What the execution data shows
- Average capture on winners was 78%. #3 and #9 NQ both took 100% of their move. #1 NQ took 97%.
- #4 NQ was the only loss. It was a short re-entry 10 points lower than the first three, and it was cut at −9.5 inside 2 minutes. That’s the stop that was missing on #2 yesterday.
- #5 ES short on 3 lots was the day’s best trade: 4.08 of a 4.83-point move (85%), held 22 minutes.
- #10 ES long was held 35 minutes for +5 points and $493.80. That was patient, and it paid.
Takeaway
ES carried the day again with 4 for 4 and $1,300. NQ was precise, and the one loser was cut fast. Taken together, the two days show the whole lesson: the same NQ short idea cost $1,026 when it was held and $193 when it was cut.
