UGAZ, $DGAZ), S & P 500 $SPY $ES_F ($SPXL, $SPXS), US Dollar Index $DXY ($UUP), Volatility $VIX ($TVIX, $UVXY, $XIV)

Study:

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).

Premarket Session: 

Premarket momo $CLBI $WPRT $HTGM

$HTGM Premarket on fire with news. +30% Last round was awesome – again?

In play today in chat room and on markets:

Premarket was in $CBLI $WPRT $HTGM and then on the day leader-board included $CBLI, $MOCO, $SCON, $SCON, $WKHS, $ALR and a few others. On OTC side it was $MMEX running mad.

$CLBI, Stock, Trading, Results, Post, Market

$CLBI up 141% Members is the room have a homerun on this today. I missed ha. They held right from open. Nice play.

$MMEX up 78% off the watch list. Held 200 day and boom.

I took a small paper-cut on $CBLI at open, took a small long in $LIGA and added a 2nd position long to $DUST (inverse Gold play – short Gold miner’s actually $GDX) and now I am in 2/5 size $DUST at 1000 shares.

$DUST Gold Miner Bear has some momentum today. $NUGT $JDST $JNUG $GDX

Gold. Add to $DUST today. #Gold

Holding $DWT because of course EPIC the Algo has been rocking the show and not missing a beat.

EPIC the Algo on fire?Hasn’t missed a turn since inception. All documented on http://compountrading.com . $USOIL $WTI $CL_F #OIL#trading #OOTT

$DWT Oil Bear doing well today also. $UWT $USOIL $WTIC $UWTI $DWTIF $UWTIF $USO $UCO

Oil. Hold $DWT no add today. #Oil

And our MEMBERS HIT $CBLI OUT OF THE PARK!!! I say that because I talk to members and they tell me when they enter and exit even if they don’t publish publicly etc and there were some massive wins I MEAN MASSIVE – one win was over 50,000.00 on that one daytrade. They held right from open all the way to the end of the day. I’ve identified five members that are up over 200% so far this year!!! Way outperforming myself at about 50% YTD.

$CLBI up 141% Members is the room have a homerun on this today. I missed ha. They held right from open. Nice play.

Off mic till noon chart set-up review. Not best open w $HTGM, $CBLI, $RPRX, $WPRT etc Took a tiny papercut on long $CBLI and that was it.

How-to Trade Stocks, Lessons and Educational:

@jimcramer Did a wonderful piece last night on stock watchlist $STUDY for equities making new highs. Excellent for new & exp traders alike.

Watch the premarket, the market open and the mid day chart set-up reviews available on video that are in this post above if you are struggling to trade consistently for a profit.

Some days it’s more important to know when not to pull the trigger than it is to know when to pull the trigger. Lots of chop at open today.

Successful trading is a boring, disciplined, intense war against self (inner rebellion). Conquer self – find freedom. Peace. #freedomtraders

Stocks, ETN’s, ETF’s I am holding:

I am holding (in order of sizing – all moderately small size to micro sizing) – $DUST, $DWT, $XIV, $ONTX, $XOM, $NE, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI (this is the daytrading portfolio and does not represent swing trading service portfolio): Looking at moving out of all these small positions over the next month or so.

Live Trading Chat Room Video Raw Footage and Transcript:

Two Part video (Part 1 embed is below and go to Compound Trading Youtube channel for Part 2 of live feed from day and other charting from the day)


 Compound Trading Stock Chat-room Transcript:

Please note: Miscellaneous chatter removed from transcript and some discussions I will add notes with information I’ve gleaned in discussions online with traders on DM etc also for further explanation (noted with *). Most days at 9:30 ET market open there is moderator live broadcast explaining trades and at times during the day there is also live broadcast market updates and trade set-up explanations (so you have to scroll through video feed to market open etc to catch live broadcast portions – in future we will note in in transcript when we are on the mic so viewers can correlate time with transcript with video feed when reviewing trades). 

Note: We are testing a new trading room. This particular room does not list a time stamp with each chat entry – we are working on a fix. Also, please note, sometimes pieces of the transcript are missing (also something we are working on). But the video is raw and complete.

