Stock Picks Recap for 8/26/16
With each stock's recap, we will include a (with market support) or (without market support) tag, designating whether the trade triggered with or without market directional support at the time. Anything in the first five minutes will be considered WITHOUT market support because market direction cannot be determined that early. ETF calls do not require market support, and are thus either winners or losers.
From the report, nothing triggered.
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, MCHP triggered long (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:

Futures Calls Recap for 8/25/16
This is the boring session that the prior one managed to slightly avoid. Where volume picked up in the afternoon Wednesday (strangely), it did not here, so nothing happened and NASDAQ volume was only 1.3 billion shares. Tomorrow should not be any more interesting. Opening Range plays didn't work out net with no one around.
Net ticks: -16 ticks.
