It is February 17th, 2026, and you’re tuned into the Nasdaq Robotic Trading.
Market News & Economic Landscape
Today’s economic calendar was relatively light.
At 8:30 AM, we received the ADP Employment Change Weekly report.
Later, at 10:00 AM, the CB Employment Trends Index was released.
On the earnings front, there were no tech companies scheduled to report after the closing bell.
Overnight Session
When futures reopened at 6:00 PM, the index initially moved sharply higher, prompting our trading robot to enter a long position.
As the Asian markets came online, sentiment shifted and the market retraced lower. In response, our system entered a short position, which was later closed for a profit as downside momentum accelerated.
Pre-Market Data & Volatility
During the early morning hours, overall price action remained subdued. However, notable weakness was observed in both silver and Bitcoin, which experienced significant selling pressure.
At 8:15 AM, the ADP Employment Change Weekly figure came in at 10.3 thousand Following the release, futures edged modestly higher heading into the cash open.
Intraday Trades
At 9:30 AM, as the US equity market opened, the index initially spiked higher before quickly reversing course. Technology stocks came under pressure shortly after the open, contributing to increased intraday volatility.
At 10:00 AM, the CB Employment Trends Index was reported at 105.06, up from 104.51, indicating continued resilience in labor market conditions.
Throughout the morning session, our robot executed several swing trades, all of which were closed profitably. By late morning, realized gains had reached 451 dollars.
Afternoon Session & Into the Close
In the afternoon, futures remained under sustained pressure. Our system identified another short opportunity and entered accordingly, later closing the position for an additional profit.
By the closing bell, net profit from futures trading had reached 508 dollars. Combined with an additional 283 dollars from an AMD equity trade, total realized profit for the day stood at 791 dollars.
After Hours
With no major technology earnings announcements after the bell, this concludes our Tuesday trading session.
Summary
Despite relatively thin trading volume throughout the day, our trading robot generated a total profit of 791 dollars, trading one contract of the E-Micro Nasdaq futures alongside 100 shares of AMD.
