- McMillan Volatility Bands and momentum setups
- Put-sale and straddle candidate screens
- Confirmed and active bullish/bearish put-call ratio signals
Editorial / Portfolio Actions
The McMillan Portfolio Report
What the advisory is doing: McMillan's interpretation, explicit instructions and the complete position record.

- New trading recommendations or a clear stand-aside message
- Follow-up action for entries, exits, adjustments and stops
- Portfolio snapshot and cumulative P&L
- Current holdings grouped by strategy and position ID
The Distinction That Matters
Morning Signals Tell You What the Models See. The Portfolio Report Tells You What the Advisory Is Doing.
Morning Signals tables are opportunity sets, not automatic trade instructions. An actionable position recommendation is stated explicitly in the Portfolio Report or a subsequent subscriber update.
Designed for Active Traders
More Signal. Less Friction.

03

New recommendations and follow-up instructions are separated from systematic research output.
04
Track the Portfolio Clearly
Current holdings, multi-leg positions, strategy IDs and model P&L stay together in one report.
