NAS100 Strategies

Good day guys hope you are preparing for New York trading. The Nasdaq stock exchange opens in exactly one hour. See you then!

Nasdaq stock exchange open and close time

Nasdaq Holiday Calendar for 2026 is here

Nasdaq stock exchange has opened by 9 30 am EST (or 3:30 PM UTC+1 NG time) and I have marked out the first 15 minute range. Next I will wait for price to beakout of the range before deciding if to buy or sell.

We also need to look at our earnings calendar every day to know whats heppening. It shows today 5 companies are announcing their quarterly earnings, 21 companies are scheduled to pay dividend so if you buy their shares now you wont qualify for the dividend. It also shows that 6 indices including NAS100 have adjusted their price downward to reflect upcoming dividend payments.

Nasdaq, Inc. (NDAQ) is scheduled to pay a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share on March 30, 2026. Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 16, 2026, will receive this payment. The ex-dividend date for this payout is March 16, 2026

Please shed more light on EX-Dividend date

@Kemi, from the Earnings calendar, Nasdaqs ex-dividend date is today 16th March which means if you were to buy their shares at any date from today up till 30th March when the quarterly dividend is expected to be paid to shareholders, you will NOT qualify to receive the dividend payment. However, you will receive subsequent dividend payments down the year but not the one they will pay on 30th March. hope this helps

I am still looking for a proper entry point, but for now I have not gotten one.

I have now taken a buy trade. My reason for taking this trade is because price broke out of the lower 15-minute range, and reversed back into it thus giving me my buy signal encircled in blue.

I got stopped out of this short trade

After I took my short trade yesterday and shut down my system, a bearish reversal pattern showed up which pushed price down

Hi guys, welcome to today's New York trading session. the Nasdaq stock exchange just opened two minutes ago (by 9 30 am EST or 3:30 pm UTC+1). So, i will wait for the first 15-minute candle to form then mark out it's high and low and wait for a breakout to either side.

I have marked out the first 15 minutes of the Nasdaq stock exchange open, next step is to watch for a breakout of the range.

I have taken a sell trade because after price broke out of the lower Asian range, it tried to reverse back into the range but failed, creating our sell candlestick pattern encircled in blue. Sl is of course above the 15 minute range.

I got stopped out of this trade, what went wrong? Well price decided to reversa back into the 15-minute range.

This was the reversal pattern that brought about my SL being hit

US Federal Reserve FOMC interest rate announcement is today 8 PM NG time so I wont be trading till after the announcement.

15-minute Nasdaq stock exchange open breakout strategy

The Nasdaq stock exchange opens by 9 30 am EST (or 3:30 pm UTC+1 NG time). After it opens, we mark out the first 15 minute range and wait for a breakout.

Price broke out of the upper 15-minute range and reversed back into it leaving a reversal pattern in its trail. I have thus taken a sell trade with SL above the reversal pattern
