Stock Picks Recap for 1/26/16

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.

Futures Calls Recap for 1/26/16

The markets gapped up and were mixed early. Opening Range plays had minor results, see that section below. We did not fill the ES gap (NQ did) and headed up, topping out over lunch and drifting back to the VWAP on 1.7 billion NASDAQ shares as things are still light since the storm back East. We had a small winner in the ES, see that 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:
