Trading System Signals on 11-20-2025 - Big Shorts on the Day

Updated: 21 hours ago

It was one of the better days we have seen in a while, especially in the Stock Index strategies with some big short trades hitting singles, doubles, triples and partial home runs on the day. Momentum Reversal NQ was short near the highs and on target for the reversal today. The 300 point mid day bounce was a setup for two reversal longs that were stopped out, limiting a home run short into the close. The profit for that trade was the biggest winner on the day even though it gave back half its max open position gains.

Both Cobra III's captured shorts to hit profit targets along with MAG 7, VSD Divergence, VSD Trender, all taking some nice short trades.


The Turbulent Tug of War between the bulls and the bears continued. There was a massive move higher and gap up after NVDA earnings last night. Starting at 10:50 am EST we saw a massive reversal on the day with the Nasdaq trading in more than a 1,000 point range. The bulls had the Nasdaq 100 futures above 25,000 in the after hours yesterday. Today in the afterhours, they are trying to support 24,000.


V-Reversal was profitable again today with a short winner, exiting with the Accelerated Trailing Stop Loss on the first trade and then captured a long trade for the bounce mid day hitting its profit target taking the Two System Portfolio NQ positive on the month.
