Stock Picks Recap for 5/2/16
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.

Futures Calls Recap for 5/2/16
A very dull, slow session to start the week on light volume (really dropped off after the first 30 minutes, which had been looking good). The markets gapped up a little and filled and the rest of the morning was pretty dull. We started drifting up over lunch. Both Opening Range plays didn't work. NASDAQ volume was 1.7 billion shares.
Net ticks: -28 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:

The markets gapped down, made minor headfakes to fill the gaps, then rolled. Finally had a day where 3 of the 4 Opening Range plays didn't work, although we used the midpoint on the NQ OR as the stop to tighten it up. Bummer for the end of a great month. NASDAQ volume closed at 2 billion shares.
Net ticks: -43 ticks.
