Trading System Signals on 03-09-2026

Notice how the Nasdaq 100 futures made it back to 25,000 once again. Even though the Nasdaq 100 futures took out the lows on the year in the session, it easily returned to a steady state price.

The market’s failure to experience a larger pullback amid the recent headline flow may be a sign of underlying strength, with any reduction in uncertainty potentially leading to a rapid 10% rally.

While the market should have steeper and longer pullbacks based on historical market patterns and free market dynamics, the end of day surge today reminds me of a Liberation Day move last April.

The stock indexes are not that far from all-time highs. You would think we would be down 10-15% from the all-time highs based on the headlines.

We follow our trading system signals while noticing the persistent bias to the long side. It's important not to insist that the market moves in the direction that you think it should.

The recent price action has been down at night and up during the day while in 2024 and 2025, we saw the opposite. Crude Oil has taken a page from the Gold and Silver playbook with a $38,000 dollar daily range today. Crude Oil has traded at these levels and the order book is still "orderly". We keep this market in the 50K Portfolio for now and will continue to monitor trading conditions.

The Seven System Portfolio hit an equity peak today after we issued a drawdown entry alert last Thursday. The 27 System Portfolio is about 1500 from equity peaks with a big day as well and the Two System Portfolio NQ had a double winner.
