Today is Friday, October 31, 2025,
and this is your daily Nasdaq futures recap.
After a choppy week driven by earnings and the Fed’s rate decision, the Nasdaq closed slightly lower today, wrapping up the month with mild profit-taking. Traders seemed cautious heading into the weekend
after a big run earlier in the week.
Market News
At 9:30 AM, Fed member Logan spoke, followed by FOMC member Bostic at noon.
At 9:45 AM, the Chicago PMI came in stronger than expected, showing 43.8 versus the prior 40.6,
signaling a modest pickup in Midwest business activity.
Overnight Session
Overnight momentum carried over from the strong after-hours earnings of Apple and Amazon.
But when the Asian markets opened, volatility spiked. Our long position was closed, and a short was opened, which we later closed around midnight.
Morning Session
At 7:00 AM, our robot went long again. By 8:00 AM, momentum picked up, and the market edged higher,
our position was showing over 100 dollars in unrealized gain.
But at 8:30 AM, Nasdaq turned lower. When US markets opened at 9:30 AM, the dip accelerated, stopping out our long for a loss. Even though the Chicago PMI showed improvement, buyers stayed cautious.
As Google and Apple continued to slide, our robot switched to a short position, which later closed in profit.
Around 10:30 AM, once European markets wrapped up, the Nasdaq began to rebound.
Our short flipped to a long, and that position showed over 120 dollars in unrealized gain
as prices climbed.
Overall, it was a steady, quiet Friday morning. Nasdaq hovered near 26,150.
Before noon, our robot made a few quick scalping trades, ending the morning with 147 dollars in realized profit.
Afternoon Session
At 12:00 PM, markets dipped again. Our short position was showing 103 dollars unrealized gain,
pushing realized profit to 190 dollars.
At 3:00 PM, our robot reversed back into a long position, and before the close, that trade was closed in profit.
By the end of the session, we had 340 dollars realized profit, plus 192 dollars from AMD trading,
bringing the total gain to 532 dollars for the day.
After Hours
After the bell, no major earnings or news hit the tape. The market stayed quiet as traders wrapped up positions for the week and the month.
Summary
It was a calm Friday to end a volatile but profitable week. Our trading robot finished the week with 1,355 dollars in total gains four profitable days and one small loss on Wednesday, the day of the Fed rate cut decision.
The Nasdaq ended the day slightly lower, consolidating after strong tech earnings and a week of heavy moves.
