As Asian markets opened, the selling pressure intensified, and our robot jumped into a <strong>short position<\/strong>. But momentum shifted quickly, the move reversed, and the bot flipped <strong>long<\/strong>. Then, as Asia got into full swing, Nasdaq edged lower again, stopping out the long and triggering a fresh <strong>short entry<\/strong>. Around midnight, the market dropped sharply. That short position ballooned to <strong>over 500 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>in unrealized gains, <\/strong>a powerful overnight move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morning Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Europe opened, the Nasdaq slid to the overnight low of <strong>24,603<\/strong>. Our short closed for a clean profit. At <strong>8:30 AM<\/strong>, ADP Employment Change printed at <strong>negative 2.5 thousand<\/strong>, better than last month\u2019s <strong>negative 11.25 thousand<\/strong>,<br>but the market barely reacted. Then at <strong>9:30 AM<\/strong>, the US cash market opened, and volatility exploded. Tech stocks came out <em>weak<\/em>, the Nasdaq tumbled, and our robot reentered a <strong>short<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI stocks were bleeding across the board. As selling accelerated, the robot took profit again bringing realized gains to <strong>534 dollars<\/strong>.The meltdown continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla broke below <strong>400 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nvidia broke below <strong>180 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AMD slid under <strong>230 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nasdaq hit <strong>24,430<\/strong>, and our robot made another quick short scalp, pushing realized gains to <strong>549 dollars<\/strong>. At <strong>10:00 AM<\/strong>, the Housing Market Index came out at <strong>38<\/strong>, a tick higher than last month\u2019s <strong>37<\/strong>, and that helped spark a bounce from the lows. Meanwhile, our AMD swing trades got stopped out, bringing realized losses on AMD to <strong>73 dollars<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Afternoon Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All afternoon, Nasdaq hovered around <strong>24,675<\/strong>. Our robot made another short scalp, bringing realized gains to <strong>600 dollars<\/strong>, while AMD losses remained at <strong>73 dollars<\/strong>. By <strong>12:30 PM<\/strong>, the Nasdaq started to recover. Late afternoon stayed weak overall, but AMD losses were gradually recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No major news after the bell. Home Depot, PDD and Baidu released earnings That were all below expectation. The impact on Nasdaq was small. Investors were mainly waiting for <strong>tomorrow\u2019s FOMC meeting minutes <\/strong>and, of course, <strong>Nvidia earnings<\/strong>, which could shake up the entire tech sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That wrapped up a busy Tuesday session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was another rough day for tech, with the Nasdaq dropping <strong>over 500 points<\/strong>. But our algorithm navigated the chaos well, locking in <strong>609 dollars in profit<\/strong> for the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Tuesday, November 18th, 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 executed throughout the session.Let\u2019s jump right into it!
