Trading System Signals on 07/15/2025

The 30 Year Bond moved above 5% today with a gradual increase in inflation based on the pre-market CPI. PPI numbers as well as Industrial Production are released tomorrow. You have to wonder at what rate the 30 Year Bond would have to climb to before it started to affect the Nasdaq 100. It certainly affected the Dow and Russell 2000 today but NVDA surged. By the 3:15 pm CST close the Nasdaq futures were slightly down on the day and the VIX was slightly up.

Stealth Key Reversal day with PPI tomorrow?

The highlight of the day was V-Reversal E-mini Nasdaq. It took all day and it "felt" like the market would rally to stop us out - but we let the system do its work.

To make the production of my daily reports quicker, I can publish the Stock Index Portfolio 18 and Two System Portfolio right after the market closes.

The hypotheticals for 07/15/2025 are:

Stock Index Portfolio 18 = -$3,365 per E-mini

Two System Portfolio = +$1,975 per E-mini

The rally from the April 9 lows is one of the fastest, largest and with the smallest drawdowns. I anticipate that there is more activity in the next two weeks than the listless "dead" narrow market we have seen the last six days. We tend to see bull markets get carried away on consecutive streaks and overly narrow ranges at times. Tomorrow, we move into the second half of the month which has been better for the portfolios. I am looking forward to the second half of July!

The Stock Index Portfolio 18 is in about a 25K out of 36K drawdown per E-mini and is in a drawdown entry alert. We prefer to start or add contracts during drawdowns.

I have been running my Portfolio Calculator later in the day when all the futures close. It is a lengthy process but gives all the data for all the portfolios. It takes me longer to publish the reports if I publish it for all portfolios. Simply posting the results for these two portfolios will allow me to publish the results quicker. Contact Us if you have any questions or comments or suggestions on the daily report.

Ive spent an incredible amount of time trying to find faster ways to test and build portfolios and apply ML and AI. Some of this involves Python, Docker, and AWS. For example, if I run a backtest or optimization that would take 24 hours on a local PC using Tradestation or Multicharts Portfolio Trader, it is possible to run that same report in only one minute on AWS with parallel processors and batch computing for strategies that have been converted to Python (which is not easy!). It takes a while to set this up but I look forward to streamlining the process.
