Trading System Signals on 12-23-2025

The VIX continues to drop, making new lows on the year at 13.64, while equities act poised to go into rally mode when "no one is looking". Holidays and half trading days can sometimes generate melt-up price action. Tomorrow the market closes early and Thursday the market is closed for Christmas.


Our day trade strategies don't trade on holidays or half days so there will be no "day trading" for the next two days. Friday is a full trading day. Swing trade strategies can trade anytime the futures markets are open, including days when the futures close early or the stock market is closed but the futures are open. The Diversified 57 can take trades during holidays and half days. It is interesting to see March Silver trading in the 72 handle in the overnight session.


The Two System Portfolio NQ hit another equity peak again today and has been strong throughout December.


Hypothetical Trading System Portfolio Signals and Results:

Two System Portfolio NQ = +$1,975

50K Portfolio = +$1,558 on Micros, or +$1,193 when mapping Minis to Micros

Stock Index Portfolio 18 = +$760

Stock Index Portfolio 37 = +$527.50

Diversified Portfolio 57 = -$345

Silver Portfolio = -$6,125


The Portfolio Metrics has also been updated through today's trade and the Market Allocation, Trade Duration Allocation, and Entry Methodology Allocation have been added to the Portfolio Calculator section.

We will pick up the daily report again for Friday's trade!


Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays!
