One violent minute. A compressed session. And why the best setup still wasn't worth taking.

ES traded just 36.25 points on Wednesday — 47% below its 90-session average — with one 11:00 ET candle accounting for 87% of the entire day's range. NQ told a similar volatility story but behaved very differently at the open. The session also showed exactly why a fixed 1.5:1 reward-to-risk floor matters: when volatility compresses, the structure can remain clean while the geometry simply stops paying.
