Live Trading System Signals on 01/24/2025

The Nasdaq 100 Index ($NDX.X) posted an Outside Day today with a down close and some Key Reversal price action. I don't trade based on outside days or key reversals, but it is notable. The Nasdaq 100 has been rangebound on the daily chart the last three days. The Nasdaq ($COMPX) has also been in a three-day range. The S&P 500 touched all-time highs in a continued stealth move with overnight trends being the main reason the indexes have been up in 2024 and so far in 2025.


For 2025 so far, the Nasdaq 100 index is up 762 points on the year with 1,160 points at night while the day session is down -398. The S&P 500 index is up 220 points on the year with 230 points at night and the day session is -10 points on the year.


The highlight of the day was the V-Reversal NQ short. VSD NQ 2025 was down early in the session but captured the short trade at the end of the day to recover most of the losses in the overnight chop.



While the stealth bull market remains, we are seeing more success on intra-day shorts. This is an interesting dynamic, higher prices with increasingly steady shorts intra-day during the time period when there is more volume.


Next week there is an FOMC Meeting on Wednesday. During 4 out of the last 5 weeks, there has been at least one holiday. Next week, we have a five-day trading week, but FOMC is on Wednesday.


The One Million MNS 87 + 2 NQ ON + 3 MBT was around breakeven on the day while the 250K Portfolio was -$80 on the day in live trading.


The hypothetical results for the Stock Index Portfolio 24 was -$387.50 per E-mini while the Micros were about 1/10th.


The hypothetical results for the Top 50 Select Portfolio was -$550.00


The hypothetical results for the 50K Portfolio was +$662.50


At the close on Tuesday, Gold rolls to the June 2025 contract.


At the close on Wednesday, Bitcoin rolls to the February 2025 contract.


The Portfolio Calculator will be updated shortly.
