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.
