Buy
Premarket. The 1H–4H stack carries a buy lean into the cash open. The first tradable call waits until 10:00 ET, after the 9:30–10:00 opening range exists. Mark overnight high/low and prior-day high/low. Do not front-run them.

9:30–10:30 ET
Buy
Accepted above the opening range (30,856.00) and VWAP. Buy a hold of that high. A 15-minute close back through the midpoint kills it.

NY morning

Morning continuation: the open and the 1H–4H stack agree. Stay with it only while VWAP holds.

Midday on Nasdaq is where the morning trade gets chopped up. No new call until 2:00 ET unless the open was a clean drive.

Afternoon only continues the 4H. No new countertrend into the cash close. Flatten if VWAP is lost.
