Reconstructed after the fact from saved 5-minute bars (the watcher was not archiving live on this day); alerts shown are what the current rules would have said.
No confirmed calls this day.
No trades this day.
The day opened at 29,714, ranged 296 points (29,564 to 29,860), and closed at 29,834 (+119 from the open). The high printed at 15:55 and the low at 10:10 ET.
The small 217-point gap never filled; yesterday's close at 29,497 was left behind.
The first hour was indecisive (body 0.18): a chop morning, where breakouts fail and the playbook wants patience over trades.
The system made no confirmed calls, and on a chop day that silence is the design working, not a miss.
You took no trades this day.

10:30 read (MNQ.U26): first-hour body 0.18 (up) -> mode chop. IB 29,564.25-29,821.75 (258 pts). Price 29,761.00 above VWAP 29,709.30; 21 over 9; VWAP crosses in hour one: 6. Chop: no Setup B; at most one Setup A at an outer level, or take the morning off.
11:30, morning session over (MNQ.U26). Flat now; the afternoon window opens at 13:00 with the day's high/low as its levels. Today: 0 heads-up, 0 confirmed.
13:00 afternoon read (MNQ.U26): price 29,739.75, above VWAP 29,731.46; first hour was up; morning mode chop. Afternoon levels: day high 29,855 (+115) and day low 29,564.25 (-176). Plan: a shallow poke of either that closes back inside = Setup A fade; a 5-min close through either = Setup C, join the first pullback (these held into the close ~2 of 3 times, best when they agree with the first hour). Lunch range is not a level. 5-min ATR 43: stops 32-65 pts. Caps: 0/2 afternoon alerts. Flat by 15:55.
15:00 power hour (MNQ.U26): price 29,725.25, day up from the 29,714.50 open, below VWAP 29,731.24. Day high 29,855 / low 29,564.25. Last hour made a new day extreme on ~43% of days, but breakouts of the 2-3pm range failed ~65%: only continuation WITH the day's direction counts, and a shallow poke of the day high/low that closes back inside is still a fade. Everything closes by 15:55. No overnight.
15:30 go-with-the-day (long) skipped: stop would be 93 pts, over 1.5x ATR.
16:00, day over (MNQ.U26). Today: 0 heads-up, 0 confirmed (0 morning, 0 afternoon).
