Exclusive Report for Email List Members and Swing Trading Members.
Some of the best trading set-ups and ROI we have had in some time. Wow.
Excellent set-ups in #OIL, #GOLD, $NFLX, $SPY, $DIS, $GDX, $TSLA, $EOG, $AAOI, $ESPR, $ITCI, $TAN, $CELG, $C and many more.
Written Summary Below of Trading Plan Set-Ups Reviewed in Video (Click on links in summary text below to be directed to specific charting from lead trader).
#EIA Oil Analysis / Charting Structure $USOIL $WTI: Oil trade is divergent to upside on the EPIC Algorithm Model. Trade is up near channel resistance area and our long bias is no longer in play until this resistance area is concluded to up or downside – there is a probable trade scenario going forward reviewed on video (EPIC members can review EPIC alerts, private Discord room, weekly newsletter and visit 24 hour oil room for more detail). The weekly simple oil model has a 74.50 upside chance for oil for week of April 9, 2018. And the third chart reviewed here is the Monthly oil model with a time cycle peak in October coming in around 67.00 on $USOIL $WTI. Doesn’t mean it won’t spike up in to weekly target range of 74.50 prior to returning to 67.00 area. Also of note is the 200 MA resistance and 50% retracement line on charting that is reviewed in this video.
Our weekly simple oil model posted originally months back has a 74.50 upside chance for oil for week of April 9, 2018 time cycle completion. Never thought price would get anywhere near that:) $USOIL $WTI #CL $UWT $DWT $USO #OOTT

And the simple monthly oil model with a time cycle peak in October is coming in around 67.00 on $USOIL $WTI (most probable) target. Video on deck explains other targets (trade price). $USO #CL #OOTT #OIL https://www.tradingview.com/chart/USOIL/LFoaIZEq-Oil-Resistance-One-of-Most-Predictable-Trades-See-chart-notes/ …
$EOG EOG Resources – EOG trading above important buy trigger 108.76 intra trading 107.93. 115.29 diagonal resistance and one at 119.68 with 115 to 116 price target at earnings end of the month, if price holds the buy sell trigger area in around 109.00. Long over trigger.
$AAOI Applied OptoElectronics – Triggering buy long side trigger over mid quad on AAOI, is up over 12% on the day. More alert detail to follow for members as trade plays out.
$ESPR Esperion – ESPR trading perfect through the Fibs, hit important pivot resistance on 71.67 and triggered long side buy with first target 74.67 and hit today and backed off some. Looking for 80.60 – 80.80.
$ITCI Intra Cellular – ITCI with resistance 23.88 as intra important buy trigger with price above it. If it loses support 23.88 (when price is above) then cut each time until trade takes and hits the next price target area of 30.0 ish.
$DIS Disney – Disney dropped out bottom of model like $SPY model in recent volatility / panic. Structured buy side play targeting 103.73 June 30. Previously charted a number of times / alerted recently.
$NFLX Netflix – Netflix has been a fantastic trade set-up for members. We had a buy trigger 295.40. Buy side trigger confirmation was diagonal Fib / quad wall (explained on video).
$SPY SP500 – Same type of structure as Disney chart. This structure was modeled in advance of price. It is hitting exact day and time and price targets. This again has been an excellent SPY trade set-up for members. Upside 265.52 resistance, mid quad 267.96 and over targets over 265.62 targets 268 area April 18, 2018 as first buy side price target.
$GDX Gold Miners – Miner’s near mid quad resistance Fib line and then backed off on the day. Has been an excellent trade alert on long side for our members. 23.14 is the trim mark and it came very near today.
$MXIMMaxim Integrated – We have a sell side bias on Maxim that has to play out. Watching. Resistance and support on chart in video.
$TSLA TESLA – Alerting TESLA in 260.00 range has been a great buy side trade structure. It got up over major resistance at mid quad horizontal Fib buy side confirmation trigger at 280.17 ish and straight to next resistance 304.60 with Nov 14 382.70 price target. Price targets (resistance) on its way upside are at 333.80 and 338.62 on its way up.
$ATHM AutoHome – Fantastic break-out trade set-up previously alerted and now over previous highs. Trade price here forward. Will alert sell side when it triggers.
$VRX Valeant – Near 200 MA on daily as a massive test and then 50 MA on daily upside is the buy trigger. Model to follow if it sets up.
We also reviewed a few of the momentum stocks from the day.
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.

