Dec 15, 2025 Loss $99
Today is Monday, December 15, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap—the show where we dissect every major market move and break down every single trade executed by our algorithmic trading system.
So, let’s not waste another second and jump right into the action!
Market News & Landscape
It was a very light day on the macroeconomic front. With no blockbuster data or Fed speeches, the stage was set for a technically driven, range-bound market. The main events were:
At 8:30 AM : New York Empire State Manufacturing Index.
At 10:00 AM : NAHB Housing Market Index.
At 11:30 AM : 3 & 6-Month Treasury Bill Auctions.
With no major tech earnings on the docket after the bell, traders’ focus narrowed purely to price action and momentum, which often leads to the kind of whippy, reactive moves we saw today.
Overnight Session (Sunday/Monday Open)
The week began with an immediate test of sentiment. Right out of the gate, Nasdaq futures jumped higher on optimistic overnight flows. Our algorithm, reading that initial buy-side momentum, entered a long position at the open.
However, the optimism was short-lived. The market quickly reversed, trapping early bulls. Our system exited the long for a loss of 136 and, identifying the shift in momentum, flipped to a short position. That trade, too, was soon stopped out as the market reversed again upward.
These two rapid-fire losing swings costed us 198 dollars — a frustrating and volatile start to the week.
As Asian markets came online, liquidity increased and the Nasdaq found a firmer bid, pushing higher. Our next long position capitalized on this steadier move, closing for a profit of 120 dollars. This cut our net realized loss down to a more palatable 73 dollars.
Morning Session (European & US Open)
The tempo picked up decisively with the London open. European money provided solid support, creating a firm floor. At 4:00 AM , our system identified a clean breakout from this consolidation and entered a long position. This trade ran perfectly, capturing the entire morning up-move and closing for a solid profit.
That win shrunk our day’s realized loss to just 44 dollars. We were clawing our way back.
The 8:30 AM NY Empire manufacturing index out, minus 3.9, previous 18.7, significantly drop, however, it causes barely a ripple. The real action came with the US Cash Open at 9:30 AM. Volatility spiked, and the market dropped sharply.
A notable rally in silver (often a risk-off indicator) and simultaneous weakness in Bitcoin seemed to drag risk sentiment—and the Nasdaq —lower.
Our robot, aligned with this new downtrend, executed a precise short trade that ran beautifully, closing for a substantial profit of 500 dollars.
At 10:00 Am housing market index was 39, higher than the previous 38. Market continued to drop
Just like that, we were deep in the green, with our realized profit surging to 424 dollars.
Afternoon Session & Close
If the morning was about trend, the afternoon was about chaotic chop. The market lost direction, churning in a volatile range. Our system made a couple of losing swings as false breakouts failed, denting our gains. Our profit eroded to 243 dollars.
Later, two more quick, losing trades cost us 300, brutally flipping our P&L back into the red. Our realized loss now stood at 45 dollars.
In the final hour before the closing bell, another losing trade hit us, bringing our final realized loss for the day to 99 dollars.
After-Hours Session
Post-close, the quiet macro theme continued, with no major earnings to stir the pot. The session ended as a period of consolidation, allowing us to tally the day’s results.
Summary & Key Takeaways
So, let’s recap this rollercoaster:
Market Driver: A technical, news-light day ultimately swayed by weak risk sentiment, highlighted by silver strength and crypto weakness.
System Performance: Our algorithm navigated extreme volatility, executing roughly 10 trades. It captured one major trending move but was challenged by afternoon chop.
Final Result: We ended the day with a net loss of 99 trading one contract of the E-Micro Nasdaq futures.
Dec 12, 2025 Profit $201
Today is December 12, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap — the show where we break down every major move and every single trade our algorithmic system executed throughout the session.
So, let’s not waste another second and jump right into the action!
Market News & Landscape
It was a very light day on the macroeconomic front, which often leads to a technical, range-bound market.
The only scheduled catalyst was a speech from Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee at 10:35 AM.
No major tech earnings were slated for after the closing bell, leaving traders to focus purely on price action and momentum.
Overnight Session (Sunday/Monday Open)
The week began with an immediate test of sentiment.
Right out of the gate, the Nasdaq futures market dipped sharply. Our robot, reading the initial sell-side momentum, entered a short position at the open. This was a classic “fade the re-open” play, and it was closed shortly after for a conservative, early profit.
The remainder of the overnight session was quiet and orderly. As Asian markets came online, price action was muted, with the Nasdaq hovering in a tight range around the 25,600 level, signaling a clear lack of direction.
Morning Session (European & US Open)
The tempo picked up with the London open.
The European session provided some initial support, holding the market firm. However, right at 4:00 AM, we saw another wave of selling pressure. Our system identified the breakdown and entered another short position. This trade ran perfectly, capturing the down-move and closing for a profit around 7:00 AM. Our realized profit for the day now stood at 171 dollars.
At 8:30 AM, with no major economic data to disrupt the flow, the market was churning, still searching for direction. Our robot capitalized on the indecision with a lightning-fast scalping short trade, adding a few more dollars to the tally.
The 9:30 AM US Cash Open brought the expected volatility.
The market fluctuated as the broader cash market digested the week’s flows. Notably, the AI megacap segment was under pressure, with Nvidia briefly touching a low of 175.21. This weakness dragged the Nasdaq futures lower, and our robot, aligning with the prevailing trend, executed another short trade that was promptly closed for a profit.
Afternoon Session & Close
As is often the case on a Friday, the afternoon saw energy drain from the market.
It was a typical pre-weekend drift — liquidity thinned out, and price action became quiet and range-bound.
However, into the final hour and closing bell, we got one last dip. Our system was alert, making a couple of precise scalping trades that locked in a net 197 dollars in profit from this late move. It immediately followed up with one final short entry, bringing the day’s total realized profit to a clean 201 dollars.
After-Hours Session
The quiet theme continued post-close, with no earnings reports to stir the pot. That wrapped up a very active and successful trading week for our system.
Summary & Weekly Wrap-Up
So, to summarize:
Today was a quiet, technically-driven Friday. Trading was thin as most participants were winding down for the weekend.
In these conditions, our robot focused on high-probability, momentum-based setups, securing a net profit of 201 dollars for the session.
And for the weekly performance?
Total Realized Profit for the Week: 2,029 dollars.
A fantastic result, especially considering it was a Fed week packed with volatility and major economic events. Our system navigated the noise with discipline.
A huge thank you for tuning in to today’s recap!
You all have an amazing and relaxing weekend. Recharge, because we’ll be back at it on Monday.
Dec 11, 2025 Profit $1,276
Today is Thursday, December 11, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap — the show where we don’t just watch the market, we deconstruct it. We’ll break down every major move and, most importantly, every trade our automated system executed to navigate this volatile Fed day.
So, let’s not waste another second and jump right into the action.
Market Pulse: A Day in Focus
we had a steady drip of economic catalysts throughout the day starting at 8:30 AM: Continuing Jobless Claims, Export Data, Initial Jobless Claims, and the Trade Balance. Notably, the tech earnings calendar was quiet after the close, keeping all eyes on macroeconomics.
Session-by-Session Breakdown
Overnight Session: The Strategic Dip
As the globex market re-opened, the Nasdaq futures dipped sharply. Our robot, reading the momentum, entered a strategic short position. The market continued to drift lower, finding a tentative floor around the 25,400 zone. Just as selling pressure eased, our bot covered the short, banking a solid 578 dollars profit.
A shift came with the Asian market open. Buyers stepped in, forming a base and pushing price upward. Sensing the change in character, our system entered a long position to catch the emerging wave.
Morning Session: Riding the Rollercoaster
The European open provided firm support, and the Nasdaq edged higher. Our robot exited the long position at around 6:00 AM for a 400 dollars gain, bringing our realized profit to 978 dollars.
Then, the 8:30 AM data dump hit:
Trade Balance: minus 52.8B (a significant improvement from minus 59.3B).
Continuing Jobless Claims: 1.838 Million (a slight decrease).
Initial Jobless Claims: 236 K (a noticeable jump from 192 K).
The mixed-to-soft jobs data caused a swift market dip.
our robot entered a couple of short trades
The 9:30 AM US Open saw that dip accelerate. Our robot entered a new short position. However, the market quickly found a bid, reversing sharply to the upside—a classic whipsaw. Our system swiftly cut the short position to minimize friction. As the market stabilized and edged higher post-reversal, the bot entered a new long position near 11:00 AM.
The Afternoon Session: Edging higher
in the afternoon, market continued to climb up.
at 2:30 PM,
Our robot closed the long position, securing a 300 dollars profit.
This brought our total realized profit for the day to 1,276 dollars.
After Hours
With no major tech earnings to sway the market, attention remained on digesting the Fed’s decision, closing the book on a remarkably volatile trading day.
Today’s Summary & Trades
Today was a quintessential day after the Fed action yesterday. The market expressed its uncertainty through huge down and up swings. Our automated trading system was engineered for exactly this environment, and it managed to capture momentum on both sides of the market, riding most of the major waves.
The final result? A very productive 1,276 dollars in realized profit trading just one contract of the E-Micro Nasdaq futures. It’s a testament to systematic execution in the face of event-driven chaos.
Dec 10, 2025 Profit $303
Today is Wednesday, December 10, 2025, and this is Your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap, the show where we dissect every major move and break down every single trade our automated system executed throughout the session.
Let’s jump straight into the action.
Market News & Catalysts
We had a steady stream of high-impact events driving the tape today:
At 8:30 AM: Unemployment Claims came in at 0.8%, slightly above the prior 0.7%.
At 2:00 PM: A major cluster of Fed releases: The Interest Rate Projection (steady at 3.4%), the FOMC Economic Projections, the official Policy Statement, and finally, the highly anticipated decision, a third consecutive 0.25% rate cut, bringing the target to 3.75%.
After the Close: A quiet evening on the earnings front, with no major tech reports.
Overnight Session (Pre-Market)
As the futures market reopened, the Nasdaq dipped slightly but held above our system’s short triggers. Trading remained quiet and range-bound, with price action drifting around the 25,600 level as investors clearly adopted a “wait-and-see” stance ahead of the Fed.
The first move came with the Asian market open: a dip that triggered our first short trade. However, the market quickly reversed course, and we exited that position for a loss of 44 dollars. A cautious start to the day.
Morning Session (European & US Open)
The European open provided some bullish momentum, prompting our system to enter a long position. Unfortunately, this optimism faded around 4:30 AM, and we were stopped out for another loss. The system then entered a new short position.
Our realized loss at this point grew to 117 dollars.
The discipline paid off quickly, however. That short position was closed for a profit at 5:00 AM, trimming our total realized loss down to 79 dollars.
The 8:30 AM unemployment data caused barely a ripple in the market.
At the 9:30 AM US cash open, the market began to slip. Our active long position was underwater, showing an unrealized loss of 68 dollars. By 10:00 AM, as the sell-off deepened, that unrealized loss widened to 203 dollars. It was a tense morning.
Afternoon Session & The Fed Decision
The afternoon marked the decisive turn. The market began a steady recovery, setting the stage for the main event.
At 2:00 PM, the data deluge began:
1. The Fed Budget Balance showed a significant improvement.
2. The key Interest Rate Projection held steady.
3. Then, the headline: the FOMC announced a 0.25% rate cut.
The initial market reaction was classic “sell the news”: a sharp dip. But within minutes, the bulls took full control, launching a powerful reversal rally.
By the closing bell, our patient long position was finally closed, securing a substantial profit of 500 dollars. This single trade didn’t just erase our earlier losses, it put us firmly in the green.
After Hours
The session closed with no significant tech earnings, wrapping up a volatile but ultimately successful Fed day.
Summary
Today was all about the Fed’s third consecutive rate cut. We saw the classic volatility: an initial dip on the announcement followed by a powerful bullish reversal.
Our system navigated the morning’s chop, managing losses, but its key achievement was capturing the dominant afternoon trend move. The 500 dollars profit from the long position overwhelmed our earlier drawdown, resulting in a net gain for the day of 303 dollars.
A very solid result on a major news day.
Dec 9, 2025 Profit $44
It’s Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap—where we dissect every twist, turn, and trade our automated system executed throughout the session.
So, let’s not waste any time and jump straight into the action.
Market Pulse: The Calm Before The Storm
The economic calendar was light today, but the mood was heavy with anticipation. Markets are in a clear holding pattern, waiting for the Federal Reserve’s policy decision tomorrow. Yesterday’s pullback in communication and consumer stocks set a cautious tone, and that sentiment carried into today’s trade. With no major tech earnings on tap after the close, all eyes are fixed squarely on the Fed.
Session-by-Session Breakdown
Overnight Session: Drifting on Low Volume
As the futures market reopened, trading was thin and orderly. The Nasdaq futures gently drifted around the 25,600 level, showing almost no reaction to the Asian market open. It was the textbook definition of a market holding its breath, with investors keeping risk exposure to a minimum.
Morning Session: A Rollercoaster Before the Bell
The European open brought a bit of firmness, but the real action started at 5:30 AM.
A sudden downdraft prompted our robot to initiate a short position.
However, buyers quickly stepped in, reversing the move. Our system swiftly adapted, closing that short for a loss and flipping to a long position.
Then, at 8:30 AM, another wave of selling hit. Our long position was stopped out, and the system re-entered short. After this volatile two-step, our realized losses stood at 69 dollars.
The 9:30 AM US Open: Pressure & Reversal
The cash market open saw initial pressure, particularly on some mega-cap tech names, pushing the Nasdaq down. Our robot was holding that short. But true to recent form, the dip was bought, the market reversed sharply upward. Our system captured the pivot, covering the short and establishing a new long position.
By 11:15 AM, the story had two parts: realized losses mounted to 99 dollars, but our new long position was showing a promising unrealized gain of 153 dollars.
Afternoon Session: The Waiting Game
The excitement faded into a quiet afternoon grind. With the Fed looming, the Nasdaq futures entered a tight range, hovering listlessly around the 25,700 zone. Our robot held its long position, riding the sideways action.
Today’s Trading Results
At the closing bell, the final numbers came in. Despite the morning whipsaw, our robot’s adjustments in the later sessions locked in gains. Total realized P&L for the day finished positively at 44 dollars.
Closing Insight
Today was a classic case of “Fed Watch.” In an environment defined by caution and low volatility, the primary goal is often capital preservation. Navigating that choppy, directionless action is a challenge, and our system managed to eke out a small but meaningful profit amidst the uncertainty.

where we don’t just watch the markets, we dissect them. I’ll be breaking down every twist, turn, and trade our algorithmic robot executed throughout the session.
So, let’s jump straight into the action!
Market News & Catalysts
A steady drip of economic data set the stage today:
At 11:00 AM, we got the NY Fed’s 1 Year Inflation Expectations, holding steady.
at 11:30 AM ET brought a wave of Treasury action with 3 & 6-Month Bill Auctions, followed by a 3-Year Note Auction.
After the close, the earnings calendar was quiet, with no major tech names reporting.
Overnight Session (Sunday/Monday)
As the globex session reopened, the Nasdaq futures market saw an immediate gap higher. Our robot, reading the momentum, seized a long position right out of the gate.
However, the optimism was muted. Trading remained quiet and orderly, with the Nasdaq drifting listlessly around the 26,500 level. Investors clearly had one eye on the looming Fed meeting later in the week, keeping risk light. The Asian market open failed to provide any directional fuel, leaving price action in a tight range.
Morning Session (Pre-Market)
The European open provided some firmness, but the calm shattered at 8:30 AM ET. A wave of selling hit heavyweight tech names: NVIDIA, Palantir, and AMD were all under significant pressure, sparking concerns over valuations ahead of potential Fed policy shifts.
The Nasdaq dipped, then slid deeper. Our robot, detecting the shift in momentum, exited its long and flipped to a short position. This move proved prescient. By the time we approached the US cash open, the robot was sitting on a strong 197 dollars in unrealized profit.
The 9:30 AM US Cash Open
At the opening bell, we saw a characteristic dead-cat bounce. Buyers stepped in briefly, but the rally quickly lost steam. Our robot, adhering to its disciplined exit rules, closed the short position for a solid 100 dollars profit.
Seeing momentary strength, it then entered a long position. But the market had other ideas. The bounce reversed almost immediately. Without hesitation, the robot cut the long for a small loss and re-entered a short, demonstrating its agile, reactionary strategy.
At 11:00 AM, Inflation Data Drop
The key data point of the morning landed: NY Fed 1-Year Inflation Expectations came in unchanged at 3.2%. The market’s reaction? A collective shrug, volatility actually dipped post-release. In this quiet spell, our robot closed its short position, locking the session’s realized profit at 159 dollars.
Late Morning Scalp
Just before noon, another subtle dip emerged. Our robot, ever-alert, jumped into a swift short-term trade, held it for just ten minutes, and exited cleanly, boosting our realized total to 177 dollars.
