The stock indexes were range bound today in one of the narrowest days we have seen in awhile. It was a choppy sideways market. The breakout was in the after-hours with NVDA news taking down the Nasdaq over 1% while NVDA dropped more than 5% after hours.
Gold is surging in the after hours. Will Silver "catch up". The 100:1 ratio of Gold price to Silver price is pretty rare. Sometimes these relationships can continue to make higher highs and become "unbounded" by their historical relationship. I don't recommend shorting gold and going long silver here on a spread trade. What I am interested in are some strategies that will take long trades in Silver.

The One Million MNS was down about -0.65% while the 250K was down -$1,625. We increased position sizing for Sibilance NQ v24 today to the E-minis.
The pre-market range was narrow so Automation Mode was ON. Today the Zig Zag Count and CVIX both dropped by the close to be favorable for tomorrow's trade but we will still take our volatility filter from the pre-market range and send notification. Even with the Nasdaq down 300 points, the one minute bar ranges have narrowed in the overnight session so far.
Volatility filtering based on the one minute bars in the pre-market is more "recent" than the previous day's CVIX or Zig Zag Count.
The hypothetical performance summary for the portfolios are listed below based on E-minis. Divide by 10 for approximate Micro results. Inclusive of $25 round turn slippage and commission.
