Live Trading System Signals on 04/30/2025

The month closed with a big gap down, continuation, and massive reversal in the stock indexes. It is the type of trading you might expect on the last day of the month. The energy of the reversal and after-hours earnings reveals a lot of bullish energy and animal spirits with liquidity that could push the market to new highs in the next 1-2 months. There was quite a bit of bearish sentiment in the financial media today. A contrarian mindset would certainly be bullish here. I think many professional swing traders bought the dip and have taken profits expecting another downturn. If the market continues, they will be tempted to chase it.


V-Reversal broke its losing streak and had two winners today, both on the long side.


The real trend of the day did not get rolling until 3:40 pm EST. The Nasdaq 100 moved about 370 points between 3:40 pm EST and 4:40 pm EST. Its always obvious in hindsight but the market could have tanked into the close as well. The after-hours earnings generated some spastic price jumps back and forth in the futures before moving higher. The one-minute bar range at 4:01 pm EST was 127 points in the Nasdaq 100 futures.


The One Million MNS was up +0.55% while the 250K Portfolio was up +$1,375.00 trading Sibilance NQ, a 28 strategy E-mini Nasdaq portfolio of strategies managed with the Portfolio Money Management Algorithms to limit a max net position of 8 long or short.


The hypothetical results for the portfolios are below with $25 round turn slippage and commission are listed below. The micro results are approximately 1/10th.


The Online Web App Portfolio Calculator has also been updated through today. The drop downs at the top and Strategy Filters tab are new features and are "buggy" so don't rely on these.
