Crude Oil Algorithmic Trading: A Simple Strategy That Wins – Real Life Example.
A Real-Life Simple to Reproduce, Consistent Example of a Winning Crude Oil Day Trading Strategy From Our Lead Trader.
How Algorithmic Trading Can Help You Win Consistently (from our trading room on Friday). Man and Machine.
Day trading crude oil futures is not easy… but it is at the same time. The most difficult for me is executing trades based on what I know is right – the most probable winning trade set-ups for buy/sell signals as provided by our algorithmic oil trading model.
This is why I always tell our clients to study the rule-set and use trade alerts only for a heads-up and to use your own trading plan based on your understanding, sizing, comfort area etc. Behind the alerts is a real trader too (at least as it applies to my alerts, our machine trading alerts are a different story going forward).
The buy/signals provided by our algorithm provide structured day trading that increases my win rate greatly – but only when I respect the rules of the model.
I have published a number of articles now detailing the basic rules of the model to assist traders with a better win rate. My personal win rate went from (at best) 60% to approximately 90% (it fluctuates between 80%-95% on an annual basis – there is an ebb and flow). All time stamped live trade alerts.
In our oil trading room last Friday I was triggering trades as was our machine trading technician – man vs. machine (again).
The bottom line: the machine (without effort) won (following the rule-set), and I won – that is until I got greedy.
Both the machine trading technician and I were triggering long side positions near the same time in to the Friday regular market open (my long entries were adds to the previous night futures trade I was already in).
The trade worked well and when the trade met its price target area of the algorithmic model structure (resistance) the machine trade trimmed and then closed on some pull-back and I closed completely.
But I started looking for a further break-out above the algorithmic model signal of resistance as provided by EPIC the Crude Oil Algorithm (after I already had a winning trade). This was the error.
But I started looking for a further break-out above the algorithmic model signal of resistance as provided by EPIC the Crude Oil Algorithm (after I already had a winning trade).
So yes, my day was affected negatively (not that bad because I recovered some by trading bounces during the intra-day reversal sell off), but not good because my trading day could have been very positive vs. negative / stressful on the day.
There is a low stress easier way – just follow the rules of the model. The algorithmic trading model provides a consistent, simple, highly profitable structure for day trading (and even swing trading) crude oil.
Below I explain what I did right and what I did wrong, how easy it is to trade crude oil using proven strategies (with EPIC Oil Algorithm) and how easy it is to get greedy – hopefully my real-life experience helps your trading.
#CrudeOil #AlgorithmicTrading #TradingStrategy FX: $USOIL $WTI $CL_F $USO
The Trade Details (actual screen shots of the alert feed, charting and commentary).
Below is the initial alert (screen shot from our trade alert feed on Twitter) by our oil machine trading technician at 9:17 AM on Friday October 19, 2018. The technician alerted a trade signal long machine buy program in to the regular market open at 69.25 on the algorithmic charting.
Our algorithmic charting is produced on crude oil FX USOIL WTI and this can be used for trading oil futures CL, ETNs / ETFs such as United States Oil Fund (USO), SCO, UCO, UWTI, DWTI and more.
At 9:20 PM October 18, 2018 in futures trade the night prior (Thursday night) I alerted to the feed a long side trade entry at 68.93 as a test trade for the break of upside resistance area. So at this point I was in at 68.93 long and the technician was in the trade at 69.25 the next morning.
Less than one minute later (after the technician alerted) I was alerting adds to my existing trade (we were obviously loading our trades and alerts at near the exact same time).
The Buy Signals Triggering a Long Oil Trade Alert:
On a conventional crude oil 1 minute chart for FX USOIL WTI, the long side trade entry alert signal sent out to members of our oil trading service was based on a number of signals that combined (in momentum and confirmed with the algorithm model) provide high probability to a winning day trade – the signals are as follows:
- Intra day trade in to regular market open breached the Fibonacci trend-line resistance (grey dotted line),
- Trade breached the trading box to the upside (red box on chart),
- The Squeeze Momentum Indicator turned green again,
- The MACD turned up again,
- The Stochastic RSI had turned back up after near bottom (the closer to bottom the better in most instances),
- Trade was above the 200 MA (moving average) having just retested its support (pink on chart),
- Trade was above VWAP (orange on chart),
- Trade was above the intra-day trend support line (yellow line on chart).
- Positive buy flow volume was increasing in to open (volume bars on chart with blue highlights),
- The momentum of trade was subsequently on the bullish side,
- The algorithmic model was also in agreement (shown below and to understand the model takes some study).
On the crude oil algorithmic charting model the following reasons were in play to confirm the long trade:
- The upside price target area on the chart that had a time cycle concluding on Friday at 1:00 PM (see white arrow on chart) was most probable considering the fact that trade was above the mid trading quadrant horizontal support line (thick grey horizontal line). Which in this instance was also a primary support line for the wider time-frame for swing trading oil (which makes it a significant support area on the chart).
- In futures trade the night before, oil trade had broke to the upside of the mid quad resistance area (grey horizontal line as described above and shown on chart below).
- There was a hidden pivot (not shown on the algorithm charting but highlighted here for demonstration purposes in bright yellow – horizontal dotted yellow line on chart). The idea being that if trade momentum was turned up in to open that this hidden pivot was likely to be breached to the upside and would then become yet another support confirming the bias to the upside target on the model.
The algorithmic charting model price target described above is the “easy” trade signal I refer to in the title of this post. At any given time of trade intra-day we can provide the most probable price target for the coming time cycle conclusions. I won’t go in to detail here (that is a completely different article). You can read our other oil trading posts, become a member, watch our videos on how to use the oil algorithm, get some trade coaching or attend a boot camp for more details to this process.
The algorithmic charting model price target described above is the “easy” trade signal I refer to in the title of this post.
Another thought (off-topic a tad), consider the trading quadrant – there were four or five excellent long and short entry points on the model at the quad wall resistance and support areas. This week our machine trading technician is alerting to the EPIC Private Member Twitter Feed those trades (I will also continue as normal).
AND if you look at my original long entry the night prior in futures trade, that trade signal is an even easier trade signal – price was breaching the mid pivot on the trading quad of the model (gray line) which is also the wide swing trading support and resistance area of the charting.
I then provided our members with the trade strategy (guidance) with price targets at 69.70, 69.78 and 69.80 at 9:24 AM (right after the market opened). The price targets are where there are resistance areas of the algorithm chart provided above.
At 9:35 AM I provided further trade strategy / guidance explaining that I was looking for a reversal in the recent trend of crude oil trade (I had distributed a 4 hour chart to our membership by email the night before that I reference in the alert).
At 9:40 I publish the 4 hour oil chart with intra day trade and the two trend line support areas of the chart I was watching. Providing trade guidance that if the current support was lost in trade that we were likely turning down to the next support area on the chart in the 67’s.
Below is the 4 hour USOIL WTI chart provided to members that shows the general trend line support area of crude oil trade.
At 9:42 AM Oct 19, 2018 (25 minutes after the trade alert long oil) the machine trading alert was posted to the Twitter feed with guidance to trim at 69.58 in trade and then possibly add to the long position at 69.58 (obviously if the indicators provided a buy signal).
The reason for the trade alert issued to members to trim long positions on oil algorithm was that trade intra-day was nearing the Fibonacci trend-line resistance area on chart model (trading quadrant wall). Trade was also nearing the peak of the algorithm trading range intra-day (the apex of the model.) These are the same reasons I exited my long trade as provided below in the next section.
Notice on the chart below trade had hit 69.75’s and the trade alert (as above) price targets for the trade strategy for the day in crude oil based on the algorithmic model were published as “price targets for day trade 69.70, 69.78, 69.80 in upside scenario.”
At 9:45 AM I closed my trade at 69.57. Not a bad trade considering my entries at long crude oil at 68.93 with adds in 69.25’s. A 45 tick trade average in oil is a decent day trade (450.00 on 1 contract or in this instance about 4x that).
At 9:58 the technician trade closed on a pull back (the other half of the trade) at 69.43 – a 26 tick average. A decent trade profit, especially considering it lasted just over 30 minutes and it was low stress. It took me 12 hours to close a 45 tick trade and the tech 35 minutes to close a 26 tick trade – obviously the technician’s use of time was more efficient.
It gets worse for me though, because I thought I’d try and get a break upside primary resistance on the algorithmic oil charting. The technician followed a simple rule-set (wait for trade to prove out and then enter) and didn’t follow me in to my trade (he can’t because he is obligated to a specific rule-set for triggering trades).
The additional trade I entered I won’t detail here with screen shots etc, but I will say that it turned against me almost immediately and I should have exited the trade immediately.
As oil sold off some intra-day I held my position and added on a bounce and sold on the bounce and chiseled my way to a small loss – but a loss nonetheless. It was a waste of time.
The two primary mistakes I made in my second trade:
- I entered a long trade at the resistance of the algorithmic trading model. That is not a correct way to position a trade. I closed the previous trade properly but did not start the new trade properly.
- When intra day trade went against my position I should have closed for a small loss, but I did not.
There are other details and reasons for the trading decisions that were made, however, for simplicity and to keep this instructional post to a digestible size I will leave it here.

