Trading System Signals on 01-02-2026

Friday was a sloppy trading day with losses in most of the portfolios. Low VIX and holidays can create some smooth melt up trends or it can be sloppy. The mode of the market is unpredictable and we stick with our strategies. We traded through the sloppy price action last week. Mean reversion strategies such as V-Reversal in the Two System Portfolio NQ did well, hitting equity peaks on a closed trade basis.


This week is the first full week of 2026, with no holidays, and we could see some nice tone and trading opportunities come into the market. The Diversified 57 has had 3 challenging days in a row and we are due for a bounce as the portfolio sits near a worse case drawdown. The stop running and sloppy price action can be a part of a challenging cycle for some strategies while other counter trend and mean reversion strategies can take advantage of it.
