The market that day
- The Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow All Fell Slightly Friday. The Jobs Report Wasn't Really Why.
Explains the selloff was driven by rising odds of a September Fed rate hike rather than the jobs data itself, a key driver for ES/NQ that session.

How to read it: every strategy enters at the close of a 30-minute bar and leaves at its stop, its target, or its time exit, whichever comes first. Points are the move captured; net is one contract after two ticks of costs (NQ $20 a point, ES $50).
