Live Trading System Signals on 04/22/2025

Before 5PM CST: The market was more orderly for the first 1.5 days this week while the churn returned to the market starting around 12:15 pm CST today. The market is looking for some bullish news and resolution on the trade war and FOMC Chair Jerome Powell. The bears have eased off and given the bulls the bid to run it up again on any perceived bullish news. The last time there was some sense of resolution the market surged (on 04/09/2025) and no one wants to be short when that happens. Based on this dynamic, it was surprising the bulls did not move the market back to the highs of the day by the close. At the end of the day, there was simply a 100% retracement to last weeks closing price, taking back yesterday's entire sell-off, before the market eased off and chopped around.


Updated after 5PM CST: News released while the futures were closed between 4pm - 5pm CST, (Trump has no intention on firing Jerome Powell), futures surged beyond the day session highs, the anticipated move during the day session.


We had many long positions during the day and gains were limited while the market chopped around while waiting on this news. Our end of day exits missed the surge higher in the after hours.


The One Million MNS was up +0.25% while the 250K Portfolio was up $625 in live trading while Sibilance NQ v24 hypothetical results were +$995 per Million (trading one E-mini Nasdaq).
