Globex session · Wednesday, September 23, 2026
Net −$732.40 on 2 trades, 1 win and 1 loss. A good long early on, then one short that went against me and outweighed it. The loser took more than four times the winner’s points.

Two Apex account groups: the long on one funded pair, the short on a second account. Times are Eastern.
Where it came from
| Trade | Time ET | Net |
|---|---|---|
| #1 NQ long, Apex pair | 6:09 PM | +$293.80 |
| #2 NQ short (2 lots), second Apex account | 8:48 PM | −$1,026.20 |
What the execution data shows
- #1 took 7.5 of a 9.75-point move, a 77% capture, on 5.25 points of heat. Clean.
- #2 was a 2-lot short that was never more than 1.75 points green. It went 33.75 points against me before closing at −25.5.
- The loser took more than four times the winner’s points.
Takeaway
The read on #1 was fine. #2 is the familiar pattern: an NQ short that never worked and got held past the point where it was clearly wrong. A stop around 10 points would have kept this day close to flat.