Afternoon Session & Power Close
The afternoon turned highly volatile, with prices churning in a wider range. Then, in the final hour, a narrative shift: buyers stepped in with conviction, engineering a sharp reversal to the upside. Our robot caught a piece of this move with a precision scalping trade, navigating the volatility to secure final profits.
Session Wrap-Up
When the closing bell rang, our robotic trader had netted a total profit of 205 dollars. A very solid result on a tricky, news-sensitive Tuesday.
After-Hours Glance
Post-close, no tech earnings release, leaving the broader index narrative unchanged for tomorrow’s open.
Summary & Sign-Off
To recap: A volatile session driven by pre-Fed jitters and weakness in mega-cap tech. Selling pressure dominated most of the day, until a late-afternoon buying surge reversed the tide.
Through it all, our trading robot navigated the chaos with discipline, executing multiple long and short positions to secure a 205 dollars net profit

Before noon, the market dipped again. The robot jumped into a short, closed it ten minutes later, and pushed realized profit to 557 dollars.
Afternoon Session

At 3:30 PM, consumer credit came in at 9.18 Billion, down from 11.01 Billion previously. By the closing bell, our robot wrapped up the day with a 560 dollars net profit,
a solid result for a low-volume Friday.
After Hours
Oracle and Adobe reported earnings, but the impact on Nasdaq futures was minimal.
Summary

Initial Jobless Claims: 191 K, sharply lower than last week’s 218 K, Continuing Claims: 1.939 Millions, slightly below the prior 1.943 Millions. A stronger labor market usually means the Fed stays hawkish,

At 8:15 AM: ADP payroll came in at –32 K, a sharp drop from the previous 42 K，Market dipped immediately
at 8:30 AM: Export Price Index came in flat. The market sold off hard. Our long position was stopped out for a 124 dollars loss. The algorithm instantly flipped and entered a short position

At 9:15 AM: Industrial Production came in at 1.62%, up from 0.9%. The selling finally cooled off; the bleeding stopped
The 9:30 AM US Open

A quiet close to a very two-sided trading day.
Summary
Today was a true swing day. The market dipped hard early in the session, led by Microsoft’s slide, but recovered through late morning as stronger economic data rolled in.

Dec 2, 2025 Loss $76
Today is Tuesday, December 2, 2025, and this is your Daily Nasdaq Futures Recap, the show where we break down every move, every catalyst, and of course, every single trade our algorithm fired off throughout the session.
Let’s jump right into it!
Market News
We had a steady stream of catalysts today.
At 10:00 AM, Construction Spending numbers hit the wire, followed by comments from FOMC member Bowman.
Then at 10:10 AM, we got the latest IBD Economic Optimism reading.
And after the close, CrowdStrike reported earnings, adding a little extra noise to the after-hours tape.
Overnight Session
Overnight trading was quiet, with the Nasdaq drifting lower as investors continued to show frustration and hesitation. Our algorithm opened the session with a short position right off the bat.
But as the Asian markets came online, momentum shifted slightly to the upside. That upward pressure forced our short to close out for a loss.
Morning Session
As Europe opened, sentiment improved. The Nasdaq began recovering from the overnight lows. Our robot closed the remaining short for a small loss and immediately flipped long.
But at 8:30 AM, the market dipped on incoming data. That pullback triggered our long to close for a profit, not only covering most of the earlier loss but tightening our realized drawdown to just 44 dollars.
The 9:30 AM US Open
At the opening bell, the market edged higher. Tech stocks bounced, and Bitcoin reclaimed 89,000 dollars, adding a bit of tailwind to risk assets. Our robot capitalized on the early volatility with a quick trade, reducing realized losses further to 35 dollars.
At 10:00 AM, Construction Spending numbers were released. The market dipped briefly but recovered almost immediately.
Then at 10:10 AM, the IBD Economic Optimism Index came in at 47.9, up from 43.9 previously, but despite the improvement, the market dipped again. Our algorithm seized the opportunity for a clean scalp, bringing realized losses down to just 18 dollars.
Afternoon Session
Through the afternoon, momentum faded. The Nasdaq gradually lost steam, trading in a choppy range. Right before the closing bell, our robot fired off two quick scalping trades, one loss, one win, ultimately pushing our total realized loss to 76 dollars for the day.
After Hours
