Reversal Strategy Bi-Weekly Performance Report (13 – 24 October 2025)

Reversal Strategy completed another two-week run in live market conditions from 13 October 2025 through 24 October 2025. The system finished the period with a net result of $3,805.00.

This wasn’t the strongest two-week stretch we’ve published recently. Volatility in indices created several deep red sessions, including two notable drawdown days. At the same time, Gold continued to be a major driver, and there were still multiple sessions of strong, controlled profit. In other words: it was a choppy period, not a perfect one — and the strategy still closed positive overall.


Headline Performance

Across the full window, the account produced a total PnL of $3,805.00. Results were split evenly, with 5 positive days and 5 negative days, showing how the system handled alternating push/pull conditions instead of a clean one-directional run.

The best day of the report was 2025-10-16, where the strategy posted $6,452.50 in realized profit. That session was driven by high-quality reversals in GC ($5,850.00) and NQ ($2,400.00), partially offset by smaller losses in CL and ES.

GC (Gold): +$7,510.00
Gold was the standout instrument. The system repeatedly caught exhaustion spikes and snap-backs, especially on 2025-10-16 where GC alone delivered $5,850.00. We also saw strong GC contributions on 2025-10-14 ($3,660.00) and 2025-10-22 ($2,760.00). Even after a -$2,070.00 GC result on 2025-10-24, gold still finished as the top-performing market for the period.

NQ (Nasdaq): +$2,095.00
NQ was the second-strongest contributor. It had multiple profitable reversal sequences: $1,270.00 on 2025-10-15, $2,400.00 on 2025-10-16, and continued to produce into the back half of the window with $1,810.00 on 2025-10-23 and $1,795.00 on 2025-10-24. There were losing NQ days in the first week (for example – $1,150.00 on 2025-10-13), but NQ ultimately closed green for the full report.

CL (Crude Oil): -$900.00
CL traded mixed. There were recovery days — $930.00 on 2025-10-22 and $520.00 on 2025-10-24 — but most early sessions in the period came in negative. CL posted – $560.00 on 2025-10-13, – $440.00 on 2025-10-14, and – $730.00 on 2025-10-23, which pulled the total below zero overall.

ES (E-Mini S&P 500): -$4,900.00
ES was the main drag this cycle. It never really stabilized into clean reversals during this period. ES printed repeated drawdowns, including – $1,500.00 on 2025-10-14, – $1,687.50 on 2025-10-16, – $1,662.50 on 2025-10-17, and – $1,375.00 on 2025-10-21. There were some positive spots — $1,125.00 on 2025-10-23 and $887.50 on 2025-10-22 — but not enough to offset the heavier red days. ES closed the period negative by – $4,900.00.


Daily Result Timeline

Here is the day-by-day net result for the strategy:

  • 2025-10-13: -$1,607.50
  • 2025-10-14: $710.00
  • 2025-10-15: $2,065.00
  • 2025-10-16: $6,452.50
  • 2025-10-17: -$5,737.50
  • 2025-10-20: -$705.00
  • 2025-10-21: -$4,990.00
  • 2025-10-22: $4,022.50
  • 2025-10-23: $3,425.00
  • 2025-10-24: $170.00

You can see the profile: strong acceleration on the 15th and 16th, an aggressive drawdown into the 17th and 21st, then a fast recovery on the 22nd and 23rd. The strategy ended the reporting window back in stable territory rather than underwater, which is critical from a longer-term risk perspective.


How This Fits the Strategy’s Model

Reversal Strategy is built to step into exhaustion points and take the other side of emotional order flow. It does not scalp for fixed ticks. It does not shut itself off when a target is hit. It does not run with a “daily stop and walk away” mentality. Instead, it operates continuously and does not impose hard limits on how large a win can be or how large a loss can be inside a valid signal. The controls sit at the trade logic level, not at the “I’m done for the day” level.

This is why you see a +$6,452.50 day followed by a -$5,737.50 day within the same week. The system is not trying to manufacture smoothness. It is trying to extract edge over time. When conditions align (high volatility direction change, liquidity sweep, momentum break), the strategy can generate outsized moves. When conditions break down (chop, fakeouts, continuation instead of reversal), you will see heavier red days. Over multiple reporting periods, the net effect matters more than any one session.


Conclusion

To summarize the 13–24 October 2025 period: Reversal Strategy closed at $3,805.00 net, led by GC (+$7,510.00) and NQ (+$2,095.00), partially offset by CL (-$900.00) and ES (-$4,900.00). The strategy posted five green days and five red days, with the largest win on 2025-10-16 and the heaviest downside on 2025-10-17.

It was not the cleanest two-week run compared to previous reports. But it was honest price action: fast rallies, fast reversals, and real risk. Most importantly, the strategy remained fully automated and consistent. No manual intervention, no discretionary overrides, no artificial limits. Just the logic running as designed — identify the turn, execute the trade, let it play out.
