Live Trading System Signals on 05/28/2025

Open Range NQ was the trade of the day. This is one of our best strategies with a low winning percent since it cuts losses quickly and rides the trend through the end of the day.


Open Range NQ trading 3 contracts.



The Nasdaq 100 futures traded in an 80 point range from 10 am EST until 2:50 pm EST, followed by wild stop running price action and a down close. The intra-day price action was unusual today. As we watch the stock indexes in the after hours, we continue see confirmation of our bullish bias in the trend. Strategies that trade in the overnight session are a consideration to capture these types of moves with algorithms we have previously used such as 60M Breakout NQ. This week is a lot like 2024, when more than 100% of the gains in the Nasdaq 100 were at night. We know NVDA surged on earnings but the stock indexes after hours surge was delayed. AAPL also surged in the after hours.


We get interesting and potentially market moving economic data the next two days at 8:30 am and 10:00 am EST for the last two trading days of May.


Trading the Stock Index Portfolio 18, the One Million MNS was up +0.4% on the day while the 250K Portfolio was up +$1,000. It was a good day considering the price action.



We did have some long trades that were stopped out on the first stop run, including a long V-Reversal trade, to get us net short and then took a drawdown as the market bounced 100+ points before rolling over again.


The hypothetical results for the portfolios are below.

Stock Index Portfolio 18 (1 NQ) = +$915.00

Stock Index Portfolio 18 (3 NQ) = +$2,745.00

50K Portfolio = -$2,065.00

EMINI NQ 2 System Portfolio = -$1,295.00

EMINI NQ 3 System Portfolio II = -$2,530.00

EMINI NQ 4 System Portfolio = -$2,530.00

EMINI NQ 5 System Portfolio = +$360.00