EPIC Oil Algorithm Chart Review of Futures Trade at 5:40 minutes on video.
Started positions at 72.10 (I was late it caught me off guard, I entered over pivot on the algorithm model) trimmed at 72.50 on the EPIC Oil Algorithm Model resistance point on chart, added above 72.60 and closed 72.55 took a 5 cent shave on last trade but the trade over-all was a great way to start the week.
Daytrade in Oil the Team got on Trade Alert by Member in Trading Room at 6:30 minutes on video.
The team got the short side trade on the Saudi Trump news flow. Perfect timing.
Divergent Chart Noise Technical Analysis at 7:15 minutes on video.
The divergent area of oil trade on the algorithm charting model is reviewed for intra-day from Friday and Sunday night futures trade. The down trending channel is pointed out as support and trade under that channel support is noise on the chart.
BEWARE of Trump Designate to Saudi Arabia Meeting at 7:25 on video
When the Trump designate to President Trump comes out of the Saudi Arabia meeting today you can expect oil to sell-off if the news flow is positive and happy.

Trade Strategy Specific to Daytrading Signals and Technical Analysis on Oil Algorithm Chart at 7:50 on video.
70.66 is day-trading support for your intra-day trading strategy.
I am looking for a long in the support region of the oil algorithmic charting at the up channel support area of the chart.
If it really sells off (considering news flow) I’ll be careful with my long bias.
Positioning on the week is to the short side and mid term long side in oil trade. I expect oil to become bullish.
Crude Oil Trading Strategy with Trend-Lines on Weekly Chart Reviewed at 9:50 on video.
Crude Oil Trading Strategy with Trend-Lines on Weekly Chart Reviewed.
Over 76.00 area of chart and that time-cycle would be very bullish on the chart. My bias is for the next 6 months is really bullish – we will see.
Early December peak in time-cycle on the chart for your trading strategy is reviewed on the video. This timing concurs with the timing for the volatility time cycle peak on the VIX charting for December.
The range we are in is reviewed on the weekly trend-line chart.
Approximately 69.00 – 69.50 area on this specific chart is an implied support area of the chart considering higher lows in this range of trade.
The Algorithmic Model Chart for Symmetry in Oil Trade is Reviewed at 12:35 on video.
This is one of my favorite charts for guidance in oil trading strategies.
Two options are reviewed in the symmetry on the chart. The downside option is 67.50 support area and upside 79.00 resistance at the time cycle peak on this chart (end of November 2018). Other support and resistance areas are also reviewed. A spike through the structured time cycle on chart reviewed could see a huge move in the price of oil – 86.00 – 93.00 is possible end of March 2019.
The Oil Daily Chart is Reviewed at 12:50 on video.
One of one my main reasons for being short term bearish oil is the MACD on the daily chart and trade is under the pivot on the chart but structure is in play long trading over mid pivot on structure of chart.
69.41 first week of November is possible as down side support at Fibonacci trend-line that is up-trending. The top of trading box is 69.30 area that could hit 69.30 ish on chart.
Other areas of support are discussed on the chart that coincides with the 200 MA on the chart also.
If I had to lay my bet down right now pressure in to mid 68s in oil would be my bias for strategy and then up from there – reasons are given in video.
Weekly Wedge Chart is Reviewed 20:00 minutes on the video.
End of October suggests support 68.30 end of October 2018, so a little earlier considering time frame on this chart.
Short side bias warning in that time cycle area of the chart is discussed on the video.
Monthly Oil Chart is Reviewed at 22:00 minutes on the video.
Pivot is at 69.50 range on the monthly chart and oil has been trading between the 100 MA and 200 MA as I guided to our members when we first entered this area and now I’m suggesting that end of October in to early November we will break up or down out of this range we have been in for months (per guidance). My bias is to the upside break in oil trade with 86.00 – 92.00 in to April of next year.
Time Cycles are Reviewed starting at 22:30 on the video (on various charts).
Dec 10, 2018 area of charting is the big time-cycle peak. All the charts are concurring to the end of November early December time cycle frames for a peak in time cycle for your trading strategy and a key area to watch. Trajectory on mid pivot on daily chart is 74.00 range for mid price pivot with near 80.00 as highs. On the weekly wedge 79.00 area possible in to same time frame. The trend-line weekly high for that timing in oil trade is similar also. Last week of November and early December is a very important area.
Crystal Ball Forward Guidance for Oil Trade discussed on video at 25:45 mins.
Downside in to end of October and then we’re going up in to mid December 2018 unless Trump news flow knocks trade under 63 – 64 on the trading box reviewed on the video. December 2018 upside 83.00 – 86.00 price target and 90s price targets are possible for oil trade in to March of 2019.
Inflection Point on Charting Reviewed on video at 27:50 mins.
On EPIC Crude Oil Trade Algorithm the support area of the model is reviewed “trading basket” in area of trading quad reviewed with inflection possible there – very likely scenario for my trading strategy. This is it.
Watch for happiness after the Saudi Arabia meeting and then be ready to go upside from there.
Thanks

Swing Trading Special Report Sun Oct 14 (Part A) FEYE, ROKU, SHOP, ARWR, TSLA, AGN, CRON, SQ.
Compound Trading Swing Trade Report Sunday October 14, 2018 (Part A).
Swing Trading Signals and Stock Picks In this Issue: FEYE, ROKU, SHOP, ARWR, TSLA, AGN, CRON, SQ.
Email us at [email protected] anytime with any questions about any of the swing trades listed below. Or, if we get bogged down private message Curtis in trade room or direct message him on Twitter. Market hours are tough but we endeavor to get back to everyone after market each day.
Notices:
Below is Part A of this special swing trading report covering stocks that we have recently been trading or have been active stocks traded by our members and/or stocks that were recently covered at the Trade Coaching Boot Camp. Basically we are consolidating all the most recent swing trade strategies in to a few reports prior to earnings season kicking in. After this short series of reports we will return to the regular rotational reports and also introduce some themed swing trading reports (we have one for swing trading pot stocks, we are working on a financials report and an energy special report currently).
Swing trading set-ups in this short series of reports over the few weeks will provide charting and trade signals for the following equities; FEYE, ROU, SHOP, ARWR, TSLA, AGN, CRON, SQ, XBIO, FB, DIS, LEVB, NBEV, NIHD, BZUN, BLDP, AMD, OSI, CARA, BABA, EDIT, AAPL, NFLX, MTEM, PYX, XXII, PRQR, BOX, GTHX, SSW, HIIQ, ATHM, ESPR, CALA, APVO, MOMO, GSUM, CLDR, FIT among others. If you have any swing trading charting requests send them to us on email. The first of the trading set-ups in this series are included below.
Until mid July 2018 we distributed one swing trading report (1 of 5 in rotation) with a mandate being one report per week on average cycling the five reports that include over one hundred equities every five weeks (approximately).
Commencing July 2018 we switched up our swing trading service to also include special reports for earnings season, special trade set-ups, and swing trade alerts direct to your email inbox. Per above, soon we will also be producing themed reports.
When managing your trades with the weekly reports keep in mind that you will have to invest an hour or two a week to check the indicators mentioned for buy and sell triggers. I was asked recently why we do not usually (although we do sometimes) include precise entry and exit points. The reason is simple, they don’t work – those services have terrible results.
Swing trading success, even with a service, does require “some” maintenance on the part of the user, although the new live alert service will take much of that burden off the user as we know many of our users have busy lives. It is the indicators lining up that signal a trade long entry or an exit. In our case we rely heavily on the natural trading structure of the financial instrument; including the MACD on daily or weekly, Stochastic RSI, Moving Averages, trading boxes, quadrants, Fibonacci support and resistance, trend lines, trajectory / trend of trade, time-cycles and more.
Indicators we base trade entry and exits on are at times listed with each trade posted so any user that does even moderate trade management will know when the indicator(s) have turn with or against the trade (here again it is wise to have at least a basic understanding of trading structures because you need to be able to respond to your own trading rules based process).
It is critical that you attend to the maintenance of your signals at least once a week if not twice and set stops and preferably alarms so that intra-week you can enter / exit or add / trim as required.
If you need help with rules based swing trading technical analysis, a specific trading plan (entries, exits, adds or trims) or with a simple understanding of proper structured charting and/or trading structured set-ups you can book some trade coaching time and we will assist you with your trade planning as needed. You may find after a few hours of trade coaching that this is all you need to become a proficient profit side trader.
We can schedule private coaching online, you can attend a trading boot-camp (online or in person) or order the downloadable recordings of a recent trading boot-camp or master class series (each about 20 hours of training per event). For any of those options email us for details.
Below is a primer if you know none or very little about proper chart structures:
“I get a lot of Questions on How to Trade our Structured Chart Models, this video has 5 min starter explanation at 1:00 – 6:00 min”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrXbE7lojAg&t=3s … – Fibonacci Trend-lines, Trading structure/quads, Price targets, Main support resistance (buy sell triggers), Time cycles, Moving averages, Trading trims/adds.
Intra-week you can DM myself on Twitter (@curtmelonopoly), visit me on Discord (http://discord.gg/2HRTk6n) and private message me or email me ([email protected]) with specific questions regarding trades you are considering. You can also visit the main trading during the mid-day review and ask questions by text in the chat area of the room.
IF WE DON’T GET BACK TO YOU RIGHT AWAY it is usually because we are pressured with reporting deadlines or are in a trading session.

Current Swing Trading Signals and Stock Charts.
FIREEYE (FEYE) Trading 16.68, on 200 MA support, mid quad key support 16.22, with MACD turned down – key bearish signal. #swingtrade $FEYE
Key resistance trade signal is at 19.24 on this chart with key support trade signal for FEYE at 13.05. The MACD turned down on the daily chart is a bearish signal but price is above 200 MA and above primary support for the range (mid quad horizontal Fibonacci line) at 16.18.
Under 16.18 is a short to a possible price target of 13.05 Dec 3, 2018.
Above 16.18 is a long to a possible price target of 19.32 Dec 3, 2018.
Indecisive trade will see 16.18 range Dec 3, 2018.
No current trader bias for the FEYE trade set-up – indecisive, but recent trajectory does suggest 19.32 Dec 3, 2018 as long as price holds 16.18 and 200 MA.

ROKU (ROKU) trading 60.41, MACD turned down bearish signal, above 200 MA with support 58.20, price targets in report $ROKU #swingtrading
The MACD turned down is a considerably bearish signal, the 200 MA on ROKU chart is at 45.69 so it could easily see some considerable downside. However, the algorithmic channel support (first possible, at yellow uptrending line) is at 53.82 and trade recently bounced well off that area. I will be watching the channel support area for a possible trade long pending the general market sentiment near-term.
Near term support is also at 58.20 (mid quad Fibonacci support) and range support (trading box) is at 53.50. Range resistance on ROKU chart is at 63.16.
If downward pressure ensues then 48.49 Oct 30, 2018 time cycle is probable and even 38.40 is possible.
If market sentiment turns up and trade in ROKU turns up then 68.11 is most likely Oct 30 and 78.00 possible but far from probable.
Indecisive trade scenario sees 58.00 range Oct 30, 2018.
No current trade bias, however, as with others (considering the market sell-off last week) I will be watching general market sentiment going forward for a trade either way in ROKU.

SHOPIFY (SHOP) Trading under 200 MA under main range pivot support is bearish with channel support test near $SHOP #swingtrading
With earnings in 11 days I am watching SHOPIFY very close here to see how trade handles the prospective algorithmic charting channel support area on chart (yellow up-trending line on chart below). If that line fails 116.22 is probable price target for Jan 10, 2019 swing trade with 92.01 possible and 67.59 price target not likely but there.
In a bullish scenario (a turn above the 200 MA with MACD turned back up on daily chart) targets 166.27 probable and 190.89 in a break-out scenario (not likely but definitely possible if the market sentiment turns risk off again).
The trade signal short is the channel support and the trade signal long is MACD down with 200 MA upside breached.
What Should Investors Expect When Shopify Reports Earnings? $SHOP https://finance.yahoo.com/news/investors-expect-shopify-reports-earnings-190000338.html?.tsrc=rss
The future looks bright for Shopify. As e-commerce continues to capture an even greater percentage of retail, the company is positioned to reap even further gains over the years and decades to come. Investors should take a long-term view, however, as the stock price will continue to be volatile. Brace yourself for the wild ride to continue when the company reports on Oct. 25.

ARROWHEAD PHARMA (ARWR) MACD turned down but over 200 MA and channel support. On watch for adds to trade. $ARWR #swingtrading #tradealerts
I am currently in a swing trade position (starter size) and will look to add to the swing long at the 200 MA support if trade hits that mark this week (I was hoping it was going to hit end of week last week on late Friday afternoon trade but it didn’t quite get there).
If trade breaks the 200 MA to the downside then 8.90 price target is in play for November 28, 2018 time cycle completion (which is also at the algorithm chart model prospective channel support – yellow line on chart).
The most important support trade signal in near term trade (this week) is that trade closed Friday right near the trading box support range in the 12.65 range. If ARWR sees a bounce then 16.25 is in play for Nov 28th.

TESLA (TSLA) At trading box range support EOD Friday, in a bounce it targets 280.34 Nov 20, 2018 $TSLA #swingtrading
MACD on daily chart is turned down, but TESLA stock trades somewhat eradic in normal course of trade. The range is the most important consideration and I have TESLA on high watch for a significant bounce here. The trading range is fairly consistent and as long as maret sentiment doesn’t completely plummet near-term I’ll likely take a trade for a bounce to upper price target at 279.56 Nov 20, 2018, trading at close Friday 258.78.
As Tesla continues to ramp up production in the fourth quarter, “we can expect the brand to continue to gain ground on the luxury leaders”

ALLERGAN (AGN) swing trade couldn’t be going any better, add to long at 200 MA or channel support, trim at resistance points $AGN #swingtrading #chart
With earnings in sixteen days and AGN presenting soon (see news article below), trade near 200 MA support – I will consider adding to my position there if it looks to be holding and pending market sentiment, if not I will surely add at algorithmic charting model channel support on the chart as noted below.

CRONOS (CRON) above 10.25 buy signal for upside price target, below 8.40 short to price target. $CRON
If trade stays in trading box short at resistance in 10.25 range long at 8.40 range for a bounce in trading box. However, it looks like it could turn here. This is a 240 minute chart and not a daily chart for lower time frame trading.
Also of note, the MACD on 240 min chart just turned back up and the Squeeze Momentum indicator flashed green in last 4 hours of trade on Friday.

SQUARE (SQ) above 74.00 targets 78.64 next. Resistance at 76.27 and 82.27 if in upside trade. $SQ #swingtrade #tradealerts
I really like this trade set-up long again. If markets get momentum this could see a decent upside return. Careful with the resistance areas noted and also note that the chart model is “rough” and needs some work, but good enough to provide signals for an upside swing trade here.

Crude Oil Trading Strategy – How I Will be Trading Oil in to Time Cycles FX $USOIL $WTI $CL_F $USO
Crude Oil Trade has been on a rally for some time. A retrace is in order, but how how far will oil retrace? What is my personal oil trading strategy? What is my bias – bullish or bearish in to time cycles?
To be clear, I am very bullish oil based on various geo-political set-ups or probabilities. That’s my fundamental bias – bullish oil, the reasons would take a book to explain and that’s not our focus here anyway. The focus here is to know the key areas of support and resistance on the primary time frames to trade oil this week for profit. So this post will focus on that and the regular EPIC oil algorithm report will be out soon.
Here’s my personal trading plan (strategy) for crude oil…
The recent run up in oil caught me off-guard, prior to the run-up I was on a multi-week winning streak. Where the change in streak for my trading occurred was when I changed time frames and algorithmic models – I was testing some machine trading models we are coding.
Anyway, that’s water under the bridge and I’m ready for the next.
Below is a break down of what I see coming in my personal oil trading strategy near term. First lets review a few crude oil charts on a few different time frames…
Crude oil weekly chart with key areas of support and resistance in trading box to watch.
The trading box on the weekly chart provides an upper resistance starting at around 75.30 and a lower support area starting at around 72.93.
The diagonal Fibonacci trend lines provide an up trend resistance at around 74.75 and down trend support nearing 73.50.
Neither is absolute (the trading box or Fib trend lines), but they are marks to watch. The way that crude oil trades is that every key decision is to be watched for a turn, you never know which will cause a turn so you make your move based on what has happened at each decision.
The weekly charting structure is a large structure and the trading box should be weighted significant in anyone’s trading plan.
Crude oil daily chart with key resistance and support areas of trade on watch.
On the daily chart the trading box offers support starting at around 73.26 and has a range of support to about 73.00 which puts it about 7 cents off where the weekly chart trading box support is at (starts). Intra-day in Sunday night futures FX USOIL WTI is trading 73.69 and hit a low of day in this session so far at 73.53.
If oil rally’s again, the daily chart says 79.09 area is the start of significant resistance in the trading box range. If you reference 79.00 ish on the weekly chart that brings trade to the upper region of the Weekly charting resistance also. The two time-frames do not concur exact, but they are similar.
Also of note, the 20 MA is at 71.96 intra-day (an indicator to consider).
Symmetry on this daily chart structure says 80.00 Nov 28 and 86.70 Jan 25 are in play if rally re-starts.
And yet another structure to consider… but only consider as it relates to symmetry possible. The channel may also be in play (white arrows). The rule of trade should be to EPIC’s oil algorithmic charting model, the charts included in this special report like this one are provided for consideration only.
Trade in crude oil near algorithm channel support or resistance in up channel or down channel is an obvious area to start entries.
The support and resistance areas of the trading channels on the EPIC algorithm are the most obvious areas to secure a turn in trade – these I will be respecting and trading with as serious of focus as I can muster going forward. The support and resistance areas of the channels work. Take your entry, keep your stop tight because you can always re-enter. When trade is near support or resistance simply use a 5 minute time frame and time in accordance to intra day trade and use a stop, keep it tight, and re-enter as needed. Five small scrapes for a trade that can move through the quad range is a small price to pay.
Last but not least there is significant range support near 72.53 on the crude oil algorithm model that I will respect in my trade plan.
So what’s the bottom line to my crude oil trading strategy going forward?
It doesn’t matter how many time-frames you chart oil on there is no way to get the various time-frames to concur, oil is just that way. Because oil trade is that way it is critical to use a rules based process for your trade execution.
The most predictable way that I have found is to use the algorithm model support and resistance at the channel signals. If you respect those areas of the algorithm and viciously respect tight stops understanding that you can always re-renter then you will do well. If you let fear or bias play with your mind you will fail. How do I know? Trust me, I’ve been trading the algorithm model since inception and I can tell you without a doubt that respecting its structure works and not respecting it causes embarrassing losses. A rigid system of trade works.
Anything I can do to help you with your trading let me know.
Thanks
Curt

It has been excellent this week! I had reported last week that I seen an inflection coming early this week and we nailed it! Continued market momentum if very possible in to next week. Many of the set-ups I have been posting the last week are firing trade signals consistently.
ITS SEEMS WE HAVE SOLVED THE BROADCASTING ISSUES WITH HARD WIRED FIBER INTERNET.
BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE CHART DATE AND TIME IN TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF EACH CHART.
September 20, 2018
Crude Oil Trading Update ($USOIL, $WTI, $CL_F, $USO) – I review the crude oil algorithm on the video. Twice this week I took trades that I closed only to have them run after closing (I was away from monitors at each time). Execution of trades at the support and resistance of the crude oil trading algorithm (EPIC) has been excellent.
The weekly oil price targets from the weekly crude oil trading report and the charting provided in the reports have been really predictable lately also.
The crude oil trading alerts feed has been quieter this week because the trading plan in oil was to take the trades at the wider ranges to leg in to the trades, I did however alert the channel support and channel resistance and following through those trades would have been very profitable for oil trading members.
SP500 $SPY $SPXL $SPXS – On the SPY algorithm charting for 60 minute time-frame I have been watching for a break over the test area resistance 291.60 (trade alert on SPY went to swing trading alerts feed). Sept 24 time cycle 288.88 283.77 and uptrend 299.50 would be most bullish scenario. 294.33 resistance intra and main support on SPY intra-day 293.00.
APPLE $APPL – Apple’s stock is over 50 ma on 240 minute chart, trade alert went out on swing trading alert feed for Apple today. Testing the 20 MA, 224.70 resistance, 229.70 resistance, 236.75 is heavy resistance. Support 215.60 area intra-day and 219.02.
NETFLIX $NFLX – The long side trade that alerted that some members took has been very good at main support on the Apple chart. The trading support and resistance areas are discussed on video. Review of the chart model and video are important to understand the trading signals for Apple. 364.00 362.14 support areas, 395.59 397.90 are resistance areas. Really important to look at the chart and video explanation however.
FACEBOOK $FB – One of my favorite trade set-ups, especially for wash-out snap back trades. Facebook is currently under significant government pressure now so I am not expecting the same as previous. The horizontal red and blue support and resistance areas (forming the test area box on the charts) is reviewed and the diagonal Fibonacci trend lines. Here again review of the video and chart is really important. 167.51 mid quad resistance caution here, 100 MA resistance 169.40, diagonal Fib resistance, 173.51 is upside possible, 169.03 downside possible. The trading box is reviewed on the model. Buy sell triggers for trading signals on Facebook are also reviewed.
There is a previous special report on how to trade Facebook on our website.
EDITAS $EDIT – The value of structured set-ups with symmetry in the algorithmic stock chart models is discussed here. Examples are $GDX, $BLDP, $NBEV, $AGN, $EDIT and many more. The symmetry on EDIT chart has hit five times and typically you will see it stretched at that point. A trade alert went out today on $EDIT to watch closely going in to this time cycle. The video explains the details.
CRONOS $CRON – I have reviewed CRON chart set-ups many times this week. There is a light sidewinder trade set-up with the 50 MA and 20 MA on the CRON charting. You can expect a fairly decent move when the 20 MA breaches the 50 MA upside. It’s a lower time-frame being on a 240 minute chart, but it still may be enough to get price over that key resistance area reviewed on the chart and video. Pivots support and resistance areas also reviewed on video.
NEW AGE BEVERAGES $NBEV – I put out a special report to members today on NBEV and the trade has been fantastic since. The resistance areas and time cycles are reviewed on the video. The testing area (trading box) are reviewed. Also the price extensions (price targets) are reviewed. If price holds and price moves bullish in to time-cycle discussed on video the upside price targets for NBEV are extremely positive and reviewed on video. 9.38 is a very critical resistance and support area in to the key time cycle peak on the NBEV chart.
BALLARD POWER $BLDP – On the swing trading alert feed today a special alert went out on the fact that the last five time cycle completions in Ballard Power stock charting the price reversed in trade of Ballard. This is a symmetrical stock trade set-up that traders should not ignore. BLDP trading 4.50 up 7.42% intra-day spiking in to time cycle completion Oct 10, resistance 4.50 and the test range on the chart is reviewed.
BOAZUN $BZUN – Holding key support intra-day, if it holds a run up in price is possible. Termination of time cycle on 4 hour chart is near so get ready soon. High probability set-up. Details of trade set-up for BZUN reviewed in video. My bias is that this runs up.
ADVANCED MICRO $AMD – key support hit on chart and bounced, Oct 2 price target in bullish scenario is 33.62 and bearish scenario 22.87 in sell-off, mid quad on chart is discussed on video with various price target scenarios like 31.40 range being indecisive price target on Oct 2.
OSI SYSTEMS $OSIS – trading 77.55 testing 50 MA and key Fibonacci resistance on diagonal Fibonacci trend line, price target 84.21 Dec 28 is possible in uptrend trading. Resistance and support lines and how to trade the chart is reviewed on the model in video.
CARA THERAPEUTICS $CARA – I knew this one was going to get going, you don’t get many trade set-ups this strong.
There is a trade coaching bit of advice at this point on the video with reference to trading structured charting and its benefits to traders. Also market inflections and how to trade for your profit and loss and associated sizing in market inflections is also reviewed.
CARA is a great case study, going back to NBEV chart is reviewed on video – how price was getting bullish in to time cycle and how that relates to symmetry and price targets that can be traded.
28.20 is very likely fast in CARA trading if trade gets above key resistance. I put a trade alert out while recording video.
ALIBABA $BABA – this is the swing trade that I was under water on, bounced of 100 MA, now back in it’s structure, has a number of tests, 206.85 price target to upside with 237.62 most bullish scenario May 27, 2019. See chart review in video.
LEVEL BRANDS $LVEB – anything over 6.00 will confirm an upside trend and if that triggers we’ll structure the charting for you and go from there.
ALTIMMUNE $ALT – hit 50 MA resistance today, alarmed for a breach above the 50 MA and a possible run to 100 MA. Will alert the trade in ALT if it breaches the 50 MA and structure the chart model for members.
$CRBP – chart is too choppy.
COOL HOLDINGS $AWSM – garbage chart.
$YGYI – trade never holds gains.
$AYTU – choppy trading, garbage chart.
XENETIC BIOSCIENCES $XBIO – there is a special trade set-up report out on this set-up in XENETIC BIOSCIENCESS (XBIO) chart, trading up 23% today.
$OSN – over 200 MA, no good, no structure.
NII HOLDINGS $NIHD – up 19% in trading today, aggressive chart, bounced off 20 MA, trading 5.06, good argument 5.60 as a watch area on other side of the bowl, 6.25 is a safer region to look at a possible big run to 9.00. A double upside extension is possible. It is a structured trading chart. I alarmed NIHD for a trade.
$ICCC – trading 9.13 up 20%, swing trading service provider dream, signal long when price is over 200 MA and win almost every trade, you would take the odd cut but the moves would make up any cuts taken.
$VXRT – trading 2.85, terrible chart.
$COE – bad chart.
$KNDI – not a bad chart, testing the 50 MA, over 200 MA you could start to look at it, this will likely go on a run upside over 200 MA, possible reversal setting up on this chart.
$FTNW – bad chart.
$COCP – bad chart.
$LOMA – bad chart.

Sept 18, 2018 Mid Day Trading Room Review.
Again, the sound upload quality struggled, today we’ll test the hardwired set-up and see if it’s better.
Reviewed the PL for 2017 and 2018 along with goals for Q4 2018 and Q1 2019 – gearing up for a big Q4 this year and Q1 2019 (getting back to basics of trading vs software development because development funds come from trading of course).
BE SURE TO LOOK AT THE CHART DATE AND TIME IN TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF EACH CHART.
Crude Oil $WTI $CL_F $USO – review of crude oil algorithm and crude oil trading alert at channel support that I should have held, anyway I cut and missed it. Also the top channel resistance crude oil trade set-up was good (missed it, but some of the members reporting they nailed it). Opportunities this week with trading range and EIA reviewed. Crude oil machine trading price targets reviewed also (for last week’s trade). Only 1 minute chart below showing intra day resistance on second trade attempt on day (algorithm models not below).
VIKING THERAPEUTICS $VKTX – we had this lined up in premarket, retraced intra-day.
TILRAY $TLRY – trading at only 420 x earnings or something like that. Weekly chart gap on gap on weekly body of candles. Only way I would long this is on short time frames, and I likely will when the pot stocks settle a bit – working on the charting for all the pot stocks right now (hopefully released this weekend in prep for a sector pull back when it happens).
SP500 $SPY $SPXS $SPXL – 60 minute chart reviewed, over 291.70 is the upside break resistance, above the box price targets for Sept 27 reviewed on video, various support and resistance areas reviewed.
MOMO $MOMO – signalling a long or add long over 48.50 (if it holds, you always trim in to resistance areas and then add above or wait for a pull back and add to your long trade), expected trading trajectory reviewed on video, price targets for between now and Feb 5, 2019 large time cycle peak conclusion reviewed on video. This is a very structured chart.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/MOMO/zkLs91ot-MOMO/
22nd Century Group $XXII – price targets reviewed on video. Very structured equity that has excellent ROI ROE. Not a chart or trade set-up to ignore IMO.
SHOPIFY $SHOP – bulls pressing the upside diagonal Fibonacci resistance, price targets reviewed. Great alert from Sean for an excellent swing trade. Could see previous highs in 177.00s really fast.
CEL SCI Corp $CVM – targets at 5.00 and 6.00 reviewed on chart on video and more is possible, liquidity is my issue. A double upside extension move is possible with this bullish scenario, bottom bounce structure coming out of bowl.
ROKU $ROKU – was at resistance 73.55 and price targets reviewed on video. As price nears the peak of the time cycle on the chart prepare for possible double extension blow-through on this one.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/ROKU/7dzcNyBE-ROKU/
Note: CARA, BOX, BABA, POQR, SSW, VIX, OIL, SPY and others reviewed on yesterday’s video BTW.
CARA THERAPEUTICS $CARA – price targets etc reviewed on yesterday’s video.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/CARA/DtYzRa8p-CARA/
US Dollar $DXY – decision October 3, 2018 that is important on the US Dollar DXY charting (parallel to many other peak time cycles in broad markets). Probability is up at or prior to time cycle completion.
$RLM – no.
$OASM – if you’re a risk taking trader this is a real aggressive chart structure, top of bowl is where it is trading now but it has a nature of coming off hard and it is thinly traded.
$NBEV NEW AGE BEVERAGES – weekly chart over 50 MA targeting 100 MA not a great ROI there in that set-up, chart is hard read. On daily up over 200 MA, does respect the 200 MA on daily, Showing bullish initial signals of a return. This one should go. Volume is good, Initial view I was not too interested but as I looked closer at the NBEV chart I realized this on should be on high watch. I went in to great detail of the pivots on the chart, buy sell triggers and price targets for NBEV.
NEW AGE BEVERAGES (NBEV) Above 2.80, targets 3.27, 4.17, 4.89.
$BHTG – no.
$RDCM – sitting on previous trading range support. 16.00 is reasonable, decent chart.
CRONOS GROUP (CRON) $CRON – reviewed on video, on the fly chart structure model reviewed. On high watch, expect a possible upside trading scenario with CRONOS. A trendline resistance was reviewed and important support and resistance and price targets reviewed on video (while we are processing this report the morning of Sept 19 it is moving in premarket trading up 8.39% at 12.53 in premarket this morning nearing its upside trading test area, the trendline resistance was broke to upside and the 13.00 area resistance in next). Over trendline sees the next test fast and the other price targets reviewed on video.
Updated set-up and trade alert for $CRON in premarket today while we process this video report.
CRONOS – per yesterday’s trade alert and review video over trendline on way to resistance test in premarket $CRONO #tradealert #premarket https://www.tradingview.com/chart/CRON/klRhec02-CRONOS-per-yesterday-s-trade-alert-and-review-video-over-trend/
AVON – Daily chart for AVON reviewed, likes the 200 MA with some room, testing resistance right now, I can’t touch it until it’s up for 3.00, needs to see recent highs first and then still some challenges.
$PYX – weekly chart reviewed, no structure I can work with.
$NVTA – aggressive structure, 18.90 alarmed on chart, has potential for a rip upside.
$EPM – not enough there. Doesn’t have margin, widths.
$CL – bad structure on chart.
YELP $YELP – technical bounce off 200 MA on the weekly chart in to resistance area on chart, if you’re long go to previous steps shown on chart in video, not taking the trade but it may work, not my thing – not enough range for ROI ROE for me.
$SRT – no.
$JONE – no.
$DEQ – no.
CANOPY GROWTH $CGC – had the opportunity to be in ground floor of this industry in Canada and turned it down jeez, getting close to previous candle high on weekly chart, could see a large a move there. Chart for Canopy Growth reviewed on the video. Can’t chase it here where it is on the chart and I’ll watch. Working on the structure of all the charts on our equities covered in our swing trading platform and when we’re done I’ll get more day trade aggressive.
CALIFORNIA RESOURCES $CRC – Aggressive chart and trade set-ups, coming out of bowl, 39.32 an 39.86 pivots on chart reviewed on video. Start watching it at 40.00 and see how it does.
THOR INDUSTRIES $THO – resting on the 200 MA trading about half way between it and 100 MA, it will likely turn here, price above moving averages on chart with 20MA breaching the 50 MA is a good entry long on this chart. The sidewinder set-up will be key on this one (reviewed on video) – that’s where the good returns are.
$MRSN – no chart structure, junk.
DIGITAL ALLEY $DGLY – trading 4.05, daily chart, getting in to diagonal trendline resistance at 12.20 right now, over 12.31 is a nice confirmation to the long side of this trade. Nice chart.
$CCXI – swing traders service type of trending stock that has way to many steps and not enough ROI, the step type that chop up a trader I’m not interested in.
$MHLD – no.
$BRID – no.
$NXIO – chart structure can get aggressive, gapping through chart structure makes me nervous.
There were many more of the momentum stocks for the day reviewed and the stocks selling-off on the day were also reviewed.

Crude oil trading $WTI $CL_F $USO – review of crude oil algorithm, machine trading model, charting, price targets for time cycles this week reviewed.
PROQR Therapeutics $PROQR – Excellent chart set-up, one of my favorite trades of late. Buy sell trading signals reviewed. Bounced at support at previous trade alert now at key resistance, trim in to resistance and over 22.70 targets 24.85 then 27.50. Watch the diagonal trend line (quad wall). Careful shorting this stock, 18.05 possible.
US Dollar $DXY – Review of US Dollar Algorithm charting. Lower support trend line and upper trend line, support and resistance areas to watch. Review of structure.
$CARA Therapeutics – testing previous highs, testing other side of bowl and a full extension is possible here, structured chart trading signals reviewed, Target Dec 10 30s or 38.00s if it breaks out. Pull back to 16.36 support, look for a bounce there if it sells-off. 19.70 is near term support for a test long also.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/CARA/DtYzRa8p-CARA/
BOX $BOX – previously provided upside targets, down side scenario on video 22.32 good support, 50 MA support is good, intra day in down trajectory lines, 10.36 is a downside sell-off target that is possible in a panic. Channel symmetry also reviewed.
SEASPAN $SSW – keeps hitting resistance, simple short at each, looking for a long over resistance in trajectory on video. Upside 10.18 first target, best scenario Nov 11.93 and 18.30 best best not probable.
G1 Therapeutics $GTHX – pullback in price here doesn’t surprise me, candle body is in current bullish trajectory lines on chart, review of downside supports and upside price targets. 76.00 – 80.00 (up over 69.62 is a trigger). All areas reviewed on video.
SHOPIFY $SHOP – chart pivot acting as support (red line) Oct 10 166.72 price target, holding key support, working up against a quad wall (diagonal Fib resistance), 154.35 buy side comes in at that area. Pull back support is 50 MA primary for a long side test trade.
SP500 $SPY – the box test area reviewed, above box is a long and under is a short. 283.93 278.47 Sept 1 are downside targets in a sell-off. Other trade signals and price targets reviewed on video.
ALIBABA $BABA – underwater a bit on this swing trade in BABA, I’m in 1/10 sizing now. Bounced off 100 MA, trading right at box support, Dec 17 trade price targets discussed to low side. Adds at each support is the trading plan for ALIBABA should sell-off continue.
https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BABA/gKTnmCkK-BABA/
FACEBOOK $FB – 20 MA upside resistance trade alarm set for possible turn on the snap-back trade I’m looking for. 240 min chart.

$GHG – junk, no structure
$CEL – not a good chart
$CWH – terrible
$SPA – at previous lows, bounced there before…. but…. no structure

$WAB – not interested
$AG – on 200 MA support, not interested.

Set ups in $BOX and $SHOP below are on watch.
$NIO premarket trading near yesterday highs (IPO).
Currently have oil on watch in premarket. Favor 69.83 for end of Friday at this point on FX $USOIL $WTI, currently trading at mid quad waiting on decision.
Per my suggestion yesterday there is continued reason for a possible inflection in Gold and Silver to bullish side. There are still some hurdles but it seems near. $GLD $SLV
Also per my suggestion yesterday… Bitcoin has been recovering, so BTC is also watch that at this point. As noted previous I am trying to position for a run in to December. $BTC $XBT. Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin swaps launch has me intrigued.
If you missed premarket reports over last few days there were a number of swing trade set ups in there that could inflect and become decent trades.

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

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).
