Market consolidating after yesterday's +1.2% rally. NQ futures flat pre-market. Key levels: 20,650 resistance (yesterday's high), 20,580 support (VWAP from yesterday). Plan: Long bias above 20,620. Wait for VWAP reclaim and confirmation — no chasing. Max 2 trades. Daily loss limit: $400.

Took 1 trade — VWAP reclaim long on MNQ at 20,640, exited at 20,680. Clean A+ setup, exactly what I planned for. Market gave a textbook VWAP reclaim after the open, I was patient, waited for the candle close above VWAP, entered on the retest. Held for +40 points and hit my partial target. Didn't force a second trade even though I wanted to. Good discipline day. +$78 net.
