What the execution data shows
- Heat stayed small all session. The worst was 4.5 points on #2 NQ, and #1 NQ never went against me at all.
- #4 NQ was the cleanest trade: 16 of a 17.5-point move, a 91% capture, on 4 points of heat.
- #2 NQ took 11.25 of 14.25 points (79%), and #3 ES took 2.1 of 2.9 points (74%) while being scaled over four fills.
- #1 NQ is the one to look at. It captured only 4.75 of 18.75 available points (25%), and NQ kept falling another 28 points within 25 minutes.
- The three NQ shorts stepped down with the market, from 30,852 to 30,838 to 30,821. I read the trend and re-entered it three times.
Takeaway
Ten straight winners across three sessions, +$4,375.92 combined, with tiny heat throughout. The edge now is in the exits. On a trending night like this, #1 left more points on the table than #2 and #4 made together.
