Monday is the start of a favorable cycle in the Stock Index Portfolio 18.
Over the past year, the Stock Index Portfolio 18 has the tendency to have more profitable trading in the second half of the month. A more specific window that has worked 13 out of the last 13 months is starting with the first trading day that starts on the 21st (sometimes 21st will fall on the weekend so the calendar date is after the 21st) and trading through the second trading day of the following month, we see the following hypothetical results starting in June of 2024.
June 21, 2024 - July 2, 2024 = +$7,445
July 22, 2024 - August 2, 2024 = +$14,845
August 21, 2024 - September 4, 2024 = +$19,770
September 23, 2024 - October 2, 2024 = +$12,645
October 21, 2024 - November 4, 2024 = +$1,840
November 21, 2024 - December 3, 2024 = +$5,270
December 23, 2024 - January 3, 2025 = +$12,115
January 21, 2025 - February 4, 2025 = +$8,070
February 21, 2025 - March 4, 2025 = +$72,385
March 21, 2025 - April 2, 2025 = +$72,845
April 21, 2025 - May 2, 2025 = +$42,670
May 21, 2025 - June 3, 2025 = +$37,480
June 23, 2025 - July 2, 2025 = +$13,605
The Stock Index Portfolio 18 is in about a 23K out of 37K drawdown through Thursday July 17, 2025 so we are also at a drawdown entry alert. We prefer to start or add contracts after a drawdown or losing streak instead of at equity peaks.
