Trades with B – Daily Recap (Nov 7, 2025) "Lesson Learned"E-mini Nasdaq-100 FuturesCME_MINI:NQ1!TradeswithBTicker: 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.”
