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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>in unrealized gains, <\/strong>a powerful overnight move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Morning Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tesla broke below <strong>400 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nvidia broke below <strong>180 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMD slid under <strong>230 dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Afternoon Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>After Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That wrapped up a busy Tuesday session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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 &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=130"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":131,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/130\/revisions\/131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingrobotic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
