How did our Futures Trading Algo Do Today?
Discipline
No clean setup, no trade: staying flat is a position too.
Our automated alerts stayed flat on Tuesday. No strategies fired on NQ or ES, so there was no best or worst trade and the paper result was $0. With stocks drifting lower on rate worries and no qualifying setups, the system stayed selective instead of forcing a trade.

The story
Wall Street ended Tuesday lower as worries about higher interest rates returned. The S&P 500 slipped 0.25% and the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.41%, with tech weighed down by a sell-off in Nvidia. Hot inflation data pushed up bets that the Fed could raise rates again, and the 10 year Treasury yield moved close to the 5% mark. Higher yields make bonds more appealing and can pull money away from stocks, especially richly valued tech names.
The MAG7 and the megacaps
Big tech led the weakness today. The main headline was a sell-off in Nvidia, which dragged on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100. We do not have individual price moves for the other Magnificent 7 names in today's data, so we are not putting numbers on them. The Nasdaq 100's 0.41% decline, bigger than the S&P 500's 0.25% drop, fits a session where large tech stocks lagged.
After the bell
Treasury sells $42 billion of 10 year notes
The 10 year auction came at a high yield of 5.02%. A yield that high gives investors a strong alternative to stocks and kept pressure on shares.
Hot inflation data raises rate hike odds
Stronger than expected inflation lifted bets that the Fed could raise rates again. Higher rates tend to hit growth and tech stocks hardest.
Nvidia sell-off weighs on the indexes
A drop in Nvidia dragged on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100, since it is one of the largest stocks in both.
White House presses on with tariffs
The White House said it will move ahead with tariffs despite midterm backlash over rising prices. That adds to worries about inflation and costs for consumers.
Crypto
Bitcoin had a rougher day than stocks, falling 2.19% to close near $73,574. It traded between about $72,748 and $75,317 during the session. Crypto often struggles when yields climb and investors pull back from riskier assets, and today followed that pattern.
Into the night
We do not have separate overnight data in today's facts, so here is the session picture. The S&P 500 futures traded between 7,493 and 7,598.75, and the Nasdaq 100 futures between 27,516 and 28,109. Both finished in the lower half of those ranges, a sign that sellers had the upper hand by the close.
