Right at the 6:00 PM futures open, the Nasdaq jumped immediately, trying to claw back yesterday’s losses.
Our robot grabbed a long position right out of the gate. But as the Asian markets opened, momentum faded.

But right before midnight, the market turned back up. Our short closed for a solid 135-dollar profit, and the robot flipped long again.
