A fairly slow session ahead of the first Presidential Debate. The markets gapped down and established most of the range in the first 15 minutes, although we slipped a couple of points lower on the broad market over lunch and sat there for the rest of the day on 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares. See Opening Range Plays.

Net ticks: +9.5 ticks.
