Trading System Signals for October 19, 2026
After 5 gap downs in a row from the previous day's close, the bulls went to work Sunday night, trying to generate a market reversal. The buying ran out of steam by noon EST and the market pulled back and has now moved lower pre-market for Tuesday's trade for what looks like another gap down.

Monday was a choppy-sloppy day with losses in the portfolios after Friday's big gains, that took several portfolios to equity peaks.
