Trading System Signals on 12-17-2025

I love the old Wall Street "sayings", "If Santa Claus fails to call, the Bears may come to Broad and Wall". The market expects a Santa Claus rally at this time of year. The last few years it always expects a rally though, so a contrarian move lower into the end of the year would be reasonable after the nearly continuous strength since mid-April in the stock indexes. Last year there was no Santa Claus rally and we know how Q1, 2025 ended.


Momentum Reversal NQ and Open Range NQ captured some pretty big moves on the short side to really boost the Stock Index Portfolio 18 today. The Diversified Portfolio 57 includes the Stock Index Portfolio 18 but Bitcoin price action was wild enough to create a sloppy market for a challenging day in crytpo currency futures.


Hypothetical Trading System Portfolio Signals and Results:

Two System Portfolio NQ = +$1,205

50K Portfolio = -$1,763.50 on Micros, or -$1,256.60 when mapping Minis to Micros

Stock Index Portfolio 18 = +$12,985

Stock Index Portfolio 37 = +$3,432.50

Diversified Portfolio 57 = +$632.50

Silver Portfolio = -$700
