January 7th, 2026, Live Nasdaq Futures Trades
I hope everyone had a great day of trading. I spent the last 20 to 30 minutes of the video really breaking down the price action and the dynamics of futures markets, including what causes price action to move. If you’re looking for information on why the markets move or how they move, that final portion of the video will be especially helpful. Take care, guys.
January 7th, 2026, Nasdaq Futures trade review. We were able to close with another green day today with $345.18 in the account. A win rate of 67.6% overall made for a really solid day. We were able to capture $412 just before commissions. Commissions were a little high today, but the win rate was good and the risk-to-reward was really solid throughout the entire session.
When I came to the charts this morning to see where we were in the market, I could see that we had a pullback from yesterday’s uptrend. Price action showed the market bottoming out and forming support at 25,725. This support helped lift the market back to VWAP, and once the market opened, we moved higher.
That move higher did not seem incredibly strong, so my thought process throughout the day was to wait for the move to fully materialize, then look to go short once some form of resistance developed above. The goal was to capture 20 to 30 points on those moves, and that approach worked out well. I had a few hiccups here and there with a couple of ideas, but staying above a 70% win rate for the day is where I want to be for my style of trading.
It was a faster day in terms of taking profits because we were not in a big trend. That meant targets needed to be a bit closer, and it was important to be quick with entries and quick with exits. After the market stabilized around 25,825, we were able to break into a nice upward trend.
That trend appears to be forming an upward channel and a continuation of the strength we saw from the action on Tuesday.
Thank you, Guys.
