The amount of energy on gap down buy signals has been intense lately. The market continues to fight back to the middle of the range with an upside bias. This is the 3rd day in a row where the market traded to the same closing levels before pulling back. There was a stealth drift higher from 4pm - 5pm EST.
The 5 MNQ signals for V-Reversal NQ and Zig Zag 2023 NQ are show below as some of the highlights.


The overnight strategies which were so strong in Q4, holding the portfolio together, have been weighing it down so far this month. We know how markets as well as their patterns move in cycles.
Today's energy looked like there was enough for a running start to break through some overhead resistance. CPI created a flash move lower in the pre-market since it was "hotter than expected. We had anticipated higher prices in the indexes overnight.
We continue to see these instant slam/stop runs, followed by recoveries for continued range bound trading on the daily chart. The follow through/chase/FOMO trade is the type of trade that we have not seen in a while and is "due for cycle".
PPI is tomorrow. It is hard to believe that the market would repeat today's pattern, tomorrow. Either PPI will disappoint, and the market will "skip" the inevitable sell off/rally back and just rally, or numbers will be in line with expected. It depends on the magnitude of the difference in the readings for what is expected versus the actual numbers. If inflation causes a recession can the Fed cut rates if higher rates are the cure for inflation?
The One Million MNS was down -0.08% today while the 250K Portfolio was down -$200 in live trading. The overnight strategies took some hits in the pre-market while the V-Reversal and Zig Zig captured some nice trades during the day session. This portfolio is positioned to capture the turning point and is working for a bounce back trading the One Million MNS 35 (minus the two Gold strategies), trading only NQ and Bitcoin since that gives us the best setup for a runup of nearly 3% or more.
The hypothetical results for the portfolios were:
Stock Index Portfolio 24 = -$8,137.50 per E-mini and 1/10th per Micro
Top 50 Select = -$3,687.50
50K Portfolio = $2,762.50
Two System NQ Portfolio = +$1,975.00
Five System NQ Portfolio = +$1,975.00
I am still working on sending out Zig Zag 2023 to all portfolio subscribers.
I also found some promising research on the Portfolio Money Management Algorithm setup for the latest NQ strategies that trade a balance of trend and counter trend strategies. When I dial in the Portfolio Money Management Algorithm setups, it can be one of my favorite ways to trade.
I am working on the verification process for the latest setup.
