| #2 and #3 NQ shorts | 8:14–8:23 PM | +$577.60 |
What the execution data shows
- Heat was nearly zero on every trade. #1 and #2 never went a tick against me, and #3 took half a point.
- Capture inside each trade was 100%, 94% and 88%, an average of 94%. That’s the best in the log.
- The move kept going after each exit. #1 had another 14 points available, and #2 and #3 had roughly 4 and 10 more. Across the three trades I took 32 of about 60 available points.
- After #3, NQ reversed and ran about 90 points higher by 9:45 PM. Stopping at three trades kept me out of that.
Takeaway
Entries were precise, risk was near zero, and I stopped before the market turned. The only thing left on the table was the continuation. On entries this clean, leaving one contract on as a runner is a low-risk way to collect some of it.
