Trade plans (futures)
NQ — Plan
- Bias: Neutral-to-bullish only while price holds the 29,305 open/last zone; below it, treat the morning as failed continuation.
- Key levels: 29,399.25 / 29,307.75 / 29,305.25 / 29,227.50.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If NQ accepts above 29,399.25, then favor trend continuation and avoid fading strength until it loses that breakout. If it rejects 29,399.25 and loses 29,305.25, then expect rotation back toward 29,227.50.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If evening trade holds above 29,305.25 after the cash close, then continuation is favored; if it cannot reclaim 29,305.25, expect mean reversion toward 29,227.50.
- Invalidation: Bullish bias is wrong on sustained trade below 29,227.50.
ES — Plan
- Bias: Constructive while holding above 7,405.75; ES is closer to its high than NQ, so leadership is modestly defensive/broad-market.
- Key levels: 7,420.25 / 7,413.25 / 7,405.75 / 7,391.00.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If ES reclaims and holds 7,420.25, then favor upside continuation; if it loses 7,405.75, then the clean downside magnet is 7,391.00.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If ES holds above 7,405.75, continuation is favored into the evening slot; below 7,405.75, shift to mean-reversion and wait for reclaim before pressing longs.
- Invalidation: Constructive view fails on acceptance below 7,391.00.
CL — Plan
- Bias: Cautious/bearish after rejection from 100.35; buyers need to defend 97.85–97.89 quickly.
- Key levels: 100.35 / 97.89 / 97.85 / 96.93.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If CL holds above 97.85 and reclaims 97.89 with momentum, then a repair move can target the 100.35 rejection area. If it loses 97.85, then expect pressure toward 96.93.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): Evening continuation lower is favored if CL remains below 97.85; a reclaim above 97.89 flips the setup back to mean-reversion higher.
- Invalidation: Bearish/rejection view fails on acceptance back above 100.35.
GC — Plan
- Bias: Bearish-to-neutral while below 4,705.20; gold is under its open despite elevated overnight range.
- Key levels: 4,714.20 / 4,705.20 / 4,673.94 / 4,655.59.
- 08:00–16:00 (if-then): If GC cannot reclaim 4,705.20, then favor rallies failing and a test of 4,655.59. If it reclaims 4,705.20, then target a retest of 4,714.20.
- 20:00–23:00 (if-then): If GC holds below 4,705.20 into the evening, continuation lower is favored; reclaiming 4,705.20 flips the evening setup to mean-reversion higher.
- Invalidation: Bearish bias is wrong on acceptance above 4,714.20.
Execution checklist (today)
- Use the 14:00 Existing Home Sales release as the main scheduled macro risk point; avoid initiating full size immediately before it.
- For NQ/ES, do not chase between open/last and high; wait for acceptance above the high or failure back below the open.
- For CL, respect the 100.35 rejection unless price accepts back above it.
- For GC, DXY strength above its open supports the below-open gold bias; reassess if DXY rolls back under 97.870.
- Evening slot: favor continuation only if each contract holds the day-session trigger level after the cash close.

交易计划(期货)
NQ — 计划
- 偏向: 只有在价格守住 29,305 开盘/最新价区域时,才维持中性偏多;跌破则视为早盘延续失败。
- 关键价位: 29,399.25 / 29,307.75 / 29,305.25 / 29,227.50。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 NQ 接受在 29,399.25 上方,那么偏向趋势延续,不急于逆势做空,直到其跌回突破位下方;如果在 29,399.25 受阻并跌破 29,305.25,那么预期轮动回 29,227.50。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果晚盘在现金盘收盘后仍守住 29,305.25 上方,那么偏向延续;如果无法重新站上 29,305.25,则预期向 29,227.50 均值回归。
- 失效条件: 持续跌破 29,227.50,偏多观点失效。
ES — 计划
- 偏向: 只要守在 7,405.75 上方,维持建设性看法;ES 比 NQ 更接近高点,说明广义市场略强。
- 关键价位: 7,420.25 / 7,413.25 / 7,405.75 / 7,391.00。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 ES 收复并守住 7,420.25,那么偏向上行延续;如果跌破 7,405.75,那么下方明确磁吸位是 7,391.00。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果 ES 守在 7,405.75 上方,晚盘偏向延续;跌破 7,405.75 后,转为均值回归思路,并等待重新站上后再追多。
- 失效条件: 接受在 7,391.00 下方,建设性观点失效。
CL — 计划
- 偏向: 从 100.35 回落后谨慎偏空;多头需要迅速守住 97.85–97.89。
- 关键价位: 100.35 / 97.89 / 97.85 / 96.93。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 CL 守住 97.85 并带动能收复 97.89,那么修复反弹可看向 100.35 受阻区;如果跌破 97.85,则预期压力指向 96.93。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果晚盘仍低于 97.85,偏向延续下行;重新站上 97.89 则把结构切换为向上均值回归。
- 失效条件: 接受在 100.35 上方,偏空/回落观点失效。
GC — 计划
- 偏向: 低于 4,705.20 时偏空至中性;黄金虽然隔夜振幅大,但当前低于开盘价。
- 关键价位: 4,714.20 / 4,705.20 / 4,673.94 / 4,655.59。
- 08:00–16:00(if-then): 如果 GC 无法收复 4,705.20,那么偏向反弹失败并测试 4,655.59;如果收复 4,705.20,则目标转向重新测试 4,714.20。
- 20:00–23:00(if-then): 如果晚盘仍低于 4,705.20,偏向延续下行;收复 4,705.20 则晚盘结构转为向上均值回归。
- 失效条件: 接受在 4,714.20 上方,偏空观点失效。
执行检查清单(今天)
- 将 14:00 成屋销售作为今日主要宏观风险点;数据发布前避免新开满仓。
- 对 NQ/ES,不要在开盘/最新价与高点之间追单;等待突破高点并接受,或跌回开盘价下方的失败信号。
- 对 CL,除非价格重新接受在 100.35 上方,否则尊重该高点回落结构。
- 对 GC,美元指数高于开盘价支持黄金低于开盘价的偏空结构;若 DXY 跌回 97.870 下方,需要重新评估。
- 晚盘时段:只有当各品种在现金盘收盘后仍守住对应触发价,才偏向延续交易。
