Ticker: QQQ / NQ1!
Strategy: ORB Pro + Fib Confluence + EMA Trend Filters
Result: Small red day – self-inflicted
🧭 Market Context
Today’s price action gave a clear short opportunity during the mid-morning fade, but momentum stalled mid-session. The first entries lined up beautifully with the ORB breakdown and EMA confluence, offering solid profits early on.
Where it fell apart was after the first wins — I overstayed, chasing secondary flushes that never came. The market started to base, and I kept expecting continuation instead of taking what the chart gave me.
📉 Trade Summary
Multiple put entries between $601–$602 levels
Early trades locked quick gains (+$271.94, +$159.94)
Gave back a chunk re-entering late into chop
Final P/L across contracts: -$205.66 total
Cumulative Options P/L breakdown:
QQQ $602.50 07 Nov 25 Put – +$51.89
QQQ $575 10 Nov 25 Put – -$4.11
QQQ $598 07 Nov 25 Put – -$57.11
QQQ $601 07 Nov 25 Put – -$196.33
💡 Lessons & Takeaways
The first clean move is often the best move. Don’t overcomplicate a confirmed win.
Late-day trades = low probability. Volume dries up, conviction fades.
Protect the capital, not the ego. There’s no “making up” missed points — only protecting what’s already earned.
🧘♂️ Reflection
“The setup worked, but I didn’t. I tried to extract more from a move that was already complete. Next time, once my target hits, I’m walking away.”
