Live Trading System Signals on 04/16/2025

Big move down overnight on NVDA news and then in the afternoon when Powell wasn't more accommodative to the bullish theme. The last 30 minutes of the day session and in the after hours, the indexes have put in a strong reversal. Its certainly the most mean reverting/reversal market environment that I have seen.


The One Million MNS was down -0.15% while the 250K Portfolio was down -$375 in live trading. It trade 1 E-mini per signal. Hypothetical results were -0.13%.


Tomorrow is the last day of the trading week since Friday is a holiday. We anticipate tomorrow to be like a Friday trade with three economic reports at 7:30 am CST. Any scenario is possible in the current market environment. In steady state bull markets, we have seen steady state rallies going into a holiday weekend. The VIX is at 32 on the Wednesday before a holiday and the uncertainty grows.


The hypothetical results for the portfolio, trading 1 E-mini per strategy with $25 round turn slippage and commission are below.
