Trading the Nasdaq within the rules
The first 30 minutes after the 9:30 New York open produce the biggest moves — and the biggest losses. A fixed stop based on the opening range and half your normal risk during the first minutes keeps you far from the daily limit. On paid accounts, new orders are blocked from 30 minutes before to 30 minutes after high-impact US data.
