Dec 3, 2025 Profit $195
Today is Wednesday, December 3, 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 on deck today:
At 8:15 AM: ADP Nonfarm Employment Change
At 8:30 AM: Export Price Index
At 9:15 AM: Industrial Production
At 9:45 AM: S&P Global Composite PMI, Global Services PMI
At 10:00 AM: Construction Spending, ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI, Total Vehicle Sales
After the close:
Hewlett Packard reported earnings, adding a bit of turbulence to the after-hours tape
Plenty for the market to digest.
Overnight Session
Overnight trading was calm and controlled, with the Nasdaq hovering around 26,500 as investors continued to show hesitation. Our algorithm opened the session with a long position right out of the gate, and as Asian markets came online, momentum shifted gently upward. The long position stayed green through the night
with consistent unrealized profit.
Morning Session
As Europe opened, things remained quiet. Our long position was still profitable, but the calm didn’t last.
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
By 9:00 AM, the slide continued. Big tech names like Microsoft were pushing lower pre-market, and even Bitcoin joined the downside pressure.
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
At the opening bell, the market stabilized. Our short position continued to shine, carrying over 228 dollars in unrealized profit.
Then at 10:00 AM, we got a cluster of stronger-than-expected economic data:
ISM Non-Manufacturing Employment: 48.9 (vs. 48.2 previous)
ISM Non-Manufacturing PMI: 52.6 (versus 52.4 previous)
Total Vehicle Sales: 15.6 million (versus 15.3 million previous)
Tesla ripped higher, breaking above 440, and the Nasdaq followed suit. Our algorithm closed the short position
and immediately shifted long. Before lunchtime, realized profit climbed to 169 dollars.
Afternoon Session
The afternoon was surprisingly calm. The Nasdaq hovered around 25,600 with little directional conviction. Our robot placed another long trade, captured a small gain, and pushed total realized profit up to 195 dollars for the day.
After Hours
No major tech earnings no meaningful catalysts, and Hewlett Packard’s report had already been absorbed.
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. Our algorithm handled the waves beautifully, pivoting from long to short to long and locking in a net profit of 195 dollars by trading one contract of the e micro Nasdaq futures.
