Three System Portfolio Special Offer

The Three System Portfolio is in one of our favorite portfolios. It is in a drawdown entry alert to start November's trade this coming Monday. The reason it is one of our favorite portfolios is based on the addition of the Open Range 2026 trading strategy to the Two System Portfolio.

Open Range 2026 NQ finished the month with 5 losers in a row (which is a drawdown entry alert for the strategy). We have seen this strategy generate 500 point gains on the long and short side in the E-mini Nasdaq. Gap Continuation also has the tendency to cut losses quickly and let profits run with the opportunity to capture extended moves.

Three System Portfolio NQ Combined Results of Three Trading Systems
After the recent sell off in the E-mini Nasdaq, we could see a massive bear market bounce. We don't always know why, if, or when, but we do know the technical setups that allow us to put on trades that limit risk with stop losses and let profits run in a market that is stretched. We could also see an acceleration in selling which happens on occasion, with opportunities to short the market in an extended trend lower.

The recent sell off has also created very sloppy intra-day sessions. I anticipate that after the mid-terms the market could generate some more substantial intra-day price action.

The Nasdaq bounced 300 points in the last hour on Friday. Anticipating a 500 point move where two strategies such as Open Range and Gap Continuation both capture the signal ($20K per unit in NQ) can make up for a lot of sloppy trading days.
