Trading System Signals on 09-15-2025

Today was the 9th day in a row for the Nasdaq 100 futures opened greater than its previous day session close. It is also 10 for 11 on "up opens" in September with only one day this month gapping down. September is a seasonally weak month. Interestingly, the VIX also moved higher today and closed at 15.69, a level that is typically low. The intra-day chart pattern though shows a decisive move higher while the S&P and Nasdaq closed at all-time highs.

FOMC is Wednesday and the market has the rate cut probability at 100%. At the same time the Fed has only cut rates once when CPI is 2.9%. A surprise outcome on Wednesday would be interesting.

Hypothetical Portfolio Signal Results:

Two System Portfolio NQ = +$140 (Gap Continuation)

Stock Index Portfolio 18 = +$3,570

Stock Index Portfolio 37 = +$5,435

Diversified Portfolio 57 = +$8,550

NQ OT E-mini Nasdaq is a simple strategy that has worked well since March 2022 and captured 90+ points in the E-mini Nasdaq it today's session.

Silver futures were also a highlight in the Diversified 57 capturing +$4,425 on 3 different long-short signals from 7 different trading systems. Right now the day trade range is very small in the stock indexes. I anticipate it will pick up at some point. Today was still a nice day for the Stock Index Portfolio 18 and 37 capturing long "drift higher" day trades. Silver is the market that could be traded to add more price action to a trading portfolio. The Silver strategies below are part of the Diversified 57 and Silver Portfolio 16.

I turned Proteus I, II, and III on today after the market opened and saw a small gain in the composite.
