Futures Calls Recap for 4/5/16
We had one loser and two winners on the Opening Range plays. The markets gapped down and stuck in a narrow range of about 1/3 of average all day. We had a nice setup called in the NQ that never triggered. NASDAQ volume was 1.5 billion shares. See the Opening Range section below.
Net ticks: +2 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:

We stopped out of the second half of the prior day's trade on the GBPUSD in the money. A new trade worked and is still going, over 100 pips in the money. See that section below.

Stock Picks Recap for 4/4/16
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, SAFM triggered long (without market support) and didn't work:
INVA triggered long (without market support) and worked enough for a partial:
From the Messenger/Tradesight_st Twitter Feed, LNKD triggered long (with market support) and didn't work:
NFLX triggered short (with market support) and worked enough for a partial:
Rich's AGN triggered long (without market support) and worked enough for a partial:
In total, that's 2 trades triggering with market support, 1 of them worked, 1 did not. Lots more calls, but nothing else triggered on a boring day.
Futures Calls Recap for 4/4/16
I had an issue in the morning and missed the first 45 minutes of the day, so I missed the Opening Range plays for the first time in forever. The markets were mostly dead for the session so there wasn't much else to do on 1.5 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: -7.5 ticks.

Futures Calls Recap for 4/1/16
The markets opened down a little to start the quarter and rallied most of the day after a headfake to the downside. Unfortunately, the Opening Range Plays triggered to the downside first, which stopped, before they triggered and ran to the upside to make up for it or it would have been an even bigger day. We also had a separate winner on the ES. See that section below. NASDAQ volume was 1.6 billion shares.
Net ticks: +5 ticks.

A bummer of a session. The second half of the EURUSD from the prior session stopped in the money, but then a new GBPUSD trade triggered and barely stopped before going on to work for 150 pips. See that section below.
Here's a look at the US Dollar Index intraday with our market directional lines:
As usual on the Sunday report, we will look at the action from Thursday night/Friday, then look at the daily charts of all the pairs with the Seeker and Comber separately for the week ahead, and then glance at the US Dollar Index.
GBPUSD:
Triggered short at A and stopped just barely at B, which was unfortunate, because if you were awake to put it back in, it triggered at C, hit first target at D, and got all the way down to S3 at E for 150 pips:
