Navigating Crude Oil Volatility with Confidence

A Message to EPIC Agentic AI Software Users: Navigating Crude Oil Volatility with Confidence

Dear Valued EPIC AI Trading Software Users,

At EPIC AI, our mission has always been to empower our clients with cutting-edge trading technology, built to thrive in even the most challenging markets. As users of our EPIC Agentic AI software, you are part of a community that leverages some of the most advanced trading protocols available, designed to tackle the volatility of crude oil and other markets while delivering consistent value. We understand that recent market fluctuations in crude oil trade may raise questions, and we want to reassure you that our systems are not only equipped to handle these challenges but are now stronger than ever with new enhancements. This letter outlines our proven approach, recent protocol advancements, and our unwavering commitment to your success.

Why Crude Oil? The Ultimate Proving Ground

Crude oil trading is not for the faint of heart. Often described as a “wild horse,” it is one of the most volatile and unpredictable markets, driven by global headlines, geopolitical events, and rapid price swings that can test even the most seasoned traders. So why do we engage in it? Because mastering crude oil sets the foundation for unparalleled risk management and performance across all markets. For over nine years, we have refined our AI-driven trading systems in this high-stakes arena, knowing that software robust enough to succeed here can dominate less volatile markets like the Nasdaq, stocks and crypto with ease.

Our thesis has always been clear: if we can win consistently in crude oil, other markets become comparatively straightforward. The challenges of crude oil have shaped our software into a resilient, adaptive tool that delivers results. While drawdowns, such as the recent 10-15% draw within our risk parameters, are part of this landscape, our proven protocols ensure these are temporary setbacks, not roadblocks.

The Back-Fill Protocol: A Time-Tested Recovery Mechanism

Our proprietary Back-Fill Protocol is the cornerstone of our ability to trade crude oil successfully. When a drawdown occurs, this protocol activates with precision, employing a disciplined strategy to restore ROI to baseline levels. Here’s how it works:

Selective Trading: The protocol halts all but the highest-probability trades, spacing executions to minimize exposure to market noise.
Broad Liquidity Targeting: Using our proprietary IDENT order flow system, it identifies optimal price points within broad liquidity ranges to maximize profitability.
Dynamic Range Adjustment: The protocol adapts to real-time market signals, such as order flow and volatility shifts, narrowing its focus when conditions demand.
Precision Execution: Trades are executed within tight ranges ensuring flexibility and reduced risk.

This approach has a 100% success rate in resolving drawdowns since we achieved stability 3 years ago, and typically back-fills within 2 to 6 weeks, as demonstrated across numerous market cycles. Without this protocol, we would not trade crude oil—it’s that critical. Its effectiveness allows us to confidently navigate the market’s volatility and deliver consistent results.

A New Era with the NQ Protocol Integration

We are thrilled to announce a significant evolution in our crude oil trading framework: the full integration of our Nasdaq (NQ) Protocol into our crude oil (CL) software. This strategic enhancement marks a major leap forward in risk management, designed to reduce the extremes that characterize crude oil trading. Here’s what this means for you:

Stable, Disciplined Trading: The NQ Protocol “pings” key pivot levels, executing trades only in normalized, stable market conditions. It avoids overextended positions and cuts losses quickly if a trade moves against us.
Reduced Volatility Impact: By sitting on the sidelines during chaotic market conditions, the NQ Protocol minimizes exposure to sudden shocks, bringing crude oil trading closer to the “relaxed nature” of Nasdaq trading.
Enhanced Resilience: This integration significantly reduces the potential for catastrophic drawdowns, making the trading experience smoother and less stressful.

The NQ Protocol is now the primary framework for our crude oil trading, with the Back-Fill Protocol serving as a robust recovery mechanism when needed. You’ll notice lower trade frequency, a focus on only the highest-probability setups, and a clear avoidance of overexposure. While crude oil will always carry inherent volatility, these advancements bring unprecedented stability to our approach.

What to Expect Moving Forward

As we move forward, you can expect a more consistent trading profile, with fewer wild swings and a focus on disciplined, high-probability trades. The recent drawdown, while within our risk parameters, has triggered the Back-Fill Protocol, which is already working to restore ROI. Based on historical performance, we anticipate recovery within 2 to 6 weeks, though timelines may vary depending on market conditions.

Looking ahead, the NQ Protocol integration will continue to enhance stability, making crude oil trading more resilient and aligned with the smoother experience of our Nasdaq strategies. For those who prefer less volatility, our Nasdaq protocol and upcoming stock basket offer stress-free alternatives. However, for clients with the capital and resilience to diversify into crude oil, our enhanced safeguards make it a compelling option with the potential for significant returns.

Our Commitment to Radical Transparency

At EPIC AI, we operate with radical transparency. Crude oil is the toughest market we trade, and we’ve always been upfront about its risks. Participation requires emotional resilience, capital, and an understanding that short-term losses are part of the journey. Our advanced protocols—Back-Fill and NQ—represent the most sophisticated safeguards we, or anyone, have ever offered for crude oil trading. If you’re not fully prepared for this market’s realities, we encourage you to explore our less volatile strategies. But for those ready to engage, you’re backed by a system designed to win in the toughest arena.

Why You Can Trust EPIC Agentic AI

Our software wasn’t built overnight. Nine years of rigorous development, testing, and refinement in the crucible of crude oil trading have produced a system that not only survives but thrives. The recent drawdown is a reminder of the market’s challenges, but it’s also a testament to our ability to respond with precision and discipline. With the Back-Fill Protocol actively working to recover losses and the NQ Protocol reducing future volatility, we are better positioned than ever to deliver long-term value.

We remain committed to keeping you informed, protected, and empowered. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your account strategy, please reach out to our team. Together, we’ll continue to navigate the markets with confidence and clarity.