NOTICE: I AM SO UPSET because Sartaj and I both forgot to copy the transcript mid day – the stupid platform we are testing requires us to copy and paste it so we have a copy for this everyday. They don’t have an automatic back up. Stupid. Anyway, so we have to literally copy and paste a copy every two hours or it’s gone forever they say. Dumb. The point is we missed most the morning by the time we did it. But of course there is the video above. Ugh.

Sartaj: I know Curt is with me on this one, but if you are in here just to follow trades, you are likely in the wrong room
Sartaj: Welcome, David
Sartaj: I might also add that the Post-Market Report includes a chat transcript, which is disseminated over social media and on the blog (www.compoundtrading.com/blog) everyday after-hours, as well as a full video on our youtube channel of the broadcast day
Sartaj: So you have a couple of options in terms of being able to read when entries and exits were on trades
Curt M: $LIGA http://finance.yahoo.com/news/lig-assets-inc-announces-creation-164349498.html?.tsrc=rss
sspeixc572: The wrong room?!?! The great trade results on your home page is what attracted me in the first place.
Sartaj: You misunderstand me. You can watch the lead trader perform trades, that’s your prerogative, but there are a slew of reasons why we don’t encourage members to just sit there following the alerts. The trade results are meant to highlight the application of the trading discipline being applied here. So yes, while they may be attractive, it’s not an excuse to discard your own sense of risk management, what kind of positions you’d like to take, etc.
Curt M: $LIGA So bullish
Sammy: Taking a long on break-out if it comes here intra
MarketMaven: It is a decent set-up with news and lots of room
sspeixc572: You misunderstand me. At know point have I ever endorsed discarding my own sense of risk management or what kind of positions I’d like to take.
sspeixc572: know = no
Sartaj: And as you can see, part of it is contributing to the discussion – although that is optional, of course. I’m just being upfront with you that you can’t expect the proverbial pump-and-dumping that other chat rooms are privy to. We bring in guest analysts, run chart reviews like the one you just saw, review algorithmic charting as appropriate. We have had a problem with the nature of some of our members’ goals in the past
sspeixc572: Well that sounds good.
lenny: $CBLI super bullilsh too wow
Sartaj: Glad we cleared the air there, then. We are more than happy to help, but the last times we have had people asking about alerts, there was a huge gap in what their expectations were from us. Just FYI, so, didn’t mean to assume there
Curt M: The vol is decent too and Stoch RSI pointing up guys wow
Curt M: Watch the 100% mark
MarketMaven: Running that long on confirmed break of 100%
Curt M: $INFI watch for that Stoch RSI to turn up – very bullish also here
Sartaj: Let me know if you ever need help finding anything, I know it can be a lot of navigate through sometimes: [email protected]
MarketMaven: Starting long test position $LIGA for break 10% size
Sammy: Long $LIGA also same format as Maven
Curt M: Things just got bullish it seems
sspeixc572: Bought some LIGA .0074
Curt M: Starting to leg in with you guys on $LIGA small and not alerting until it confirms and I hit it for real
Curt M: It’s gonna go, its just a matter if its today or not
Curt M: Some of the longer term holders may have to rotate out with profits – or not – I guess we’ll see
Flash G: Even though I don’t trade OTC it does say bull
Flash G: MACD is up on daily guys and gals
lenny: $CERU tape action but not my things
lenny: Stoch RSI on 3 min on $LIGA says maybe some down before up and if so I’ll hit my major entry when it hits bottom and curls (if it does today)
Flash G: Opening new long position in $TOL
Flash G: 1/4 size on swing $TOL – add on dips
OILK: Looking for entry on $PLUG for an overnight
OILK: $AAPL car $NEON maybe too CNBC
Sammy: Stoch RSI gonna curl up here on 3 min on $LIGA – may be time to wack it soon here.
Flash G: $SNAP at technical support
Flash G: Curt, your $BA call a while back on swing platform was perfect timing FYI
Flash G: Looks like they’re millkking the sentiment angle well
Flash G: Savvy did you go short?
sspeixc572: In ELED for a quick bounce
Flash G: Curt, ,our $AMZN…. thinking I my lighten 30%. What a fantastic trade,
MarketMaven: Long $CBLI 3000 3.146
Don: $PLUG looks reslly good here
Curt M: Looks to me like Tuesday is the big break-out day. Everything setting up today.
Flash G: Yes, that’s what is most likely.
sspeixc572: My ELED pick doing spectacularly so far
Curt M: Slowest day in a long time for me.
Curt M: Nice work on $ELED
sspeixc572: thanks!
sspeixc572: Will probably sell at/near VWAP
Curt M: VWAP may stop it but hmmm good play for sure
MarketMaven: Yepp
Sammy: $SCON on the move today but not aggressive on the move
Ned: $SCON b/o looks real
MarketMaven: 2:30 need some plays soon or it’s plan for tomorrow $STUDY
Ned: true
Sandra: been a $STUDY all day for me lololol
Flash G: slowest day we’ve had in the room has – have some decent earnings chart set-ups ready tho
Flash G: should be some good swing trading entries this week on earnings
Flash G: $SPY trading sure looks like a confirmation for higher tomorrow IMO
MarketMaven: $LEDS and $SCON high on my watchlist now.
Sammy: $SCON tape is interesting Maven
MarketMaven: I was just going to say ADDING $CLBI
MarketMaven: Power hour may as well give it a whirl
Curt M: Really consistent price action Maven good call on it
OptionSavvy: imo SPY anything less than about 234.50 is a sell
Flash G: $PTI new HOD
Flash G: thought you might like that Len and Maven
OILK: In $PTI
OILK: for a while now