Market Outlook, Market News and Social Bits From Around the Internet:
Dollar up and stocks down before key Fed meeting minutes
If you are new to our trading service you should review recent blog posts, the Compound Trading YouTube Channeland 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).
Live Alerts for Oil, Gold, Swing Trading and Day Trading are now available only on either email and/or by following alert Twitter feed. If you did not get an email send an email to [email protected] and ask Sartaj to get you info. Most of those I spoke to are opting for email only, but the Twitter alert system is available for those that want it.
I am now also trading for our private fund which will bring some slight changes.
The financing or our business build-out was planned to occur by way of either retail memberships, institutional memberships or private fund trading. The retail market is still early and slow on the uptake of the requirement toward #IA intelligent assisted trade (within six years our estimation is that most retails traders will all need it, but until then we’re not waiting and we’ll just be ready on the other side of that awareness curve). The institutional membership growth has been very strong and to be sure we meet our growth trajectory goals (development completion timeline targets for launch of digital “intelligent assistance” #AI algorithm models) we are engaging the implementation of our private fund.
A few things of consideration:
Following my trades is never condoned. Trade alerts are for the purpose of alerting awareness to something important occurring so that a member can form a thesis of trade and they are also for the purpose of learning when I win and win I fail. This (following trades) will be more difficult going forward because my frequency of trade will considerably increase.
Trade Alerts. The trade alerts (swing and day) are not guaranteed at any time (in and/or out) however, it is important to note that with a much higher frequency of trade I will be alerting only those trades I expect to last a few hours or longer. If you ask me for targets or thesis type questions on the alert feeds or otherwise it is unlikely you will receive a response. Trade review videos will be posted for that purpose as required.
Type of Trades. I will be trading the algorithm models (the six we have), day trading and swing trading for the fund.
Trade Sizing. When I alert to the trading room or on a feed I will be alerting the size only specific to the membership base trading. In other words, the size of trade for our private fund will not be disclosed.
ROI Objective. I will be trading under the goal / target of returning 100% per month (which is near impossible, especially for the 24 month period I will be trading). 50% would be very good and 25% is my minimum goal. So at minimum I am looking for 25% ROI per month compounded over 24 months. The fund size will not be disclosed.
Term of Project. The term is 24 months (as mentioned above). It is a personal & stakeholder legacy fund / goal retirement project. Others I train as we progress may continue the legacy fund thereafter in some form or another.
Reporting and Next Gen Algorithms:
EPIC Oil $USOIL $WTI algorithm is now considered complete and ready for coding phase, Rosie Gold $GLD $GDX algorithm model is complete Gen 3 and has entered Generation 4 modeling (that is EPIC the Oil Algo level), $SPY and $DXY Generation 2 models to be released within 24 hours. $VIX Gen 1 to be re-continued within 48 hours. $Bitcoin #crypto to be released Sept 1.
New GOLD alerts Twitter feed is @GoldAlerts_CT
Post market catch up posts still on to do list (we have about thirty from last quarter to post for transparency). Hopefully going forward now that we aren’t releasing any new algorithm models etc I’ll be able to get the rhythm of reporting cycle fluent / regular. It was the development / math etc of the models that took most of the energy so it should be good going forward. Between now and Christmas we’re just locking in what we have tighter and tighter so it sounds like a good plan:)
Quarterly PL’s are in process. I have now reviewed them and am pleasantly surprised. I also review July swing P/L (out of character for me but the opportunity was there and I took it) and it was a blockbuster!
Master Class Charting Series Webinars:
Master Class 2:00 PM every Tues, Wed, Thur, Fri from 2 PM to 3:30 PM until complete. All members receive a copy in their email inbox as we progress. Full series will be posted to website at a cost of 2999.99. Early adopter members receives it free.
If you are a member that has received the video series and you ask me questions in the trading room, on DM, email etc that has the answer contained in the Master Class Series I will defer you to the training videos going forward:) That actually goes for any of the published reporting FYI.
Short term bias toward / on watch: Oil $USOIL $WTI up in overnight trading 49.51 intra, $DXY US Dollar holding 93.36, Gold / Silver jump Gold trading 1274.00 intra #war. $SPY moderate / up and $VIX moderate – there is a general time / price cycle terminating early to mid Sept (Sept 9)… so I am watching closer as summer rolls on.

(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.

