One of the hardest lessons in trading is learning to take profits. It's tough for two main reasons:

• You never know exactly when to sell.
• You’re unsure what or when to buy next with profits.

Similar Set Signal solves both problems at once. Here’s a look at recent signals and how they’re playing out:

Russell 2000 (IWM)

IWM is up 10% since the entry signal. It has completed two round trips from the low end to the top end of its RANGE (~3% each trip).

By holding a core position while selling some at the top of the RANGE and buying back at the low end, you could have captured ~16% in gains—versus just 10% from buy-and-hold.

Key takeaway: Keep a core position, but take some profits at RANGE highs, rotate into the next signal, and repeat. There’s always something else setting up.

VIX

Still locked in a bearish TRADE TREND with mathematical room to reach the lower end of its RANGE.

HYG

Bullish TREND bullish TRADE for now, but the top of the RANGE is starting to roll over while the low end hasn’t recovered. Credit still needs time to sort itself out.

QQQ

Nasdaq shows a similar fractal pattern, but it’s currently overrunning the bearish TRADE. It tested the TREND today and bounced right off it. Rule remains the same: If TREND breaks, exit everything—no bag holding.

QTUM

Buy at the green arrows, sell portions at the red.

QTUM is up 10% from the entry arrow and has made two full RANGE round trips. The first pullback was ~6%; the most recent tested TREND after a 10% move.

So without selling some at RANGE highs, a TREND failure would have turned that 10% gain into basically breakeven (~0.38% from entry). By taking partial profits, you effectively doubled the percentage points captured during the same price action.

Taking profits is only half the equation. Similar Set Signal also delivers clear entries—so you know exactly when to buy the TREND.

"Flashing entry signal"

You can’t go back and add the trade after it works. You have to recognize and act on it in real time.

NVDA

First bullish signal since November 18. TREND sits down at 182.77.

Sector Signal

ITB

Another clear example where selling portions doubled the profits available.

XLI

Always keep a core position when taking partial profits. Ride winners while playing the RANGE.

XLP

Industrials and Staples have gone nearly straight up since the last fractal buys. If you followed the signals, your experience has been very different from what’s being posted on X (crypto falling again).

Macro Markets

EEM

​Friday, February 6, 2026​

RANGE round trip complete. Core entry signal still ~13% lower. Buy when price reaches the RANGE and sits above bullish TRADE TREND—every time.

Diversify and execute.

DXY

Don’t chase. RANGE is making higher lows and holding bullish TRADE. Best entries come when DXY tests bearish TREND (which nailed the entire bearish transition starting in December).

AUSSIE

One of the strongest pairs since DXY flipped bearish. We’ve covered it the whole way.

YEN

Interesting to watch. The last major bullish TREND in YEN coincided with the Quad 4 crash of 2025. We just saw a Quad 4-moment on the first attempt at bullish TREND last week.

One signal isn’t truth, but combined with VIX, HYG, MOVE, and now YEN—it’s a macro setup worth monitoring. No narrative, just math.

30Y

At a key decision point. First real chance to break TREND since flipping bullish on December 5. A yield TREND flip would carry big macro implications.

Gold

Thrives on lower dollar + lower rates. You can’t rewind to January 30 and buy 7% lower at TREND—you act in real time. A rates breakdown would accelerate a move to RANGE highs or even new all-time highs.

Bitcoin

Still sucks. Still no fractal shorts and no longs until ~79K breaks.
