Silver Portfolio Extends Its Winning Streak

The Silver Portfolio continues to demonstrate strong momentum. Today it generated 13 trading system signals—12 of which are profitable, with 10 on the long side and 2 on the short side. This follows an impressive stretch last week where the portfolio reached new equity peaks on 8 out of 10 trading days. On Friday, it closed at an equity high, and today it is once again pressing into fresh intra-day peaks.

This kind of consistency underscores the value of market diversity within trading system portfolios. While the Silver Portfolio alone has been in a strong run, its impact extends beyond silver. Our Diversified Portfolio 57 includes 7 of the 16 Silver strategies, blending them alongside strategies in stock indexes, energies, currencies, and other markets. This cross-market approach helps smooth out performance by ensuring that when one market enters a “less tradeable” phase, other markets may step in to provide opportunity.

Another important factor for traders is contract size. Silver can be traded through Micro Silver contracts (SIL), which are one-fifth the size of the full contract. This makes it easier for traders with smaller accounts—or those wanting more precise position sizing—to participate in these strategies without taking on the full volatility of standard contracts.

Of course, timing entries into a portfolio is always a balance. I personally prefer to begin trading during a drawdown, because it provides a better entry point relative to historical performance. However, the risk in waiting is missing a strong runup like the one we’re witnessing now. The reality is that markets move in cycles, and portfolios can sometimes hit a sustained run where equity peaks build upon each other. The Silver Portfolio has been a clear example of that dynamic in recent sessions.
