Stock Index Portfolio 18 Latest Trades and Bitcoin, Copper, Silver, Gold Setups

The Portfolio Calculator has just been refreshed with data through July 10, 2025—so be sure to check out our latest walkthrough, where we break down Stock Index Portfolio 18’s newest trades and performance in detail.

Beyond equity indexes, we’re always watching for “Markets in Play.” Last year I noticed the Cocoa Gap Continuation strategy go parabolic—but, given cocoa’s relatively low liquidity, it was one to observe rather than trade. By contrast, Bitcoin, copper, silver and gold all offer deep liquidity and clear breakout opportunities. In fact, our Bitcoin Breakout strategy is now hitting equity peaks and comfortably outperforming a simple buy-and-hold approach.

On the metals front, our Gold Wave strategy has recently cooled off and entered a drawdown. I’m monitoring for a potential trend resumption. Meanwhile, Copper Wave captured this week’s sharp rally in copper, and Silver Wave locked in today’s breakout. Admittedly, their long-term performance summaries don’t look spectacular—but when a market shifts from dormancy to hyper-activity, adapting a proven strategy from a similar instrument can be a powerful way to navigate a sudden regime change. (Cocoa’s explosive move is a perfect case in point.)

Commodities have languished even as asset prices and inflation climbed—and when inflationary pressures finally unwind, they often do so in a burst rather than a steady climb. By keeping an eye on markets as they awaken from slumber, and by leaning on strategies that thrive in analogous environments, we position ourselves to capture those inflection points rather than get left behind.
