20250210 pre market


News
11:00 numbers

Condition 1
otf up followed by trump-tarff-liquidation

Condition 0
big non-true gap up

Thoughts
since the deep-seek-gap we see a robust market which is interrupted by trump news
the last two weeks are a balance area. One day we will break out of it
Until then, go for scalps with low holding time

Do not trade these news-events. This is algo playground. Not yours