Review of Compound Trading Chat Room Stock Trading, Algorithm Charting Calls and Live Stock Alerts for Tuesday March 21, 2017; $ESPR, $HTBX, $PTIE, $NAK, $NG_F, $UGAZ, $GC_F, $JNUG, $DUST – $DUST, $ONTX, $XOM, $NE, $ASM, $SSH, $LGCY, $TRCH, $ESEA, $MGTI etc…
Intro:
Time stamped entries (in permanent archive) copied to this blog in italics (below) are direct live log chat from chat trade room as they occurred (random chat from myself not applicable or other misc chat deleted). Chat trade room is also video recorded daily for trade archive.
In addition to chat, this trade-room has live voice broadcast (that covers in detail what indicators I am looking for in and out off each trade) and has live chart screen sharing right from my monitor to the room with all indicators I am looking at.
EVERY CALL WE MAKE, EVERY PUBLIC INTERACTION, REPRESENTATION OF TRADE (ON EVERY VENUE) IS VIDEO RECORDED (TRADING ROOM), ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR ON BLOG / WEBSITE TIME-STAMPED FOR PERMANENT RECORD AND ABSOLUTE TRANSPARENCY. PLEASE ALSO REFER TO OUR PUBLIC DISCLOSURE https://compoundtrading.com/disclosure-disclaimer/ .
Overview and Summary Review of Markets, Chat Room, Algo Calls, Trades and Alerts:
In play today in chat room; $ESPR, $HTBX, $PTIE, $NAK, $NG_F, $UGAZ, $GC_F, $JNUG, $DUST
$PULM was a decent runner on the day but I didn’t trade it because we were in $ESPR and watching the market movements. Some were cleaning up there risk and those type of things.
Our traders continue to do well with Natural Gas on the turn with $UGAZ and the Gold turn in $JNUG. I am still sitting in a small $DUST position that I will either add to or pivot to long Gold or miner’s in $JNUG or $NUGT if Gold confirms to upside – but it has been mostly sideways the last few months and Gold is struggling with the resistance identified by our algo some weeks back (long before Gold was anywhere near where it is).
$NAK is also on a turn here and our room has been all over it.
My morning momentum play was in $EPSR and it was a near perfectly executed trade. The video explains the chart indicators I use that got me out of the trade right on time very near the top – and there is video for it below. I got in because the market was weak but $ESPR had run the day before aggressively and in premarket it was aggressive coming in to the open. So I entered and sent an alert to our members right before open and added a few times and exited right before it turned back down. Awesome momentum trade – test book.
$ESPR Entered 44.52 premarket 1350 shares closed 934 47.63 Live on trading video with explanations will be in postmarket post for today.

$PTIE was up 66% premarket so this and $HTBX were where most trader’s were focused when I looked around (we have most rooms on our monitors and social etc).
Through the evening and early morning in the algo lab I was tweeting a storm of tweets about how the market looked bearish and had been for a few days and sure enough Tuesday was the day. Nailed it to the day but we did know it was coming. Our $SPY algo nailed the interim top AGAIN and we were sending messages in our reporting to members on different services (even on these post market trading results posts). So we were more than ready.
The interesting thing I find about our algorithmic model charting is that they always keep us on top of not just trading ranges and the like but they have all been hitting the important turns like our Gold algo hitting the top last year and the most recent bottom turn, our dollar algo is all over it and our SPY algo had us ready for this top and on and on.Or even our oil algo, always nailing it. It has added an element to my trading that I couldn’t do without – becoming used to it for sure when originally I struggled with it (like anyone would I suppose).
I am holding (in order of sizing – all moderately small size to micro sizing) – $DUST, $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.
The markets to me look toppy (as I’ve noticed previous). So last weekend we produced some simple swing charting that keeps me level when looking at the markets (examples below). Simple charting I find grounds you to simple trades which in turn keeps you profitable in toppy or sideways markets. So I find the practice crucial even though our algorithmic modeling can cut up a chart on any time-frame and I can trade scalping like nobody’s business with them… but I have businesses etc and I can’t be a minute by minute trader (right now anyway). So keeping it simple helps me and many on our swing trading side of the platform really appreciate the simple view because they have day jobs or businesses etc.
The Markets Looking Forward:
$DUST$GC_F 1251 – 1256 and I'll start loading. You only live once.
The quarterly performance report link is above in the intro to this post – we have been killing and below are some of the recent simple swing trading charts.
Natural gas on fire… I’ll try and get some time to start covering it more closely. On a side note we’re going to start covering emerging markets and USDJPY closer too soon hopefully.
Live Trading Chat Room Transcript: (on YouTube Live):
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 *). Also, times areCentral Mountain below (we’re working on the fix now), so for New York ET time add two hours to all times. Also, 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).
Important note: There are a few pieces of the transcript missing from Tuesday. We’re learning that when there’s an interruption in service that we have to restart the room and reset transcripts and it is a bit cumbersome so we are thinking of trying a different service next week. We’ll get on the right platform and we’ll get the transcripts etc sorted.
There is a morning momentum trade that I did right before open and during open that has live voice broadcast that early traders would likely benefit from (with additional comments earlier in this post). I will try and get a detailed trade explanation video done (we’re in studio for 3 days this weekend doing nothing but educational videos – yes we booked 3 days wow).

Per previous;
The Quarterly Swing Trading Performance Review P/L with Charting is Published. The Algorithms and Daytrading Quarterly Performance Reports are being compiled as I write and will be posted soon.
$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 / Trading Plan:
No specific plan, watching momentum stocks and my swing trades.
Swing trades on watch for me today are $BABA, $VRX, $NFLX, $WYNN, $XME, $URRE, $TAN, $TWLO, $GSIT, $ABX

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).
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:
