Futures Calls Recap for 5/19/16
The markets gapped down, then head-faked up for a little, then rolled again, using the LPT on the ES as general support for hours before coming back up to close above some key levels. NASDAQ volume was 1.65 billion shares. Opening Range plays were great, and we had another winner in the TF and a loser on the ES separately. See those sections below.
Net ticks: +54.5 ticks.
As usual, let's start by taking a look at the ES and NQ with our market directional lines, VWAP, and Comber on the 5-minute chart from today's session:

Stock Picks Recap for 5/18/16
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.
