Globex session · Wednesday, September 16, 2026
Net +$2,936.38 on 8 trades, 8 wins and no losses. First perfect night in the log. Everything was long, everything worked. Two of the winners should not have been as comfortable as the scoreboard makes them look.

What the execution data shows
- Capture on winners averaged 68%. #3 ES took 5.5 of a 6.0-point move (92%) on 2.75 points of heat. Clean.
- #2 NQ was the biggest winner and also the biggest risk: 31.5 points of heat on a 20.25-point win, 2-lot. I held through it for 20 minutes. Right outcome, wrong shape; that trade has been the day-killer on September 2 and September 8.
- #6 NQ (4-lot) took 23.6 points of heat for a 3.1-point win. Same pattern, more size.
- #7 ES was held 89 minutes for 0.92 points on 3 lots, 38% capture. The rotation came but I took the first piece.
- The gold trade was well managed: 75% capture, 4.2 points of heat, 8 micros.
Takeaway
Undefeated, but two of the three NQ trades absorbed 24 to 32 points of heat before working. On a night the market doesn’t come back, those are −$1,200 and −$1,900. The ES execution (tight heat, 80 to 92% capture) is the template; the NQ entries are early.
