Intel-driven tech rout sinks Nasdaq, but our strategies' short NQ trades won the day
Stocks dropped sharply as Intel's weak guidance and Amazon's heavy AI spending worries dragged tech lower, pulling the Nasdaq down hard. Our strategies' one long NQ trade closed on a scheduled exit and lost. Our strategies' short NQ trades were mixed: four were stopped out, one hit its target, and three closed on scheduled exits; the short side won for the day.
