Trading System Signals on 10-31-2025

It was a turbulent second half of the week with FOMC and big tech earnings. The markets were more challenging this week. There have been times when we considered not trading on FOMC or not trading on FOMC week. Recent data shows that we should trade, but any given day or week could be a down day or week. The Fed did not re-assure the market that there would be a rate cut in December. There are so many reasons the market should have a healthy pullback, but the contrarian bid remains strong and determined and really chops up any attempt at a normal distribution day in the stock indexes. It is as if there is a human element that takes it personally.

Next week we start November. The government partial shutdown continues.
