Live Trading System Signals on 12/11/2024

The CPI readings this morning generated a nice breakout in the stock indexes and a bid in the metals and Crude Oil which provided some favorable price action today.


The One Million MNS was up 2.87% on the day while the 250K Portfolio was up +$5,750 in live trading bring us back to the breakeven point on the month. The metals and crude oil had some nice trades in the commodities. Two of the Nasdaq strategies went long before CPI to capture the extent of the move.


The hypothetical results for the Stock Index Portfolio 18 were +$1,185 per E-mini and +$172 per Micro. The Micros were greater than 1/10th of the results for the E-mini since our SR CounterTrend Silver took a long trade today and the Micro Silver contract is 1/5th of a regular Silver futures contract instead of 1/10th.


The hypothetical results for the Top 50 Select were +$6,992.50. The overnight E-mini S&P strategies along with a long Crude swing trade and SR CounterTrends in the metals going 6 for 6 were the highlights in this portfolio setup.


The hypothetical results for the 50K Portfolio were +$4,990.00.


Whatever case we previously made for some bearish price action has been dismissed by the market in the short term, especially in tech and Mag 7. We are nimble enough in our trading to trade the long side when the price moves higher even if we anticipate bearish price action. Inflation remains sticky and the inflation readings are stubborn to drop to the Feds target rate. One thing to consider is that when consumer inflation exists, asset inflation will be even greater, especially if the Fed is easing. Equities could be an inflation protection in this environment until the Fed decides to tighten.
