Futures buy or short signals
When the past says buy or short each futures market. Every rule here is tested on that market's own history — buying only, shorting only and both ways — and counts only if it made money and beat simply holding in both halves of it. A read of the past, not advice.
Reading every market’s history — the first time takes up to a minute.
About Trade
Trade gives one read per futures market — Buy, Short or Wait — from daily rules tested on that market’s own past prices. A rule counts only if it made money and beat simply holding the market in both halves of its history, tested buying only, shorting only and both ways. The reason is shown in plain words next to each read.
Under the reads, the Today table shows how often the session closed higher from each time of day, given how far the market had already moved. The reads are worked out again after every session.
Markets: Nasdaq-100, S&P 500, Dow, Russell 2000, Gold, Crude oil, Natural gas, Silver, Copper, 10-year note, Euro, Yen and Bitcoin.
Questions
What does Wait mean?
No tested rule fires on that market today. Most days are like that — trading anyway is trading without a measured edge, so Wait is an answer too.
How are the futures rules tested?
Each rule is replayed on the market’s own daily history three ways — buying only, shorting only and both — and kept only if it made money and beat buying and holding in both the first and the second half of that history.
Is it free?
Yes. Trade needs no account. Turning a rule into phone alerts is a paid add-on on the Alerts tab.
Is this investment advice?
No. It is an educational read of past prices. Futures carry a substantial risk of loss, and a rule that held up in the past can stop working.
