Stock Picks Recap for 2/3/16
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.

Futures Calls Recap for 2/3/16
The markets gapped up and gave us an Opening Range play that led into the gap and into the Value Area...dream plays that worked big on both the ES and NQ. See that section below. We sold off sharply, bounced to the VWAP going into lunch, and then hung near the lows for the close on 2.0 billion NASDAQ shares.
Net ticks: +43 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:

EURUSD:
Triggered long at A, hit first target at B, still holding second half with a stop under R4 at C, note how precisely we hit it and stopped on the way up:

Futures Calls Recap for 2/1/16
A very dead session to start the month of February. Mondays don't have to be exciting but this was a little ridiculous. The S&P 500 literally closed down less than a point and spent the first several hours in a tiny range after gapping down. With that, of course, the futures were choppy, so we're off to a slow start for the month. See the ES section for Mark's call and the Opening Range plays.
Net ticks: -41 ticks.
