STRATEGY UPDATE | JULY 30, 2026
Open Range 2026 Reaches New Equity Peaks as the Stock Index Portfolio 18 Gains $12,965
Strong long signals across the E-mini Nasdaq helped produce a new hypothetical equity peak for Open Range 2026 and a substantial positive session for the 18-system stock-index portfolio.
OPEN RANGE 2026
New Hypothetical Equity Peaks
The stock indexes rebounded strongly during the July 30 session, with several systems generating profitable long trades. One of the day’s most important developments was a winning long trade from Open Range 2026, which pushed the strategy to new hypothetical equity peaks.
Open Range 2026 continues to be one of my preferred Nasdaq strategies because it focuses on defined intraday price expansion rather than attempting to predict every market movement. The strategy is designed to remain selective, accept normal losing periods, and participate when a meaningful directional move develops.

STOCK INDEX PORTFOLIO 18
+$12,965 Hypothetical Result
The Stock Index Portfolio 18 generated a hypothetical gain of $12,965 for the July 30 session.
The portfolio combines 18 independently developed stock-index trading systems. Rather than depending on a single entry model or market condition, the portfolio seeks to diversify across multiple intraday setups, time periods, and trading concepts.
During a strong directional session, several systems can align with the same broad move while still entering and managing trades independently. The July 30 results demonstrate how that multi-system structure can participate when favorable opportunities develop across the Nasdaq market.
