NVDA and GOOG longs set the tone, with Amazon scalped for repeat halves

The desk opened with an NVDA long off the lows, taken off ahead of the previous day's close rather than pressed into overhead resistance, and closed the session long GOOG at the 200-day with the first half scaled and the balance added back. Amazon was worked three separate times against a strong daily: a small stop on the first attempt, then the same half-dollar extracted twice by ratcheting to break-even instead of hoping. An SMCI short never resolved — it coiled, gave a partial, then stopped at break-even.

The morning in figures

ROCE

Net points are per share. Apply your own size to get your own number: at 1,000 shares, 0.94 points is $940.00. At 100 shares it is $94.00. At one share it is $0.94. The desk publishes the move, not a dollar result, because the dollars depend entirely on how you size, and that is your decision rather than ours.

Every trade called that morning

Losers included. Rows with more than one leg were scaled out; open any row to see each exit.

Said on the day

Closing a full position ahead of a known level is a valid exit, not a missed move.

Re-entering a name that already stopped you is fine if the daily structure hasn't changed.

Moving to break-even after a partial is a decision about what you're willing to return, not a rescue.

When a short starts looking like a breakout, reduce before the chart proves you wrong.

Adding back exactly what you scaled keeps position size honest instead of drifting.

Hypothetical performance disclaimer

Figures shown reflect trades called on the TrueTrader desk, tracked on a model portfolio — they are not the trading results of any member's account. These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.

Trading futures and options on futures is highly leveraged and carries a substantial risk of loss that is not suitable for all investors.
