Proteus II v3 continues to be our favorite setup in the Proteus series as we work through a long list of new research and strategy setups. This was the first week to trade the December 2025 stock index futures contracts with the rollover to the new contract this past Monday. Proteus II was the top performer in the March and June contracts based on Average Trade Profit. It is more selective than Proteus I and III and is a stand out this week.
Last week the market replay results for the Market Replay Hypotheticals were:
Total Net Profit = +$11,405
Percent Profitability = 82.76%
Average Trade Profit = $393.28
The net gains were all on the short side. This is important as we move into one of weakest seasonal time periods for the stock market. The market has been very insistent on being contrarian against obvious bearish signals amidst extreme valuations and overbought fundamental and technical values. The bullishness could continue next week, even during a period of seasonal weakness. We prefer to trade strategies that take both long and short trades. There are times when bear market rallies allow long day trade signals to work while bull markets can generate profitable short signals for day trades as we saw this week.
