The market edged higher through the night,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>and our long position reached 175 dollars in unrealized profit heading into the early morning hours.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Morning Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The market stayed quiet at 7:30 AM everyone was waiting for the CPI data.<br>Our long position was sitting comfortably with 300 dollars unrealized profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Then at 8:30 AM, the Core CPI came in at 3.0%, slightly below the expected 3.1% a bullish surprise.<br>In less than a minute, Nasdaq futures jumped over 100 points, triggering massive volatility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Our long position hit the stop and reversed into a short but within seconds, that short was also stopped out,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>flipping 300 dollars profit into 172 dollars loss. That\u2019s how fast things can change in high-volatility moments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Because of slippage during the data release, stop orders executed at worse prices than expected.<br>a good reminder why it\u2019s often smart to avoid trading two minutes before and after major news events like CPI.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At 9:25 AM, just before the U.S. market open, the system flipped back to a long position.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>But by 9:45 AM, the S&amp;P Global Manufacturing PMI data hit, and the market dipped again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That long was stopped out, bringing realized losses to 263 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By 10:00 AM, the Michigan sentiment data came in weaker than expected, and Nasdaq started to dip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>A few losing swing trades followed pushing losses to 562 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>At 10:30 AM, a short position was entered on continued weakness. However, by 11:05 AM,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>the system reversed long again and that flip added another small loss, bringing the total realized loss to 596 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Afternoon Session<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In the afternoon, the market finally stabilized around 25,550.

In just seconds after 8:30 AM, Nasdaq futures spiked over 100 points, showing how sensitive the market remains to inflation data.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Despite the turbulence, our algorithmic swing trading system stayed disciplined, adaptive, and purely price-driven no emotions, just execution.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><br>By following our rules cutting losses quickly and respecting the stop we ended the day with a net loss of 491 dollars, most of which occurred during that CPI-driven volatility window.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That\u2019s the beauty and challenge of algorithmic trading it\u2019s not about being right all the time, but about staying consistent through every kind of market.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today is Friday, October 24, 2025, and this is your daily Nasdaq futures recap.
