Live Trading System Signals on 05/30/2025

The Wall Street bulls and the extreme liquidity continued to buy the dip all month and wanted to make sure the index returns for May stayed near their highs. All three sell offs today were mean reverted all the way back.



Markets don't trend all the time but they also don't mean revert all the time either. The last few weeks has seen extreme intra-day mean reversion (which has been beneficial for V-Reversal). Stock Indexes are also in the middle of last year's post-election channel. The low today in the Nasdaq 100 was about 100 points lower than the high on November 7, 2024.


After all the wild volatility and news cycle. The market hasn't really gone anywhere since the election. Jamie Dimon made some apocalyptic comments today about the Bond Market "cracking", generating a steep selloff that was completely recovered...more mean reversion.


Despite the disappointing Friday, the One Million MNS was up almost 4% on the week. The One Million was down today -1.65% while the 250K Portfolio was down -$4,250. We were profitable Tuesday - Thursday (Monday was a holiday). We scaled back today and lost about 1/2 as much as our full 3 lot. We are in a good position to start June.


All trades today were short trades as the market moved lower and then lost on the rally back. The Stock Index Portfolio 18 had one of its worse trading days. Some of the worse days are followed by some of the best days and visa versa.


We look forward to picking up trading again next week. The month of June starts next week. Sometimes the tone of the market can change on the month. It would be great to see more intra-day trends that persist and follow through on either the long or short side along with mean reversion patterns, instead of just mean reversion patterns intra-day.



V-Reversal did not trade today. We were one profit target trade away from going up on the month on V-Reversal. The lows today were more "rounded" than a sharp V-Reversal.


The hypothetical results for the portfolios are below.

Stock Index Portfolio 18 (1 NQ) = -$11,145.00

Stock Index Portfolio 18 (3 NQ) = -$33,435.00

50K Portfolio = -$415.00

EMINI NQ 2 System Portfolio = $0.00

EMINI NQ 3 System Portfolio II = -$100.00

EMINI NQ 4 System Portfolio = -$100.00

EMINI NQ 5 System Portfolio = -$1,750.00