Current Holds / Trading Plan:

Main watchlist in my trading plan today:

$WPRT, $CBLI, $HTGM, $CBIO are the morning momos so far.

$SPY (at key support soon), $GLD, $GDX (Gold above 200 MA at test Fib resistance and Miner’s testing 200 MA resistance), $USOIL, $WTIC (in upward channel) BUT has come off key resistance area and is near testing lower side of uptrending channel (support)..

OTC on watch $USRM, $LIGA, $MMEX 

Most holds are small to mid size holds in this order according to sizing – $DWT, $ONTX, $DUST, $XOM, $NE, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI.

Per recent;

$DUST I will close for a loss if Gold holds 1260 – sucks, but it was a relatively small position (to portfolio size) but I didn’t follow the golden rule… when a trade goes against your plan cut fast and I didn’t so I will likely pay the price. And I guess what has become the second golden rule… listen to the algos… they haven’t been wrong yet – so yes, I didn’t listen to my own invention ROSIE the Gold Algo (give Rosie a little plug there she deserves it lol). Embarrassing, especially because ROSIE nailed the bottom many weeks in advance of the bottom – all I had to do was listen and boom new house. Sad.

Market Outlook :

Per recent reports:

There are significant resistance clusters above recent highs in oil and the S&P so I will be very cautious to upside going forward until recent highs are taken out and confirmed. I see significant upside challenges in Oil and SPY with most recent highs being taken out.

If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, our 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).

The algorithm Twitter feeds can be found here:$WTI (@EPICtheAlgo), $VIX (@VexatiousVIX), $SPY (@FREEDOMtheAlgo), $GLD (@ROSIEtheAlgo), $SLV (@SuperNovaAlgo), $DXY (@DXYUSD_Index). Our Swing Trading Twitter feed is found here: https://twitter.com/swingtrading_ct.  Our lead trader Twitter feed is here @curtmelonopoly, lead tech developer @hundalSHS, and associate trader @quadzilla_jr.

Momentum Stocks (Market Open and Intra-Day):

I do trade morning momo stocks, but I do avoid risk – so often I avoid the first 30 minutes (gap and go) and trade momentum stocks later in the day after the wash-out looking for a snap-back. 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 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 Set-Ups.

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

Morning Stock Watch-Lists for my Favorite Set-Ups:

(1) Pre-Market Gainers Watch-List : $CBLI 31%, $HTGM 25%, $WPRT 25%, $STRP $ALR $MGI $ATNM $CBIO $VNCE $NSAT $PLX $NTNX $DGAZ $SWC $PLUG $HIMX $HBI

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).
